"I have, for the longest time, always been very skeptical of any subscription services offered on consoles as I always believed them to be a greedy business practice trying to force gamer's hands and pockets into paying more for an already expensive hobby. Well today I can tell you without a doubt that PlayStation Plus has changed my heart and mind on the topic; the business model in play here has the gamers in mind first. I could go on and on about the benefits of being a PS Plus member, but instead I'm just going to try and explain to you why PlayStation Plus is the biggest reason why you should own a PS3 this holiday season. I know I've just listed about 17 games for the price of 3 ($200.00 total), but I'm asking you to forget all that for a second. I'm telling you that with PlayStation Plus, you can walk into a store and buy a PS3 and not purchase a single game with it; then come home, hook up your PS3 to the internet, sign up for PlayStation Plus, and you're guaranteed to be playing at least one new game every month of the year at no extra cost to you." - Gamer-Rider.com
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.
PS+ goodies, exclusives (Valykria Chronicles, Journey, Flower, Rain, Flow, MGS4, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Beyond, The Last of Us, Resistance, GT, Demon Souls, God of War, Killzone, StarHawk) Yep, good time :D
Plenty of blu-ray movies to watch when I'm not on my PC.
There really isn't any ammo left in the "Ps3 is doomed" fight.. Just wish people would shed this "PSN is inferior" argument cause its not.. After having a service like PSN for free I will never pay for Live.
Only thing i miss from being an xbl gamer is the chat capabilities. But other than that i am a happy psn user.
P.s. people really need to give ghost recon future soldier a try. Especially if youre tired of the way online shooters have been. Btw, only the tacticle need to apply. Team is the game ppl.
