In a little less than 2 weeks on November 15, Sony will launch the PlayStation 4 in North America. Despite everything that’s going on at the company, Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC for some reason acquired the domain name TakeTheOath.com. According to WHOIS records, the name switched hands this week from its previous owner to Sony. It’s anyone’s guess what “Take the Oath” will be.
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.
We will have to take an oath for our loyalty to PlayStation xD
I already took the PS4 oath when I pre ordered the only console to consistently provide 1080p 60fps!
Something else that Sony will drop in its gaming bag of goodies? I really like the way they can come out of left field.
It could be a marketing push for the PS4 but I think it might be a game. Take the oath sounds more like a plot device/marketing push for a game
Oh the systems launches on my payday! Good thing I just paid it off on Friday. Amazon switched me to the PS 4 DS edition pre-order after Watch Dog was delayed. Probably will take the day off, sell my PS3 for $100, and see about buying a game or two, nothing really I want play or stand out for me yet. I already own BF4 on the PC, probably Madden 25, and Kill Zone if I can get KZ3 ending out of my head.
I get paid a third paycheck this month around the 29th, I think that's Black Friday weekend. Debating on picking XB1 if any in stock, or buying one of AMD 290/290X video cards if manufactures come out with heatsinks.
