Playstation Conversation - A Glimpse of the New PlayStation Store?

Could the PS3's new web portal be a sign of what's coming to the PlayStation Store next month?

doogiebear4236d ago

I could care less about a new store. A new xmb with new features is more useful. I have no problem finding what I need on the store as it is, but wouldnt mind a change. It's just not really that big a deal like a new xmb would be.

BitbyDeath4236d ago

Changing the XMB at this point isn't really needed. Hopefully they create an entire new one for the PS4 as they should then have a ton of memory which they could take advantage of.

BitbyDeath4236d ago

Well it looks half decent, i hope the load times are faster than the current store.

For me, unified is the key word. Live had a great interface & such until the latest change (which may have been up to a year ago), but point is, I hopped onto the 360 & logged onto Live a few weeks ago & I hadn't been on for quite a while (as PS3 is my go-to, game riddled console), & I thought the current Live interface was absolutely terrible, confused & the worst they have mustered up yet. Why didn't they just leave the tab based xmb.

But to get back on point, I'm sick of this whole seperate store crap....just unify all english speaking territories to one PSN hub. Have the one HQ type situation, & within they can allocate what is bought from which countries & allocate the funds to each territory that earns them.
This will mean it all feels like were all using the same system, have the same demos, games & general content available to us.

The only detractor is that as is, I can, as an Australian in Australia, buy a U.S. PSN card from playasia (or wherever), & on my U.S. created account, I can purchase games & content for cheaper, or stuff that isn't available on Au store, like the banned MK's extra characters, & The Walking Dead games, & I have access to everything game related.....The only thing I can't buy, which is a bit dissapointing, is films & such for sale on U.S. store, which could be fixed with a unified store, as if set up right, your account & credit card info would determine where you are from, & then Sony could allocate the funds from one global HQ to the countries that the funds came from. Surely it is do-able, & surely now we will get a M rating in Australia, the whole Walking Dead, Mortal Kombat & such crap, would not factor in.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5070d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5070d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5070d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495070d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5070d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5070d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
