Development kits surfaced across the web yesterday, and spread like wild-fire, of the upcoming Sony PlayStation 4 and its controller prototype that has been confirmed by multiple sources as being the real deal. While the PlayStation 4 itself has not been refined in the photos to the point that would be sold to the public (more just a computer tower with the components of the PlayStation 4 inside), the controller looks to be a simplistic version, in its design and layout, lacking only the polish that we will more than likely see next Wednesday (February 20th, 2013). The controller is a larger variation than we have seen on any PlayStation controller to date, far more than the simple change of adding two analog sticks to the PlayStation One controller. More than just the modifications we have seen, the new controller is a necessary and sensible evolution of the PlayStation remote and a reflection of the overall direction of the gaming market. It just flat out makes sense.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
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.
I don't care, it still looks uncomfortable. The 360 pad is one of, if not THE best design for comfort. If it weren't, the Wii U pro controller wouldn't have ripped off of it with it's own small tweaks.
Those damn thumb sticks are in the most awkward positions. They need to at least release TWO kinds of controllers.
If you think the dualshock is too big, you're holding it wrong.
You don't hold it like this...
the NES pad rules period
Looks fine to me, i just hope the sticks dont end feeling loose like ones in current dual shock 3 controllers.
But hey, we cant judge it until it has been on our hands.
