With details slipping out frequently on Microsoft’s Xbox 720 console, there has been a complete opposite of details for the elusive Sony PS4. We all know it is coming, but Sony and industry sources have remained tight-lipped on what kind of specifications and features we can expect to see when it releases. PS4 backwards compatibility however, may not be one of them.
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.
Just keep your ps3. BC is nice for some, but i prefer to play games on their respected platform.
All ps2 gaming this gen was done on a ps2.
Ps1, N64 had to be digital because i'm not paying 500 dollars for zelda or whatever.
Played GC games on a GC this gen, Xbox games on an Xbox.
You get the idea.
I don't believe a word of it.
The developer in question so far have made one game for the PS3. Even that is a PSN game.
Guess these guys missed the flood of PS4 rumours that have been ongoing for quite some time.
If i buy a new Playstation or Xbox i will not care about this dilemma. If i have a Ps3 i play my PS3 games on hit. Like a still play some PS2 games on the PS2. Its cool to have backwards comptibility but its not the purpose of a new console to play different and new games? That's why its a new console.
In the very least i hope the next xbox is backwards compatable im sure it will as it will use similar tech.
