The patents they are selling really have nothing to do with VR gaming. Go check out Jammyhero on YouTube for a more accurate description of what's actually happening.
@BAMozzy I was under the impression they were proposing a,way you could transfer the licence? Enjoyed the conversation in a civilised manner. Appreciated.
Pre ordered. Coincidentally got a few days off around release day. Kids at school wife at work. Hope the postie arrives early. Shame no VR included. Can on pray but cant see it being patched in later. Would happily pay for it.
@BAMozzy Fair point. I think you may have misunderstood the tone of my reply though. It wasn't intended to come across as it maybe did. Hopefully Sony come up with some sort of solution (cant see it happening though) but we dont know what their plans are if any as their communication has been practically non existent.
@Mald Again that's fine if that's how you feel. It doesn't need to be this all out war between people that want to retain ownership rights or permanent access and those that dont really care either way. If the folk that dont care either way, why get so agitated about it? Im generalising here. Not having a go at you specifically.
@Stonecold730 If that's how you feel then fine but there are games that have been delisted and unplayable. Not many, granted. Just the fact that that's a possibility is enough for me. Like I said my bigger point is consumer rights.
@Stonecold730 The main issue is ownership rights permanently. If we get that in digital format then fine. It doesn't have to be a slagging match between physical & digital. Don't get me wrong, i like collecting discs but if we get proper digital ownership then I'll accept that but still peeved off.
Really looking forward to this. Shame no VR support. Can.you get the bonus game if you pre-order physical edition. Not wanting to start a digital v physical debate here!!!!
@dskatter Thats fair enough but comparing playing flat games to VR games are totally different experiences as you'll be aware as you've played PSVR1 but I understand your opinion.
@NishimaruX You absolutely cant guarantee that statement at all. Physical buyers are obviously in the minority but they can still both exist alongside each other quite happily. Thats quite obvious when Sony are pushing turntable players π€·ββοΈ
@get2sammyb If people's concerns/protests were all polite and considerate, they would lose any leverage the had. Yes it's unfair that indies are being caught up in the crossfire but imo the blame lays squarely with Sony. Take the heat off everyone else and address tbe concerns directly i stead of spamming and hoping it will go away. Yes Sony made their initial statement when announced, that doesn't mean they shouldn't follow it up with further communication, you know like a company that actually caresπ€·ββοΈ
Apart from the lack of physical media, the long crossover period would also be an issue for me. Similar to this generation. New platform not being fully optimised due to still making games for the previous platform
@Hundred_Hand_Slap probably not as many as the device you used to message on hereπ€·ββοΈ
*Excuse my rude reply......just really pis*** off right now
Whilst I agree with everything you have suggested in this article, i cant see Sony changing anything for the better. They are making record profits just now with their radio silence behaviour. We are enthusiasts mostly on this site and so probably in the minority. If the majority keep purchasing their microtransactions on Fifa, Fortnite etc etc I just cant see Sony changing anything
@Flobbots Right now im totally disheartened. Sony behaviour over the last few years has really ground me down as a gamer (old). There have been a some great high points but the company has changed so much. Maybe it's me that's the problem and im not their target audience anymore.π€·ββοΈ
Great article that nails my sentiment exactly. Been with PlayStation from the start. Own all the main devices, Sadly I'll be bowing out after this generation. Even my kids are peeved off. They are quite proud of the disc collection on display along with there other things they like to collect. βΉοΈ
This shouldn't be an argument about us v them among ourselves ( physical v digital ) both can exist together quite happily. No-one should be celebrating less choice imo π
