AG from EGMR writes: "Sony put on a fantastic show at E3 2015, of that there is little doubt. The huge announcements came one another and the crowd was in such awe that even Uncharted 4’s technical difficulties could be overlooked.
Sony often gets the job of closing up the frenzy of conferences which starts with Microsoft and with full knowledge of this there’s almost a pressure on them to grab people’s attention after several long hours of conferences. This year Sony played to that in the most extreme sense and if E3 is all about smoke and mirrors then for two hours Sony became the embodiment of E3."
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 watch E3 for crazy surprise game announcements. This is what Sony gave. Call it what you want, the hype is real and it's a great feeling. Besides, there are plenty of games to get through 2015, don't really see myself finishing all of them by the end of the year anyway.
Sony's E3 was fire!
Oh please. E3 is a trade show. It exists to let presenters woo and win business. And you guessed it, the business is the gamers.
I don't want to say Sony won E3, because it starts a never ending cycle of hate. But, I want to say they really made a big impact on the gaming community that day.
more like sony revealed what was behind their curtain of awesomeness.
for me, personally, MS had a great show, but sony had a slightly better one.
in the end, gamers win all round regardless of which console you own.
what awesome game announcements did ms show?
