This week on Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel and RJ break down some of the latest developments shaking up the gaming industry. They discuss Hideo Kojima’s growing relationship with Xbox, Microsoft’s patent involving in-game advertising, Playstation Tap To Pay Patent On Controller and the possibility of Binge x Destiny making an unexpected comeback.
Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions are strengthening their relationship with Xbox. After joining forces on the ambitious horror project OD, the two companies are expanding their partnership, with Xbox now set to publish Kojima’s upcoming action-espionage title, PHYSINT. The collaboration will also stretch beyond gaming into film and television, marking a significant new chapter for Kojima Productions and Xbox. (Via Source: Xbox Wire )
Sony is exploring a new way to make purchases on PlayStation more seamless. A recently published patent describes technology that could allow players to tap a credit card, smartphone, or gift card directly against a PlayStation controller to transfer payment information to the console. The concept could make buying games, DLC, and other digital content faster by reducing the need to manually enter payment details. The technology could also be used for transferring account information and other data between devices. (Via Source: Tom Hardware )
Microsoft is exploring a new approach to advertising inside video games. A recently published patent describes a system that could identify natural breaks in gameplay—such as loading screens, completed missions, cutscenes or the end of boss fights—and temporarily pause the experience to display promotional content. Players could then receive additional uninterrupted playtime after viewing an ad. While the patent offers a glimpse at how Microsoft is thinking about ad-supported gaming, it does not confirm that the system will be introduced on Xbox or PC. (via Source: Tech Spot )
Just when it looked like Destiny 2 was reaching the end of the road, Bungie has changed course. After previously announcing the end of active development, the studio now says it is “not done with Destiny” and has revealed plans to restore vaulted campaigns, destinations, and raids for all players.
