Jordan Lund rages over Sony's selection of PS3 and PSP games to compensate gamers with.
Excerpt: "So here’s the problem: most of these games were pretty high profile when they came out and they came our a long time ago. Pursuit Force is the oldest of the bunch – it came out in Europe SIX YEARS AGO. I think it’s safe to say that anyone who wanted to play LittleBigPlanet already picked it up when it came out THREE years ago. By offering a list of old games Sony really isn’t doing anyone any favors. Plus, for people like me who already own most of these games, I don’t really GET anything."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
I was hoping for Burnout Paradise. Oh well. I can't complain as they are free. If you want something else, you can always purchase it. It isn't like Sony is going to deprive you of new games.
Um, why don't you DL the ones worth the most $ and then sell the retail copies? Another crybaby, take you ps+ and quirosity and movies rentals and home items and stfu
Is EVERYONE just going to repeat the same thing over and over again? These are some of Sony's best games. It's not like they are giving you some half @$$ed minis or something. If you already have the games take everything else and SHUT UP. For the love of cake the gaming community is the whinnest group of all the media in the world. NO ONE complains as much as gamers do, not even movie buffs. I though after PSN came back the whining would stop. But stupid naive me. The whining is infinite.
such baby's...
If you don't like the sauce,
don't take it.
If you special treatment, you can always just give it back to Sony and Sony will spit in it for you.
