Shawn Layden, boss at PlayStation Europe just answered the question, “When can we change our PlayStation Network Names?”. His answer wasn’t quite clear, but hearing the audience getting loud, his reply was, “Hey, hey, hey. I hope we’ll see events occur that you don’t have to ask me that question next PSX.”

Within a year isn’t soon. Super glad it’s finally happening though.

Gazondaily2328d ago

Definitely. Better late than never

freshslicepizza2328d ago

I'm not sure they understand very soon. It's been so many years now.

Nice. I know a few who have been waiting for this.

@Skull521 @Freahslicepizza @threefootwang I think MS better step up with their exclusive games. Do you really think PSN name is that a big deal ? Yes, it is important, but not too big a deal. I’m glad it’s coming. Also, I don’t like MS change the UI too many times. It’s like MS change to look fancy which isn’t working.

Edit : What about Xbox ? It would be better if Xbox could download faster, had something similar to PlayShare, didn't have a cumbersome and backwards-steppin' UI.

@Skull521

Full generation behind? Yeah...because next gen only started when you can change your username, right?

Skull,

Being a full gen's worth of real exclusives behind the competition is the true meaning of "being a generation behind".

The sooner the better. Been a long time hearing people asking about it, and it'll be nice when it doesn't have to be asked for anymore.

lxeasy2327d ago

It should have been available for a while. But I’ll never give up my OG PS3 name: SmielmaN

XisThatKid2326d ago

Apparently it's harder than most think. They said the foundation of psn has to be changed to make this a possibility

Jinger2326d ago

That's not a bad thing. PSN is in desperate need of an overhaul.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

Profchaos32m ago(Edited 32m ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

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.

jznrpg1h 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.

Profchaos1h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion28m ago(Edited 25m ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well
