While the Sony rep didn’t go into specific numbers, there will apparently be many more PlayStation 4s available at launch than there were PlayStation 3s.
Shortages could still be an issue though.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
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.
I really don't think there will be shortages and it seems like neither does Sony. This seems like a win for gamers.
This sucks, but that's what they get for making a great console.
Pre-ordered PS4 today, actually. Here's hoping there won't be shortages. Now, what will my first game be.... hmm....
Drive Club.
EDIT: Oh, wait.
I have PS Plus. Now what will my first fifteen games be...
The cure to this is time. Just have to wait a while until there's more.
