X-Factor to get the PlayStation treatment?

PS3 Attitude writes: "Love it or loathe it, you can't get away from The X-Factor in the UK. The big "singing" contest in Britian is watched by millions each week with the series finale coming this weekend.

But it turns out Simon Cowell is not satisifed with this huge success and he is focusing more of his attention on the gaming industry."

Is that X-Factor Singstar I smell?

jamesrocks31475259d ago

interesting but this would be very good if sony did something with X factor possibly a online service to view X factor in HD over the internet would be good for free. this would put playstation more on the mark ether this or a game where u can also watch x factor but play songs and stuff like singstar who knows but this has to be something!

redsquad5259d ago (Edited 5259d ago )

Oh dear gawd, no!

I'm rather proud of the fact that I've never watched X-Factor (or "Britain's Got Talent") at all, EVER. Even the snippets I accidentally stumble across on other programmes have me gagging, but on the other hand any game would probably sell well in this country so why not?

TheBand1t5259d ago

So, what? It's basically a British version of American Idol?

LittleBigSackBoy5259d ago

Yeah, but bigger. Britain's got talent is better IMO.

SpoonyRedMage5259d ago

Or you know... American Idol is an americanised version of pop idol, the spiritual predecessor to X Factor.

PS. Americans didn't invent "The Office" either.

Kurisu5259d ago

What if people could audition via the PS3? Record a video of yourself singing, and then send it to external judges. They could pick out the really good ones, and take them through to the actual televised competition. So much potential here!

whoelse5259d ago

A lot of people would buy a PS3 just for that I'm sure!

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

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."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

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.

darthv7217h ago

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 consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM12h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife1h ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

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.

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

https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...

Tacoboto2d ago

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...

CrimsonWing692d ago

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 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 20h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21831d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

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

Tacoboto1d 12h ago

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...
