What do Halo: Combat Evolved, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and God of War II have in common? They are all a part of the latest trend in the gaming industry: re-releasing titles from previous generations with updated HD graphics.
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.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
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.
A Halo: Combat Evolved remake hasn't been announced yet.
It's been heavily rumored, however.
Wonder if they'll release a Halo Trilogy HD remake for PS3?
It depends if the fans think it's worth the money
e.g. You can buy the 3 pop games for £3 each so you can get the trilogy for £9
Now the HD trilogy is £18 so for £9 more your getting trophies for all 3 games and upgraded visuals to make the games more appealing to the eye. It just depends whether or not you think the extra £9 is worth it or not.
Of course you can argue that due to all new ps3's not having backwards compatibility they are forcing you to buy these remakes, however I believe a lot of gamers who still enjoy playing the older ps2 games will have kept their ps2... Sure some may have traded theirs in when they bought a ps3 (I know i did) but even with my backwards compatible ps3 at the time i personally barely touched any ps2 games, not now games of this gen looked and played so much better.
These HD remakes imo offer nostalgic gamers the chance to reply games or play games they missed the first time with pretier graphics and trophies so I can only see the advantages to gamers
If gamers are calling for HD remakes of certain games (which they have been) then I don't have an issue with it. It'll become an issue when the publishers start running out of popular franchises to update.
