Some interesting news from Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creative mind behind the Yakuza series, that Yakuza 5 would be the last version to hit the PlayStation 3; all but confirming that this would be the start of the PlayStation 4′s life cycle. While we all know about the big February 20th reveal that is seemingly confirmed to be the PlayStation 4 event, Nagoshi may have dropped some news in the interview that Sony may have wanted to keep under wraps.
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.
God I hope not
Imagine if that was the new DS4 controller....urgh
Please Sony, don't do this to me. Only reason I moved back to PlayStation from Xbox was because M$ only focused on Kinect and motion crap, instead of actual full-blown new gaming experiences and genres. Don't make the same mistake Sony, or else I'll be going back to PC full-time...
You know I am now thinking that the ds4 may have better motion controlling but I think one rumor said move would be compatabile with the ps4. Now its likely that the ps4 wont be backwards compatabile so whats the point of using move on ps4. I think that the new dual camera will be paired with the current move controller to continue sony's motion controlling games. This would make sense as move was introduced in 2010 so only 3 years have past and the main limitation to why move couldnt do more was the camera.
So having the move with a better camera would be economically better for consumers and sony as already 10-15 million moves have been sold so there are some people that have it. Plus they could do a new bundle with a move + new camera + game for around $100 which what the original move bundle cost.
'Instead, Nagoshi’s claim that the game would be a more physical experience lends credit to the drawings and blueprints of a PlayStation controller.'
How the friggin' hell do you draw that conclusion from the fact he said it would be a more physical experience? It might just use MOVE or he could just be saying the game's more dynamic.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
