Sony Corp is relying more heavily on its PlayStation 3 game consoles to make money for its game unit in the year to March, as weak sales of handhelds threaten to undermine a business the company's CEO is banking on to help return his company to profit.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
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.
SONY is killing its self with FPS GAMES AND MULTIPLAYER only games.
make games EVERYONE will enjoy again, bring back ol school gaming.
I guess the Game division is the only profitable for Sony Corp right now.. The rest is lackluster..
They should continue the momentum of it's PS until next gen and don't give up.. goodluck sony!
yup the game has changed and it's the minority that's most vocal about this, voiced on places like this in fact
It amuses me the dream world that a lot of gamers live in in I see them saying thing like DVDs and Blurays selling poorly. Do you honestly think big businesses like Walmart would devote so much store space to them if they sold poorly? Just because you're only streaming movies now, doesn't mean everyone is. A lot of people don't even have a decent enough connection to stream HD. Others will watch a movie or show they really like and run out and buy the DVD or Bluray afterwards. Though I stream a lot of stuff on my Bluray/Internet Tv unit, I still prefer owning physical copies of stuff I really like, and so does everybody I personally know.
