Sony won't cut the price of its new handheld in 2012, which many worry could stall its chances of success. With a few big games left in the year and some promising 2013 titles, as well as new indie-friendly programs, can the system pull through?
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.
Speed, Sony.
Sony Needs Speed.
You got the power, right motivations, the right audience, the right gamers, you got the best intentions but you just need speed & agility.
Step On It!
The vita can get out and shine, Sony needs to market it better.... And cut the price just a bit, not on the system, on the cards.
Does anyone see any advertising for the vita anymore??
I see quiet a few vita adds on air in australia. Usually bundled with the release of soccer and nfl games.
I really dont see many ads about gaming in general here. But i thought the borderlands 2 commercials were pretty good. Those go for like a week though and then they are gone. Plus the fifa commercials which always have the playstation logo at the end.
With Kaz Hirai fixing things, I hope he becomes aggressive and take huge steps. He the biggest developers to work on the game, seize up everything that comes along the way. Basicay, do the things Microsoft has done. I don't mean get timed exclusive games and DLCs, or charge for your online service, but to get every game they can. When is Monster Hunter coming back to Playstation? 3 already came out for the 3DS and soon on the Wii U, and Monster Hunter 4 is coming exclusively to the 3DS. The Vita might get MH4 on Vita as MH4G, same as MH3 on 3DS, but Sony definitely needs it back ASAP. Megaman Legends 3 might be dead on 3DS, but revive it on Vita, on a Playstation console like the last two, at least. Sony needs Capcom's support on Vita. And what happened to FFX on Vita and PS3?? Sony only has like a 10% (maybe even less than that?) stock share on Square Enix, but can't they tell SE to hurry on that project or something?
I like Sony and all, but all I want is for them to be a bit aggressive on their gaming side. Try to get every game you can, MARKET them (something they are LACKING this gen), and be lenient on the developers, by letting them take their time, but not wasting TOO MUCH time.
