ERIC LEMPEL
Things that matter most:
Universal Game Invites
Voice Messaging
Private Chat in-game
Allow two or more users to sign on PSN the same time and let them both get trophies
Add Optional sound to notifications so when you are focused on the middle of the screen you know you got a new message or someone came online
symbols and numbers that represent friends online and messages sent somewhere on the XMB and beside message box
Auto Sync Trophies
More options on profiles
Report feature to report users, cheaters etc.
Faster loading XMB and profiles
More developed profiles
When you recieve a message you should be able to push the PSN button for it to automatically pop up as long as the notification is still there.
Friend Request should go on the top of the friends list instead of the bottom
Less:
View your friends’s friends
More Avatars
More details on what your friends are doing
XMB for PS2 games and movies
group friends like how u can group instant messaging friends( to oraganize people you met from certain games, online, school, etc.)
Join friend’s game button
More Color, everything is black and gray
Can’t wait til weds. for the GDC meet up. Can I get a pass to the GDC as well please? :-)
The moderators are sensitive, aren’t they? :(
I tried posting a link to my Photobucket where I had a picture of a railgun I was on in 3ds max last night (in the entry about the R&C blaster contest), and after having it say, “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” for the last 15 hours, it was deleted…
I don’t think you were supposed to post it there. I think they were just preventing you from losing your idea.
i would like to know if there’s going to be an announcement about new firmware features and /or new rpgs for the ps3.also,jeff i’m currently typing from my ps3 and the question that i would like to ask is why i have to double sign up to this blog if am already signed in from my ps3?
Shoot, this was a great week on the blog! Pretty much multiple posts per day. Keep it up!
Chris or Jeff,
Any idea what happened to that inFamous article that was supposed to be on IGN yesterday?
Hmm, not sure. I know IGN was supposed to post yesterday, but it might have been pushed. We\’ll let you know when we hear.
