anyone know which 100 friends show on the ps3? I have 200+ on ps4 so when I login my ps3 it doesnt show certain friends. anyone to customize who shows up?

I'm assuming they put the people who have ps3s on your ps3 list as a top priority. If all your friends have both idk.

On the Sony layoffs...

[quote name="famousmortimer"]

Connecting dots where they don't need to be connected.



Stig and his team spent almost 100 million dollars on a game that failed every QA test that took. The game sucked. They ****canned the game and a lot of the people involved. They offered stig a spot on barlog's project - he didn't want to go from game director to something lesser so he quit.

This makes sense, right? ****** game, money wasted, people fired, head guy leaves out of ego? I mean that all makes sense.


Amy Hennig has creative differences about the direction that UC4 should go in. Egos swell, she leaves. She's happy, she will make another studio much better when she gets there. Justin Richmond, an ally of Hennig's, gets an offer he can't refuse from Riot. He leaves.

These things happen. Naughty Dog is going to be fine. UC4 will still be awesome. Riot will be better with the pickup of Richmond and whoever gets Hennig will be better off. The sky isn't falling.


Guerilla Cambridge is working on a vita game that is **** and won't sell. They slim down as they retool for another project.

Again - this isn't new. This happens a lot.


The director of Driveclub doesn't deliver the game on time. Given more time the game still needs work. He is replaced.



Wouldn't you replace him? Wouldn't you ****can stig's project that cost them almost 100 mil and had nothing of value to show for it? In fact they should have done it two years ago. The fact they let it go this far is a testament to how much they believed in him after GoW 3.


And all of this is happening before the fiscal year ends. Is sony trimming fat? Of course. Sony corporation is not in a great spot. So they are tightening up a bit. But a lot of people are connecting dots that don't need to be connected. Hennig/Richmond is about creative differences and ego. Stig is about wasted money and time. Col Rogers (driveclub) is about failing to deliver. Taken on their own they all make sense. Combine them together and you get glenn beck with a chalkboard.


And Jack Tretton was about money and inability to move up. He will make more money and have more power somewhere else - something Sony simply could not offer him. **** happens.


It's the same with the xbox department guys. People move around. People leave for other companies. **** happens

FM FTW.

It all makes sense.

no way im believing this stuff about stigs project

no sony project has come anywhere near 100 mil, not even gt5 which is probably theyre most expensive game (5 years and about 70 mil)

Given the fact the game was rebooted a handful of times, plus the scale of the game was on a Destiny like level, it was a Destiny clone rumors say. Activision has already said it will be the biggest new IP launch in gaming history.

Bungie talks Destiny development cost

I would not be surprised if Bungie has somewhere between 50 - 100 million dollars on this project, so Stig's project couldn't be too far off that pace.

 

[iheartboost]

Nevermind, I guess the Destiny clone was just a rumor, Stig's project was more like Deadspace...

I heard various numbers between 75mil and 90 mil for stig's game. I said "almost 100" because, well, both are almost 100 mil. They restarted the game, from scratch, THREE TIMES! And it sucked every time. The whole "it was too much like destiny" thing is ********. It was more horror-ish and like Dead Space than Destiny. That whole thing was sony jumping on the grenade to help stig save face. And help themselves save face as they wasted a ******* TON of money.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

We need a next-gen Dead Space.

 

[thehealthinspector]

it may have been rebooted several times but we don't know how far along it reached in development

i'm sure a majority of staff was probably still working on ascension while this project was developing

it'd only be around destiny's price if they got as far as destiny and had as many people developing it which i doubt

wikipedia claims bungie is around 350 and even if they were just 150-200 when destiny started - all of them were focused on destiny unlike SSM

 

[NCtwin]

Finally there's some other PSNow folks!!

Just like how most Americans are bored once a puck gets dropped

I hope some kids hit a baseball through your window after that comment

 

[Bad Religion]

Hey man, new house. I should have a grace period or something...

Still hate the Bevelle Cloister. Always takes me forever to get the timing.

 

[bigj505]

feels like the story is lacking in Infamous vs how part 1 and part 2 had it laid out

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

a, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Batman! Yes, that is the sound of Batman: Arkham City coming to PlayStation Plus in April for PlayStation 3 owners. Arkham City garnered praise from gamers and critics alike, as evidenced by its cumulative 96/100 score on Metacritic. With the recent announcement of Batman Arkham Knight, this is a great way to catch up on Batman’s adventures.

PlayStation 4 owners can join up with friends and take down an evil corporation in a new 2D action game, Mercenary Kings. As you explore the island CLAW (that’s the evil corporation) has taken over, you’ll discover weapon parts that you can take back to your base and use to fashion together some new spiffy gear.

There are two other PS3 games this month: Stealth Inc. A Clone In the Dark and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Stealth Inc. is, as you can probably guess, a game where you should stick to the shadows. The only way to make it out of the lab alive is via some sneaky platforming, so proceed with caution. Castle of Illusion is a proper remake of the Sega Genesis version, not just an HD upgrade. There are new levels to navigate but the goal is the same — save your #1 mouse (that’s Minnie) from the evil witch.

While Vita owners can also enjoy Stealth Inc. (the benefits of Cross-Buy!) this month, they’ll also get Velocity Ultra, an arcade-y space shooter where you’ll teleport around and save other ships, and Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD, a classic tower-defense style game where you’ll need to save baby Tiki-people.

The PsMINUS instant games collection alone makes PSN >>>>> Live imo. Can't wait until they're able to start putting retail PS4 games in the collection.

ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER PS+ GAME THAT I ALREADY BOUGHT ON THE 360.

DAMN IT!

It's going to be months before ps+ starts becoming a deal to me.

Damn you black friday sales.

Glad to hear that Arkham City will be free, never got around to playing it and had plans to buy before copping Arkham Knight. Sony  just saved me about $10-$15.
