Oh i see.

norman295595d ago

He had me at FREE then secured me at RPG :D

DaCajun5595d ago

It's someones homebrew game they are making. It is not a legit PS3 game. Just someone showing what they are homebrewing for their hacked PS3.

I_find_it_funny5595d ago (Edited 5595d ago )

it's not official

hazelamy5595d ago

but if sony had the sense to set up some kind of indie program, like they actually did way back on the ps1, then this could get an official release that wouldn't need a hacked ps3.

i guess sony and sense are mutually exclusive, some times anyway.

Well this was worth piracy coming to the PS3!
/s

10:1 says this never releases (At least not before the PS4 launches, lol)! Place your bets here! :P

supremacy5595d ago (Edited 5595d ago )

I dont so much mind the you know... the so call inspirations and creativity of these young artists out there wanting to create their own games.

But to make ps3 games i would think one would need some sort of official dev kit around and those are usually and exclusively sold to established publishers and partners.

Now after this whole hack fiasco took place, it seems that any tool can be use to run software not specifically design for the ps3.

Its good for young talent to get a chance to showcase their talents to the masses.

But this on the other hand isn't exactly something i can sit back and say i be proud off.

Don't exactly know what the implications of free games on the ps3 without the knowledge or consent of Sony will be.
But i figure if Sony isn't making a dime out of these games in order to fund the effects this might have on the sales of actual published games.

Had they said ok heres a homebrew game for the pc, i would have been like "ok i applaud these guys" as the pc is an open platform which actually supports these kinds of things.

PS3 on the other hand is close platform only opened to those already in the industry for obvious reasons.
One of those being that its a business that thrives on exchange and this contradicts that natural flow.
Which in other words its harmful and makes Sony seem like they have no control over their core business model.

deadreckoning6665595d ago (Edited 5595d ago )

Awesome that Sony is offering more free stuff to PS3 owners. Maybe I won't have to hack my PS3 at all :)

"that's what 360s are for"

Hrm...no I'm pretty sure the PS3 can be used for hacking as well.

ReBurn5595d ago

I see what you did there. Heh.

Otheros005595d ago

Yes, the ps3 can be used for hacking other systems.

gunnerforlife5595d ago (Edited 5595d ago )

i can use the ps3 to play 360 games, which makes the 360 useless lol

Edit at below now that would be veryyy funny haha

nycredude5595d ago

YOu know what that would be fucked up if someone 360 hating hacker made a homebrew on Ps3 that played 360 games.

Masterchef20075595d ago

Sony will send a firmware update that will cause all the PS3 in the world to join together and hack into XBOXlive then sending bad firmware to RROD 360 consoles world wide.

Masterchef20075595d ago

I dont even know if thats possible because the 2 have extremely different architectures.

TheGameFoxJTV5595d ago

What a game looks like in the concept stage.

cool cole5595d ago

Actually it's the final build of the game, we are expected to float everywhere and do nothing. It's free so don't complain.

StarScream4Ever5595d ago

Free for all or free for Plus? ;D

blumatt5595d ago

Either way, Sony seems to be adding more and more value to having a PS+ subscription.

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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d 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.

Soy25d 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.

Relientk7726d ago

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

Cacabunga26d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga25d 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

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d 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_Box26d 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.

robtion25d 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.

darthv7226d 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.

Agent7526d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

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

Lightning7726d 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.
