Sony has been awarded costs of £1,800 against Beijing Elex Technology after successfully opposing the latter’s “Lord of War” trademark application, according to a UK Intellectual Property Office decision.
Sony has been reported to be considering adding adaptive difficulty to all of its games. This feature would likely allow gamers to play more difficult games that usually have a skilled player barrier and also make it so hardcore gamers can get a good experience out of typically easier games.
I don't see an issue. I'm also sure it'd be an option that you could turn off to.
I don't have a problem with it. A number of games do this already depending on your playstyle.
If you can turn it off? Sure. If it's forced, no it's a terrible idea. Imagine wanting a tougher experience but because you die a few times the game lowers the difficulty. That kind of defeats the purpose of the harder difficulty.
A new ad for the PS VR2 sees Sony asking fans if "busting" makes them "feel good," leading to a lot of jokes online.
According to Sony, changes to the launch dates of a "portion of first-party titles" impacted the company's profitability.
We got so many games coming out this year, why even complain? Many games are making their target release date. Sony got some VR games as well coming and a horror survival game this month for PS5
Chasing the live service genre is a huge gamble. If they get one hit that's on par with today's heavy hitters, then the investment will be worth it 100x. But history tells us that a huge % of these titles fail - even ones from established studios with AAA budgets.
Over the last two generations, Sony have excelled in making brilliant cinematic single player games. Those games helped them to be the number 1 publisher for both revenue and profits and by quite some distance. Hopefully the lack of releases recently isn't a sign of the business pivoting to a completely different model because frankly, that'll suck. The current model is both commercially and critically successfully so it doesn't need changing on a whim just to chase the GaaS big bucks! #prayforplaystation
Hopefully that means a packed 2024.
I'm mostly surprised that we still don't even know what their major studios are up to. Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog (single player), Bluepoint, Team Asobi, Media Molecule....
No Sh+t Louise, Delaying a game to the next quarter means that we won't have the profit of that game this quarter like we budget last year!
I'm Glad we have a complete article on the main page explaining these important things.
A company in China attempting to rip off someone else's intellectual property? I can't believe it!... Some cultures are such a joke.
Sounds like an awful attempt at bootlegging
I don't know. I know chinese companies have a reputation for plagarism, but equating lord of war with god of war seems a bit thin. What happens then when Sony wants to make a God of War movie. Will they be sued by lionsgate because it might confuse people about when they own a movie called Lord of War?
I mean. This is a trademark filing and it makes sense to try to block a filing to protect your trademark. Simply because failure to do so will make it harder to do it in the future.
I just don't get why people are acting like trying to trademark lord of war is an actual attempt to plagarize god of war. It would be if the property being published under the title was some kind of bad adaption, but otherwise both terms are generic enough that they can be anything.
typical china.
Here I was thinking of Nic Cage's movie Lord of War lol T_T
