Open Home as Sony talks to devs:
Denny names social networking as key at London DevStation conference
The latest figures from Sony's PlayStation Network underpinned the bullish attitude at its three-day DevStation developer conference, held in London.
Millions of pieces of content have been downloaded, while Michael Denny, VP of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, Europe, also said the number of network registrations since launch was very encouraging.
Next up will be download packs for MotorStorm, which will be available in premium (adding 'significant gameplay' to the title), and lite flavours.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣
MotorStorm debuted on PlayStation 3 15 years ago today (in Europe), and remains one of the format's best alternative racing games.
Ahhh motorstorm....i still have the reveal trailer back in my mind from e3 2006 or 5 i think...ps3 never manage to par the gameplay trailer back then but the game especially the first one for me was AWESOME....I m sure that ps5 is capable to give us now this kind of fidelity....for me motorstorm and daytona usa 2 in arcades still is my favorites arcade racer ever....
Bought the 60gb PS3 with motorstorm and my first 720p/1080i TV on the release day, great memories. Oh the mud!
Real shame this franchise fell by the wayside. With todays tech it would/could be such a great open world arcade racer.
The first Motorstorm was good, but Pacific Rift blew it out of the water IMO. Still one of my favourite arcade racing games of all time. I also really liked Apocalypse, despite the Supercars and Superbikes being OP compared with the other vehicle classes.
Mororatoem 1 was excellent the visuals and everything had a really good vibe about it. If they remade that with a festival type open world... If only
I'm waiting anxiously for those Motorstorm tracks, they're going to kick ass. It probably takes them forever to polish up and tweak their tracks, it's no wonder they released with only a few so as not to delay the game.
As for Home, it's going to be interesting to see what these developers create. I think the concept of it all is really innovative. Instead of the lonely, desolate feeling of clicking through an interface, you can actually interact, communicate with people, share ideas. A pretty refreshing concept.
speaking of tracks, sony appears to be on the right one...
new motorstorm tracks. What would be sweet is a track where you srat off on dry ground, and as you go through the laps, it starts to rain, and makes the ground all muddy, that would be awesome. With Lighting and everything. Question for the people that play motorstorm...Is it just me or does the headsets not work on the game anymore. I dont know what i am doing wrong, but it rarely works for me. Can anybody explain how it works? I bought a brand new samsung bluetooth headset and I registered it and everything. Frustrating.
CANT WAIT... OMG .. Motorstorm Fighting!! :P
you can't be playing online via wi-fi, communication issues w/headset - that isnt true..i can use bluetooth with WiFi to play lol u think sony would be that stupid..its ur choice USB/bluetooth works fine
internet connection has to be like Type 1 or Type 2, something along those lines- I think you can see it under Network Settings or refer to the online manual - im not really sure what that means but from where question i dont think u know what ur talking about either lol - my internet connection is just fine - i have rogers hi-speed and im flying on the network!!!
on topic - sony is start to show us y we invested the $600..with a great ok i should say amazing line up coming near sept and home continues to look better and better - PS3 is starting to look like the future console of choice.
whats cool about this article is that they mention that polishing companies can even host there own rooms etc etc etc and get them involved as well - that would be wicked!!!
im soo excited about home and the line that is coming
