Invisible walls is the shit! Shane and Marcus are a good combo. Good job guys

Jazz41084289d ago

Quick answer is Yes for the short term and a big Hell No in the long term. One unknown vita game and a few psn games and crossplay with vita will not sell this sinking handheld. They need to realize that only kids want to carry around a big portable vita in there pocket and that is not Sonys audience. Cell phone plus vita plus wallet makes one look like a nerd.

majiebeast4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

Omg people will think im a nerd the horror. Can you imagine what those people, i will probably never see again will think...

TBM4289d ago

grown a$$ adult here who has both, and only games on my vita, my phone is just for texting, calling, and browsing web while at work lol.

for me sony didnt have to redeem themselves since they always have games for me to play.

iamnsuperman4288d ago

I agree with you about it is for a younger audience. Handheld gaming is majority a younger audience and Sony need to start releasing games at that audience. Also release some crappy games like Nintendogs. I think cross play is a great idea and the media molecule idea looks very innovative but they also need to release these types of games for it.

R_aVe_N4289d ago

These guys are fairly negative about everything do they even like playing games?

iamnsuperman4288d ago

I have noticed that recently and they are also reluctant to change their pre existing thoughts

ProjectDeputy4289d ago

redeem for what exactly ?

they had the best e3 compared to nintendo and their imba boring conferance and m$ wich yet again was another boring kinect hello kitty presentation.

sony + ubisoft owned E3 this year.

and yes sony had a awesome conferance too here..with alots of original and creatives games + lots of stuffs for the vita.

cant wait for more info about the ps mobile.

palaeomerus4289d ago

No Sony did better than MS and Nintendo but still they weren't impressive. Nintendo was confusing and didn't give us much info about Wii U. Microsoft showed us Halo 4 which was cool then wandered off to kinnect land which nobody cares much about.

Sony meanwhile, practically ignored their new, expensive, unpopular handheld, showed some more of their patented 'cinematic' style brown games that non Sony fans barely care about, and then Wonder Book was a sad farce.

Just because Sony fans never want to hear about Sony needing to redeem themselves doesn't mean that they never need to redeem themselves.

And I haven't heard of ANYBODY much caring about Gamescom anymore. Which is why nobody else even went. That makes me wonder how Sony being the only one to show up and showing three vita games one of which is in a mostly live action trailer, possibly counts as anything like redemption. Vita/PS3 games isn't going to sell Vitas to many people.

This gen is pretty much over. Last call.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers21d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken20d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g21d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing21d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H921d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola21d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66921d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle21d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg22d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos22d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola21d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC27d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos26d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga26d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer27d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60227d ago (Edited 27d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya27d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde27d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP26d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
