Sony is all set to launch PlayStation 4 this holiday season and as Sony has a bad history with console launches we are here to help with five ingredients for Playstation 4 success.
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 agree with most of these statements. We already know that backwards compatibility is not in the PS4 and I believe Kevin Butler doesn't work for Sony PlayStation anymore (I think). I think a global release would he perfect for the PS4 and the launch titles and price. If the price is in the 'sweet' zone and it has good launch titles it would lead to success
I think you forgot an very important one, PlayStation Plus. If my subscription carries over to PlayStation 4, it would definitely entice me to become a early adopter (although I'm weak & will most likely buy it anyway)
The only thing that matters is number 3. If they don't have must-have launch titles, then no one will feel like they must have the console. I was kinda considering just getting it for infamous.
5. don't see this being too much of a problem
4. This is something that bums me out, but I'm not oblivious as to why the ps4 cannot be backwards compatible. This is probably the first generation of console that I truly care about being able to go back and play my old games. With AAA games it's not much of an issue, because the next gen always offers a bigger, better iteration of the game (Killzone Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4). However, this generation introduced me to interactive art (Journey, Unfinished Swan, Flower). These games gave us emotional experiences that cannot be duplicated with better graphics, thus shouldn't have sequels just to test out ps4 new specs. It's unfortunate that, barring a port or Gaikai working better than I could imagine, we won't be able to revisit these smaller games. Really looking forward to Sony's Gaikai solution for this.
3. Quality over quantity. We have no idea how many games will be available at launch. What we do know is that the launch window is ALREADY stacked with what could be great games. Infamous Second Son, Killzone Shadow Fall, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Battlefield 4... these franchises always deliver a great experience, and I'm sure these upcoming games will at least be somewhat worthy to their predecessors.
2. Sony has been on a roll lately. Everything about the ps4 sounds like they've been truly listening to the fans and learning from past mistakes. Having said that, one of the biggest mistake Sony made for the ps3 was the launch price. Sony is absolutely aware of this. They've been avoiding past failures, and I don't see this one being any different.
1. I love Kevin Butler as much as anyone else, but unfortunately it's time to move on. Ps4 is a new era for Sony Playstation, and to duplicate the past in anyway (even a killer spokeperson) is a mistake. Can they top the great Kevin Butler? Not likely, but they need to try something fresh.
