Push Square: "Sony is supposedly planning to debut a new controller alongside the PlayStation 4. While details about its size and shape are still under wraps, we do have a reasonable idea about what kind of new features the final device will include."
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.
Honestly, none of them really. If I had to pick I would say combine the first and second ones in the article. That said, I'm hoping Sony makes the controller *slightly* larger overall and makes it a more ergonomic. I actually like the idea of a small touchpad on the controller depending on how it's used. For now, just give my concave analog sticks that are a bit tighter and some proper triggers...
I saw one that was just a Dual Shock 3 with the Home, start and select button removed and replaced with the touch panal. I want that.

This one.
I would be happy if they don't change the size/shape of the DualShock and just add a LCD at the place where the Start, Select & PS buttons are at place right now.
The first one isn't bad I just hope to hope itself that they're not going to put a bright flashing distracting screen on there. The little touch patch would be great but please Sony, please don't make it a little screen that glows at the bottom of my field of vision while I'm trying to concentrate on the TV. I get the feeling my plea shall be in vain and that the pad screen will become standard next gen.
If I were to design the touch screen, it would definitely be a removable snap-on/off type that comes standard on the new control pads so as to make the screen bigger but also thinner ( but not so much as to make it break ).
None of those featured are very ground-breaking in design/execution.
