Ahh Playstation Home it just keeps getting better and better.

Dante1124538d ago

Dang, this is pretty sweet.

Godmars2904538d ago (Edited 4538d ago )

Only streaming video from a PS3 into your Home space would be better.

ryhanon4538d ago

Yeah, it would be - don't hold your breath though. That'd be tough for Sony to pull off given copyright complications, not to mention the possibility (reality / inevitability) people would stream porn and no real way to age verify anyone... not a can of worms Sony is going to be eager to open.

Godmars2904538d ago

Yeah, I know it'll never happen for the very reasons you point out, still it would be nice.

DA_SHREDDER4538d ago

Um, thats what mods are for.

fluffydelusions4538d ago (Edited 4538d ago )

It's cool and all but it's only through the crackle service. Why not netflix, youtube etc? Better choices with better selections.

GamerSciz4538d ago

Netflix because it would cost us extra as Netflix has a streaming service and won't just allow PS3 users to access the library and watch for free. Youtube because it's not very movie or show oriented (I think you mean Hulu). Again though Hulu has a streaming service already.

http://www.crackle.com/

On the other hand Crackle is what Hulu used to be. Free legal streaming service. Perhaps down the line to increase revenue and library size we may have to pay for a larger library.

Truth is, nothing in life is free, at least not forever.

FAGOL4538d ago

That's pretty cool. I haven't watched Snatch yet. Is this US only? If it is can you use a US account to use the service from the UK?

Peppy la Moca4538d ago

It is U.S only for now, but the devs have said this is the first phase which is U.S only, but it will eventually be available to users everywhere.

Dunno about using a U.S account tho. I tried using the BBC iPlayer on my U.S account and that didn't work so iunno.

Very solid addition to Home btw, no problems while I streamed desperado. If you do pause for longer than like 30 seconds tho it might restart the movie on you. I'm sure this will be fixed soon tho, and also I don't have the personal one, just the one in the cinema so that one might not have the problem.

GanjaMan4538d ago

SNATCH is an amazing film, if you havnt watched it you havnt lived! Its a great British movie and Brad pitt nails the 'Pikey' role incredibly.

fluffydelusions4538d ago

If you watch snatch may as well watch lock, stock, and 2 smoking barrels as well

Peppy la Moca4538d ago

Yup, yup. Both are great movies. Vinnie Jones is a badman in both of those haha. Great humor, great dialogue, and the action's not bad either lol

GanjaMan4538d ago

And then you might as well watch Rock N' Rolla too!

ZombieAssassin4538d ago (Edited 4538d ago )

Any Guy Ritchie film really... minus "Swept Away"

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken9h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt12h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken8h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 5h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 5h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies19h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
