Check out brand new video and details of new content coming to Sega's Phantasy Star Online 2 at epicJRPG.com! Although the release of PSO 2 has been delayed in North America (as announced by Sega this week), it's likely that much of the content will also be released in the west once the game finally does make an appearance on PC (and Playstation Vita should Sega decide to localize it).
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
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.
Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.
How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.
It's just backwards.
What your talking about is called block list
In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback
Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.
But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.
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 genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong
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
So, is this still coming to the Vita? Haven't heard anything.
Gah! Delay and only a possible localization!
This is some bull crap. Why can't they give any information on the Vita version being localized already? Vita version has been out in Japan, you can't tell me they don't know or have no information about it coming over seas..
The fact the PC version has gone this long without any information is annoying as well. One thing I can't stand about SOA, they never know anything or any dates. Just leave their fans in the dark.. or as they say "It happens when it happens"..
Just like we knew it was supposed to come early 2013, now they are just saying it is delayed and again no actual date just like before.. Wonderful.
I normally don't get bent out of shape over games taking forever but Half Life 3 and PSO 2 are pushing my limits. Especially PSO 2 because it was announced so long ago for NA.
Meanwhile North America; *chirp chirp*
This was the one game i was really looking forward to this year and so far my hope of a 2013 release has been crushed. Damn you sega lol
