We already posted a little earlier about the fantastic “sensitive fireman” campaign that Sony is running for the Playstation Move, but after further inspection, Reese, the reader who sent us the links found an interesting page called “Yay Buttons”.
The page is an interactive flash animation that shows only a Move controller and instructions to press a button, what happens after that is a long bout of hilarious fun-poking at Microsoft’s new button-free, controller-free motion sensing device.
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.

its self deprecation as much as anything else, they have already been there seen it.
I think Sony needs to start promoting the Move instead of making websites pointing out the obvious of Kinect not having buttons. Move launches what, like next week? Yet I haven't seen a single damn AD for it anywhere besides in my email or on the Playstation site. Where Kinect has been advertised all over the damn place and doesn't come out for a few more months. This is "cute" and all, but they really need to focus on promoting their product.
Pointing out the complete obvious of a camera not having buttons that's being used to eliminate buttons in a different gaming experience, and a half naked fireman isn't going to convince me to buy Move. Instead show me something that will want to make me put down a standard controller I been using for 16 years to play with this Motion controller.
Looks at iPhone. Looks at iPad. Looks at title. Alrighty then...
LOL this site is so full of win!
