- New feature to the Playstation brand
- Delivers computer gaming in a small, cheap, efficient manner
- Similar to platforms like Yahoo!Games or Steam
The idea is simple. The gaming industry in the last few years began to see the viability of two major trends: Game download platforms and time-waster games.
Create a platform, and distribute the best of the best, all the while promoting the playstation brand by creating smaller versions of ps3 and psp games.
For example, a solitaire game featuring the lovely ladies of God of War, or one of those "escape the room" point and click games featuring Raiden of Solid Snake where the room is some kind of high tech cell or abandoned compound. More a fan of tower defense? How about TwistedMetal's "Calypsos proving ground" in which you create towers that throw powerups into an arena in the eventual goal of everybody killing themselves off!
Anyway, I know that the Nintendo fans would say something like "Sony:always playing catchup", and Sony fans might be just horrified with the idea of their favorite characters being whored out to casual gaming, but it's a highly developed, tried and tested feature that would help Sony both move into the digital age, reinforce PSPGo! sales, and provide a huge source of income.
Let me know what you guys think.
