Matt Banks says: "Since it's confirmed and I was debating this in my head this morning, I wanted to get all of your opinions on the matter. With a Premium PSN coming in 2010, will you pay for it? I fully understand that it will depends on what added benefit most people will get, but just remember that everything you have now on the PSN will continue to remain free, including online play.
Personally, I'm on the fence. I'm in the minority of vocal internet gamers who sees the value and benefit in Qore and don't mind paying for that every year. A lot of you disagree, and I respect your opinion. I'm sure I'll end up paying for it anyway just so I can tell you all about it, but if I wasn't in my current position, it's a tough call especially in this economy."
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
Watch Formula One star Lewis Hamilton play video games from his childhood and learn more about his gaming history.
He did a track guide for Neurnberg 24 in GTsport.
We have had no more content since then, maybe a few time trail modes, I believe there was one from Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstapen as well, due to the red bull partnership.
Back to Lewis, He STILL wears the Gran Turismo logo on his caps, every weekend Formula One races take place.
I was expcting more from this sponsorship, oh well. This video, is kinda rubbing salt into the wound, for me
That Driver tutorial still haunts my dreams. That parking lot saw me fail a thousand times
Online gaming will likely stay free which is basically the only thing I need PSN for other than download demos or DLC once in a while. As long as I can continue to do that without a fee I will probably not bother with the premium service.
Sony will need something to entice people into paying for the service so I'm guessing cross game chat might be one of those things (though I'm hoping it isn't).
Beta keys to big games as part of the service would certainly get me interested in it and I'm actually quite anxious to see what Sony offers in return for our cash.
No word has been made yet so only time will time.
It depends of the content. I wont pay premium avatars or premium gamercard background, just like I don't pay for gamerpics on Xbox 360. Neither for premium themes and even less a Playstation Home subscription.
The online play will remain free but if you will have to pay for it, I will but like with Live, I only will because I'm forced to do so. If it's for a European Qore, I will subscribe within seconds, and if they make pay-to-play cross-game chat, I will eventually pay if my friends do (there's no sense paying for a chat if you have no one to talk with).
But once again, it depends of the service and its quality. It's not "I'm a Sony fanboy so they have my wallet".
There is no way to answer that without knowing what it is i'm paying for.
gaming will still be free so again its about what's being offered.
If it have good things to offer, things I like, yes.
