Sony have finally unveiled the PS4 – wait no, they haven't quite unveiled their new PlayStation console, it's still a mystery as to the aesthetics of the box, though we've been well and truly filled in on Sony's vision for what the PlayStation 4 aims to deliver.
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.
New consoles, roll on. Be interesting to see if Microsoft have a counter to Sony's Gakai acquisition.
I'd take a lot of features with a grain of salt, Jack Tretton said the specs and design were not 100% finished, so anything can change. Remember when they showed off the PS3 with the huge body and all of those ports and the boomerang controller? Things can definitely change from now till November/December.
I get that they said they would roll out the cloud features in phases but I'm curious when. Before PS4 launch so with PS3 too or what? OR after PS4's launch? If so I just want the psvita integration operational at launch. Cloud demos and whatever else can come afterward if they need to work on it.
Make it worth psvita owners' while to upgrade from current gen hardware and you'll have us camping at Wal-Mart for 2 weeks to assure our purchase!
I just imagined a row of people playing playstation vita's outside Wal-Mart. Do it Sony!
*edit: spelling
This is what makes me nervous. Sony mentions the great new features the ps4 will have but that doesn't necessarily mean all these features will be in the box day 1 or even at all for that matter. I really hope everything they showed and mentioned is all there but you never know.
its only a promise until i see a actual console in action
