GameSector writes: After tinkering with the PS3, 360, Wii, DS, and PSP for a while we here at Game Sector have decided to take each console and look at what they each do best and what they do worst. Each console will get its on article and we will aim to be as non-biased as we possibly can. All 5 machines are excellent devices and offer unique experiences from one another.
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.
Free online play = WIN
Pay to play online = FAIL
agree with all the points except PSN+ I would say give it time, the amount of PSN games and media content added to PS3 are staggering and it can only make PSN+ valuable, so I would say give it time
win:
fanboy buy sony stuff
gamer buy sony stuff
fail:
psp
ps3
sony
Streaming bluray videos from the PC to the PS3 on the fly via LAN, using the PS3 Media Server = Pure Win.
No fails. PS3 is perfect for all my entertainment needs.
I can watch High Definition movies without using the PS3 bluray drive, I got the best games to play. No problems at all. Everything is great.
For anything else I have my good and old PC, which can be upgraded anytime I wish so.
Why is the PS3 always first to be reviewed in these type of articles?
As to the article, no f'n way is PS+ a fail. And, it's PS+, not PSN+ in the first place.
Anyone who says a completely optional and alternative way to buy games is bad, doesn't deserve to be a journalist IMHO. It's not like it's forced on anyone nor is it the only way to get game-specific content. It's just another way to get your game stuff.
