VRFocus - If there’s a new PlayStation peripheral launching, you can be sure that Sony Computer Entertainment’s (SCE) London Studio will be there to support it. The company created two of the definitive social experiences on PlayStation 2 with it’s EyeToy series using the console’s add-on camera and the SingStar franchise that utilises a pair of microphones. Moving onto PlayStation 3, it delved further into the world of augmented reality with EyePet, adding support for the PlayStation Move controller down the line. In other words, it’s a set of Buzz controllers away from having worked with all of SCE’s add-on tech. It’s of little surprise, then, that this is one of the premiere developers won’t on the Project Morpheus virtual reality (VR) headset on PlayStation 4.
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.
Cant wait to see what they have been cooking for E3. And please give us a release date for morpheus.
So exciting!
Can't freaking wait! Want to know when I can start preordering Project Morpheus, and whether or not they'll change the name like they did with the Vita, also can't wait for Sony's E3 conference, going to be one of the best.
Can't wait to see Sony Londons new game.
