Sony video games are getting a little more interactive, with today's announcement of Player Studio, a program that allows players to create in-game items to be sold in the Sony marketplace.
(Dev, Industry, PC, PS Vita, PS3, Sony, Tech)
A lot of the games you like are made by people who used to be modders. This has been done 10+ years ago with a game called counter strike. Left 4 Dead was a mod. Team Fortress was a mod. "User-created TF2 items bring in up to $47,000 for some Steam members" http://www.joystiq.com/2010...
"success of one Team Fortress player in Kansas who was earning $150,000 (£97,000) a year making virtual hats." - Gabe newell http://www.bbc.com/news/tec...
Sony is so far behind trying to be like an open platform.
Oh no I criticized the all powerful lord sony! Disagree all you want I just proved it.
It's a good thing you only have one bubble so that your trolling is reined in. God forbid a console company help out people wanting to get into modding easier, and probably laying the foundation of future console game modding opportunities.
Wow you're the most narrow minded person I came across this site. No, not alot of games made by people used to be modders. You need to go to college and get a degree under Programming, Art, Design, Level Design, Sound, or Management. People don't often just randomly get hired for making mods. Even if they do that is on rare occasions
listen mate every company has their own pros and cons for a company to address their cons is basically inovating. Sony never had this and are adding this to their their list of features, so what's with your silly ass school boy comment. Are you that down about your own life you have to try flame people on a gaming news site where we are all here for the same reason, get a life you nob.
This is great that Sony is allowing modders to build items to be sold on the marketplace...but lets not get ahead of ourselves by calling it innovative when MS gave out dev kits FREE to ANYONE so that they can make 360 games.
Maybe now SirBradders you will still stick with MS...but I have a feeling you never really planned to do it to begin with regardless of this OLD information brought to your attention anyways.
@ MasterCornholio If that was suppose to be a stab at MS. then maybe you need to research more since Kodu has been out for two years now. which allows you to make "GAMES FOR FREE" with your 360 or PC.
Yeh and i'm pretty sure they were thinking specifically about you as they made the decision to do it lol , i'm glad all the tax that goes into education isn't wasted

Wrong. You do NOT have to go to "game development" schools to make games. What do you think they were doing before all that came about?
And Valve did hire modders. A successful mod will get you hired, school or not.
that was a game made with valve and i think turtle rock studios who did the AI coding for CS:S.
The rest of your argument isn't worth rising to
Huh? Innovative?
MS already did this by giving out a free dev kit to make 360 games a long time ago.

Who cares if Sony isnt the first to do this what matters is that they are doing this unlike other console manufacturers.

Oh yes, none.
Is that so hard to understand?
