Cosmetic improvements and "What's new" is fine, but no BC? Do they really need to keep milking the PS2?

Finally we get some different avatars. :lol: Heh, just needed to get that out. No matter though, I still want to see cross game chat/party chat - and BC while I am at it.Racer_XLR

Your not the only one. It was one of the moments I said FINALLY to. I dont want the prototype guy as my avatar. Cole from infamous better a dam avatar.

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]- Nice. The What's New feature is perfect and allows for more connectivity and advertisement for Sony. Similar to NXE. - Before, I thought the NXE looked better (it being a 3D XBM). But with these custom themes, I'll have to give the edge to XMB now. - And guys, don't complain about voice chat. We aren't paying anything. They said they're working on it so relax.jonnyt61

"PS Home Community Manager CydoniaX has revealed that several features are in development that a lot of PS3 owners have been clamoring for, particularly cross-game chat and voice messaging.

The reveal was given in a discussion thread in the PlayStation blog where one user gave the following comment:

When are we getting game launching abilities for every multiplayer game in the PS3 library? Why is it that the most basic of features for both the XMB and HOME get prioritized and delivered before all the extra stuff?

1) XMB - Voice Chat across games

2) XMB - Voice messaging(30 sec clip)

3) HOME - Game Launching for all games

CydoniaX replied:

All that stuff is still in development, game launching started with Warhawk and should be supported by all future game spaces now. It takes time, but we haven't forgotten about all the stuff that our users really want!"

I think everyone needs to be patient :). There was also a report of Sony having voice chat up and running (with 6 people at a time). It's easier said than done.

I don't see why people were getting their hopes up for BC. By my knowledge full software emulation of PS2 titles isn't possible. There was never any indication the new PS3 would have BC.

Thank you. I posted on that thread andusually go at there so eventually you can see me there with the 8700+ post :P

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]

[QUOTE="jonnyt61"] Have they actually stated they're working on it? I've not read anything about that. I'm not saying they haven't, but I'd like to see it, just so I can be assured they're actually giving the time of day to easily the most requested feature.AdoringFan_

I like how you can highlight the PSN store and the latest selection pops up on the XMB but I think they can easily add advertisements on there too.

Love it...sure all the improvements seem minimal but in the end it makes the XMB that much more efficient. Plus that LBP theme looked freakin sweet.

Using n4g as any source, or even a portal to a source, and for that source to be trusted, or worthwhile, is much like believeing it will feel good when you crash into a brick wall going 60 miles per hour....

(i post this same thing any time any one links to n4g.com it has no bearing upon the source, simply that a site like n4g.com needs to die, and die quick it is actually worse then system wars is, every thing on it is under one of 2 reasons to either be a troll and fanboyish or get money cause your in the top 10 there are no other motivations.)
