PlayStation News in One Place

3xG says: "This week saw the launch of a brand new site that allows PlayStation owners to catch up with all the news about their beloved platform in one place, and keep on top of breaking news as it happens. Pretty fitting given the recent 15 year anniversary, more information after the jump."

Godmars2904992d ago

Just need to find out if it plays on the PS3's browser...

Apolloeye4992d ago

"So if your a PlayStation fan and want to keep up with the breaking news check out N4PS, and by the way, yes it does fully function on the PS3 browser."

Godmars2904992d ago

I'll believe it after I visit the site on my PS3

:p

TheLastGuardian4992d ago

Yea a news site dedicated to only playstation sounds nice but I'm too used to N4G. The site navigation and community is way better. Maybe I'll wait til N4PS gets alot bigger.

KingZFlipper4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

Yea you're right. Probably better service on N4G. not saying that it would be bad, but N4G is a much bigger thing so...

xTruthx4992d ago

tried it and it works, needs improvement tho. Im sure in time it will get better

SexyPrawns4992d ago

Cool.

Can we get an app though?

Sev4992d ago

I'm working on an app for PlayStation LifeStyle right now. It's not all PS news sites in one place. But it IS the best one :)

SexyPrawns4992d ago

Thanks, Sev. :) Can't wait!

LeShin4992d ago

I might have finally found a way to get some PS3 news without dealing with fanboy comments or bloody spoilers! (I'll never forgive the pratt on here who ruined Heavy Rain's twist for me!)

I'll give this a two week test run

zootang4992d ago

Happened to me too. It ruined my heavy rain experience. I loved the game but I knew what was coming :(

ChronoJoe4992d ago

I think it's funny that the Official playstation websites are the worst to try and run in the PS browser.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

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

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.

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

Rynxie10h ago

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

ApocalypseShadow9h ago(Edited 9h 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.

RNTody22h ago(Edited 22h 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?

Inverno21h 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.

Inverno19h 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.

fsfsxii6h 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.

Inverno4h 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?
