Community Call to Action re: JVM on PS3

It’s about “what do you need to do to get Sony to listen to you”.

Sony is a strange and wonderful unique butterfly of a company. They do not think like you or I do.

An example item is this: gameplay on a PS3 controller is very different to gameplay off it (an example you brought up: I HATE everyday shooter - the nerfed controller input is terrible gamedesign - 8 way on an analog stick). A lot of people want to see + play something on a PS3 controller to see what it feels like. Shrug.

Any status updates? How is the proposal coming along?

I’ve got some good feedback from Three Rings (Puzzle Pirates et al), Joshua Slack (JME), Christoph Aschwanden of Noble Master Games (Aevum Obscurum) and some comments I can use from a couple of other developers of note. I was really hoping to get some comments from Cas because I think that Puppy Games are probably the most obvious fit for a PS3 JVM, but I seem to be having trouble contacting him. I could put a decent document together now, but I’d really like Cas’s input first.

Cheers,

Peter.

Seconded!

Cas | Puppy Games would be great to have on PS3!

Sorry! Am away in Durham, can’t read me email.

Basically we’d be all over an opportunity like a rash. We just want that JVM. And, er, a PS3 dev kit obviously :slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

Status update: I have enough feedback now - not from everyone I contacted, but certainly enough to highlight the community.

I’m going to start writing up now. Hopefully the recent news about Sony relaxing PS2 certification bodes well for a change of view regarding the 3rd party marketplace?
