A "Microsoft insider" speaking to CVG has responded to Sony's next-generation tease. This unnamed person said future platform supremacy will be awarded to the company with the most substance, not the most flash.
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.
And sony has substance baby.
Poor insider just bashed his own company. Microsoft has substance? Ha ha don't make me laugh so hard!
""The war won't be won by producing the most powerful system," the person said. "
I think this comment gives credibility to EDGE's reports about the PS4 being more technically superior (assuming this insider is actually legit).
I agree to an extent with him but just how much more powerful will the PS4 be?
Sony had a slightly more powerful console this generation and it was hampered by the fact that games were difficult to develop for it comparatively.
With that out of the window now with news of the PS4 being very easy to develop for, more power and less headaches could be really important factors that determine victory.
I sense extreme fear and insecurity from this "Microsoft insider". He knows that if they couldn't beat Sony with a year head start that they don't have a chance without a year head start. Dead last place is bringing the claws out from this "Microsoft insider".
"Victory will go not to those who make the most noise, but those who make the most impact," this person said.
Microsoft always makes a lot of noise and never has much impact, just look at Zune,Windows surface and Kin.
