PlayStation Suite open to all developers from April, full SDK coming 'later'

It's been many months since we first heard about this PlayStation SDK, which entered closed beta for a chosen few back in November. Now we're told the open beta will arrive in April, allowing any interested developer to create content for the PS Suite, which will ultimately be accessible to all PlayStation-certified Android smartphones and tablets as well as the PS Vita.

$99.00 a year to make official homebrew for the PSVita, not bad an there's profit shareing for the developers. sounds good to me.

The economic and bureaucratic things behind making a lucrative PSS app is still quite vague.

$99 USD a year really is not much (considering iOS has the same price for its license). The question is, what other costs are involved in submitting and getting an app approved for the PSS? What are the fees for setting up PSN network connected software for stuff like DLC and patches? What other devices will have "Playstation Certification"? etc.

Still quite nice to have the open beta accompany PS VITA debug testing. A developer who shares his/her code could basically allow anyone with a VITA to just test their game out (in a very homebrew fashion). Nice.

Wolfbiker4450d ago

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5088d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905088d ago (Edited 5088d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5088d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5088d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495088d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5088d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5088d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
