Gaming Future takes a look at 5 PlayStation 3 firmware updates that helped turn around Sony's fortunes after a lacklustre launch.
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 actually think it's the downgrades of each newer console that saved the ps3 rather then the firmware updates, strange that the ps3 now is much less capable then the ps3 which released. but we know why they did it.
For me it's the games that saved the ps3, i never had one in the beginning because there was no games i could relate to on it, that changed when killzone 2 came out and i think the overall quality of ps3 games improved alot since killzone 2 came out and for me personally that's what saved the ps3
WTF?. PS3 has the games. It never need saving because it has the games.
Useless article...
Being able to access the xmb during a game was big a improvement imo,having to quit the game to check msgs was awful. Which is why I like firmware updates since most of the time they added new features.
It was never in danger!!!!!
WTF?
Since when was the PS3 in danger of disappearing? If anything it is the 360, based on your argument.
the PS3 has now sold more in less time. Does that mean the 360 is in 'danger'? No!
Go away and die!! Now.
Stop writing crap about whch you know nothing!
