The PS4 system enables game developers to realize their creative vision on a platform specifically tuned to their needs, making it easier to build huge, interactive worlds in smooth 1080p HD resolution. Its supercharged PC architecture – including an enhanced Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and 8GB of GDDR5 unified system memory – is designed to ease game creation and deliver a dramatic increase in the richness of content available on the platform. The end result for players is an abundant software library, as more than 180 games are currently in development.
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.
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.
funniest thing is I look at my launch 60g ps3 and my ps4 and I'm like wtf.
I know Sony will come good and the ps4 is a really good console but I look at the four USB sockets on my ps3,its backward compatible, it's got card readers.. ps4 hasn't got any of these and I can live without that it's not a deal breaker BUT..
not being able to read hard drives, stream my movies or mp3s is just unforgivable and should have been in the first update from Sony. to still not have that is ridiculous that's why my ps3 is staying put.
Reading external hard drives and dlna support will come soon via a software update. I understand where you are coming from with the backwards capabilities; which are also said to come via a future software update and the launch of the Gaikai streaming service.
More than anything, Sony wanted to get the console to market problem-free (as best as possible), so several features we had on PS3 were cut for the launch. Just as with the PS3, time and a couple of software updates later, we will be wondering what all the fus was about in the beginning.
I would love a Vita/PS4 bundle to come to Canada. That's what I'm waiting for.
Yeah 8 now. 10 when uncharted and the order land in your face!
I love the PS4 so far, Sony fixed most of the things I didn't like about the PS3.
That being said, I've found a unexcusable flaw when comes to Blu Ray movies, there's no reason Dolby or DTS shouldn't work with movies. It's really starting to piss me off. Works fine with games and Streaming, but it won't work with BR movies. How can something like this be overlooked?
