By releasing games and apps on mobile devices, Sony believes it will be able to increase its reach. "Even if you don't own a PS4, it can be a way to find out what's happening in the PlayStation world," Yoshida said. Specifically referring to the Knack mobile game, he said: "People might be motivated, because they've already unlocked some items, to take a look at what this Knack game on the PS4 is all about."
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.
Well playstation certified devices was the first step. I can see them totally abandoning the handheld gaming market after the PS Vita has been out for long enough time and going down this route (especially when Gaikai releases).
Knack? Sorry but an app is not going to help that game. Sales will be on the lower end of the totem pole for that game.
SONY could branch out and make ports for the XbonE!
Sony just needs go third party already.
