Gary A. Swaby of TheKoalition writes: We return with our ‘pre-Sony Meeting’ podcast to discuss the latest in the gaming industry.
Before Sony sends the media world in a frenzy this week we thought it would be best to record a show before, to get our final predictions out. Myself Edward V and Anthony Frasier chopped it up about a few different topics, such as the leaked images of the PS4 prototype controller. One of us felt like Sony should have changed the actual layout of the controller, find out who and why by pressing play.
We also discussed the new Bungie title Destiny, are they doing a good job promoting this game? Will it really have a ten year life-span?
Last of Us was delayed by Sony, but why? It is now releasing the week after E3, so was this delay perhaps a strategic move on Sony’s behalf? Do they plan to reveal something at E3 that will persuade more people to buy Last of Us?
Edward V also spilled the beans on what he thinks of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, s...
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
It’s a good week to be a gamer indeed. I really hope they utilize the touch screen on the PS4 controller well. I can only assume how much battery power it will waste if they don't.
The reveal is tomorrow (hopefully). Too much talk ha. Not too much longer to find out..
I am scared and excited to see what "next-gen" is going to offer. If it's much at all or a lot.
Nothing wrong with the controller layout, one thing they can get is the trigger from the xbox.
They have to keep the control layout and shape relatively the same. Its a defining feature in their brand that separates it from the Xbox controller. When you see that layout you automatically think "Oh thats a Playstation controller."
Sorry but xbox controller is too fat and heavy , no elements other than party chat should be borrowed from xbox
