Before E3, rumors started to swirl that Sony was teaming up or buying a cloud gaming service like Gaikai or Onlive. It didn't happen and this is why.
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 thought Sony only got a deal late last or early this month. I don't see why announce it then.
BTW Gaikai/Online if it were announced could have been a huge thing for PS Home during E3. Imagine being able to play those demo's at those virtual booths.
A reason why people should take rumors with a grain of salt. There's still more of E3 so who knows what still awaits us but who knows maybe like Nintendo, Sony will hold a second conference this time focusing on Vita and announcing cloud gaming.
This rumor can still be a reality. Maybe Sony & whoever they are dealing with are still ironing out the agreement.
You do not want to announce something & the system does not work. Once they get the cloud service up & running on both platforms for Sony & whoever than they can reveal it.
Did anyone consider the possibility that this is for the PlayStation 4?
Maybe it will launch on PS4...and also for Vita. :)
Wishful thinking, anyway.
to throw some fuel to this fire, Gaikai is making their official announcement tomorrow. We will see then. However I do find it odd that clicking on the link now takes you to a 404 page. Opening their mouths too soon?
