Mandatory trophies! Excellent. Thank you Sony.

tirminyl  |  November 23rd, 2008 at 12:00 pm

I certainly welcome more PSONE games as well as more standard features to be enforced.

The year’s almost over and we never heard anything from Team ICO :( I hope we get to hear something soon, I can’t wait to see what they’re creating this time.

I Like HOME :P It’s cool. Thanks SONY.
Any chance of having that Music box thing in the Europe Version of HOME?
(It’s only in the U.S Version?)
+ The Namco Arcade in the Europe Version of HOME?
(Again, that’s in the Japanese Version?)
Can’t wait for the Open beta :P

+ Why was the PSP taken out of HOME for?
Looked cool that did, strange it’s gone now
:-(

Cryptic Porting Champions/Trek Engine to PS3

Wii U.S. install base leads 360 by 2 million and is well over double that of the ps3.

More gameplay of London Studio ps3 exclusive 8 days that was canceled in order to make EyePet. Watch it before Sony does to it what they like to do to great LBP levels, send them to oblivion. Make Eyepet, but please put 8 days back into development and make sure it has multiplayer.

Sony fined $18.5 million in patent infringement case. Looks like hopes for a ps3 price drop have vanished.

It’s great to finally have mandatory trophies. Gonna be fun to watch the trophy haters seethe in agony.

FeaturePreacher  |  November 23rd, 2008 at 12:37 pm

Since trophies can be made mandatory, it begs the question of why can’t in-game access to music and in-game screenshots be made mandatory. There are 2 ways to do this.

1. Force developers to put them in games on the ps3 and psn after a certain date as will be done with trophies.

2. Address memory issues in the in-game xmb so enough space is left to make these 2 features system wide.

Jeff, Do you or anyone that works on the blog know anything about a fix for the 80022D11 error people have been having? It messes up save files and trophies. Here are some links to what I’m talking about:

Can you give any insight as to when a fix might be coming? My games are unplayable and I don’t want to have to start over again. Thanks.

EvoAnubis  |  November 24th, 2008 at 12:49 am

Yo. Can’t believe it, but you guys FINALLY let me into the Home Beta! And my brother! Right on!

Been having tons of fun with it, I’d love to see those game rooms I had heard so much about (even they were mentioned here on the Blog!)

Those need to come back.

Also, just throwing this out there, it’d be cool if when you’re on the phone with a friend, your avatar in Home showed you holding a phone to your ear. Just a thought.

Makasu  |  November 24th, 2008 at 2:24 am

What i read UNCHARTED 2 and GOD OF WAR 3 are out there and everyone is eager to see these franchises! How about trying to get a screenshot or two from either of these? This is Sony Computer Entertainment’s Santa Monica’s first game if im not mistaken on the ps3 and im really dying to see what they have come up with…

bigdaddyjane  |  November 24th, 2008 at 4:03 am

Uncharted 2!I want a much longer single player game.

GOD OF WAR 3!I’ve never played GOD before so it really doesn’t matter.

xX-Ghettonerd-Xx  |  November 24th, 2008 at 4:54 am

Yes! Can’t wait till black friday hopefully i’ll be in the race-2-buy and get an 80 gig ps3, LBP, & all 3 Pirates of the Carribean on blu-ray, For only 200 dolla!!

Nice to see FeaturePreacher is here hating on Sony like usual. Some of us come here exclusively to get away from the Sony hating going on outside the blog. Thanks for doing your best to show up daily and remind us all of it.

Stoked about the God of War 3 footage rumors…the cats out of the bag, so lets see some video!

Great job, Sony rules, keep hitting us with new stuff!

stennex  |  November 24th, 2008 at 2:19 pm

I think that Sony should just like M$ NXE, make Home our alternative interface to log into when we boot up our PS3s. This to me would make Home feel like a more central component of the system and not just a go to room. Making Home our main login interface would be really cool. They have already allowed us to access the XMB from it which was not possible in the build before Home 1.0. So in other words the XMB could operate like a taskbar.

See you in the clubhouse soon.
