Once upon a time consoles were self-contained, and while a self-contained console was never going to be able to achieve Sony's vision here, I have to wonder whether this new console is going to be worthwhile for people who don't have the extra devices and speedy Internet they're going to need to get the most out of it."
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 wondering this myself. Pricing will be a huge factor and seeing that it's up there with high-end PC's just about, and the fact thyat it comes with a Camera I'm just wondering how much. SO buying this.;
Should be cheaper than a comparably-spec PC as they are going to made money through other means.
Well, this is one gamer that won't be missing out.
I believe that rumor that some Japanese newspaper & others have suggested that the basic model i guess will be around 400-450. With a premium one more towards 499.
This conference showed how Sony learned from past mistakes. Making a system with the developer in mind, a happy developer will mean happy gamers. They look like they streamlined their online with Gaikai leading the charge. Everything points to that Sony is not gonna pull a 599 stunt again. They will take the hit & make it back in software & online subscriptions.
This is a different Sony under God...i mean Kaz & i am convinced that it will be affordable.
Its either going to be too expensive or Sony will take a massive loss, likely making them go bankrupt. Either way no one wins,
