A live-action webseries based on the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last of Us is in the works. The show carries the title The Last of Us: What Remains and focuses on a number of unfamiliar characters. It is not yet clear whether the project is being officially handled by Sony, the publisher of the game. On the website of the project no logos of Sony, or developer Naughty Dog can be found. Yet the website reports that "the series is intended to be used as a marketing campaign by Naughty Dog to increase sales and awareness for the game title".
A trailer for the series, as well as various photographs of the characters and some of the enemies can be found on the website.
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 watch this.
Sony will be stupid to cut ties with Naughty Dog..sony offer them more money and let them release more awesome jaw dropping games
Wouldn't be surprised if they actually make a movie out of it. I'll definitely get into the series though.
cut ties? Sony owns naughty dog, they doesnt have a contract at all. Seriously silly articles these days
Um...why would they ever cut ties with Naughty Dog when Uncharted has been one of the most successful new IPs this generation, on top of the buzz The Last of Us is getting, along with the fact that they *own* the company since 2001? That's like Sony cutting off their right arm.
