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."
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.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
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.
