E-mpire Writes: Sony has recently filed a patent that may shed some light on the future of motion control on PlayStation.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Sony is improving the current technologies that we have like the wii is to Move. I'm not against that but, they should try and innovate more.
Opps what i meant was that CD-ROM was actually first mass produced by Sony and Philips, just not the first gaming console though. But i'm pretty sure Sony was the first company to bring us portable CD player.

I think it's interesting... it it remains to be seen, if anything can be implemented well in a next-gen system.
Or if Sony will actually try to sell the additional controller with the console itself, next-gen. If it remains a seperate peripheral, then I don't think too many third parties will really take advantage of it. This in turn will mean that such a system will have to remain very cheap in production. Two cameras aren't expensive in itself. The algorithms to make it work might be. It depends on where this calculation takes place. Kinect has some chips inside the system, which does some calculations prior to sending it to the box. Nothing major, but it saves the box time to do other stuff... and it lowers bandwidth requirements, too.
My question is... is this the way to go for gaming, or was the Wii just a fad, that's "dead" now, because of telephone and pad gaming?
Awesome keep up the excellent work sony i can't wait to see it in action!
