XMNR: On Sunday, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter revealed some of what Sony has planned for this year's E3 press conference on June 4 and it should provide a stark contrast to Microsoft's multimedia entertainment focus for the Xbox 360. He also thinks the PS3 is in for another round of price cuts despite recent financial disclosures that pointed to the last console price cut as part of the reason for the company's losses.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
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 main focus @E3 should be the Vita since it really needs the software support
I hope they show some new games for PS Vita. Now a God of war for Vita would make my day!!! Or atleast Killzone for vita since thats what im looking forward to the most :D
"Analyst: Sony will focus on games at E3"
Mind = blown I thought they were going to talk about shoes.
I love how Pachter has lost so much credibility, that the writer decided to go with "analyst" instead of Pachter in the title. Ok, I know that's probably not why he did it, but can you imagine?
the ps3 is doing fine.... some new psn and retail games would be cool and all
By the time E3 hits the thing should've crossed 2 million...
memory card price cuts by at least a 1/3
Bundles.... wifi/ 4 gig card 3g/8gig card
games games games.....
killzone vita
madden 13 vita
nba 2k13 vita
bioshock vita
call of duty vita,
ps one classics patch,
final fantasy 10 hd release date
i was skeptical about vita at first but this thing could be so much more and a huge success with the right vision
