Playstation Network Platform Up and Running

Yesterday Gamespot provided a review of the latest build of Full-Auto 2 that they played at Sega's development offices..

Buried right near the end of the article was this little quote "It's also worth noting that we played Full Auto 2's multiplayer on the actual PlayStation network platform, so apparently Sony already has its online gaming infrastructure up and running well ahead of the new system's release."

Couple this with Sony releasing the 50GB Blue Ray discs (finally) and things look to be steadily falling into place...

yessssssss!!!!free online gaming from launch day

TheMART7213d ago

premium quality never comes for free. Two choices:

1. Free but sh!tty with lags like PS2 free online gaming
2. Basic free like XBL silver, but pay per game to producers for running good servers

Just choose. I would take paid and enjoy instead of free and be f*cked up again

NitrogenB7213d ago

Do you have any experience w/ ps3 online service...no...none of us do, so my advise to you would be to stand up, go over to a wall, and slam your face into it until you stop breathing...you might sound a little smarter then...

TheMART7213d ago

Well it's called logical thinking

- PS2 online service was also free and would be great according to Sony. We all know it stinks

- Furthermore we know that all premium quality comes for a price. It's simple. And what is free and good, like Microsofts Hotmail service, is paid by advertising.

It's one or the other. If you don't want to hear it or read it, plug your fingers into your ears or don't read any posts. These are legit remarks. Live with it or leave this site

NitrogenB7213d ago

legit remarks, you have no basis for them other than what ps2 offered last generation...and they delivered exactly what they said they would...a free online service...that's exactly what it was, you played people online....for free...it worked...anywayz, stop basing your arguments on last gen, giving us two choices when you haveno idea what it's gonna bring...no clue, so anything you say is theory, so don't try and pass it off as truth...that's all I'm sayin...you asume too much when you know nothing of the ps3's online capability...leave with that.

4me27213d ago

"premium quality never comes for free"

So you finally saying that$600 for PS3 is what you pay for quality? LOL

TheMART7213d ago

Nope. I was talking about 'free', not about an overprised betablurayvideplayer where the BR drive is the most expensive part in what should be a GAMEconsole.

I wouldn't call 400 dollar/euro for a Premium 360 'free' actually, even not a 250 dollar/euro Wii.

Too many things are overpriced as is the paystation. Like Sony let people pay to much for Betamax, Minidisc and UMD. Another format of them that will fail because of the price. Including the PSZero with it's crappy quality BR drive like the PS2 drive was crappy

Silent7213d ago (Edited 7213d ago )

I think xboxx60 is rated toddlers. Imagine the annoyance, headace, aggravation and stress.
No adult in the right mind would get a xboxx60...or would they???????

THELANDSOFSAND7213d ago

lol

you are the kind of people i report or block on live!

;)

TheMART7213d ago

Actually you funny dumb kid, I own a PS2, but the DVD drive gave up on me after a short time of gaming. Sony didn't want to replace for free and wanted to charge me a lot of money. So I threw it in the closet and bought an original xbox and now a 360 with premium service.

So please, shut up about things you don't know mate. You don't own a 360 otherwise you would feel great about XBL. I guess you're Lametime with a new nickname again because your spelling stinks like his!

Asuka7213d ago

"So please, shut up about things you don't know mate" LMFAOROFL

and you were the one talking like you know everything about PS3 online, way to contradict yourself buddy

TheMART7213d ago

I am not saying I know what the online system will exactly be like. I talk on logic thinks of price or free and the possibilities on that. Again:

Well it's called logical thinking

- PS2 online service was also free and would be great according to Sony. We all know it stinks

- Furthermore we know that all premium quality comes for a price. It's simple. And what is free and good, like Microsofts Hotmail service, is paid by advertising.

I read the preview of full auto 2 and saw the same thing, the netork is up and running, how sweeet is that. This goes in the face of all the 360 fools out there, that said Sony would ahve a network, that it was all the developers servers. Also, the 50GB Blu Ray disc is out, man, its all voer now 360, take it like a man.

THELANDSOFSAND7213d ago

"so apparently Sony already has its online gaming infrastructure up and running well ahead of the new system's release"

the key word here is APPARENTLY. they obviously don't know what the multiplayer was running on, and their best guess is that it is using the PS3's online hub, but they don't know.

Silent7213d ago

RPG & Adventure Developers are going to LOVE this. Some one is going to make a game that is impossible to get finished LOL...

TheMART7213d ago

So who were on this online network then? If the game is only in the office of the producers running on their devkits?

Right. The article didn't say anything about online MP over internet. It just ran on an internal HUB for sure

kingboy7213d ago (Edited 7213d ago )

doesn`t concern xbox @ss, if ur tired gaming with 360,take some sleeping pills and go to bed.

THELANDSOFSAND7213d ago

don't you have some grills to promote?

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7727d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga27d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman26d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box27d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion26d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7227d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7527d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit27d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14927d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7727d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
