Push Square: "Throughout the uncharacteristically barren first-party release schedule of 2012, it always felt like Sony’s attention was elsewhere. Twisted Metal, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and Starhawk were all strong releases, but they felt like disposable distractions designed to fill the time ahead of the looming onslaught of 2013. That barrage is now upon us, but, as the past few days have evidenced, it’s not all that we have to anticipate over the next eleven months. With a growing handheld catalogue and the glimmer of the next generation on the horizon, could we be on the cusp of PlayStation’s greatest ever year?"
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.
How many Times have we've heard this?
Its gonna be a great year but I'm more excited for 2014, because we have no idea whats coming.
Hard to tell, its February. One things for sure tho, Its off to a great start.
7 years heard this. Little boring, i wait February 20th.
in a way 2011 was their best , and worst
Ups ( in order i think )
- LittleBigPlanet 2
- Motorstorm Apocalypse
- Killzone 3
- SOCOM 4
- InFamous 2
- Resistance 3
- Ratchet & Clank All 4 One
- Uncharted 3
- Journey
Downs
- PSN being down for a while, this probably affected socom sales but it did hurt Resistance 3 bad in MP since the beta was released only a week or something before the release and coming with a huge patch after , may have put off some people
