So that's that, then. The dust has settled, reporters from all over the world are flying back from New York and we finally have details of the PlayStation 4. Sony had been trumpeting up its big console reveal over the last month, inviting us to 'See the future' and open the door to next-generation hardware, and now it's finally over. What did we make of the whole thing? Well, we were slightly disappointed.
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 would rather say; I am very much disappointed!!
***we at least want to know what it looks like. Surely the whole point of a big PlayStation 4 reveal event is to, you know, show us a PlayStation 4?***
Nope. And the fact you still want to know what it looks like? That means you'll still be looking forward to new information on the console rather than sitting there with nothing else to wonder about. It means they are doling out information in parts rather than letting it all hit at once and the dissipate over time, making for a fairly lackluster release as people have 'forgotten' about it due to the lack of any new information.
disappointment is really done to the person and what they expected. for me it was not a disappointment's so should I go make an article stating that?
How can you be disappointed with what we saw
Sony basically corrected all the wrongs they did at the launch of the PS3 and learnt from their mistakes...the only thing left to go is the price and even then I still believe it will be reasonable
I liked it. While it could have been better, it's a nice tease before E3. E3 will be incredible.
