Quantic Dream, a studio you may know for its creation of Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls (featuring DAFOE!!) and also an unannounced PS4 title, is a strange company. Why am I calling them strange? Is it that they make unique games? Is it that they focus on emotion and characters? Is it the French accents? No to all, I am calling them strange because they are exclusive to Sony.
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.
Because Sony is not putting any pressure on them to do things they don't want to. It's all about the quality of the games and they know that working with Sony is the guarantee that they will be able to express their creativity without boundaries. A guarantee they may not have with other publishers.
sony is giving its developers enough freedom(see team ico)
Sony and Microsoft Exclusive
maybe because other consoles makers wouldnt support their games and sony likes pushing into many different genres
Sony does not turn their developers into franchise machines.
