GDC: PlayStation Home Tools and Details

PSU reports from the "Home Tools and Support: Creating Content for PlayStation Home" presentation.
*UPDATE* screens added.

Anything but Cute5924d ago

There was nothing. No annoucments. I mean Microsoft did little but they still did the most. Atleast they confirmed Gears of War 2 and revealed more on Fable 2 and Too Human.

That's not much, but it's more than Sony did.

Also, I'm still waiting to see why Sony pulled the 80GB off the market.

I didn't expect GDC to be this lame. It was overhyped.

Captain Tuttle5924d ago

They hype everything. I don't think Sony mentioned that they were going to announce anything at GDC. Every little word by a Sony middle manager is taken way out of context by these guys.

nicholascage245924d ago

Why would SONY need to announce anything when the world already knows whats coming to ps3 this year.

2008 sees the biggest game of this generation ff13 ,mgs4,kz2,resistance 2,wks,gt5,lbp,wardevil,8days,g etaway etc

so there is no need for announcements especially when all the biggest games of the year are on your side

Plus Unlike you (FANBOY OF OUR OPPOSITE CAMP) we are busy celebrating our Blu Ray victory for the moment. On the other hand some People in your camp especially the ones who bought 300 000 HD DVD addons are left with nothing but pain and agony for the money spent on a defunct drive and PERHAPS A TO BE DEFUNCT console too

Captain Tuttle5924d ago

Thank you for making my point.

The Game DEVELOPERS Conference is for developers and not for gamers. There was plenty of awesome developer news this week.

On topic: I can see that this has potential to go far beyond any reward system for games in place before the release of HOME. Instead of just receiving a reward title, trophies, or points a developer can make it so that getting certain "achievements" in game will reward you with special items for your apartment or avatar in HOME.

I can't wait.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 5h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie20h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 7h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 5h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 5h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii16h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno14h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
