Drew Bergmark of Original-Gamer.com: I don't think the 'Playstation 4' will come out in 2013 for several different reasons which all of them include the concurrent success of the Playstation 3.
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.
this article makes some valid points but i disagree. i think Sony isn't going to want to make two launches in a row as the last one out of the gate. also it seems from all the rumors microsoft and sony will be vary close in specs so im sure any longer time waiting wont give any advantage on the tech side to sony. especially when it comes to specs and cost ratio, no way is sony in this american economy going to launch a system with significantly better specs than the nextbox, they just can't afford a high launch price when they know the nextbox is targeting that $350-$399 sweet spot. so i think that whole, "we'll let microsoft announce their console first" is all marketing and competitor talk just to get hype and throw jabs at microsoft's marketing team.
next are the games, most exclusives for the playstation 3 are going to out buy summer 2013, any other announced exclusives with no release date (last guardian) most likely slipped into the launch window of the playstation 4. also i would bet that with all the HD remakes of past playstation exclusives, any playstation 3 exclusive titles shipping later in 2013 will be ported as playstation 4 launch window titles.
lastly the different system bundles and playstation 3 models are telling me they want to go after as many late adopters BEFORE the playstation 4 announcement. they did a similar thing back with the playstation 2 slim. i think this is sony's last stand in big sales with playstation 3 before the steady decline aer the playstation 4 announcement and launch. the only other marketing gimmick to get more juice out of the system would be a spring/summer price cut, which would make a lot more sense after the inevitable playstation 4 announcement.
the console will launch when its ready
I'm still skeptical about a 2014 release, only beacuse we have no details on games coming at the end of this year and so many games in the first half. Until that happens or we're offically told otherwise im going to go with a November 2013 release.
Based on Kaz Hirai's comment of letting Microsoft announce first, I'm guessing Sony is pretty much ready to show the PS4 whenever. The only way the PS4 will come out in 2014 is if there is a major manufacturing problem that forces them to delay the launch for a few months.
I'm still gonna say it will come out in early November for $399.
i m sick of this next gen blabla
