70% of SOE revenue comes from PS3; Planetside 2 to make console jump?

December 19th, 2012, 23:46 Posted By: wraggster

Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has said that 70 per cent of the company’s revenues come from PS3.
“We have two operating free-to-play games on PS3 right now – DC Universe and Free Realms. So we’re uniquely placed having helped to build the PlayStation Network in the first place,” he told OPM.
“PSN has the ability right now to handle free-to-play games, and it does so very well”.
“For me my computer is in my office at home, and my TV is in my living room. Consoles are a different type of gaming for me, and I play different games on different devices – but I think the free-to-play model works awesomely on consoles and I think you’re going to see more of it as time goes on.
“It’s going to be much more prevalent on consoles”.
The most obvious candidate for PS3? Arguably that’s Planetside 2, which now has over 1.6m registered players and over 250,000 daily users according to Polygon.
It also revealed that daily revenue for DC Universe Online soared by an amazing 700 per cent once the game made the switch to free-to-play.
“There's a great quote from The Matrix: 'That's the sound of inevitability’," Smedley added. "At some point, when there's a business model that just works, it's hard to fight it.
"Free-to-play is just too good of an idea. The idea is just so simple. It democratizes and capitalizes, makes true capitalism out of the MMO gaming space.”

Black Ops 2 dev pleads: 'Go easy on Christmas Noobs'

December 18th, 2012, 15:47 Posted By: wraggster

It's almost Christmas and, like the last few years, many will be receiving the latest Call of Duty in their presents haul.
In its latest Message of the Day (posted on Reddit), Black Ops 2 developer Treyarch has addressed the incoming flux of "Christmas noobs", asking its online community of shooter savants to consider going easy on newbies, and advising green players to spend some time in boot camp before swimming with the sharks.
"Let's talk Christmas Noobs. It's that time of the year again where thousands of new players join the online ranks for the first time. We'd ask you to go easy on the Christmas Noobs, but we know you won't," reads the message.
"If you are a Christmas Noob yourself, don't be bullied. In the Combat Training category you'll find a great playlist called Boot Camp. This is the best place for a player to get up to speed on the game and all it has to offer."

The 15 game-changing features of the PS4

December 14th, 2012, 00:41 Posted By: wraggster

They say this is the last console, and I am certainly a believer in that", says Nvidia's head of cloud gaming, Phil Eisler.
Over the last five years, the console market has changed dramatically: digital downloads, DLC, firmware updates, tablets, mobiles, free-to-play, used games, piracy, sequels, spiralling development costs, the recession... almost everything we know about the way we buy, play and enjoy videogames is changing, or already redundant.
It's against this uncertain backdrop that Sony will place its most high profile bet: PlayStation 4. Only this year, the firm posted a record loss of £3.6bn and - with PS Vita floundering only nine months into its life - the stakes are high.
Ahead of its final issue, PSM3 has assembled every rumour, whisper, market trend and leak related to Sony's super console. Oh, and before you ask, it's currently codenamed 'Orbis' - and yes, we checked. We've run everything through our global network of tech experts, analysts and industry insiders to bring you the most accurate picture of PlayStation 4 anywhere in the world.
Its specifications are being finalised as we speak but, right now, this is the most accurate picture of 'the last console ever' you can read anywhere in the world. Better yet, the future of gaming is closer - and brighter - than you'd think...

"Late 2014 to mid-2015. I honestly can't tell you an exact because full development on the game started a month or two ago,” Gamble said.
Last month, Mass Effect executive producer Casey Hudson confirmed Bioware had begun working on “a completely new Mass Effect game.”
Bioware also revealed last month that the title would be developed by BioWare Montreal, instead of Edmonton, and is to run on the same Frostbite engine Dragon Age III: Inquistion will utilize.

God of War: Ascension beta starts today, opens to PS Plus subs in January

December 13th, 2012, 00:10 Posted By: wraggster

Sony has confirmed that PlayStation Plus subscribers will get access to the God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta in January.
The action will kick off for US PS Plus subs on January 8, which EU subscribers have to wait just a day longer.It may come as a surprise that the beta actually starts today if you were one of the participants of Sony's 'Rise of the Warrior' experience, and belonged to the winning Spartan team for the first team challenge.
"We are kicking off the Beta with our signature Team Favor of the Gods mode and the yet-to-be-seen Favor of the Gods mode, which plays like Team Favor of the Gods, but without the teams," explains Sony. "In both modes, you'll fight to reach the requisite number of favor points from the Gods, earning points via kills, bonus brutal kills, opening chests, capturing domination points, and, if you're skillful enough, performing executions using the Spear of Olympus."
It also confirmed that the beta will feature the previously revealed Desert of Lost Souls map, as well as a new 'Forum of Hercules' map.
"The Beta will also provide you with the chance to play through our tutorial level, which is an epic experience in and of itself. You'll be able to test your might with both Zeus and Ares allegiances, and experience a taste of the player customization options and upgrades that will be in the final game," Sony added.
