Kaz Hirai may have swiftly responded to the public demand of a PlayStation 4 announcement by saying “Why launch first when other companies can copy our tech and specs?”, but PS4's announcement completely contradicted that last week when Sony finally unveiled to the world what their plans were for the future of their hardware.
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.
these is no contradiction to Kaz statement.
No console was even seen nor launched.
Sony moving before MS was in no way a bad move, they have great 1st party titles and do arguably better than MS when it comes to 3rd party support.
The PS4 is in no way in any danger and Im quite certain that will be even more apparent come E3 2013.
Off topic i hope the psn includes voice messaging, video messaging. Dont mind if there are lengh caps in place, so long as these features make it in the final build. Tabs under your profile picture for voice, text, and video messaging would be great additions and add to the overall social experience.
Another thing i would love to see would be like a universal rank system associated and determined by trophy levels. For example every 10 levels users earn a rank name and medal or symbol that represent that specific rank reached; which is then associated with their psn id.
For example, level 1 would be something like beginner or rookie, then it moves up from there. ofcourse Sony wouldn't have to do much since all it is, is a simple extension of the trophy system already in place. The more trophies earned, the higher the level, the greater the rank is.
This would add another dimension and also serve as an incentive. I dont know what do you guys think?
Getting a little sick of authors crying about features they wont use but this article is actually pretty good/,well rounded .. At least he doesnt say " im boycott ps4 bcuz stoopid share button im never use" Sadly ive seen other articles say almost exactly that.
If Sony are smart they'll have some revelations ready the day of Microsoft's reveal, with plenty held back for E3.
