Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi has stated that while the company expects to earn healthy revenues from the sale of downloadable content for the PS3, there will be no charge for basic online services.
In an interview with Japanese site PC Impress Watch, Kutaragi said: "You can't charge money for network matching and other basic services. These things are just taken for granted on the PC."
"On the PS3, basic services will be taken for granted while content will be the bread and butter of our business."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
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.
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.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Right. And there would be:
2 x HDMI connections --> 1 x HDMI or not at all
Killzone in game material E3 2005? Yeah right Motorstorm CGI last years E3, nowhere to be seen in the last PS2 kind of demo...
Remember PS2 Toy Story debacle? The so called emotion Engine which had emotion yeah it made me cry because it wasn't there. With Cell they are promising movie kind of graphics. Yeah right Emotion Engine 2? I will cry only harder for sure
PS3 cases on E3 2006 where empty cases. Nothing ran on real final hardware
Launch Spring 2006? Summer 2006? Christmas 2006... Up till the last moment just keep the lie going and then have to delay
PS2 would also have never experienced online gameplay. Right. I never experienced something online that bad!
All lies, lies lies
PS3 online services will be free. Does that include games? Well yeah uh right. Yes they say finally. Do I believe them? NO. Maybe only free stupid arcade games are free, the rest of the big games need servers, by Sony or by game producers. Either way, they need money to support the servers. Money they are going to charge the users for sure
Please, notice how he hasn`t said free online gameplay, multiplayer services!! Fony sucks!
If it's free it won't be good. Hopefully it is. :(
Well if you go back to the E3 press conference they show the free "basic services" on a slide, and multiplayer is no where to be found.
I won't believe it till I see it.
"According to Kutaragi, the PS3 will make use of network services "from launch day", and consumers will embrace the idea of digitally delivered content within one to two years."
Also, the online-multiplayer will be "free" because Sony is not providing gameplay servers, and leaving this up to the game producers.
