C'mon Sony, stand your Ground

If someone has Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe's balls please give them back.

Ru6178d ago

this article deserves to see the light of day dont dismiss it because of the numerouse stories on it..
This is a new outlook on perspective.

And I for one believe in what this article is saying and it happens to represent how most gamers are probably feeling.

TrenchaunT6178d ago

It's a very crummy argument. Just because in World War 3 churches were destroyed it's somehow OK to act irreverently toward something which people feel is sacred? It really has to do with respecting other people and their traditions and beliefs. For example, if your favorite sister with whom you were very close died, then her grave would be sacred to you. Now if someone made a video game which happened to portray that part of the graveyard with lifelike realism, to the extent that it actually had her name on the grave with the proper inscription, I'm sure you would be pissed if the game involved ramming the headstone with a truck or splattering someone's brains out over it.

Hmm, I don't know what to say about the many reportings, but the article has a point. I do agree that the Church really does not have any grounds on what they are pursuing. Whether his argument is good or not is up for anyone to decide, not going to comment on its integrity (just skimmed through it, not in the mood to analyze).

@coyote: you do have some good points there. don't know what to say about whether this is news worthy

dissectionalrr6177d ago

i find it funny that the group of people who are responsible (indirectly) for the vast majority of death and destruction over the course of human history have a problem with violence. religion and violence are like peas and carrots. it's really quite hypocritical. maybe if you were fighting jews instead of aliens they wouldn't have minded so much.

Ru6178d ago (Edited 6178d ago )

not Freedom when some will not get offended...
Screams out from this article.

Most of the time I agree with some of your reports but this one Im gald made it, and not just because it was my submission, but because all gamers need to really think why are we being prosicuted for this? Why is it that because a church (another giant orinazation/company)can try/manage to take away our most valuable rights, If one cannot make there own descisions on what to play or not to play who will, The Church? ESRB does just fine and I support that, but definately not what this church is trying to do.

The Snake6178d ago

True. Censoring things just because someone gets offended by them is the opposite of freedom.

I hope Sony holds their ground on this.

News posting sources

When posting a news story always link to the original source of the story. (((Most websites just recycle news from other websites.))) Try to track down the site that posted the story first and use that site’s story as the basis for your N4G news post. You can still give credit to the website you first found the story on by putting their address in the “Credit” form.

There are however some situations where linking to another site than the original source is ok. If a website has an updated version of the story with new info or if their article is a lot better written than the original it is ok to link to that article instead. But the general rule is to always link to the original source of a story.

(((Also internet forums and message boards do not normally qualify as a reliable source.))) However linking to screenshots and videos posted on forums is ok. You can also link to forum posts if the post is made by a developer or other industry professionals.

Also, don't forget to thank the Xbot Chris for the points you make from this story.

razer6178d ago

How are we being prosecuted? Sounds a little dramatic.

This is a much deeper issue in freedom of expression vs offending someone. We live in a society today that doesn't have much respect for the past and as soon as someone questions expression they are immediately prosecuted as trying take away freedom. We need to have some respect for holy places whether we agree with them or not.. But I digress.

I'd like to see Insomniac make a game where they show the face of the prophet Muhammed and blow up some sacred sites.. They won't because they know there offices would be blown up.. They picked an easy target with this one(ie p*ssies) but it's OK they will only rot in hell for it.

Ru6178d ago (Edited 6178d ago )

Do you even listen to yourself?
This Source I submitted was correct and has new more relevent context.
If I was to submit the appology statement from Sony that would be incoherent and also duplicate.
Also this was written by a respected contributer at YouNewb.com
I cant belive giving your Nickname here, you would not want to back Sony, Cause thats what im doin... Im also backing all of gamers rights.

ITR6178d ago

Like I said before..Sony is going to settle out of court.

They are currently negotiating stipulations now.
Like pulling the game/donations/censoring the game...and whatever else they decide on.

Ru6178d ago

Why? If either of them have some balls and believe in what they are spewing there would be no settleing.
Sony needs to take a stance and I would hope if MS was in the same shoes they would as well, Not for the sake of the company but for the sake of the Gamer and to defend the rights of humanity!

I dont like to sound so cheesy and or arrogant but this is a push button argument.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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!!

Rude-ro68d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7268d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_68d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga68d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2368d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200068d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin68d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole68d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix68d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198968d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

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 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt745d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon743d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 743d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris745d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09745d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty744d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb744d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602744d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop744d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72743d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya744d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Days Gone Director Pitched Open World Resistance; Wasn't Interested in Syphon Filter Reboot

Days Gone director & former Bend Studio dev Jeff Ross says he pitched an open-world Resistance game to Sony; he wasn't interested in a Syphon Filter reboot.

P_Bomb860d ago (Edited 860d ago )

Sony rejected an open world Resistance? Come ON guys. Stop with these timed deals for Deathloop etc and let’s go!

This plus the fact Days Gone hit 9 million has me scratching my head this week. Why so cynical?

porkChop860d ago

Resistance doesn't need to be open world though. Just because it can technically work doesn't mean it's a good direction for the franchise.

P_Bomb860d ago (Edited 860d ago )

No I know, but seeing as the franchise has no current direction, I’m in the camp of anything’s better than nothing. Could always just dip a toe in like GOW, TLOU2.

excaliburps859d ago

Well, yeah, but any new Resistance is good! LOL! XD

EvertonFC859d ago

Agree tbh it sounded straight off the bat what halo infinite turned into but just a resistance version of it.

Army_of_Darkness859d ago

An open world resistance based on resistance 3 would be awesome ballz!

CanadianTurtle859d ago

As a huge fan of the series, an open-world Resistance would not be a bad idea. Especially if it had Day's Gone's gameplay engine. Replace the motorcycle with a military hummer or a chimeran vehicle. I think it could work very well.

The problem with continuing Resistance as a linear FPS game is that the market doesn't respond to those games anymore. I think the games industry is tired of 8 hour (linear-shooter) campaigns. That was acceptable in the PS3/360 days but now I think the industry wants more. IF a new Resistance game were to come out and it followed the gameplay structure of the original trilogy, it would be regarded as "just another FPS." But if it got the Days Gone treatment, it can attract a larger fanbase.

Rhythmattic859d ago (Edited 859d ago )

Porkchop
Maybe they're not considering the halo effect ?
Mwhahahahahaha

Mr_cheese858d ago

I'd try any new resistance experience but if I'm being truly honest, my first instinct is that it would not touch the heights of the original trilogy and should continue to be a story driven linear campaign. Especially with the technology afforded in this gen, even linear can have a very open feel to it.

sparky77859d ago

That 9ml was an estimate, he confirmed he doesn't have executive level sales figures so he just guessed. I would assume it was much lower than that with the majority coming from PS+ and discounts.

If Sony brought Housemarquee after Returnal didn't sell 9ml, it's obvious sales aren't all Sony cares about.

jukins859d ago (Edited 859d ago )

Thats what im thinking. Ntm the game was on sale relatively faster than most sony 1st party games. Released buggy horrible framerate that took months to "fix" and it took about 10chours of slow paced gameplay till you got to a point where you got enough mods tools and guns for it to be enjoyable.

I find it weird that all the sudden ppl are praising the game asking for a sequel just because a former director said it sold x amount. Given the 6 year cycle, bad launch, 50/50 reception and to leads who were supposedly not a good fit leaving/ getting fired shows why sony probably didnt greenlight a sequel

EvertonFC859d ago

He didnt guess ffs, he used data from a trophies website with there own internal data which matched up.

Ausbo859d ago

That’s different though. The ps5 was in its infancy when returnal released. Different sales targets

MrBeatdown859d ago

If they were pitching some kind of third person, open world Resistance with destructible environments similar to Red Faction Guerrilla where you can take down Chimera towers and giant robots, sure. But I don't want Far Cry with aliens, which is all I see this being.

I'm fine without another Days Gone too. I have yet to play much of it, but it seems like a great game with a tired setting. I'm not dying for more zombies.

I'll take Syphon Filter in any form though.

arkard858d ago

It was revealed the director didn't use officisl sales figures.

https://www.gameinformer.co...

porkChop858d ago

Yeah I saw. You can't base sales on trophies. Those trophies include anyone who bought the game used, borrowed from friends, households with more than 1 gamer, rentals, PS+ subscribers, review copies, etc. Those altogether would account for likely at least a couple million PSN accounts.

What I find ridiculous is that he says he still "stands by" his numbers. If the game was as successful as he thinks it was then Sony wouldn't have shot down any chance of a sequel. He shouldn't have gone around talking shit like he did with a source as flimsy as trophies, he made a fool of himself. He likely burned some bridges, limiting his options in the future.

porkChop860d ago

As far as Syphon Filter goes, it's a shame that after two generations of leaks and rumors the game was never actually in development. MGS is dead, Splinter Cell might as well be dead from what we've heard. Sony's had a massive opportunity to come in and take over a dormant genre, and they're just dragging their feet. So many opportunities to bring franchises back and they just don't.

Magog859d ago

They already did. TLOU2 is the best stealth game I've ever played.

GhostofHorizon859d ago

Rumors from multiple sources have it that an open world 3rd person tactical stealth game is in works as a first party Playstation game. Perhaps they just didn't want to double down.

CaptainHenry916859d ago

I saw that but who's the developer?

GhostofHorizon859d ago

I don't think it mentioned a developer.

Exvalos859d ago

Splinter cell is coming back, it was confirmed already.

porkChop859d ago

Yes. I know that. I didn't say it is dead, I said it might as well be. They're literally making a "stealthy Assassin's Creed" but with Splinter Cell paint.

Relientk77859d ago

*Sigh* I don't know if Syphon Filter is ever coming back

KeyAppearance859d ago

I really wish we got more grounded action-crime or action-espionage games, not everything has to be over the top action RPGs and have sci-fi/superhero/fantasy elements.

Especially after seeing that jawdropping Matrix showcase... we can really rival some great action films if done right :O

Phantom68859d ago

Shame about Siphon Filter as I believe there is a market for it.
Also, there are some rumors that Sony is working on a new game that mix both Splinter Cell and MGS features.
Let's hope it is true.
