PS2 emulation on PS3 systems was removed after the first generation of PS3 systems, which didn't stop Sony from releasing PS2 Classics on the PSN Store later on. This seemed understandable since removing PS2 compatibility cut manufacturing costs in the then expensive PS3 system. However, it appears some individuals have been able to run modified versions of PS2 ISOs on their hacked PS3s. If this were to be true, it would mean Sony had deliberately chosen to block PS2 games already owned by users from their PS3 systems.
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 will have it hard to get approved with the many Sony fans on this site, but it appears to be true. Shame on you Sony. -__-

They weren't honest but I'm sure people will continue to ignore the fact like sony can never do wrong. They love money and profits just like any other corp.
There is a reason why you see all these HD remakes from the PS2 days on the PS3. Instead of providing the emulation, like what Microsoft did to most their best selling games, making HD remakes to make a few extra bucks is a smart way to do business in Sony's part. Now, if the situation was reversed and Microsoft is the one releasing these HD remakes, they will be called unethical and "not care for the core gamers" etc.
To this day, I am able to play Ninja Gaiden, Halo 1, Halo 2, Jade Empire, KOTOR 1 and II, Fable, Forza, GTA Collection, NFL @K5, and a slew of my other original xbox games without any issue.
There are hd re-makes/collections/re-releas es on the xbox as well. Nintendo has it, even ps2 has it.
The thing is, ps3 gamers are asking for remakes to be made.
They have a huge list of remakes to be made. But sony is not going to make all of them.
Its not just sony who makes these remakes.
And again, nobody cares except xbox fanboys.
Ps3 was there w BC and its still there. Nobody 'removed' it from the ps3 that sony said there will be BC for.
With the slim, sony never implemented it from the beginning.
If u wanted a BC ps3. Go buy a phat ps3. The one that comes w it.
Sure every corporation lies, even the president lies, but I care about 'actions'. So far, out of all the liars, sony's actions are more desirable than their counterparts. From the core gamer perspective that is. Depending how u interpret core gamer.
