Sony's Peter Dille talks in-game XMB

In a recent interview with Game Informer, Peter Dille, Sony's Senior VP of Marketing, discussed a number of topics regarding the PlayStation 3. While Sony's current place in the console market, exclusive PS3 titles and more may interest gamers, the one you're all dying to hear was indeed included.

While responding to a question about firmware updates, Dille wandered onto the topic of in-game XMB himself:

"As far as in-game XMB access, we know it's a feature that's important to our consumers. Because PS3 packs so much advanced technology 'under the hood,' it takes some time to implement major, new functionalities, but we are working hard on addressing this feature, as well as continually expand the capabilities and functionalities of PS3."

There you have it - they're working on it, and it IS coming at some point in the future. It's been pretty clear that gamers want it, and it seems that they'll eventually receive it. The last question we have is when. More on this controversial topic soon. heres the link: http://www.psu.com/Sonys-Peter-Dille-talks-in-game-XMB--a0002074-p0.php

Thats it, keep your mouth shut on the date until you have an exact date.
DO NOT give out a date without it being written in stone!

Give a date and then not delivering would bring on WW3 here on n4g.

mccomber6655d ago

if the past firmware updates are any indication, the internet will give it a date and then erupt all on it's own if it's not met. Remember the 2.0 backlash because of what people "expected" to be in the update?

tethered6655d ago

Yes, true. Sadly, I do remember that.

+1 for keeping me grounded. lol

TrevorPhillips6654d ago

PirateThom6654d ago

I think he was talking to Dille for not giving a date for XMB.

tethered6654d ago (Edited 6654d ago )

Haha!
That was funny.
By the way, great find even though he didn't give a date.

Public Eye Creators Wolf Games Are Switching To AI-Generated Gaming

When Wolf Games unveiled its debut title Public Eye, the announcement felt less like a routine game launch and more like a signal flare for the future of

I will never purchase an AI generated game, I will not contribute to something that takes away artistic human expression and creation in gaming. I'm not one of those people who says, "I hope this fails" like so many often do about everything gaming these days but on this one I have to. AI has it's place, just not here.

That’s It, I’m Calling It, Xbox Is Dead, Time Of Death February 20

If you read Kotaku even semi-regularly, you already know that Xbox has been in a weird spot for some time now. And with today’s news that both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and President Sarah Bond are leaving and the new head of the brand will be a former Meta exec who previously lead Microsoft’s AI division, I think it’s time to call it. Xbox is dead. Time of death: February 20, 2026

God! Xbox dead again! Boring! Boring. Heard it all before.

InUrFoxHole1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

While I normally agree... The future of xbox is on shaky ground. Well, xbox as we know it. Im not sure what they are shooting for but who they put in charge mixed with Phil retiring and bond just flat out leaving. It's not looking good.

Levii_923h ago

Oh come on, Xbox has been dead for at least 10 years now. I think what’s more important right now is Playstation’s death that is very slowly but surely happening through mismanagement and greed.

InUrFoxHole1h ago

Some what agree. Sony is in a better position to unf#$k themselves. Xbox isn't.

ocelot071h ago

I actually agree sooner Hust is gone the better.

This is why the views and comments are low, with lame articles that use divide-and-conquer pretensions.
