Harrison talks PlayStation Home & Madden 08

Posted on August 2nd, 2007 at 15:49 EDT

Phil Harrison, executive vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, this week reiterated the company’s plans to issue the forthcoming Home service this fall, and also briefly addressed criticisms related to the frame rate on the PlayStation 3 version of Madden 08.

Speaking to 1UP, Harrison revealed that Home development kits were distributed among developers on July 10th and remained confident the service would keep to its intended launch date this September. Additionally, he also said that it was conceivable new content would be added to the service over time:

"There will be features that get added over time, it's not going to be everything that we've ever talked about at the beginning of the service. I'm being very clear we never intended for that to be the case, either, but we have a clear road map of where and how and when we're going to be adding functions and features”, said Harrison.

Elsewhere, he stressed that the reason Madden 08 would only be playable at 30fps was not due to hardware limitations related to PlayStation 3, ostensibly pointing the blame to developer Electronic Arts:

“It would concern me if the platform was incapable of doing it, but we've proven the platform is capable of doing it, so it's not a PlayStation 3 issue. I'm trying to be polite," he noted.

Stay tuned for more coverage on both Home and Madden 08 at PSU in the near future.

In the meantime EA is complaining cuz they are not selling and blaming the PS3... I guess this was the polite way of telling them to get their act together and start doing a good job if they want to sell

EA can lick my balls and kiss my 70$ goodbye. I rented ncaa 08 and noticed a huge difference from the 360 version. Im NOT GOING to buy madden 08 for the ps3 or 360. This is my only way of showing utter disgust for EA. If anyone knows any petitions or whatnot please let me know.

Phil said it before, I forget when, it was sometime last yr, when some developers were crying, that the PS3 was a pain in the rear to develop for. Phil came out and said that it was a developer issue, not PS3. Sony is developing games for the console, just fine, as you can see. This interview was originally from EGM editors, DAN "SHOE HSU, and his partner. These two guys are morons, and can't give an interview. They harassed the crap out of him, asking STUPID, and MEANINGLESS questions. I saw the video stream myself. Y do u think, at the end of the interview, he said, "IM TRYING TO BE POLITE!" He was practiclly griding his teeth. I wonder if that retard, Peter More is behind this, I wouldn't be surprised. That guy is a COMPLETE MORON!!

you know ea capcom ubisoft and rockstar have all screwed over sony and more importantly us and they're all paying for it ea posted losses because of their crappy software ubisoft has released one too many crappy ports capcom ported our only exclusive from them to 360 and not porting the 360's to ps3 and rockstar is porting gta but look rockstar is having troubles with gta and are now showing some respect with a new exclusive franchise and ubi is improving the quality of their games but the rest better stup up quick because i dont think they remember how big the sony fanbase is and we wont stand for this treatment they are losing sales because of it we arent buying stuff from people who forgot about all of the consumers that have a sony console and they are hurting because of it i would say this if it was happening to any console because this behavior is bad for the industry this is a message for devs we the consumer are the blood of the video game industry we decide whether your company lives or dies show some respect to the people that put food on your table and show some respect

EA are lazy, money grabbing, corporate a££ holes. A shoddy game factory that churn out more sequals than die hard. I wouldnt surprise me that soon they will start bringing out new games and the only thing thats different is the cover design and instead of 07 it will be 08.

The SOny gaming community is the largest in the world so recognise!!!!!

EA is beginning to screw the development of several otherwise great titles. Like i bought the PC version of C&C 3, and then my speakers couldn't play any sounds except for the ambient. When i searched the net for a way to fix this i noticed that EA had made huge bugs for the game, i didn't quite get it, but it was something that Vista (or a pro Vista, something) couldn't support the game since EA was too lazy to make that.If they just stop making 100 titles at once and start doing like companies like Blizzard and Insomniac, (max 2 games in development at time, but they all end up getting most sales at all times, like WoW: Most selling PC game and Resistance: FoM: Most selling PS3 game.) Sorry for the long post which content i couldn't follow after the first ten words.
