Lens of Truth writes - "PlayStation cases have gone through many changes early in the system’s life. The transition to the common jewel case has a strange history. There were 3 different cases before the standard CD size jewel. For me as a gamer turned collector, the hunt for some of these variations has been sort of a pain."
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
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.
This is an awesome article! I'm also so picky when it comes to my retro case. lol I didn't realize how many iterations Sony has made to their cases
Sony does suck for doing that. I cannot stand when game cases on the same system don't match on my shelf. Even the PS3, why does the spines of Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 have different PS3 logos? Make up you effin mind Sony!
I always find it odd looking at the green cases. I'm pretty sure in Europe or at least the UK we've only ever had the black PS1 cases. All of my games are like that anyway. If this guy wanted to dip into the euro market he'd find pretty much every game in a black case.
I have several games in the old tall cases. I think my Krazy Ivan cardboard case is in immaculate condition. If anyone today even knew what that game was about, I'd try and Ebay it, lol.
I always thought that those huge PS1 game cases were weird.
Thats funny this guy mentions star wars: dark forces 2- Jedi knight, one of my all time favorite games.
I got that game shortly after it came out and it came in the huge box that PC games had back in the day, and it was in a jewel case that had a weird flap that would hold both of the disks with one on each side. I remember hat because disk 2 would fall off the back of the flap all the all the time.
It came in this giant box with the 2 disk skinny jewel case inside
