So while Sony was busy drawing lines in the sand, Microsoft was giving gamers a voice, Nintendo was finding a new audience (the so called ‘casual gamer’) and indie and mobile gaming were on the rise. By the time the PS3 came out, Sony seemed out-of-date and out-of-touch, with no clear gaming strategy beyond hoping their established fan base would simply throw money at them. Luckily, the newly appointed president and CEO of Sony Corporation, Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai, seems to have lit a flame under this giant’s arse.
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
How was Sony out-of-date with the PS3? Its tech definitely held the most potential. Despite that potential being locked away by it being so difficult to get to. Regardless, yes Kaz Hirai is definitely proving to be just the thing Sony needed. They've been making so many good decisions lately, it's really refreshing to see. Especially with all the indie support they're garnering.
and Sony, always struggling to find its place, is slowly reaching for the hardcore gaming throne that once belonged to Microsoft.
What a load of crap.Sony never left the Hardcore if anything they're the only company who haven't forgotten about us.
Oh yeah, Sony SO learned with the PS4...
Catering to pubs and devs over gamers.
Lacking features such as BC, analog face buttons on the DS4 and reading CD's.
Social features possibly taking precedent over game quality gradually in the long run.
Thinking devs are going to magically support with games because of easier architecture. *looks at Vita*
Tip... of... iceberg...
Sony improved themselves with PS4, ps3 had alot of exclusives , sony did greatly.
I think with the PS3 to us at the time it seemed like they were bloody crazy with the price and their slow but long term plan.....but now it's worked out for them because were coming to the end of this gen and they are the only ones left that still seem to give a crap about core gaming, lets not forget all the good games that still to come despite the PS4 being announced. Nintendo dried up a few years after the Wii launched and Microsoft got greedy and decided to go down a casual focused path totally forgetting about us core gamers.
I mean Sony planned so far a head with the PS3 that if I knew that there long term plan was going to work I wouldn't of even cared about the high price point.
