Title: Playstation Central - Relaunched!!
Post by: Batch on August 26, 2006, 11:46:23 AM
For those who knew about my website before, I had closed it down and concentrated on the forum since October. Now, the Playstation Central website (renamed from PS2 Central) is back and with a new look.

Please leave any feedback as to what you think to it but bear in mind that it is still being worked on as not all pages are available as yet but getting there.

The URL is still the same for those who knew it before - http://www.ps2-central.co.uk

I hope everyone will like it!

The radio is still around BUT not on the home page - its placed on the radio page as well as the forum so fear not. :) Its placed on the portal page of the forum so those who regularly visit know whether the radio is on air or not.

could have told you when it was launched that the "PS2 central" name would have a limited life span - might be an idea to get an new url too

It makes all the difference when you write "but" in capitals.  It gets the point across when a normal "but" just wont do.

I also like how all content is copyrighted.  You must be a rich person to own the Playstation copyright.  Lucky boy.

No lol - The template was a design I requested and was done by someone. Im pretty pleased with the results. On the copyright thing, I meant the content on the website that I done myself (not the playstation trademark etc.) was copyright.

Anyway Im not looking for comments like that, Im looking for HONEST feedback on the new look and what could be improved etc. Not criticism of copyright etc. ok?

There is no copyright writ on the site so not properly copyrighted anyway
somewhere there needs to be something like

QuoteALL RIGHTS RESERVED. The entire content of this site, including but not limited to text, design, graphics, interfaces, code, and the selection and arrangement thereof, is protected as the copyrights, trade dress, trademarks and other intellectual property rights owned by xxxxxxxxx.com and its affiliates.

Trademarks of other companies that appear on this site are used for nominative purposes only and do not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

Your getting some "honest" feedback here, ignoring any bad feedback will never get anything you do improved apon, maybe hard, guys here have given some harsh feedback to me on things before and so you address them and make things better.
Personally dont like the design and font looks very old school web design which people trying to get past.

Stop breaking balls with fallicious bollocks mate.

IP belongs to the original person unless otherwise stated, the fact is you do not need to state "All material is copyrighted" or any mention of copyrighting on your site, it is by default.

The only issue that lies therein is "proof" of originality. Can you prove that your content is really your content, and not stolen from elsewhere.

Registered Trademarks are still registered trademarks for the respective companies even when used elsewhere, or under different pretexts. He does not need to state "the xxxxxxxx.com name, logo, designated marks" as law covers it with or without said statement.

kinell, the lad asked for comments on the site, not a f*cking tour of copyright law...  :roll:

and for that oversight i say you ALL stink of wee.

Batch, my comments on your site are always the same, its very heavily-laden with information, its chocca-block in fact. Keep it simple is my advice, my eyes go into melt down everytime i click the link to your site.

Also, how will you review the games etc.? i dont play video games but for a punter who wants to know about games, why wouldnt he just buy a magazine, as surely youre not going to get free tests of the games before they are released.

Ermmm....Does the PS2 Beta Tester sig tell you anything?  :lol:

Yeh your right Badabing. I not need a f**king tour of copyright and that.

Gonna stick with one banner for the highlights part and removing the radio banner as the link is available on menu but will redo the PSC banner to make it fit to size or do a new one completely.  M3ta7h3ad, thanks for backing me up too. I asked for feedback elsewhere and I havent got any bollocks like nexus posted about!!  :x  Just I think hes doin it to put people off here!

I dont think there is any point coming here if Im not being welcomed or treated like a proper member here. The feedback is not very helpful with likes of nexus here. May never come back!

Thats not a very nice attitude to take towards people offering relevant feedback.

No, the PS2 Online Beta Tester doesnt tell me anything other than you were a Beta Tester.  I was a Beta Tester for Eve.  Whooppee.

You have threatened leaving before yet you keep coming back for more.  ;)  You asked for opinions, people gave them and you dont like the opinions given?

Using trademarks and copyrights without permission is ok then?  All that bootlegged merchandise I have buried in the back garden is ok?  Best dig it up and stick it on ebay. ;)

Did you ever get a 360 or are you waiting for the PS3 now?

So you want specific feeback regarding what exactly?  It looks a cuttered mess.  The logo looks amateurish.  "Unreal Tournament 2007 is first video" Pardon?

Im sorry but it looks like a mashup of ebay, the argos catalogue and some dodgy site trying to get you to sign upto some pyramid scheme.

Fonts need changing and you need some content, i see new cheats on the cheat page but where are they ?

So you have a toolbar, a radio station and a site that looks like a pyramid scheme, couple that with the fact that ps3 is out soon, hmm :)

What pyramid scheme?? That PSC banner link? Thats the online gaming community or clan whatever you call it. I made it and looking to do tourneys, friendlies against clans on games etc.

Also, fonts sorted. Just the headers for menu and other bits to sort out now...

He was refering to the style of the site, not up with modern stuff, I hope you did not pay or pay much for it, old one bar the clutter was a better one.
The font - arial used the most, nice on documents and such and the odd thing on a website but it does not work well on websites as a whole.

Ok, 2 things

1. OMFG! learn what an aspect ratio is, then apply it to some of your damn images. Its like looking at an image some 14yr old who just got PS for the first time made and thought "well, bigger MUST be better"

2. GTFO
