Total Revue:
"This year's E3 was all eyes on the next-generation consoles as getting the right message worldwide and the execution were as important as ever. The conversation around them will span further than after the event has finished, right up to when the new consoles launch.
However on Sony's side, for how the PS Vita is also a part of the whole ecosystem with the PS4, they sure failed miserably for Vita owners - here's why."
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
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.
The vita is good just wish there was more games on it .more rpgs .
I was slightly disappointed tbh, they said they were bring ps vita games at e3 and the only one they said can be played elsewhere except for killzone. Hopefully they include crossbuy via patch or something on those ps3 ports.
Didn't anyone see that Kotaku video? Sure the Vita didn't get any screen time in the conference, but there were a lot of games playable on the showroom floor.
Making games for the Vita do not happen overnight like a lot of people think, this is not the 3DS where the specs are far less capable thus games are made quicker. The console like architecture of the Vita takes more time & most importantly a higher budget.
I am not worried about all this 'no games' talk about the Vita. People & most importantly journalists just aren't looking hard enough at the big library the Vita already has. The problem is there is just no so called 'system seller'.
Don't blame the handheld, Blame the Devs/Publishers.
I'm selling mine :(
I don't want to but I'd rather sell it for something I'd get more use out of. I will buy it again probably in a couple years once it's cheaper. Really excellent device, but it needs more games. Hope it does well in the future.
