I just can’t stop asking myself: why?"
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.
Yup...scared of what MS has to show with the 720 ;)...Just Jokeing.
But this not Sony's style to be the first to announce a console - makes you wonder why the sudden change in strategy.
I also think this is good for MS because they do not have to rush this gen and they also get to see what they are up against which IMHO is going to be hard to beat because Sony showed some exciting stuff and games at the PS4 conference.
Edit: @ Dylia..totally agree and wish I could get my hands on a PS4 right now.
Never bought a console at launch but that will change this year.
Man, these types of articles have been popping up all day. First it was "hurry up with the next gen!" Now it's like "was it to premature". Or, "Does anyone know that the PS4 was announced?" "How much attention did it get compared to a freaking iPhone?"
I swear this site makes my head spin.
Nope but they did force MS to scramble franticly to try and match the power and features of the PS4 and announce it in a few weeks.
Don't answer greenpowerz.He has been droning on and on about how there is no PS4 and it was running on PC and blah blah blah.He has no proof but a bunch of guesses and internet rumors.We heard about the PS4 from the source itself and he would rather listen to the internet ramble on as if they are Sony and know better. The same kind of people that jumped to say Sony's stocks 'plummeted' because it fell 1%. Oh wow that is a puzzler.Here is a thought.Maybe SONY thought that 8 gigs was plenty too or how about the developers they asked thought 8 gigs was a good idea.
Not such a big conspiracy is it.Why did everyone opt to use discs for games after Sony did it.Because it wa a good idea. So what, Sony must do less to satisfy the fanboy crap people keep going on about who is copying who. Who gives a $hit? Sony is using 8 gigabytes of RAM that equals to more RAM for developers to work with. That is a good thing.And you theory that the PS4 does not exist is ruined by the fact that third parties are already going to support it.If Sony didn't have an exact system or time to release it the third parties would never have gone with such a deception. Give me one good reason why Blizzard, the console haters themselves, would go alone with such garbage? Or their investors? Do you think any one of them has time to go alone with such nonsense? If Sony only showed first party or even second party games your insane theory might make a glimmer of sense. But third parties would never go along with a non existent console.They wouldn't have even bothered.
And to add to it stop with the premature announcement. It was the gaming community who kept on going on about how Sony should get the lead out and announce a new console. You have lost all rights to claim that it was announced too early. You wanted it. You got it.
