"Nothing says “play me” like the opening moments of a game. They have to be gripping, punchy and enjoyable, providing a snapshot of what you can look forward to playing.
"Not every game manages to do this well though. Some start off far to slowly, relying heavily upon your own interest and drive to push on forward to the juicy meat that the game offers further in.
"Others reveal their goods prematurely, tempting you in with their alluring visuals and – what could be – interesting plot lines. Only to leave you bitterly disappointed just a few minutes later, just like a drunken kebab.
"When you do find that perfect balance though, it’s unforgettable and undeniably brilliant."
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.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
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
Idk about God Of War 3. Bioshock 1 is missing. and I think Half Life 1 should have made it not the 2nd one.
I think the best opening goes to [insert Modern Shooter Game] where the building/plane exploded and I'm thrown into a firefight against terrorists with my fellow Marines.
Final Fantasy VIII.
KHI
God of War games always have amazing openings. I've seen the 30 minute starting gameplay (I'm sorry but I couldn't resist watching) and it looks incredible. Fighting on a monster that has over 100 arms? What other game can you play that has that???
