The creator of Dragon Fantasy Adam Rippon tells his story of how his game made it to Playstation.
Quote
"It's been absolutely wonderful working with Sony. Everything that we need they make it happen, and I can't stress enough that Sony is fantastic. I know I sound like I'm just shilling, they're not paying me to say this. Seriously, it's awesome."
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
With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.
It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.
The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n
This is just another ridiculous double standard article.
It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.
This is why as a gamer I love sony aswell because they show all devs love especially when they are creative & want to try something new sony is open arms to those devs. This is why games like Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Two Souls, The Last Guardian, Journey & many more i didnt add on would "Never" come out on a microsoft console is because they would "Never" spend money on an IP they weren't sure was going to sell. Thank u sony for all these amazing new games u give us.
Im glad small indie devs are showing love to a great company that cares for their fanbase. Not just casual, they care for "All" of them. Take lessons microsoft.
Im suprised to see an article like this on n4g. All ive seen the last two days are "wii U doomed" and "next xbox always online" articles, quite sickening to see same shit like that over and over.
I will be buying this title for the following reasons
1) it looks like an old school FF, which I'm crying out for
2) the fact Sony want it and have chucked money at it. We should encourage them to carry on doing this and you do that by buying titles.
3) the guy making the game seems passionate, like alot of indies. Now don't get me wrong there are still many who can match this passion at one of the big boys. But you just don't see it any more, we need passionate people in the industry and we need them to be vocal.
This says a lot about Sony.
I think there are countless extremely passionate developers out there. It's the publishers who aren't involved with the actual creative process, who usually don't share that same love.
