VGR: Seriously, this was the marketing campaign for the last Playstation. Thank you Sony for fueling my nightmares...
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
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.
lol for some reason I really liked these commercials, but I do admit that they probably didn't do much for them as they had hoped.
Good thing they went with the Kevin Butler Idea later on.
The one that did creep me out: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I did like when they decided to focus on the games with commercial http://www.youtube.com/watc...
All the butler ones are great though: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Yeah these commercials were pretty damn trippy. Oh well. They could have been more like the PSP squirrels commercial. And besides, we eventually wound up getting Kevin Butler ads and those were hilarious.
I thought those were fake parody commercials when I first saw them lol
Even the japanese ps3 commercials were freaky.
Best PlayStation ads I saw so far was the korean ones.
Oh sony ... maybe the whole time the problem was ur marketing team.
Later though, sony make dot believe was a pretty good ad. But again, thats not a PlayStation ad.
The all stars one was pretty good with all the PlayStation characters coming out, although the ad was interesting, it wasnot geared toward the general public.
Just do what Microsoft does for marketing. Copy exactly what they do.
I agree some of the commercials had a question mark in my head like wtf was that? I dont think these commercials were the problem though, it was that sony didnt do enough advertising at the time.
Great thing is they learned from alot of their passed mistakes and been doing a very good job of turning all those things around. Kaz has done a phenomenal job and it looks like it will only get better from here on out.
Also that 30 minute beyond two souls gameplay looks freakin fan-effing-tastic. It will definitely be a must buy day 1 title for me.
Shinra Tensei
I think if properly funded, these commercials would have done what they were supposed to do.
They were supposed to be trippy and make you go "wth was that?!" But there wasn't enough of them. I remember literally watching TV more just to wait for one to come on, and never seeing them at all.I saw it maybe once before they went in a different direction.
