Forums - Sony Discussion - New global approval process for PSN games

Global approval process in the works for PSN

Hate the long delays between game releases in America, Europe and Japan? Well, that may be over, according to a report by GameDaily. A change in the game approval process means developers can submit to just one territory, and gain approval in all. "Previously games had to be submitted separately through Sony Europe, Japan, and America. Now, the game idea is sent through a single website for approval."

Sony is hoping this will encourage even more developers to release their games on PlayStation Network. They'll continue to tout the benefits of the PSN: it's free, doesn't require a publishing partner, and can be distributed around the world simultaneously. Will developers be able to refuse this kind of offer?

Yay!

Maybe all the good PS1 games JP has will migrate to the Americas.

I hope the PSOne Classics already released in Japan get this treatment.

If the old games migrate, Sony should advertise this. Surely SOME people would seize the opportunity to switch to a PS3 if this were possible? And it adds to their library substantially

Brilliant.
Does this apply to the video store as well?

If so, I can get Rearmed, various HD movies and a whole bunch of demos and PSOne classics at fast speeds!

Next step: Translate that MGS1 game on the Japanese PS Store into English. I need to play it. And I don't think many stores sell it now.

Hopefully this wil be retroactive, so this doesn't just apply to the new games.
