Set Course for Booty this August

I have a small suggestion that may help not only to benefit the PS3 gaming community but also the developers of the great games that are currently available and in development. I see no better place for this currently than in a post from INSOMNIA who time and time again have shown their drive and company wide standard to create games that constantly push the edge of everything out there and usually jump right off of it!

OK so here goes…
I am suggesting that SONY create a Standards based system similar to that used on the internet and in digital technology. However, this standards system would detail the format and features expected in a PS3 game in order for it to bare PS3 logo on its packaging.
Example: XML, HTTP, RSS, HDMI, WiFi 802.11 b,g,n(“n” being a draft and not finalized)
Using this example you can compare it to the Home beta. Another example, say that the Home beta is a standard that will be on PS3’s(at some point) right now since it’s not finished it would be labeled to customers/consumers, and the community as a DRAFT. I know that it is already a beta, but i am only using home as an example what I am suggesting is that when features and services that SONY or other developers release on PS3 are not finished yet but still released we are told this with a simple standard approach that we can all recognize. I am sure that I don’t have to remind you that only a very small % of the customer base will ever read a blog post in this blog or even an RSS feed of a post regarding system and software features.
The best way that this could be implemented is in the use of in-game XMB and FW 2.42+ features in any new titles that are released on the platform.

Create a standard system that will require software titles and devs in general to better inform the user. Example in-Game Soundtrack Support.(iGSS)

Another feature is MUTE in Multiplayer Games through in-game GUI (MiMMG) games or Trophy Supported Rewards (TSR)
or
Importing and Exporting of photos and other elements using the PS3 EYE camera
(I/O-EYE)

I am just writing this off of the top of my head so if the acronyms don’t look great then think of better ones but a standard based system eg: the ESRB rating system that is more widely used for PS3 and Blu-Ray format titles would be enormously beneficial to the end user, and would help SONY express to other game devs what would be expected from a PS3 consumer when they are purchasing their game and also what’s expected as a PS3 1st or 3rd party dev. This way when they are in development they can include it without a problem whether it’s in a ‘Draft’ format or not.
At least they would be able to implement it completely at some point and allow for the gamer to know that it’s being worked on simply by reading about the game from it very own packaging.
This would be groundbreaking achievement for this company(Sony) and I feel that if any 1st party dev can give this idea legs it’s INSOMNIAC Games.

thanks for reading have a great day Insomniac.
awesome as always!
