Non Specific Action take a stand against Sony as their Vita schedule has been far from perfect or investable.
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
Don't F******g buy one then and f**k o**
Question. Why is it people still keep saying they could buy a PS3 for the money they spend on the VITA? I could buy a Wii for the money I spend on a 3DS but a Wii is not portable is it. And as for the launch line up being a joke if I remember the 3DS starting line up was an even bigger joke and people still ran out and brought it. If your best game is a remake of a decades old game I think that counts as a joke. Sony handed us a whole bunch of games at launch and they need time to get more. And we already saw that we are getting a lot more. So I know PlayStation fans don't have the most patience in the world but all systems need time to build their titles. No system has ever launched with great games from the start not even the 3DS.Developers like MM need a little time to get used to the VITA's strong points. So shouting 'I want my games so stof f***king around!' isn't really going to help
I did not read the article but the minute I saw the title it reminded me of a comment referring to the latest Vita firmware up date.
" I think what pisses me off the most is Sony working on trivial features like this when they need to do so many things to get Vita out of the gutter."
There are so many big & important things that Sony should be doing with their ailing business and they are not doing them.
I have been saying this since 2010:
A well balanced gaming platform for mature & young gamers.
1) Sony do not neglect & underestimate the power of young gamers because they are the foundation of mature gaming
2) Sony itself are not making the right types of games for the PS Vita. Nintendo's dominance of handheld gaming has defined that sector through the years as a gaming for the kids. Nintendo games are built to appeal to east & west. PSP had great hardware installed base but abyssmal software support.
Now throw in how Apple & Android changed how the masses game all the more they need to change their hardcone only strategy.
3) Sony are expecting the wrong age majority of gamers to play on their handheld. The PlayStation console experience is still best experience with a PS3.
4) Sony is having a hard time convincing third party developers to make games for Vita because they have not set the right example & identity of the handheld.
5) Sony has supported & favored its western studios more that Japan Studios as far as game productions are concerned. That is why Japanese gamers flock to Nintendo. Japan Studios biggest games TLG, Gravity Rush, Pupeteer, Rain are niche title.
They go for niche titles & forget the mainstream & entry level games.
Sony Europe Studios have really original & innovative games like LBP & Eyepet but their character designs are scary & horrible like Eyepet & Start the Party. Japanese should step in and design them. That is synergy.
Believe you me I Tweet Mr. Shu Yoshida almost every day about these matters.
And now that the PS3 & PS Vita are lagging in sales & mind share its too late for them to realize that.
End of Rant.
the vita is a sweet lil system, but i cant justify the price tag at this point.
the PlayStation Vita is the most advanced portable gaming system ever made
