SCEJ President Hiroshi Kawano suggests the future path for PlayStation Vita and talks Free to Play, the price drop and the importance of Hunting Action titles.
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 think free to play is a great idea for Vita - Phantasy Star Online 2 is looking amazing, and it's a nice model for a handheld title. I hope it does well.
Yeah i want Phantasy Star 2 online! and cant wait for Kz merc, Soul Sacrifice and tear away!!!
There are many games i want for vita.. Im supporting this handheld in every way possible as long as they keep up the good work.. They need some more support from publishers but it will get there after the price drop & a few more games release..
Toukiden is looking really good too - but lots of people haven't picked up on this yet. It looks like Monster Hunter but much darker - and with added dismemberment! : ) Phantasy Star Online 2 is amazing - I love the PC version, and I hear the Vita one is a solid port. Can't wait! Well done to Sega for making this free.
The price cut is a good start to judge the publics want for the system. A recent poll from Famitsu stated that over 64% of Japanese gamers are thinking about buying a Vita this year.
Although a price cut is a welcome addition a steady stream of high quality games will be the most important factor for the Vita's future. The Vita Game Heaven they showed some upcoming games that are just that. More of these Vita Game Heaven's in the future to show off more games is what the Vita needs to ease the minds of Vita owners.
That games are coming.
