"With the announcement of the PlayStation 4 almost assuredly coming up in just over a week, Alex can't help but wonder if Sony's games division is actually ready for the next-gen." - Giant Bomb
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
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.
Lets all hope that Sonys new ad agency knows their shit, cause the last one was terable minus Kevin Butler.
God I hate overdramatic articles
Sony have closed studios but many of the employees of said studios have joined Sony's 1st party studios to not only cut costs but to pool talents together...you talk about Sony Liverpool of wipeout fame well they are now part of evolution studios working on a new game that should be revealed on the 20th
you talk about marketing..yes I agree Sonys marketing of some high profile games has been non existant and has hurt the developers but again Sony have cut ties with their previous crap agency and have now signed with the highly successful bartle Bogle hegarty
you talk about ps3 was powerful but that didn't help it reach a wider audience..firstly Sony is past 77million consoles sold which has outsold the competition on a yearly basis WORLDWIDE..and many gamers reasoning and rightfully so in choosing the 360 was not just because it was out the gates early but because it was easier to program for so multiplat games most of the time ran better on ms console..now the ps4 is PC like therefore that is one very big problem solved regarding third party games
your complaining at maybe a $400 price point..again that's a price I'm sure people are happy with its a hell of a lot better than the $600 launch price of the ps3..
its all well and fine writing doom and gloom but back it up with pros aswell as the cons
