SCE President Andrew House told Japanese Business paper Nikkei that the 'business model of switching to a new console' every few years is gone.
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 hope it doesn't end up like getting a new console every 15+ years.
why not? In a rush to shell out a ton of money again? I could be happy with 15+ years of a console. I'm happy with the games out now. It's why I've never bought an Iphone. Every 1-2 years, small gimmicky additions to every new version NOT worth the money.
Good, it means we won't see an Apple style business model. "new consoles! This time very slightly changed and it will be out dated in 6 months!"
Bad because its exciting seeing a new console and ill miss that.
New consoles should come out when there is a new leap in tech or the 7 year mark when they can create much better games with updated hardware. Which ever comes first. Think about it, most great games take 2 to 3 years to make so a great studio can only do a couple games a generation.
Just make them backwards compatible so people don't bitch.
