There’s still no release date for Sony’s PS Vita RPG ‘Soul Sacrifice’ but the latest GamesCom trailer shows off a terrific looking title.
In Sony’s upcoming PS Vita third-person action-RPG Soul Sacrifice, players must sacrifice items, body parts, or even lives to unleash powerful attacks against massive monsters.
To be honest, it looks great and I wish it was coming out on the PS3. In fact, this is the first game I’ve seen launching on the PS Vita that makes me think I might need to get one of Sony’s latest handheld devices.
The struggling Vita is having a hard time making a splash in the gaming market largely due to a lack of compelling titles, but if this game is anywhere as great as it looks, that might change.
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.
Looks like an awesome game, but I don't think it will sell that great outside of Japan. Hopefully it will sell some Vitas over there, and Assasins Creed will probably sell more Vitas in Europe and NA. Cod will still probably sell some...but it might not deserve too.
The 3DS and junk like Kinect always get a free pass but the Vita is in constant need of saving?.
These journalists need to STFU.
Sony is trying to fill the void left by monster hunter, with this game. and i hope it succeed
This game looks amazing.
Are people really that unenthusiastic about the Vita's current library? Does it lack that many games?
I look at the titles available, and I see some good stuff from nearly every genre. But I guess instead of a title or two from each, people want 35 first person shooters...
