Despite several recent exclusivity deals with Microsoft, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau rejects accusations the company is “tilting Microsoft’s way” and claims unannounced “tactical programs” between the company and Sony will “make things much more balanced”.
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.
They have alot to do if they want to be impartial
Battlefield 4′s Second Assault DLC, Peggle 2, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare and Titanfall.
eventually bringing any of the above (excluding bf4 dlc) to ps4 will not be enough!
"I think the Sony team has executed exceptionally well–and they did not execute particularly well on PS3, whereas last time around Microsoft executed perfectly."
3 years of RROD, putting out a console they knew had issues. But went for the worldwide launch anyway. Thus paying for it literally with over one billion dollars in repairs.
old news, but just wondering if he forgot.
Meanwhile, Sony may have not been prefect. Because they took a chance and gave the gaming world Blu-ray. Which ends up winning the format war. Giving the PS3 games like MGS4. Also all games came on one Blu-ray disc. Even GOTY editions. They gave us a console not only used for gaming. But was used around the world in real life technical applications ( searching for oil in the ocean, building super computers, Folding @ home, etc ). Now here at the start of Next Gen, both Sony and MS are using Blu-ray.
And EA can still kiss my arse
I just don't understand the tactic behind not having Titanfall on PS3 or PS4 though.
Activision understood the importance of having their cash cow(COD) on all platforms as well as their next gen cash cow Destiny.
EA has been wanting to emulate COD sales for ages and Titanfall was that property. Instead they cut it in the knees by not having it on the highest selling HD console this current gen (PS3) and on the future highest selling next gen console (PS4).
I really don't see any tactic behind this. Exposing your hottest new property to as many gamers is the best tactic which is exactly what Acti is doing for Destiny.
So EA, when is PS4 going to get some exclusive content or is M$ still F***ing yall in the a**.
