GB: Kazuo Hirai, president and CEO of Sony, has stepped down as Sony Computer Entertainment chairman
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.
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.

Well since the PS brand doesn't really need fixing like the rest of Sony's products I can see the reason for Kaz to focus on the other problems of the company.
I wonder who will replace Kaz...will it be Andrew House, Jacky T, or Shuhei Yoshida? It will be sad not to see Kaz at E3 to give us memorable quotes but i wish him the best of luck in his fulltime job.
Okay, okay; I'll take his job, Gheeze!

"Ahem: Ridge Racer! RIIIIIDGE RAAAACER!"
Can I have my raise and medal now?
;)
OT: I think since he did such a good job in the games division, they're using him in other places to sure-up the company to keep all of those new stock holders happy and get some good word-of-mouth publicity from investors.
Well, that was quick. Maybe he'll join Namco now and be the Riiiiidge Racer spokesman.
