Sony will likely hold off revealing the PlayStation 4 price and launch date until after E3.
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.
They already given a price point 399.99 and an Oct./Nov. Launch. The retailers will be atr3 so they have to announce something.
I hope not, I want a price and a release date. if anything Sony is handling this the exact same way they did with the NGP on PS Day, which turned out to be the PS Vita + Pricing/Launch revealed at E3.
The longer sony waits to announce the PS4's price the more people will become impatient, lose interest and opt out for another console.
Makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if withholding the price is also just a way of hedging their bets. If Xbox hype falls flat and everybody's chomping at the bit for PS4 come Gamescom, why not announce a slightly higher price than you might have otherwise. If things are looking more competitive, you can slash it before it even hits the shelves to gain an edge.
The article makes sense, but I'm guessing that if the price is $399 like rumors suggest, they'll let us know @ E3.
If it's $400+, people will be less interested, in which case it may be better to wait till Gamescon or a Sony event similar to February's, after E3.
But if the price is $399 (or less) it makes sense to let people know at E3 so pre-orders can start flooding in. Otherwise, I think a lot of people might hold off until they get an official price.
I'm sure they'll still have games to show after E3 as well, to tide us over till launch and keep the hype going.
