"Each day this week our writer Vaughn will be putting up on article about one particular level, place, moment, in a game that’s really captures the titles essence, but because of this there could be spoilers ahead. It’s called Levelling Out, and it starts today with WipEout 2048.
"There are numerous games set in fictional future worlds. Worlds covered in high-industry smog, worlds containing gleaming skyscraper canyons, worlds draped in Blade Runner’s neon haze and Brazil’s 1940s futurism. Some worlds are designed as gloomy totalitarian Orwellian nightmares for you to carry out swift justice against the state in the name of the people. WipEout, however, never dealt with issues so petty as story and setting – at least, not in the same way. It presented a world purpose built for racing. A future where racetracks reigned supreme and the world watched in awe at the action found within anti-gravity racing.'

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.
