Lens of Truth writes - "As everyone is well aware of by now, Sony’s PSN has been down for nearly an entire month. Since then many arguments and predictions have broken out throughout the world wide web pertaining to the situation. The question is, can Sony recover and how bad are the damages? I want to take this time to evaluate a few things and give my analysis on the situation for everyone to read. I will be covering things such as the damages to PS3 sales and loyalty, how Sony reacted, and how Sony will be able to recover (IF they can recover)."
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.
This was a good read.
MY opinion is that, Sony will be just fine.. You don't get to be one of the largest electronics manufactures and not make a few enemies...
The reality is, because we are human, we will forget this even happened in about 4 months.. Something else in the world will happen and we will be none the wiser. Just like the BP oil spill, U.S torture, Japan earthquake, Haiti earthquake, Blackwater and hell, even part #680 of your favorite video game that gets put out year after year, completely and totally broken, yet we forgive and forget and let business happen as usual.
Sony will spend more money on marketing their brand for the next year that this whole PSN debacle will be forever lost and only found in the confines of fanboyism...
Edited for wording*
As the article listed, the PS3 has so many good exclusives coming out this year so you would be really dumb to jump to the 360.
I'd rather go to a fast food restaurant for free food anytime i wanted than go to a fancy overpriced restaurant with unneeded garnishes.
Sure the food at the fancy overpriced restaurant is better, but all i need is something that will quench my hunger. And the fast food restaurant does it for free.
the minute PSN online,most peeps will likely forget about it all but complainers who aren't satisfied [and will never be,it's just how they are] will make noise daily of it even though they lost nothing but time spent on the service,of which they complained before all this happened.
