Sony's investment in free-to-play console games could be key to the PlayStation maker becoming the dominant player in the home console market once again.
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.
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
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
I think it's how they use the free to play model, will determine how well it works for them and others. I enjoyed DCUO and free Realms, I went to see how it would play out and stayed for the enjoyment of the titles and the amount of things to do in DCUO and the expansion packs makes the game better.
I sure they will add a membership option for those that want to subscribe.
It's already number 1. For gaming anyway.
Seeing how planetside 2 is on the pc and will work on steam box. All sony needs to do is bring it to ps4 and they will be making money from 3 platforms. Cross platform I hope.
They should make ps4 exclusives for ps4 of course and make AAA f2p games on multiple platforms. That would help their profits.
Also I am dying to see what they are doing with gaikai.
Glad they bought them 1 year+ before ps4. should be ready at launch.
Last game I played on gaikai was tera. :)
There was a very similar article recently saying the same thing. And it was about this same topic on free to play games on ps3.
It will take much more than Free-to-play titles to bring the Playstation name to number one again.
What? So does that mean Playstation isn't no.1 I guess we will see but i'm sure all three will have free to play games.
