During and interview with Watch Impress, Kaz Hirai said that people who have already bought the PSP will be able to download digital versions of their titles on the NGP. The only perimeter being that it is within the number of download limits outlined on the PSN.
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.
What Sony needs to go is
1. Talk to publishers
2. Say they'll do ALL the porting
3. Charge 5% if they do the port from UMD to Digital
4. ???
5. Profit
hopefully this time, compared to what happened with the PSP Go, they actually allow this to happen
after they talk to all publishers and get all those PSP games on the PS store, they should open up a website were:
1.you can select all the UMD games you have,
2.pay up a fee to allow your copies to be turned to Digital (it would be cool if free)
3.ship the copies to Sony with a receipt of your order inside (they need proof that you own these games)
4.receive your codes of those digital copies by mailbox, or e-mail.
amazon does this, but the opposite when you sell your used items to them. why cant sony and the these UMD games?
According to almost all the developers that presented at Sony's conference stated that they did all that they showed working on the NGP very fast an easy.
So I am guessing that the NPP is a very developer friendly device.
which means I want a lot of games ported!!!
I am still keeping my physical media because dd is a ripoff and theres no reason to get rid of my 3000
@ below, only someone who understands the value of games and money can understand.
At least go to Metacritic, look at the top 100 PSP games and just make sure THOSE are on PSN. Or let gamers vote for which games they want on PSN and Sony can discuss it with the developers.
