Jack Tretton, the president of Sony Computer Entertainment America, has blamed "business minds" for problems with PlayStation Home.
Speaking in an interview, Tretton said part of the reason issues have arisen with Home stemmed from, "the disconnect of when Sony took Home out of the creative minds and put it the hands of business minds... but I would rather ship it two years from now with a lot of good stuff, than open it as some ghost town.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
oh unbelievable!!!
To the people who reported this submission as "bad editing":
If you want to know how that sentence ends simply click on the link, talk about lazy. (you're supposed to read the entire article anyways before you comment).
Yup. BTW home is NOT coming out this year, quote me on it if you must. An OPEN BETA for home is coming out this year. That basically means, HOME with less features and bugs, that not everyone will get involved with because it's a beta. Also, can you really expect games that have come out already to be patched for home when it might not come out for ages? Look at tropies. As many past games (probably fewer) will support home and in-home game launching as support trophies - only 1st party and very few indeed. Home will NOT let you launch into games aside from those that already do, and games coming out AFTER home launches. I.e hardly any when home launches. So if you want to play GAMES with your FRIENDS, you WILL NOT be able to meet up in home and play them. I repeat, you WILL NOT be able to meet up with friends in home and PLAY THE GAMES YOU WANT TO PLAY. You will have to quit out of home and find the server they are on in the usual way.
Rant over, if I get any disagrees please explain. I can see home will be great for what it is, but as far as the whole "meeting up and playing games" thing goes, it will fail.
jack tretton is that dude!
Just get the open beta out and im happy...
damn.. so many delays with the ps3. at this point. they better be putting amusement parks and rides,museums,schools for game designs, i better be able to get in a car pick up people and drive to my friends house in home. ect
