Sony Online Entertainment's working on massively multiplayer shooter The Agency for both PlayStation 3 and PC, which raises a lot of interesting questions about developing an online game for both platforms at once.
For example, with both versions underway for both PC and PlayStation 3, could players on both platforms interact in the same game world?
SOE is indeed considering it, says executive producer Wilson -- "In fact, we're actually doing that at the office. Technology-wise, it's really not that complicated."
But there are three key barriers he says stand in the way. First is game exploitability -- Wilson uses the example of the high quantity of hacks in a PC shooter like Counter-Strike to describe how it's significantly more difficult to secure a PC online title than it is on a console's closed platform, and maintaining the safety across platforms presents a challenge. "Being able to manage that is no simple task," he says.
DefaultPrime writer Mike Patuleia takes a stroll down memory lane, looking at some PlayStation titles gone to the wayside that Sony should take a second look at bringing back into the fold with the advent of the PlayStation 4.
I'd like to see a Legend of Dragoon which features some flying, as well as some other things, but that's just me.
Heavenly Sword is always a given when these lists pop up.
I'd like to see a new Lair. That game could've been better than Drakengaurd (did is spell that right?), had it not been for the poor execution. But i know Sony wouldn't allow it.
Game was an unpolished gem. We'll prolly never see another game like it.... what a shame.
I would of prefered if Nariko would of somehow returned for the sequel, but you make a great point and I too would love to see a new protagonist.
Junkie Monkeys: With the PlayStation 4 set to release later this year we take a look at PlayStation 3 titles that should release on the PlayStation 4 instead.
my suggestion are these games; syphon filter, medievil, Lifeforce Tenka, G-Police, and wipeout
dark cloud 3
parappa reboot(platformer)
the legend of dragoon(probably the most requested sequel game)
jak 4
GOS: "As expected, Sony updated the Playstation Store today but what awaited me while I was browsing could either be a mistake on their part or an unintentional leak."
IF it is back on then great. I mean, even if it is not an MMO maybe it could make a great multiplayer esque FPS experience, maybe be a bit like Borderlands.
