I can’t speak for shooters, but early PS3 controllers didn’t have rumble because, according to Sony, it would interfere with sixaxis. Therefore rumble is bad. The more generalized explanation is that [feature] is bad until Playstation gets it, then it’s great.

The original PS1 DualShock had rumble. It was the first dual-motor force feedback controller, and the original Analog Controller had single-motor rumble, even though few games supported it, and it came out before the N64 Rumble Pak.

SONY was first with force feedback on console.

The SIXAXIS had no rumble because Immersion was patent-trolling about it and suing everyone, backed by Microsoft.
Once SONY won the lawsuit with Immersion, the DualShock 3 was released.

That doesn't make long term sense. What's stopping someone from simply refusing to pay the ps5 rental fee? Credit? These niggas are judgement proof.

Same way those "Buy Here Pay Here" used car lots work. The "down payment" is really just the actual sale price of the car (i.e. if it was a private party sale, that's what you'd be paying), and every payment after that to reach the "markup price" is pure profit. Even if you vanish into the ether with the car after paying the "down payment," they've still made their money (and in the case of a BHPH lot, they can still try to repo the car and -- if it's in good enough condition upon recovery -- fix it up and sell it again to the next schmuck).

Whatever up front payment is required for a digital rental-focused game machine would cover the physical cost of the unit itself. Unlike a used car, they'd never see the unit back if the renter quits paying before the "term" is up, but as others have pointed out already, at that point they'd have already made it trivial to brick (or made it useless without always-on paid service).
 
As much as I hate Microsoft, I’ll always respect them for releasing games on Steam, a direct competitor to Windows with the Steam Store and Linux. But Sony tuck their tail between their legs when their PC releases started making real money.

Apparently an ex-ND dev has said that Factions was 80% complete and it was cancelled in favour of making Intergalactnig as Druckmans request.

Naughty Dog canceled The Last of Us Online (after 80% completion) because it would force them to go all-in on live-service updates for years, killing their single-player games. They chose to stay a story-focused studio.

It didn't have to be that way though. If the Online was a success, they could hire more people and split the team between those who wanted live services and those who wanted story. Now they have neither.

They have three teams who have produced nothing this gen.
Playstation are desperate to have their own fortnite success and Factions was just that, as fans were calling for the game.

The reason it was knocked on the head because it wasn't lead by druckman and would have over shadowed his Nigs in Space simulator. In the same way that Hulst cancelled all none Horizon games from his studio.

They're both cancer for Playstation and should be fire (into the sun) immediately.
 
According to multiple leaks Heratic Sneed is also about how revenge and war are le bad.

Druckman is more creatively bankrupt than Kojima.

I would instead suggest Druckmann be given the Gunpei Yokoi treatment, being given a small, plain office to do nothing of value in, just to watch the suff videos all day like he forced the artists for TLOU2 do.

He hasn't written a single coherent word since he left Konami.

Death Stranding is incoherent trash.

Be that as it may, there’s at least some soul and creativity it just needs to be tardwrangled (sort of like George Lucas). Druckmann has nothing, he’s enticed with the idea of being seen as a wannabe movie director but has no story/ideas that he cares about and wants to tell, it’s an entirely cynical venture.

It's honestly funnier if they keep burning through cash and tanking their brand.

I never cared for nuSony’s movie games so them shifting to flailing about trying to produce a live-service cash cow has been far more entertaining to me than whatever games they would have been producing otherwise. Though the best outcome would be to go back to how they were in the PSX/2 era but that’s wishful thinking :optimistic:.

That picture of Druckman standing sadly in the cuck corner at the Oscars or whatever as everyone ignored him was fucking hilarious.
