Fernando Da Costa writes: As most of you know; after a very rocky start with the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo executives were forced to take a major salary cut because the 3DS needed a price cut. Since the price cut; the 3DS sales have been picking up, a lot of it is due to the fact that worthwhile software is being released for it, finally. Now, the price cut for the 3DS happened about 3-4 months after the device was released to the public, matching the same life span of the Vita currently. Because the Vita is suffering the same ill fate, analysts have suggested, along with me, that Sony take a price cut to their device and take their losses.
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.
I don't think Sony is doing to bad with Vita, heck I would say they are doing better with it then PSP Vs DS.
I don't care for the 3DS seeing how the only really thing it has going for it is the 3D, plus I wonder why Nintendo hasn't been coming out with much games for it. That new Pokemon C. game isn't even 3DS, its just a DS game that you can play on your 3DS.
Vita is awesome, the only thing that's stopping me from getting one is my a. students budget and b. its battery life.
The Sony Solution is what it's pretty much always been: games.
Drop the price of the memory cards and the Vita itself and I'm in.
