A spirit-level app

Xgamerzus5328d ago

wow this is a serious announcement if there is one!!!

D4RkNIKON5328d ago

I wonder what types of apps will come. They should take a look at the PSP homebrew community and base some of the apps off of that. Like a youtube app so you dont have to use the web browser, twitter app, SKYPE app with voice and video support!

sinncross5328d ago

Am I the only one who reads the non-software as exactly as it reads in the slide: video/ comic etc.

Its basically all media content that is not a game which is what is being pointed at.
So possible they'll revive the sony music connect store and let ppl download music off PSN. Add ebooks, further the reach of vidzone etc.

An app store would be neat but I somehow dont see them going that route just et.

Do it Sony!!! I want an XMB FireFox App!!! And an XMB Clock App. And an XMB IM App that supports MSN Messenger. And an XMB Skype App. Think of all the possibilities!!!!! And also an Xbox Emulator App, as well as Snes Emulator and the likes. uTorrent App?

PSX emulator with possibility of rendering the output in 1080p not just upscaling the signal.

A decent music player is the only addition to the PS3 I dream of and I'd pay dearly for one. Some new music visualizers would be great too.

POOR XFLOP 360 BUT BUT BUT WE HAVE BOT BOOK ALSO LOL

PS3 Head and Shoulders Above BETABOX 360.

App Store would DEFINITELY be a good idea on the PS3. This way, instead of having Life with PlayStation, Home, Photo Gallery, etc. having show up on the XMB, you can download the icon!

This would make the XMB roomier, and maybe people can download the PS Store Shortcuts as an app, too.

What!? That is freaking great!!!! I really loved this game back in the day and was so pissed the Remake got changed and then eventually canceled. This is such great news that it’s the original. Will definitely get the plat for it.

Mr Pumblechook5h ago

The article mentions:

* PC
* Nintendo Switch
* PlayStation 4
* PlayStation 5

But why isn’t there a mention of the Xbox Series version?

CrimsonWing695h ago

Yea that’s a Limited Run Games thing like what @Scissorman showed in the article. They’ve tried selling the physical versions of Xsex games, but they just don’t sell. But I’m fairly sure this should be digital for Xbox, if not, then it’s time to drop Xbox and come to greener pastures.

wesnytsfs2h ago

@CrimsonWing69, greener pastures.. Yep moved to mainly PC now myself get all the good games from both companies now if only Nintendo would release games on PC too.

RiseNShine2h ago

so a ps1 game launched in modern platformos, mmmkay. I can play it already in emulators with high res, retroachievements support and more, doesn't make much sense.

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop21h ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE20h ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

porkChop16h ago

The problem isn't them respawning. It's that they respawned after just 5 minutes. Like you'd still be in the area looking for diamonds, loot, exploring, etc, and the enemies would just respawn with you there.
