Design Your Own PlayStation 3 Games, Sony Says

SHARE:

Adjust text size:



It's not a new concept for Sony to invite gamers to be a part of the production process behind new titles.
Sony has launched a program which urges gamers to come up with scenarios, gameplay material and design schematics for new gaming titles which are to be produced for the PlayStation 3 console.

The program is called Game Yaroze! 2006 (which stands
for "Let's Play Games") and it is already an established Sony tradition, because the first time the original Game Yaroze program appeared was in 1995, with the launch of the original PlayStation. The program was even then a success, as a great deal of the titles were produced with the help of amateur programmers and designers.
Many gamers are willing to give a helping hand and, as a result, in the first five years of the Yaroze campaign, Sony had received over 1.200 gaming ideas.

Both amateurs and professional designers are expected to join this campaign and the winner will be granted free access to a studio and a development team, funding and living expenses included, while managing and directing his own game into production.

The "Let's Play a Game" website will be launched on November 15th and the deadline applicants must meet will be February 2006.

Do something that nintendo does. make a new character like mario but better and make him do levels but not like crash bandicoot. like there should be games like lucas does sports when he has to do start wiith a easier sport to sports like football and rugby and in each sport they play a boss who cheats his way to victory. you can do other games like lucas in war. he helps a team he chooses like germany or england. so i think you should give this a huge thought.

Dear playstation editors,
I have a brilliant idea for a new video game which is different , i noticed in most video games the location is in the USA or other countries my opinion is to make an exclusive game which can be sold only in the UAE that has arabian characters and an arabic enviornment which has local people walking aroud just like Grand theft vice city but this time its grand theft Dubai

I always thought the best games were the ones that were based on the story lines. Metal Gear Solid is one of the best examples i can think of.

sony please make a game where an alien ship crashes into Mexico, and mexico reverse engineers the technolgy, and they get things like lazer guns, and they invade every country except US and Canada. then eventually they invade Canada and you are a Canadian Resistance fighter against the "Greater Mexican Communist Army".

Dear all>
Hey, if you have not noticed all ready MMORPG's are a huge hit for the computer. my opinion is that you should make one like them. you could have multiple races to chose from then also classes to. Some ideas are that you could have new armor ad on packs and in game weapons/armor to collect and spells etc. Each class could have different abilities like pets or elements. At the start i also think you should be able to make your own character. PLEASE email me back for my ideas, because i have worked long and hard on races and spells and lots of other stuff you could make a dream... Into a HUGE hit....

just laying it out there:

Everyone wants a game that IS role playing,BUT at the same time can do so with there own accsesories.and lets not forget the whole reason we buy the game-because of.....(online)=we want to be the best. we want a game were we can earn Trophies, customize our character to suite us-the more the better.so i dont have a game that i wana make but hopefully sum 1 Makes 1 that im in to..,.... think games such as:

Latest::Call of duty modern warfare 2,Final Fantasy XIII,saints row2,grand theft auto 4 etc...

Classics::Final Fantasy X,san andreas,need for speed Most wanted,lord of the rings,hehe Warriors etc..

have a final fantasy game that you can have most main characters from the franchise. For example, from final fantasy 8 it could have Squall, Seifer, Zell. basically I'm trying to say, have all the characters from every final fantasy. i know its possible, dragonball z games did it. also if the fighting system was very complex and had a every characters signature moves would be great signature moves. I'm sure that all final fantasy fans would love it.
