Analog Addiction Writes: "Finally! The PlayStation 4 has been officially announced. The Next Generation of consoles is among us, and Sony has set the stage. While many will argue whether the two hour long press conference delivered or not, I am here instead to ask the question, “What about the Vita?” I mean, that is my official title here at Analog Addiction – The Vita Aficionado, or something of that nature…
Honestly, I am a little surprised that there was little to no mention of the Vita at the conference. Yes, the CEO of Gaikai, David Perry, is quoted saying the end goal is to have all PS4 games playable on the PS Vita via Cloud technology from Gaikai. Here’s the thing though, how many times have we been burned with the promises of Remote Play before? Is this different? It does nothing for me until I see actual proof in my hands. Furthermore, we won’t be seeing any of the PS4 titles until the end of the year when the console releases (If Sony sticks to the Holiday 2013 release...
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.
The Vita is in great hands because basically whenever you purchase a PS4 game, your able to play it on the Vita as well.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE PS3? WILL THEY STOP SUPPORT IT?
I think the PS4-Vita connectivity is HUGE for the system. Both systems, really.
Well, the cross-compatibility is a nice side feature. The real question is whether or not it will entice anyone to buy both platforms in conjunction.
It will probably take some time for me personally to get one after the other. That there is a lot of moolah to spend.
"PS4 Announced, But What About the Vita?"
Vita is already announced, problem solved.
