In the race for next generation console domination, it's hard to find fault with Sony's PlayStation 4 launch campaign so far. A low price of £349 RRP coupled with assurances of user privacy, no restrictions on pre-owned rights, and an open platform for developers to publish their games has done wonders for winning over audiences.
Admittedly, a lot of the announcements since the initial February reveal have capitalised more on what rival Microsoft has done wrong - or been perceived to have done wrong - than what Sony has necessarily done right. Yet there's no denying the upcoming console carries with it an air of maturity and confidence,
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.
I'm taking the week off from work.
They need to update the article a bit to remove Watch Dogs and DriveClub from the launch games list. Other than that I can`t wait for the console to come out :)
