What Gamers want from the Playstation

Revolt-Tech Writes:

The Playstation 3 sure has come a long way since the disastrous launch way back in 2006, the main avenue of advancement being the evolution of PSN from a 3rd rate service to one of the best and most active gaming communities . Compared to its main rival, Xbox Live, PSN has done an amazing job for a service offered to users free of charge. They’re delivered so much… but damn it, we want more. Here’s Revolt-Techs wishlist of what we want via firmware updates by the end of 2011:

1) More streamlined. Yes. It's not killing the PS3, and it would go unnoticed once it kicked in, but it is needed.

2) Voice Messaging. That would be nice, but a party system, would be better.

3) Inbox updates. I could care less. The item icon is good enough, but if some people want a number, then that's fine, and it should be extremely easy to add.

4) Downgrade PS Home. You read my mind. I have been thinking this for the longest. If the characters and the spaces weren't so detailed then things would load a lot faster. I'd rather have near instant loading, and micro downloads, then high polygon and great textures in what's suppose to be a social network. Drop the realism and go artistic next time.

5) Private Chat. I agree, but again not a must have.

6) Rename Friends. Not going to happen. I had the same idea, but for games. Let us organize our games based on PS1, PSP, PSN, and PS3 games. I have over 100 games, and it would be great if I could move the titles I play the most to the top for quicker access.

7) User Generated Dynamic Themes. Once again you read my mind. We can already make themes, now let us make Dynamic themes.

Good job, this was a nice change of pace for the normal n4G.

Definitely agree about the XMB, it's the only big problem I have with PSN currently. I still don't know why it loads up all the other categories that require you to go back to the Home menu to use (i.e. Video, picture, system settings, browser etc.). Just load up the Friends list and all the other bits on that category and it's a big, big help.

I agree and also a browser upgrade would great (make it google chrome).

Custom XMB! Cross game chat so people will shut up about it.

And for Blu Rays to actually start where I last stopped. It seems most of them don't support that. I don't know if it's the hardware or the software, but it's the one big downside of BD and seems crazy considering my PS3 still remembers the place of DVDs I haven't watched in a couple of years.

Tony-Red-Grave4832d ago

how bout you go figure out why sohy CAN"T implement X-game chat then come back and post it.

instead they should add a feature similar to X-game chat where you can speak to a friend no matter where he is in the game as long as you'r playing the same game.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
