As someone who has sunk a lot of money into my current collection this really annoys the hell out of 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.
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.
Seriously nothing gets to me like finding out your £500 of games cannot be played by your new console. What the hell?
this article is what i was lukin for because even if "always on" and "backward compatibility " feature is a rumor and not a fact still i will not going to buy it bcoz of this..
Can only speak for myself, but BC isn't remotely important to me. I don't buy a new console to play my old games and I keep my old systems anyway.
I'm a PC gamer predominately, so I have a huge back catalog of 'old' PC games and its incredibly rare for me to play anything over a year old and when I do, it's usually because of some MOD.
BC is really important to me.
I don't want loads of machines under the tv. My stand doesn't have room, my TV doesn't have enough HDMI ports, my wall doesn't have enough sockets, and It just plain looks bad.
Now, I sure all you bedroom/basement dwelling games have no problem since, well, your entire lives look cheap and tacky.
But I own a house. I take pride in my surroundings. I don't even like seeing wires exposed around my equipment. I certainly don't want a ton of all hardware cluttering up my entertainment setup.
Also, consoles these days just don't last all that long. here today, gone tomorrow. They are built to cheap. Sony and M$ do not intend for you to be playing them 5 years from now, they expect you to be playing on their next systems.
No one cared about backwards compatibility until the PS2 came around because before that it was unheard of. I see the ups and downs of not having the ability but at the same time just keep your ps3 and 360 it really isn't that big of a deal and companies are not doing it to piss on fans.
