Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.

Dreams never took off mostly because all these game creator games never really seem to work, It's like for something to work in the ideal way you need to turn Programs like Maya, 3ds max, Unity, Unreal, Zbrush into character and object creator systems and you can't then go and dumb that down to the point where it's like a game itself. It's like trying to cram an elephant through a beer funnel. There's too much things that rely on skills like sculpting and coding.
People who did some impressive stuff with Dreams already had experience with computer programs used in game creation.
Seems like it flopped. Never really see anything about it except the one off articles and videos that pop up every 4 months or so.
Is that still available to buy on the PS3 PSN? Because I know it never got a physical release in the US.
It's one of those things where you can see why they thought it would be a great idea, but you can also see why it didn't take off.
little big planet. whole reason dreams even exist.

There's also RPG Maker.
What happened with those rumors that Sony was interested in buying Konami IP's like Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Castlevania?
It'd be nice if they were just freeing up budget for that but I'll rate myself optimistic on that one, plus they'd fuck them up too somehow.

See i vaguely remember the walkthrough for it in Tips and Tricks magazine but like.....whats it about
I liked Patapon a bunch, but I just like Rhythm games generally. It's a real shame they're getting fucked over because they made some of Sonys more off the wall games.
As an aside, if anyone here is hankering for a great rhythm game check out Thumper.
oh boy, playing it in vr while getting blazed was something else...

RIP Gravity Rush
Shoulda seen this coming after the multiplayer servers of 2 were axed a year after release

These guys were also responsible for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, since Team Ico was part of Japan Studio. Team Ico shut down back in 2011, but even so it sucks that the studio that helped create two of the most majestic video games ever made gets closed down. The fact that these games were made at all under Japan Studio is a testament to how important they were since I highly doubt many studios, especially these days, would ever allow such auteur concepts to be released as mainstream video games.
That always struck me as wishful thinking and too good to be true, even though I desperately wanted to believe it.
But I think part of the problem is simply, where's the potential for Woke virtue signaling in those IPs? I think people don't realize that for Sony right now getting people to submit to a political ideology is waaaaaaaaaaay more important you having fun playing a video game, people still don't really realize what is happening and where it's going.
To the "entertainment" industry your "entertainment" is very, very, very, very secondary to your submission to a certain a political ideology.
A small rural village in the middle of nowhere in Japan and something freaky has happened that resulted in the villagers becoming zombie like creatures is the basic setup.
The PS2 era was absolutely video game's peak, the medium was just on fire back then.
Shit, this sucks. I bought one of the original Dual Shocks just for Ape Escape. F for my childhood.
So I guess that means we won't be anything new from Ueda then. I recall seeing plans for a new game not too long after The Last Guardian released.
Fucking shame. He and the people who worked with him had that magic touch that you don't really see much in games in general.
The gaming scene is in a lesser place now.
Don't be so sure, he left Team Ico to form his own company, GenDesign, which itself is made up of former Team Ico alumni. They even announced a new project in 2018.
That's also being funded by Epic Games, which itself was announced March of last year.
I genuinely hope Epic doesn't do anything to fuck with him, but it's hard not to feel concerned given all the shit they've been up to.
No, not Ape Escape!
Gravity Rush 1 was a pretty damn cool game.....never got around to playing 2, which is one of my biggest gaming regrets. Still have to watch the anime, funny enough. RIP Kat.
Yeah, I've only played 2, but it's seriously a shame that it doesn't seem like it's at least getting a trilogy remaster ala Crash and Spyro, because it was legit great. Then I hear that 3 was even better.....definitely emulating it someday.
