Everyone but Rare & Nintendo.

FamilyGuy4037d ago

Level 5, TriAce, Atlus, I'm getting a good feeling that RPGs will make a return, hopefully back to PS2 era amounts.

So many on board but how long will it be for them all to release their titles? And with so many I'd want to hope that they don't cannibalize each other BUT there are so many different taste in gaming that they should be okay as long as they don't go crazily over budget.

sherimae24134038d ago (Edited 4038d ago )

i remember back in 2011 the ps vita has also a long list of developers who say they "backing it up" but when it got release, only a few of them made games for it....

the only third party i can think off that is pushing the vita in the west is
ubisoft and tecmo koei
and also konami in 1st year

i hope this time... they finally be true to their words.. ^_^

Dj7FairyTail4037d ago

This is why I am not buying this list.

grimmweisse4037d ago

Do you honestly think developers won't be supporting or developing for next-gen consoles? It's in their best interest to do so. They won't be supporting the ps3 and xbox360 forever. They will need to move on.

Rusty5154037d ago

This isn't a handheld. Of course it's going to have third party support unlike the vita. This is an actual next-gen console that is up to date with mid-range PCs. Plus it's easy to develop for. It would be pretty stupid for them to just abandon this console when it can handle just as much if not more than the 720. I can actually see the PS4 library of games being much bigger than the PS3s.

miyamoto4036d ago (Edited 4036d ago )

PS4 and PS Vita has very different target markets, darlin'.
Just look at 'em games made for both platforms.

Stark comparison.
And the difference keeps getting more and more obvious.

Also look at the competition. PS4 will be dukin' it out with PC and Next Xbox and Wii U. PS Vita is up there with PSP, 3DS, Android and iOS.

We'll talk about PSVita & PS4 software support comparison one year from now.

Like the PSP the PSV's main target will be Japan and the PS4's will be the West. This is just how gaming culture on both sides has trended.

sherimae24134036d ago

but as far as i know, more ps vita are sold in the west , hence i saw a lot of articles in the net that america is the biggest supporter of ps vita last year,

the only problem right now is sony has not announced games that are western focus (infamous, gow, gt, etc.) but we can expect these titles to come to ps vita like uncharted, killzone and lbp that has already released

we can expect more games, specially from western third party for ps vita at e3 and gamescom and the rest of the year ^_^

well some are even leaked (new ac vita game?) tee-hee

BitbyDeath4037d ago

Usually takes ages for games to come out for new consoles but looks like PS4 is going to be something else.

Gamer-404037d ago

Very nice list.
Man, i think Ps4 the new Ps2. Easy win next-gen.

FamilyGuy4037d ago

I agree but I kinda wish we would all stop considering it a competition. It's just nice to know that a system I'm going to own will have support for years to come.

It's also nice knowing that because of the games and support the community will be huge and full of all kinds of people.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

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.

exputers16h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken3h ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g13h ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing12h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H912h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola9h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66911h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle11h ago

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 Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 4h ago

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.

Profchaos1d 4h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola23h ago

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

PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher

With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?

thorstein5d ago

No, and they already solved any need with the overlay that's coming.

Vits5d ago

Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.

Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft

Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC

Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher

The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.

Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.

ocelot074d ago

Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.

It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.

The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n

Nitrowolf24d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers

Tacoboto4d ago

Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"

N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"

When you don't even read the headline...

ocelot074d ago

I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"

So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.

Giblet_Head3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.

Einhander19724d ago (Edited 4d ago )

This is just another ridiculous double standard article.

It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

derek4d ago

Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.

just_looken3d ago

Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart

m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony

Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.

Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now
