I Want Playstation to Be the Easiest Dev Platform, Says Sony's Boyes

Developer relations exec wants PS4 and Vita to be as accessible as possible.

[pwnsause_returns]

The PS brand is in good hands

[Mr_Luke]

Damn, i hate Boyes =P but... well, i guess he's doing fine with PS.

[DarkLord1003]

Why do you hate him?

[Mr_Luke]

I don't like him, he remembers me of a jester or something like that. Nothing about Sony/PS/whatever, i guess many people took it personal, counting the disagrees. Or the disagrees were about "he's doing fine with PS"?

Well, to be honest, "i don't like him", since "hate" is a bit strong. But i hated Don Mattrick, i couldn't stand that idiot.

[SpiralTear]

I don't like him because he's not charismatic. He doesn't ever exert a sense of professionalism like Jack Tretton did. He acts like a kid in a lot of the interviews I've seen him in.

Tretton was proud of everything Playstation, but he was also incredibly humble. Even if he was marketing and advertising a system to me, I still felt like I was listening to an honest human being. Hell, even Yoshida, for all of his goofy tweets, is likable. His jokes are funny and I like his image because of it.

Boyes never emits a sense of humble professionalism nor is he funny to me. He doesn't sound proud; he sounds smug. He doesn't sound humorous; he sounds like he's trying too hard.

Okay...I don't know WHY I haven't seen that but that was some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a while!

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

Congratulations! It already is.

'I want the PS to be the easiest platform for devs'

Wait!

I thought it was already :)

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

It is! think about how much more easy they can make it developer
friendly. Yeah, it is easy to do games on! look at COD developers sledgehammer games, this game being lead to do on PS4 first because it's easy to develop, same goes with bungie with destiny. Imagine what new tools and technology will do it, even easier!

[XxExacutionerxX]

Oh really... Go out and make a game on the Playstation 4, then let us know how easy it was.. (

[candy_mafia]

hehe, that's totally funny!

..go make a PS4 game! i think I know what death driver 777 meant though :)

[sin7279]

sony 4 life :)

[XxExacutionerxX]

Microsoft 4 Life :)

[iceman06]

A Real LIFE 4 Life??? :)

[slutface]

This a far cry from the ps3 era . they totally learned from their catastrophic mistake of making ps3 nototoriously hard to develop for. I'm glad there is some brains in the Sony camp.

[incendy35]

Would love to see them adopt the open model of the App Store and Steam. Would love to see all consoles adopt that model. I love to write apps and most of them I give away free, but until they adopt that model it is impossible for the community to show that kind of love.

[IRetrouk]

I can see where you are coming from, and kind of agree, I think there still needs to be some sort of review before the apps or small games get added, some of the stuff on the play store is just flat out broken or just really crap.

[incendy35]

Both those systems still have quality control and ratings criteria, I just mean the open model of anyone can develop and submit content to be approved and added to the store. Right now it is very difficult to get an app or game into any console store, as you have to have an SDK and be approved as a studio to even try to submit anything. So much political BS that are not found on PC or Mobile markets.

[pwnsause_returns]

the problem with the open model is piracy.

I see where you're coming from and i like the idea. But that problem gets in the way.

[CocoWolfie]

naw hope so :3

[SliceOfTruth888]

YES this is why i support sony they have it together! Everything they do is for ME and that is whats important. They dont care about the bottom line and this isnt even just PR this is LOVE FOR GAMING! Which is what none of these other companies understand Thank You SONY!!!!!

[Applejack]

I agree with what you said except that last line.

[KinjoTakemura]

Sony cares about profits, they're actually trying to give people choices, which actually sells consoles.

[Pillsbury1]

Keep doing what your doing Sony.

[Killzoner99]

This is why Playstation is dominating. The competition does not stand a chance as is but now Sony is making if easier for devs to bring amazing gaming experiences only available on PS4.
