The PS4 system enables game developers to realize their creative vision on a platform specifically tuned to their needs, making it easier to build huge, interactive worlds in smooth 1080p HD resolution. Its supercharged PC architecture – including an enhanced Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and 8GB of GDDR5 unified system memory – is designed to ease game creation and deliver a dramatic increase in the richness of content available on the platform. The end result for players is an abundant software library, as more than 180 games are currently in development.
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.
funniest thing is I look at my launch 60g ps3 and my ps4 and I'm like wtf.
I know Sony will come good and the ps4 is a really good console but I look at the four USB sockets on my ps3,its backward compatible, it's got card readers.. ps4 hasn't got any of these and I can live without that it's not a deal breaker BUT..
not being able to read hard drives, stream my movies or mp3s is just unforgivable and should have been in the first update from Sony. to still not have that is ridiculous that's why my ps3 is staying put.
Reading external hard drives and dlna support will come soon via a software update. I understand where you are coming from with the backwards capabilities; which are also said to come via a future software update and the launch of the Gaikai streaming service.
More than anything, Sony wanted to get the console to market problem-free (as best as possible), so several features we had on PS3 were cut for the launch. Just as with the PS3, time and a couple of software updates later, we will be wondering what all the fus was about in the beginning.
I would love a Vita/PS4 bundle to come to Canada. That's what I'm waiting for.
Yeah 8 now. 10 when uncharted and the order land in your face!
I love the PS4 so far, Sony fixed most of the things I didn't like about the PS3.
That being said, I've found a unexcusable flaw when comes to Blu Ray movies, there's no reason Dolby or DTS shouldn't work with movies. It's really starting to piss me off. Works fine with games and Streaming, but it won't work with BR movies. How can something like this be overlooked?
