Amazon UK's Keta Patel may have had glowing words for Nintendo, but he had a different tune for the Playstation Vita. In his words, the console is 'struggling, absolutely, in terms of the market segment.'
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.
(gets handed the money under the table)
"Oh yes, Nintendo will do wonders this year and succeed. Sony and their Vita unfortunately didn't GIVE me enough ENCOURAGEMENT to say that they will improve."
Next thing he's gonna tell us is that a console using under par specs but called a next gen system is going to surpass the PS4.
what would you guys do to fix this? i honestly think a bit more promotion and games like borderlands 2 and promoting that would help, but yeah this is kinda sad..
Vita sales are on the rise, not sure which list of titles the above user saw but I saw a lot of new games that were'nt just ports coming to vita this year. Also when games get simultaneous releases on Vita/PS3/PS4 why is it considered a port towards the Vita?? Many of these 'ports ' are actually a better experience on the handheld.
I'm loving my Vita since the very first day I bought it and played Gravity Rush. Finished Sorcery Saga yesterday and I just got home from work rushing everything to be able to start Ys tonight. Then, after it, I'll have to find time to play Virtue's Last Reward, Atelier Meruru Plus and Tearaway before they release FFX-2HD, Toukiden, Kagerou, Mind Zero and many other games!
Really, I don't give a damn to what people say about it, I'm having lots of fun with my non-considered-system-seller-g ames, probably more than people who only wait for the same games to release every year: cod, bf, gta, ac, halo.
