Sony has technology and game line-up on its side, says EA's Gibeau
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.
For both Sony and Nintendo sack lets hope it does well. They have both invested a lot in mobile gaming. If the vita doesn't do well I can see a lack in a successor from both parties.
The reception and general buzz from gamers and critics has been stronger for Vita, for sure.
It's looking to influence the future of portable gaming with its innovative features, flexible development framework and high-end production values through the impressive hardware. With the 3DS... I just haven't heard people talking about things like that.
Don't get me wrong, the 3DS is a great handheld, and some of the games look great so far, but all it seems to be is the same DS with better graphics and an addional 3D effect that people seem to be complaining about. There's less excitement about the device aside from remakes such as Snake Eater and Ocarina of Time.
How the Vita will do on the market is another thing, but as a modern portable gaming device, Sony has hit a home run. Developers are noticing this and so are gamers.
Looks like Nintendo will once again lose 3rd party support but still have a strong first party lineup for the 3DS. I myself prefer buying the Vita.
The only thing that could save the 3DS is Mario. But then Mario could probably save any system. A good Mario game that is.
Nuff said.
But I guess they'll label this guy a fanboy for stating the obvious.
Sony has been handing free kits to the indies and made the platform extremely easy as well as afordable to develop for.
This is on top of everything else they got going on with their network intergration and what such a thing brings to the table.
I said it before and ill say it again.
Its not the same, things arent the same anymore so dont bring history into it.
