Many complaints about issues since the Firmware 4.40 update but Sony remains silent.
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 update actually improved the stability for me, have far less crashes now and also the XMB has sped back up for me, so I'm happy with it :)
I'm not implying these people are lying though, as I myself have had FW problems in the past that others didn't have (All video playback disabled was annoying as hell >:( )
I'm sure we'll see 4.41 at some point and then another article about others with problems, its just the way it goes.
EDIT - Though thinking about it, just recently my internet connection does randomly cut out once every so often, but I can't wholeheartedly say that its the PS3 especially with the crappy routers Virgin hand out.
If there are issues, since I haven't had any, why has it taken to long for a story like this to come out about it?
WAT????
i've noticed some performance issues on my current ps3
which i bought two years ago
also Darksiders II froze just the other day...
...is this the reason??? :O
I don't know what firmware I downloaded and installed. But after 2-3 days of that crap FW, my Ps3 stop working. When i press the on button, it turn into green (like always) but after 3-5 sec it turn off. And now its in service center and after 1 week, I am waiting for my console. By the way its super slim model (I have 1 slim too, and that beast never give me any hicups or trouble) http://tinypic.com/r/ubihu/...
Here is copy of my Job Sheet, I knew that most of people not gonna believe me. And I bought it on 19-11-2012 and that stupid sony executive entered 2011. I am a gamer not a employee of sony/XBox. If any console will give me shit then I will admit it in public.
Lol nope. From working in a retail store, that happens to be in a town of a majority of Playstation owners, I can say without a doubt that every single one of these articles over the years are absolute bullshit.
We have the kind of customers who always came back over the littlest of things because they know that I know how to sort them out, be it a PS3 freezing or whatever. And nobody's PS3 ever had a problem after just installing a FW. Its completely absurd and fabricated shit.
