Maani Value Guru: ''In case if you believe the media hoopla, then Sony (SNE) is going to be unveiling the next PlayStation titled PS4 in just a couple of weeks. The company has offered a latest teaser trailer of sorts on the PlayStation Blog, and it suggests that the next PlayStation will be introduced on February 20. That's just a few weeks away, so the PlayStation 4 could be nearer than some believe. I mentioned the impending PS4 launch in my last article, and how the recent news from China regarding lifting of console ban would be a good catalyst for PS4 after the launch.
The invitation post on the PlayStation Blog is short on specifics, but the title does invite us to "See the Future." Just like all good teasers, Sony doesn't give away much either. All we can spot are the classic PlayStation symbols and the February 20, 2013 date at the end. Obviously, we can't be sure of Sony's motives, but it definitely appears that the company is gearing up to announce its next gaming console.''
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.
i would love it if ps4 is backward compatible to play all ps3,ps2 and ps1 game discs. would be willing to pay £600 for it day one.it would also be amazing to get all games digitally if i felt like getting them.
i would like sony to allow me to connect my vita wirelessly through ps4 and play my games on my teli using vita.
Oh I can only imagine how many dissapointed people there are going to be if its not the PS4 on Feb 20
if they announce the ps4, i will still keep playing my ps3, so many exclusives i still haven't got a chance to play.
count me as a sale.
Dang! feb 20 can't come soon enough.
