    This was a rough week in the PS5 landscape as SIE announced mass layoffs affecting many succesful PlayStation Studios. From Insomniac Games, to Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, and the closure of London Studio, it's been rough to sift through. We're also learning that the working conditions and leadership at Firesprite since they were acquired apparently hasn't been all that great either. At least we have some semi-positive news for Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, FFVII Rebirth, and the PlayStation Portal. Plus the best news of all? LBP Hub resurfaced, AND we got a new PS3 Firmware update in 2024. So ya know, there is some light where there's darkness.

      Just heard this news, whilst it's really pleasing to hear, I hope their deal they are in talks about allows them to continue with what we assume is spyro 4. I've been holding out on it for a loooong time. Crash is decent but spyro is the goat and from the reignited trilogy and the crash games (including team rumble where they made spyro a fully playable 3d platformer character that stayed true to the OG controls), I think they've got the hang of the IPs and want to see what they can do next

      PS3 is considered a software player, so it has a different way of handling keys due to piracy. Same thing with a PC BD player (for all the 43 people who have one of those)
      But Yes, there are discs released that will not ever work on some regular hardware based players. This can be due to either unavailable keys, or if the player is so old it can´t get into the disc menu because of API and UI development of the standard that happened too long after those early players released for actual functionality updated. So in those cases new keys unlocks nothing.
      Up to this point though, PS3 is still the most compatible BD player on the market. And may very well still be that at the point BD as a film format is completely dead.

Sony has a habit of telling studios it owns that it wants new games that will show of any new Tech they intend to bring out, [They did it with Studio Liverpool a LOT ] case in point Firesprite has invested heavily into making VR games, or the VR portion of games......Since the VR2 helmet has basically tanked, I imagine that's the reason for the layoff's, and I wouldn't hold my breath on any SONY owned Studio working on any major VR titles.

    From my decades of experience working retail jobs, whenever new leadership enters an established business, people tend to revolt against the change. That’s my guess as to what’s happening at Firesprite. People do not like change, and when a new manager, with a new management style enters the fray, people turn tribal. I’ve seen it a million times, and have even been a part of it, on both sides. You can never take things like that at face value, and we have no idea what’s really happening at Firesprite.

    It is undoubtedly a complete failure of leadership and management at virtually every sony studio but ESPECIALLY naughty dog. They had one of the biggest games ever, a successful TV series and they still couldn't find a way to keep all their people? It pains me to say it because I almost worked there, I dreamed of working there. Thankfully I was given a very honest and blunt interview before diving headfirst into a total s***storm. This is a sickening debacle and the sooner it all falls apart, making a total reorientation unavoidable, the better.

Sony could just admit they screwed the Vita by not supporting it, learn from their mistakes and develop a competent handheld platform but instead they just pumped out a glorified paperweight. The fact that this is what has become of the legacy of the PSP is criminal.

    The Witch Queen going into essentials is yet another example of extra and premium being treated as unimportant.

Someone said to me "Well when its taken down from the extra tier, you will still have it. And it will be taken down at some point" but that makes no sense seeing as Sony owns Bungie, and the only game they have ever removed to my knowledge from a studio they own was Spider-Man because the remaster was getting a proper release.

      ​@@xikesgaming Ok, maybe I'm just not up to date on third party remoting from PS. But last time I did it there was a process getting system ID keystrings, extrating them as actual hex key, and then manually inserting them into a conf. Maybe that is now automated somehow? Not saying that some 1337 hacking skills are needed for that.. But it is obviously still lightyears away from what the average consumer electronics user would even try after a brief glance at the instructions. Even most computer users would react the same nowadays.
      What I mean is that most are simply completely lost if things don't work after the exe is clicked and the setup is over.
      And even with how simple the Portal is to sync, I still seen plenty failing because they have no clue how settings in their network or even PS5 affect the outcome. "Remote start doesn't work!" Because it was turned off, and they skipped the part of the setup warning about it. This is also true for enthusiast or even so called tech channels on YT.
      So sure, there are no issues recommending the option of SD to actual "avid Linux users". But the problem is, those users are probably the only ones who don't need it recommend as they as such already found out the what and hows. ;)

It's not perfect and I had to follow around with my home network to get it to run well, but it's great when it works.
