Once upon a time consoles were self-contained, and while a self-contained console was never going to be able to achieve Sony's vision here, I have to wonder whether this new console is going to be worthwhile for people who don't have the extra devices and speedy Internet they're going to need to get the most out of it."
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.
i'm wondering this myself. Pricing will be a huge factor and seeing that it's up there with high-end PC's just about, and the fact thyat it comes with a Camera I'm just wondering how much. SO buying this.;
Should be cheaper than a comparably-spec PC as they are going to made money through other means.
Well, this is one gamer that won't be missing out.
I believe that rumor that some Japanese newspaper & others have suggested that the basic model i guess will be around 400-450. With a premium one more towards 499.
This conference showed how Sony learned from past mistakes. Making a system with the developer in mind, a happy developer will mean happy gamers. They look like they streamlined their online with Gaikai leading the charge. Everything points to that Sony is not gonna pull a 599 stunt again. They will take the hit & make it back in software & online subscriptions.
This is a different Sony under God...i mean Kaz & i am convinced that it will be affordable.
Its either going to be too expensive or Sony will take a massive loss, likely making them go bankrupt. Either way no one wins,
