Sony's share prices dropped today by 11% on the heels of another quarterly loss. This is the biggest drop for the company since 2008.
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.
just more and more bad news about this industry today ):
Poor poor Sony, with all the talk of ps4 I figured their shares would go up, Guess Sony is still a sinking ship.I really hope all 3 companies can get it together and get the Industry growing again. maybe if there wasn't the idiots blind loyalties to to buying one companies machine and dogging the others the industry would continue to grow. don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with favoring one machine over the other cause I make it clear i favor my 360 over the rest of my consoles but at least I own them all. There have already fan boys who just wrote the 720 off in favor of the ps4, but I really have to ask why? I plan on doing the same thing next gen as this gen and that is to own all 3 consoles.
Sony should just quit the tv business or find a way to lower the costs and price competitively to Samsung and LG( LG which make crappy and poor build tv's but price point is everything with the economy being in the dumpster). Sony is now firmly in the black though which is a good thing and is sure to post a profit in Q4, and the Xperia Z seems to get alot of positive response and hype.
Its taking time for Kaz to turn the company around after Howard Stringer but if anyone can do it is him, the man has a vision and Playstation is a keystone to that which is good news for gamers.
PS3 is gonna have a killer year compared to 2012, the game's industry in general is gonna have a much better year, then the very lackluster 2012. Which only had a few remarkable title's in Journey,Walking dead,Far cry 3 and Dishonored there are more but not many.
No surprise the company as a whole is still in the red. Kaz said that the playsttion division whould save them but PS3 and Vita sales where lower than expected. Showing the ps3 still trailing the 360 by over 1.5ml and vita having its sales forcast cut again by 3ml.
If the PS4 doesnt take off it could be even worse news for Sony
