We may not see any more Western triple-A titles for the handheld.
Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House has admitted the future of the PS Vita is still up in the air following the launch of the PS4.
Speaking to IGN at this week's Develop Conference in Brighton, House responded to concerns about whether the handheld's days as a portal for triple-A titles are behind it by explaining the company is waiting to see how things progress.
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.
:(
"We may not see any more Western triple-A titles for the handheld."
I'm pretty sure there will still be Western AAA Vita games in the future. Only haters tend to be pessimistic about it. The headline of this news, like many others about the current issue regarding the Vita, is just another heavy statement in order to be click-bait. Journalists -- how they love to exaggerate.
I thought the answer is obvious - cross platform games. So I buy a game for the Vita and know that I can also play it on my PS4. Simples. But still keep making games for the Vita dammit!!!
Not surprised honestly
"You know, if you can play your PlayStation 4 content at will on Vita, then does that obviate the necessity of having Triple-A content or not?"
Scary statement for Vita owners.
