Very smart move. All those Twitch/Ustream feeds suddenly become free advertising.

thejigisup4154d ago

Very cool now I can actually use my phone for psn messages without having to connect to my PlayStation that is fun. If only they'd fix the issue with the ps3 turning inn and receiving a thousand messages I'vealready received on my ps4. Stilla great update

KyRo4154d ago

We've been able to reply to messages from the app for a while now or am missing something?

I agree with you about the messages not being shown as read on the PS3 but have been read on the PS4 showing up.

Does anyone else also have the problem when messaging from PS4 to PS3, the person your writing to revives the first message but when you reply to the message they don't recieve it?

Could of worded that better but meh lol

thejigisup4154d ago

o definitely able to check the messages but connecting to the ps4 would wake it up, which is not what i wanted it to do.

I have only had that problem when group messaging but that has since been fixed.

pwnsause_returns4154d ago

it needs to natively run on tablets. it kinda sucks that that i have to resize the app on the ipad.

sounds like more live service stuff....

Obscure_Observer40d ago

Definitely.

Looks like they haven´t abandoned their live service plans after all.

"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe. We can’t wait to reveal more."

At least it's not an extraction shooter. It's team-based, so not likely my thing. But perhaps it will at least add something new to the current slew of MP games out there?

YourMommySpoils40d ago

What's the LFG stand for?... Les. Oh, let's not go there.

darthv7240d ago

..well their definition is: The “LFG” in “teamLFG” stands for “Looking For Group.”

staticall40d ago

At least it's not «LandFill Gas»

"industry veterans who have shipped titles like Destiny, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room"

"and richly social virtual worlds"

"where players can find friendship, community, and belonging"

"We will make immersive multiplayer worlds"

"but throughout live service as we continue to grow the game and community for years to come"

"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs"

Jesus. Does Sony ever learn? Like if they want to partner with them that's cool and all but buying the studio right off the bat? It's insane thinking after all the money they've just lost from Concord, not to mention the lack of actual hype for Marathon. Who is making the decisions here?

ravens5240d ago

This is their main multiplayer studio now. Hopefully nomore pullin teams like Santa Monica, Bluepoint, Naughty Dog etc into stupid multiplayer endeavors.

P_Bomb40d ago

Yeah, I’m not feelin’ this new project tbh. Another live service?

SonyStyled40d ago

They didn’t buy the studio. They created it

-Foxtrot40d ago

Buying it or not they still had to put a lot of money into it

They could have created a new studio to reboot some older titles or ones inspired by them. A JRPG like Legend of Dragoon, a first person shooter like Resistance or a platformer like Jak and Daxter.

TheColbertinator39d ago

The only way Sony will learn is through pain.

Extermin8or3_39d ago

Thry didn't buy the stufio they created the studio. Big difference.

Can't believe they killed Japan Studio, London Studio, and Pixelopus for this, Destiny, and Concord.

pwnmaster300039d ago

I get the rest but studio Japan is basically just team Asobi

Maybe they'll be able to keep Playstation console prices stable as a result. One can dream.

Outside_ofthe_Box40d ago

I doubt. Only reason PS console prices hasn't change is because Sony stock piled in anticipation of tariffs. 6-12 months at best until they announce their own increases.
