"From the moment announced their February 20th event, the news reports have all converged on the idea that the event will be the announcement of the PlayStation 4. Most of this information originates from a Wall Street Journal article that cites “sources”, but nothing more. There is a possibility this announcement will not be the big PS 4 reveal everyone is expecting and here are 9 reasons why this event could possibly catch everyone off guard." - LazyTechGuys
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
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.
The backlash if it isnt will be huge!
The thing is if Sony did not know people would expect a ps4 reveal from that teaser I really dont know what to say...
But Im betting it is...
Those were ridiculous reasons...
Ps3 still has games coming out? Really? You expect sony to just stop releasing good games for the ps3 just cuz the ps4 is coming out soon?
I couldn't find a single reason that made any sense whatsoever.
In aroundabout way they did. Cause you don't make a cryptic teaser invite investors
Just so you can cover a handheld that up this point really doesn't have anything going for it.
And that gaikai? Nope! That's gonna be left more than likely for E3 to be discussed.
Could this date be used to announce new ps3 games? Possible but with all the nextgen leaks we've been hearing of lately I believe the time is now to bring out the ps4. And the teaser served
As the warning shot.
Reason 3 is valid, but then again they could announce a ps3 price cut to $149.99.
