Just from a programmer stand-point, this is a sign of a first step towards allowing user id changes, IMHO.
This is a sign of moving towards a method of account interaction from third-party Web tools rather than the closed off apps and consoles (before you couldn't update your profile items except via those closed off apps and not via the Web). This likely means they've moved from compartmentalized database structures to using intermediary systems for validation, security, and allowing update of user data across all of their systems.
Its really not much different than what was already available on playstation.com. I guess they are trying to separate it out, maybe to expand it in the future. Still pretty barebones. Probably the one area I think Microsoft does a better job... ability to see all your information in one place from purchases, games, friends, profile, etc. It does seem to remember my login information which was always a problem for me on playstation.com normal login.
It seems pretty obvious that this the launch and more features are coming. I would like more starts. The ability to share directly to the profile. Conversations and stats.
No, not at all. I mean like how this blog post states. For fucks sakes, what does this have to do with the Switch? And Sony's track record has been good this gen with feature promises. So I mean like they have been.
Just by the fact that alexg587 mentioned Playstation lacking remote play, kind of proves that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just one of these guys that like to point out what something is lacking, even if they don't know what they're talking about. He must be a blogger.
They really need to make an app for PC. I really like the Xbox App on windows 10. Being able to message friends and party chat with them is great. Like when am on the way home from work am on an hour long bus ride. I would love to simply open the PS App and join friends party's and chat to them.
There is an app, its called a webbrowser, and also the remote play app, and now again the web browser, and there is also the mobile app (which you can use another app to show your mobile device on your computer.
This seems to indicate you can use party chat from remote play, I use remote play but have never tested the party chat. I wouldn't expect Sony to produce a UWP app for Windows 10, I'm not sure why they would want to. Not sure what the capability of the iOS/Android Playstation apps are... seriously doubt Sony is going to invest in UWP deployment though for Win10.
I have used this a while now already (so this supposed to be a new news??) and I have disliked that there is no communities working on this. I wanted to write something to my communities online but no.
Cool
