I concur about the customized soundtracks.
A lot of games have great soundtracks on 360 and on PS3, but most are just run-of-the-mill low caliber elevator tracks.
I would rather put on a good metal album than listen to the crap music being fed to me during poorer games (e. g. Blazing Angels II, Project Sylpheed, Test Drive Unlimited, even Gears of War).
'nuff said.

why code another program to do it when they can use the XMB in-game to do it?squatingyeti said:

Odd that it is a screen cap NOT in it's native resolution. Also the verbiage seems very unprofessional.n1n9tean said:

i dunno man, i really want both, but i just think it's logical to do in-game XMB firstn1n9tean said:
Sony Japan have stated that custom soundtracks is built into the PS3 SDK. Its up to devs how they want to use it.
For example, take game saves, some games use the XMB setup (Uncharted, DMC4 etc) when you save a game, but when it autosaves it probably uses the same tools, but just in the background.
Another example is SSHD, an XMB setup for custom soundtracks, while MLB prob just puts their own interface over the XMB tools.

Can we stop pointing out this? The reason people want custom soundtracks on a XMB level is because they dont want to rely on devs willingness to add that feature. Unless Sony forces devs to add a custom soundtrack option in their games, they have reasons to complain.
I care more about in-game messaging tho. And audio messages, instead of only txt.
I'm sorry I don't have a stereo or Cd player in the bedroom. However my 360 is there so I'm glad I can play music through it while in a game.
I've used customer soundtracks for playing Forza 2 and for grinding in blue dragon.
Still I don't think it's more important than in game XMB.

Not me...Theres no point in having 50 friends on your list when you can't message a single one when playing a game.
And theres even less point of being messaged by 100 friends on your list and then having to exit the game to read them. Yuck.

Tough for them, then. Because even if custom soundtracks are handled through XMB it will be necessary for devs to code to that feature - because they'll need to mute the in-game music when it's active (and preferably link in-game volume control etc. to the XMB custom soundtrack system).

Yeah, that is the easiest fix, and would make me very happy. I really dont care about the cross game voice chat, and we know custom soundtracks CAN be done, just look at MLB The Show 08 (which actually has custom soundtracks). Just let me send a friend a text during a game, I will be happy!
TTP said:
Even that's not necessary, most games have a separate volume adjustment for music, the user could turn the music track all the way down while listening to custom soundtracks.
The real problem is with pre-recorded cutscenes, where the music is already mixed with dialog and sound effects... there's really not much you can do there. The options are either keep playing the custom soundtrack and let it sound like crap, or simply continue to leave the option up to developers but cut the memory requirements down to zero (part of reserved memory). Unless there's already hooks that developers have been required to implement since the beginning that tell the OS that it's playing a cutscene and the OS should stop custom soundtracks, that problem won't go away without a lot of patches.

I'm a huge fan of custom soundtracks for gaming, but PS3 needs in-game messaging and cross-game invites more than anything else, and it needs them yesterday.
Here's hoping it comes soon.

Would you mind uploading this at it's native resolution?
Why would you modify the size of the image to make it semi-legible?

In-game XMB would just be one program that combines other smaller programs. Several games are already using these programs.
Mainichi Issho is probably the most comprehensive at this point. All of those functions are done through the OS, it's just lacking the ability to do it from any point in the game which is where the in-game XMB would come in.
Or you could just look at the google cache page, or the official Aussie Playstation Website. Both here. http://www.ripten.com/2008/02/13/official-playstation-site-confirms-in-game-xmb-accidentally/commariodore64 said:

You can't do that in Resistance right now? It's being general it's not saying anything that isn't true right now.

By being general is why it's important. Not all games do it, so for the site to change and have something like that kinda says something. It's no confirmation at all but it isn't also nothing.commariodore64 said:

You hit the nail on the head there. The phrasing and text separates the act of talking in game and anytime when online.
It's like saying that you're excited about the dl content and multiplayer that is exclusive to 360 for GTA IV.
:lol
Seriously, this is confirmation of nothing.

I hope its true! *waits for someone to quote and say "don't we all"*
The wording seems to nice to be fake and looks real...GDC.
Beleive.
I just wish they would increase the friends list to 100 (Come mon 360 and Wii has 100 friend slots! And plus I like adding funny people I meet online >.> )
And more than a 20 character limit on the comments!!
But I'll be more than happy with in-game messeging. (and voice chat by the sounds of it)

Because they updated the site - they didn't throw this page up and take it down very fast for Google to cache it...
