"DLB talks about what he proposes for the future of PlayStation Network for when it debuts on the PlayStation 4/Orbis. He referrs to it as "PlayStation Social Network" and recommends how Sony should really push on social capabilities of PSN, where it is currently lacking. DLB gives some of his recommendations on the specifics of exactly what needs to be done also."
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.
Yes Sony and Playstation needs to get their Social Network together. I am a die-hard Playstation fan but PSN seems disconnected. I think the next gen PSN should be as connected as cell phones are in every way. I am impressed how 360 grab the Social aspect and ran with it. Sony just needs to do the same Next gen.
No offense, but I don't give a crap about cross game chat or most social features. I don't want to have a convo with someone while I'm enjoying my games. If I want to talk to you, I'll call you or send u a message on FB chat.
Obviously there are people out there who care about things like this, I just personally don't.
Next gen, in my opinion, will be much more about social integration, making gaming a more connected experience. In this respect the PSN has plenty of room to improve.
Dedicating a respectable amount of memory to the OS will be a good place to start. But I'd say that's a given.
Ps vita says hi, if vita had home well it would be amazing
