As downtime for Sony's PlayStation Network lingers on, Gamasutra sources report that Sony has asked some developers to install new SDKs on their PlayStation 3 devkits prior to the service coming back online.
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.
Seriously? No way they'd wait that long. I fully expect it to be back up and running by Friday the lastest. Or at least I hope so. I mean two weekends? No way
Finally some real information, instead of "Sony breached blah de blah", "Sony in financial trouble", "analyst says Dr Evil wants 1 trillion dollars from Sony"
Atleast we know things are moving along swiftly, and i assume if Sony are providing new SDK's, we cant be far from the PSN being switched back on.
That's all I want, I want PSN back. Virtua Tennis is releasing this week, C'mon Sony, your advertising it like mad here in the UK with the PS Move!
lets get it on!
ALRIGHT!! ALREADY get it back WORKING!!! gaming and complianting again as usual.
Isn't every PS3 game going to need an update? That sounds like a lot of work. I was just thinking that could add to the PSN down time as well.
Im not sure what the "rubuilding of PSN" entitles. Will it have anything to do with better internet connections? Will games have less lag? We all know were going to be more secure thats for sure. Not that there was a lot of lag before, just an improvement would be sort of like a blessing in disguise. You smell me? Think positive.
Also I was thinking im not too worried about the credit card information possibly being stolen. I dont think the hackers hacked the PS3 for credit card info. I think think they did it just to abuse SONY. They did an outstanding job of that.
Cant wait to see my PSN friend list populate with all my buds on SOCOM 4.
