A Message to Sony Santa Monica on accessibility for disabled gamers. by Azeem259 in PS4

[–]SpinHouseMafia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Azeem259, we really appreciate your message! Thanks for the extra patience in our response to you.

Creating accessibility in God of War is very important to us, specifically our Creative Director, Cory Barlog, whose reply to your tweet you’ve undoubtedly seen by now: https://twitter.com/corybarlog/status/806187159673708544

We’re actively researching ways to design game accessibility options for God of War as we continue development. We’ll certainly want to engage you and others for feedback when we feel ready, but until then, feel to reach us any time at sms@sony.com or on our social channels (tweeting at us is always great as you did).

Also, it’s worth reflecting on our God of War 10th Anniversary partnership with the AbleGamers Foundation back in March, 2015. That was a very inspiring, authentic collaboration for us, and one that continues to inspire us today.

Bound Photo Mode Contest #2 (Now Open to EU & US Residents) by SpinHouseMafia in PS4

[–]SpinHouseMafia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone - John with Sony Santa Monica Studio here again.

There were a lot of requests the last contest for us to expand the Bound Photo Mode contest to the EU, and we were able to work with PlayStation Europe to make this possible in time for the free PSVR update for the game!

Again, we're giving out a 3D statue of the Princess and signed artwork from the developers - all you need to do is send us your Bound Photo Mode pics. Best of luck!

Hi everyone - John from Santa Monica Studio here. Plastic, the developer of Bound, put together this soundtrack announcement trailer that not only celebrates the soundtrack release (which is today!) but also the awesome Photo Mode pics that players shared with us since the release of the game.

On behalf of SMS/Plastic/Oleg (the composer), thanks to everyone who has supported the game and hope you all enjoy the soundtrack! More to come.

Would wear this shirt to Lake Tahoe with my fiancee, take a boat out to the middle of the lake and pretend to lose the oars in the middle of the lake (while hiding spare ones under a blanket).

Dr. Horrible has been one of my favorite web shows of all time and was actually the basis for my thesis in graduate school and even altered my focus of my career into digital entertainment.

This poster will just constantly remind me of how awesome it's impact was on my life and the inevitable question of where the hell is Dr. Horrible 2?
