PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony's upcoming brawler game, got delayed a few days ago. No exact reason for this delay was given, but the GamesCom proved to be the outcome! Here's why it got delayed...
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.
I would have written it as to improve balancing and more but whatever.
i love when games are balanced
So the delay was to a) fix the network connectivity and get the online mode working well and b) better balance out the characters so one isn't super overpowered and the other is super lame?
That sounds like the two main problems I had with Super Smash Bros Brawl. Terrible online that takes forever to get a game and very poor balance. I'm happy they delayed it to fix those things, just means a better game. Besides, it's only an extra month, unlike most game delays which are much longer. Bioshock Infinite got a 5 month delay from it's original date.
Well better to be delayed then shipped broken.
Ice cream, anyone? Nom nom nom
