Yesterday, Sony debuted their latest PSN initiative, a multimedia magazine called Qore, that's designed to give PS3 owners a specialized serving of interviews, gameplay and other extras once every month. While IGN was able to get a sense of what the basic magazine structure would be for each issue in his Qore announcement story, they were curious about the full downloadable product, so after waiting more than five minutes for the 1.5 gig file to download on their high speed office line, IGN were able to check out the first few elements of the magazine (obviously, your download speed may vary).
With this April episode, Qore concludes its run on the PlayStation Network.
Today on the PlayStation Blog , it was revealed that April 2012's edition of Qore would be the last issue released.
Good that whole thing was a waste in a poorly put together package.
They should just focus on putting out smaller individual videos rather than a big downloadable thing thats irritating to use. Making ofs, dev diaries, they could even look to some of the good gaming related series on the net for inspiration.
They could put out little featurettes, lets plays, maybe some reviews. As long as they let them go at it unbiased it would be pretty good. If there could be a show of the caliber of all your history or jon tron's shows.
It would be a relatively cheap way to get people looking at their games and content as easy passive and consumer friendly advertising. Though it would rely on quality content.
It probably would have been more effective if they'd streamed it. A poorly-put together show is nothing. Look at the crap clogging the gaming media today. It's just that no one wants to wait an hour to DOWNLOAD a poor put-together gaming show.
Yep that's honestly why I never watched those. Never wanted to take the time to download.
No way, the money should be spent on developing a sit-com. It stars a Sony Executive and a Microsoft Executive, who have to share an apartment in downtown New York for utterly arbitrary reasons. They are frequently visited by Fanboy, a fickle videogame fan who frequently switches sides completely from one exec to the other, depending on whatever wacky scenario is in play for that episode. Antics ensue.
Clearly, this is a gold-mine. Can I have my million dollars NOW, Sony?
That idea is literally the best thing that could happen to tv today. I'm completely serious. Tv is crap these days and I feel like an old man when I saw I miss the 90's and "when I was younger we had better tv shows." It's just the truth though.
ehhh never really cared for qore, i only watched like 13 mins of a episode. honestly i have n4g to get all my gaming news, trailers, etc from.
