It's widely rumoured that the upcoming PlayStation Meeting will be focused on the announcement of Sony's next console, likely the PlayStation 4. TheSixthAxis' Kris takes a look at why he's not all that excited at the prospect.
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.
I'm looking forward to it, but I agree. I get far more interested and excited over new games and IP. It'd be nice if the Sony event on the 20th showcased some new games we could expect on the PS4, but I doubt it'll do much more than you've said - show off some tech demos.
"Why The PlayStation Meeting Doesn’t Have Me Excited"
Party Pooper.
think of the PS4 reveal as step one, step two being the games, the reason I'll be getting a PS4 is for the games (obviously). Just curious how many existing franchises will be amongst the next-gen revealing & how mahy new IP's will also be amongst them.
Expecting fairly few games if any at all on the 20th, I think that's what Sony will have E3 focused on, we'll likely see game teasers & console tech videos showing us some of the fancy new perks.
just a little while left to wait, Truly excited for this!.
Well since the teaser said See the Future, im expecting to see new psvita game announcements, Gaikai and of course the ps4.
Suit yourself! Im highly excited and wont be a bit disappointed if instead of Ps4 they show what theyve been doing with Gakai. Either one for me is the future of the Sony brand and they go hand in hand so im excited.
This gen of consoles has gone too too long and im dying to see some new information. Once that information is revealed and i can drop a hundred or so on a pre order ill be happy and waiting as i play killer games like TLOU, GOW Asc and Beyond as i kill the time.
i just farted.
