Sony: PS2 Online = PS3 Online
Harrison on PS3 Online
As we suspected months ago in our interview with Epic’s Mark Rein, it looks like Sony will in fact go with an open architecture for its online model. What does that mean, exactly? Basically, the way that the PlayStation 2’s online model operates will be applied to the PlayStation 3. While Harrison admitted that the Xbox Live online gaming service is one of the things that Microsoft has done well, he said that Sony’s plan is to let publishers establish their own means for getting consumers online and to let the publishers interact with consumers directly instead of using Sony as some kind of buffer for the online experience. http://www.keepmedia.com/pubs/Playst...52?extID=10026 Sorry didn't see a thread on this earlier. |

works for me. I dont want to pay to play online. It's one of the reasons I almost always buy the PC version.

XBL is just another way of scamming users out of their money. There's nothing XBL does that other games don't offer for free. If MS had done some actual WORK, such as hosting games on their own servers etc, then that might have been something one might pay for, but I still wouldn't want to fork out for game hosting of a game I might not even own, or isn't interested in playing online.
The whole XBL concept is dubious IMO, but I've said all this before and shan't be repeating myself.

multiplayer online is the only way I want to play anymore.
I am rarely ever interested in single player campaigns now that I have had a taste of a solid, easy to use, multiplayer console system gaming. |

Agreed, Multiplayer online player has really tanted my tastes for gameplay. I mean, whne the AI compared to the game to compared to Real live people who I can flame, insult, or make a mockery of as I'm shooting their body and dancing around it (Ok, I'm talking about Socom 3), is soo addictive.... Although, I Purchased Grandia II and I'm falling in love with it  -Josh378

This is a report based on the GDCE comments - which you can read for yourself in the thread already linked to, rather than OPM's paraphrasing (which is slightly misleading imo). There's nothing new here, or nothing you can't read in more precise "in context" form elsewhere. Also, misleading thread title.

So Sony have adopted the PROVEN pc method of on-line play??? Giving developers there own choice meens the dev's are not restricted to do what they want and that meens more dev's will give more support due to the freedom.

Live does actually provide one good feature, that you are connected to people even though they are playing a differnet game, so they are providing something that other games don't, unless you are playing a EA Sports game. It's nice that i can get an invite from my friends while playing something totally different. Other than that though, it is overrated big time. 5 bucks a month for an Instant Messenger service. |

I have to disagree with the people that don't like xbox live, it's a great service once you start playing on it, and it's the price of a game for a year subscription it's not like it's $50 a month
I would like a service like live for free, but thats not going to happen so I don't mind paying a once a year fee online pc gaming is not much different from live since you have features of live through 3rd partys with things like teamspeak and xfire |
