When Sony originally announced the ‘PlayStation Plus’ service, they were criticized for adding a fee to what was known as the free place to play online. Since then, the PSN has become a power house for online play, and the PS Plus has become one of the best services to hit the gaming market this generation. Games like Dust 514, Stark Hawk, or the addictive cake fighting adventure Fat Princess, makes the online offering on the PSN
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.
Ridiculously good value for a cheap bargain.
Rock on, Sony.
Definitely a great value for the price. Recommend it for anyone that loves gaming but can't buy new games every month. The subscription keeps you busy and adds great games you might have missed out in the past.
I was reluctant at the start to get into playstaition plus, but since then ive been able to cancel my gamefly subscription
64 games across 3 platforms in only one year is just really amazing. I went a month or 2 without plus so I could of had more in my download list.
It is a great value, I was skeptical at first, and then used the excuse of not needing to get it (cause I already owned most of what I wanted from it, although I did miss out on Infamous 2). My wife and kids got this for me just this past father's day, and I can honestly say it is a great value (especially the PSP/Vita offerings for me), and the account works across multiple devices (soon to include the PS4). I definitely plan to keep my subscription up to date, and can't wait to see what is to come.
