Support NeoGAF

[DBT85]

-If you can please tell to developers that we prefer native res games(even better if 60 fps) with slightly simpler graphics than not native res more complex graphics

Or as a minimum every game should have some AA! I'll take a smaller draw distance or less particles if everything looks smooth!

 

[Toth]

Welcome Shahid!

Think you can get Sony or SE the message we are all waiting for FF Type-0

 

[RyoonZ]

Hi Shahid! Welcome to GAF!
I just wanna say I love JRPGs

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Valve support?!?

Hahahahah you guys, never change.

 

[-Amon-]

I understand that I am about to experience a baptism of fire.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Shahid Kamal Ahmad. I work for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe as a Senior Business Development Manager running a group called Strategic Content. I've not been sent here officially and besides, it's a Sunday.

I'm afraid I will not have as much time to devote to NeoGAF as I'd love to, but will do my best to engage with respect and courtesy on as much as I can. I will not be able to respond to everything, or indeed most things.

Oh, and I'm not worried about being abused in any way, if you want to vent, it's OK, I'm a good listener. I care about our customers, because I'm a customer too. Me, my team, my management are working very hard to bring great games to PS Vita, and we are also doing our best to make a tiny little dent in our tiny corner of the universe.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank many of you in this one message most sincerely for the many kind words you've said about me and about Sony Computer Entertainment. It's what keeps us going at night and on weekends. Many of us deeply, passionately care and that's not some corporate bullshit, that's me on my own time on a Sunday being real with you.

Love and respect,

Shahid

Welcome !

And keep up the good work, that beautiful piece of hardware called PS Vita deserves it for sure

 

[Solal]

Hi Shahid,

Just wanted to express how sorry I feel that Vita is not used like the perfect shmups machine it should be.

Bring CAVE, Treasure in and you ll get all the hardcore gamers in!

Shmups are one of the best way to build a solid hardcore community.

Come on man !

SHMUPS FOR LIFE!

 

[Dead Prince]

Valve support?!?

Hahahahah you guys, never change.

unprecedented partnership

 

[Kyon]

You gurls SMH. Making a Sony employee feel like they will get dragged from you hyping this more than it needs to be. Mess

GET IT TOGETHER SISTEREN

 

[ReaperXL7]

Valve support?!?

Hahahahah you guys, never change.

Well there was that E3 where Gabe showed up on Sonys stage with protal 2. people thought that was impossible at the time aswell, I still dont think its Valve though.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

So is Shahid the first high ranking offical we have from one of the big three on Neogaf? I cant think of anyone from Nintendo, or MS.

Well, there was Jeff "and your contribution to society is..." Bell from MS. But that ended...poorly.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

It's probably that destiny of spirits game they trademarked. It was said to be a handheld rpg right?

 

[Wickerbasket]

Exclusive Valve game, get Kotaku on the phone.

 

[Redhood]

A little lttp but welcome to gaf shahid
Njoy your stay
And do not get scared if u see torches and pitchforks sometimes that's gaf being gaf

 

[bobbytkc]

Well there was that E3 showed up on Sonys stage with protal 2. people thought that was impossible at the time aswell, I still dont think its Valve though.

For a company as cash rich as Valve, they don't really make that many games. Their past 2 games were basically remakes of IPs they bought over. I really don't think Valve support is all that important.

Hopefully you meant to put a j before the RPG because if so I'm IN

 

[thuway]

Assalamualikum Shahid .

 

[Carl]

Well, I won't be able to respond to everything, but I will try to read everything. Also, at Sony, let me tell you something that surprises even me - even at the highest level people are reading here and there on forums. We have passionate discussions about the issues you raise internally. It's not wasted effort.

That's pretty awesome

Welcome to GAF, Shahid.

What games were they? Dota 2 and?

WHAAAAAAAAAT!

[eighty(one)]

Feel free to voice your opinions, we love to listen.

This might sound old hat, but as a non PS3 owner who adores his Vita:

I'd love to see Journey and/or Flower brought over ^_^

 

[spannicus]

Welcome Shahid, thanks for the games.

 

[Salaadin]

Yay! Shahid can post. Welcome to gaf

 

[androvsky]

Shahid, welcome! A few posters have already mentioned it, but the lack of localization of some big PSP RPGs is getting frustrating. Final Fantasy Type-0 already had voices recorded, but there's no news, and Valkyria Chronicles 3 is seemingly abandoned. And what was going on with Hatsune Miku Vita?

Sometimes it feels like the state of localizations is getting worse as time goes by. The PSP HD Classics are the worst; SCEJ allows publishers to have PS3 games without trophies if they were already PSP games. The PS3 version in many cases would be enough to justify localizing the PSP game, but SCEA and possibly SCEE won't allow it apparently. So from our point of view, it looks like SCEJ is encouraging publishers to dig ever larger holes to bury their PSP games in.


Also, any chance of doing one-off QA for PS1 and PS2 games? There's at least one publisher that would be happy to do new localizations for old games that never got it, but there's no way to get them officially approved any more.

 

[Wickerbasket]

Journey would look pretty awesome on the Vita's screen.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

GT6

That actually could happened in some form.

 

[Takao]

What current (non-Euro?) publishers haven't released a Vita game? I would think if the excitement is about the publisher, it must be a (big) publisher that hasn't yet released a game on Vita?

Most notably Take2.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Hopefully you meant to put a j before the RPG because if so I'm IN

 

[spannicus]

Games to expect at E3 new CoD and new AssCreed. Lords of Shadows 2 or Metal Gear Rising

 

[Flightmare]

Same situation here, vita is my first playstation. Would love more ps3 games ported over

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Well there was that E3 where Gabe showed up on Sonys stage with protal 2. people thought that was impossible at the time aswell, I still dont think its Valve though.

Quite the different situation indeed.

 

[JaseC]

What games were they? Dota 2 and?

I assume the other one is CS:GO, which, before becoming a new game, actually did begin life as a PS360 port of CS:S.

 

[ReaperXL7]

For a company as cash rich as Valve, they don't really make that many games. Their past 2 games were basically remakes of IPs they bought over. I really don't think Valve support is all that important.

Thats true, but steam support could be huge if it were possible. If they are considered a "publisher" google has a gaming related announcement soon, maybe it could have something to do with Sony. Some people here impiled Sony was doing something that would "blow the doors wide open" for Indies.

There are lots of possibilities, but it seems that the implication is that a publisher as awhole is coming, and brining multiple games. Could be Zenimax, Capcom, Ubisoft, 2K, Activision, Deep Silver.....who knows, we wont until they push the announcement.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Assalamualikum Shahid .

You mean: "asalaam alikum".

 

[spannicus]

It sucks that a modded console can play most games through remote play, but we still cant. I hope they fix that.

 

[ambientmystic]

You mean: "asalaam alikum".

Or Assalamualaikum. Also acceptable.

Welcome to Neogaf, Shahid.

 

[ertitoagus]

It's time to change (ninjaedit) the thread topic guys....

 

[jyx]

Demons souls portable: the 6th archstone

 

[Ghazi]

I don't even want to try to spell the Arabic phrase for hello in English. It just comes out screwy, you guys need to stop trying lol.

 

[wilflare]

welcome Shahid! it's good to see you finally on GAF

 

[De-mon]

Where is my Bomberman Vita?

 

[Takao]

Where is my Bomberman Vita?

Well Vita has already bombed, man. Bad puns aside Konami basically killed all of Hudson's IPs when they bought the company.

 

[nampad]

Welcome Shahid! Thanks for the great work with the indies, hope your work with the big 3rd parties will live up to that.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Welcome Shahid! Really appreciate your hard efforts. If you have the ear of others with Sony at all get Bluepoint their own game for the Vita. Also would be awesome to see other studios like Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog form a small team like Media Molecule and make a vita exclusive.

Keep it up man, much love.

Yeah, I know. But a man can dream...

Well... where is my already announced Worms Vita then?

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Welcome Shahid!

First, we appreciate your hard work and generous attitude!
Secondly, my biggest advice is listening to Androvsky when he mentioned some localisation efforts. We don't mind Japanese vocals when there are subtitles!!!! We are dying for Valkyria Chronicles 3 and FF Type 0!!!!! So if no dub is cheaper we are more than willing to accept subtitles only!!!!!

What is Naughty Dog's second team doing now anyway?

 

[michaelius]

What is Naughty Dog's second team doing now anyway?

Uncharted 4 for PS4 probably ?

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Thanks Shahid for TxK and all the other great games!
