Sony's PlayStation Meeting and PlayStation 4 reveal was the most exciting event in recent gaming history, and not just for our first glimpse at Sony's next-generation software. Burning questions we had about the controller--now officially dubbed DualShock 4--were almost entirely answered as Sony announced the redesign, showed off new features, and released high-resolution photos.
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.
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.
DS4 also has a 3.5mm Stereo Jack. :)
Is there anyone who doesn't perceive that they will like it? There were a lot of fans who thought that the DS3 controller was perfect, and did not want any changes. But this controller's ergonomics, size, sticks, triggers, and handles are all different.
Personally, I can see the problems people had with the DS3, and think the new controller really accentuates DS3's problems, or at least shows that the Dualshock 3 really had places that have benefitted from the new changes. I can't imagine ever going back, as the DS4 really looks infinitely better. I'm excited to get my hands on that more than actually seeing the console
That latency improvement is what has me the most excited. I love the new form factor too.
I don't like the concave analog sticks,I preferred them more round as you can use more of the stick rather then just the edges.
The one thing I hope they improved upon is the D3 and R3 sensitivity, I always would accidentally press it some times like in COD or other games, other than that it looks awesome
