VGR: Seriously, this was the marketing campaign for the last Playstation. Thank you Sony for fueling my nightmares...
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.
lol for some reason I really liked these commercials, but I do admit that they probably didn't do much for them as they had hoped.
Good thing they went with the Kevin Butler Idea later on.
The one that did creep me out: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I did like when they decided to focus on the games with commercial http://www.youtube.com/watc...
All the butler ones are great though: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Yeah these commercials were pretty damn trippy. Oh well. They could have been more like the PSP squirrels commercial. And besides, we eventually wound up getting Kevin Butler ads and those were hilarious.
I thought those were fake parody commercials when I first saw them lol
Even the japanese ps3 commercials were freaky.
Best PlayStation ads I saw so far was the korean ones.
Oh sony ... maybe the whole time the problem was ur marketing team.
Later though, sony make dot believe was a pretty good ad. But again, thats not a PlayStation ad.
The all stars one was pretty good with all the PlayStation characters coming out, although the ad was interesting, it wasnot geared toward the general public.
Just do what Microsoft does for marketing. Copy exactly what they do.
I agree some of the commercials had a question mark in my head like wtf was that? I dont think these commercials were the problem though, it was that sony didnt do enough advertising at the time.
Great thing is they learned from alot of their passed mistakes and been doing a very good job of turning all those things around. Kaz has done a phenomenal job and it looks like it will only get better from here on out.
Also that 30 minute beyond two souls gameplay looks freakin fan-effing-tastic. It will definitely be a must buy day 1 title for me.
Shinra Tensei
I think if properly funded, these commercials would have done what they were supposed to do.
They were supposed to be trippy and make you go "wth was that?!" But there wasn't enough of them. I remember literally watching TV more just to wait for one to come on, and never seeing them at all.I saw it maybe once before they went in a different direction.
