Non Specific Action investigate how Sony could change the way we game since their acquisition of Gaikai.
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.
1. Next gen on current hardware
That would be nice if that was even an option. You want to send me next generation games via streaming. Imagine the bandwith I would need to stream Star Wars 1313.
2. Previous content made accessible
I think this is what will end up happeneing and allowing PS1/PS2 games to be streamed will be huge for their push to mobile.
3. Higher storage capabilities
Higher hard drive spaces should be included anyway. Next generation should have a 500GB minumum.
4. Cheaper games
I really do wish but let's be honest here they allow their games to be sold at $60 on digital months after release. What in the world?
5. Death to updates
I would expect a lot of update to servers and service if steaming was mainstream.
6. Cheaper consoles
Under the assumption that the entire console will be streaming which is crazy and that notion should never be brought up again.
7. TV gaming
I think that would be a very smart move for Sony. Do it!!!
8. Portable gaming
Only really suitable over Wi-Fi but would be really good to use for mobile phone devices if they have unlimited data.
All of these points are with the assumption that their entire video game business goes cloud based and that is just wrong. It is an option and we consumers love options.
Seems like the alternate accounts are out in full force today. I've seen JBSleek and headinthecloud in every Giakai article downplaying it lol.
You two know that Sony isn't going make their current gaming system (Ps3) or future system (PS4) just a streaming based console. They learned their lesson for going 100% digital with the PSP go. Also, Gaikai can be used for more than just streaming games, it can also be used to stream movies, television shows, and music.
Sony wins again. I think Microsoft are going to have trouble topping this.
Sony already did revolutionise the gaming industry with the PlayStation.
