Kotaku: Last March, we gave you an early look at how the PlayStation 4—code-named Orbis—was shaping up. Nearly a year later, we're about to bring you a clearer, more timely update, including new technical specs and information on an upgrade to Sony's traditional controller design.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
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 seems to be implementing a design similar to that of the PSVita’s by including a capacitative touch-screen to the back of the controller"
....I don't know how I feel about that
The reason I could put up with it in the PSV was because I thought to myself it's a handheld, this is best substitute for back triggers. However this is a controler, I don't want to rely on a touch screen to do something on screen, especialy if it's at the back. Unless it has R1/L1 AND R2/L2 triggers aswell as the touchscreen at the back
Keep it simple Sony you don't have to change it. Hope this isn't true
If anyone is worried about the small hard-drive size, don't be. With the next generation of Blu-Ray players inside the ps4 you wont need to install almost anything. The content can just be streamed I think ^^ The Blu-Ray in the ps3 is too slow for it do to it as the ps4 will be able to :)
Awesome....I'm anticipating purchasing 2 awesome consoles in the near future!!
...Wii U is not one of them Lulz
*When did 160GB's become small??
The hard drive is probably small because this is the dev kit which doesnt need a large hard drive but does have extra memory over the retail version
