How the PlayStation 4 reveal showed a much more global Sony than we’ve seen before.
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.
This is actually quite a good read. I don't often agree with IGN but I do here. Whether Sony can achieve what is proposed remains to be seen because you can't discount Microsoft who have proven themselves to be a formidable opponent. When all is said and done, I think that parity in hardware and consumer penetration is the best we can really hope for. Negating the mythical console race would perhaps help alleviate any unnecessary friction between the camps.
Here's to a frownless future!
Is it just me or is every corporation setting their sights on "World Domination"
I think if Sony wants to dominate the gaming space they need to conserve cash for 2014 and 2015 because that is when EA looses the NFL and Fifa licenses. If Sony can buy those licenses then they will gain a huge edge over MS. They also need to ensure that NONE of their Movies and Music content is available on MS's console.
Just my opinion but Killzone, infamous and knack are not strong enough titles to even sell a console let alone take over Microsoft.
Wasn't it just yesterday articles were bashing Sony saying they were on the verge of going out of business? Now its "world domination". Lol
I shall help Sony dominate by buying the playstation 4 and most of its exclusive titles.
