Sony UK boss Fergal Gara has suggested that the firm doesn't feel threatened by the Wii U's Christmas launch, but that Sony will be keeping tabs on the popularity of Nintendo's console far more closely in the new year.
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.
Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.
How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.
It's just backwards.
What your talking about is called block list
In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback
Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.
But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.
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 genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong
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
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Seriously? Maybe if they were selling them at $199, but this is pure bull. I can't probably get a WiiU till tax season next year, not cause i can't afford one, but because of availability. If they launch another system for more than $300 bucks, Ill be playing on my ps3 till the WiiU comes out, and maybe, just maybe I'll be buying a ps4 the year after. There's been like 10 different sku's since the ps3 launched, now they got one that has a sliding door. I a Sony fanboy, but im not gonna pretend that they are doing the right things when they aren't. I could wait till 2014 or 2015 cause by then, all the games I want like a new motorstorm or God of War will be price dropped that I'll beable to get like 10 titles for under $200. I've learned alot this gen. And hopefully most of you did too. Rule #1 that I learned was don't buy games at launch, the price drops almost a month after launch. Rule #2, DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE! THEY ARE JUST VIDEO GAMES!
if theres a $50 to $100 price drop just before release then yea ! just like the 3ds $100 price drop when vita released
Of course not,the WII-U are already most sold out,SONY will still sell well because nintendo dont have product for demand this christmas.
Sony will soon learn that pricing these days is everything.
Sony greatly underestimated Nintendo in Japan,and look were they are now...
Never underestimate Nintendo.
