WC: With Sony’s recent unveiling of the PS4 and some of the titles that’ll be in its catalog, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a successful PR event. After the single most competent press conference Sony has thrown in years, one filled with tech specs, new console features, and games, who wouldn’t think that the PS4 is going to be the greatest thing ever (aside from the PC “master race”)?
But as all gamers know, what we’re promised isn’t always what we get, no matter the intentions of the console manufacturers, software developers, and publishers.
So here are 4 reasons to be wary about the PS4.
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.
No thanks.I'm swimming in the hype and loving it.Unlike most i was pretty happy with PS3 and was in no rush to make the next gen jump anytime soon.But man..Those games..
How smooth the interface is going to be.No more 2-3 seconds when you push the home buttom in-game anymore.Just BAM and you're there.Can't wait to see it more in depth.
Buy into the hype? I'm chuggin it like kool aid
Even without showing the console itself this may be Sony's best console reveal ever.
Look another negative article about Sony. Anyone starting to notice the trend? Sony releases specs, services, and games but all we get is negativity from the gaming press. I have seen a lot of pointless articles get approved last night about Sony with no filter, but an actual article about a game gets failed for being a duplicate. 50 blogs with no nice things to say get approved.
how pathetic it could get is just surprising .
the ps4 isn't fully unveiled yet there is a lot of critical features sony didnt speak about on purpose because microsoft are watching as we know
sony did an amazing job announcing hyping without providing everything for the competition to counter on later how was that bad its called strategy
btw that guy is a nintendo fan as i knew from a previous article if i wasnt mistaken .
also i know that the xbox is an american product but that doesnt mean Americans should support it because it didnt deserve to be supported the way they did why look at the playstation sales in the rest of the planet to know why
should the best be recognized
Someone needs to make a list of all the sites making "PS4 Doom" articles (especially including all those no name sites that popped up yesterday) and see what those same sites have to say once Microsoft announce their next console.
Doom articles across the board are getting out of hand. There was even one posted by Goldman Sakks yesterday, and they were one of the companies that was so successful that they needed the government to give them money so they wouldn't fail.
