Sony has flat-out denied to CVG that it is working on the heavily-rumoured PlayStation Phone, after fresh speculation did the rounds yesterday.
Rumours were refreshed yesterday when Sony Computer Entertainment's co-chief operating officer, Jim Ryan, reportedly told The Economic Times that convergence between Sony's PlayStation and Ericsson arms to create a portable gaming phone was "definitely plausible". But Sony tells CVG he was misquoted.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Don't see the point now, maybe for the next gen? :/

Translation: Get ready for the PS Phone.
... oh well, I guess if they can make shoes...
sony bring out new phones all the time, especially over here in asia (europe too, maybe). They just would want to cash in on the playstation brand name and probably get a good line of gaming phones out. Lot's of analysts (stuff I've read here and there) state that the mobile gaming market it just going to rise.
iTS COMING.
