What’s The Connection Between Sony’s ‘Greatness Awaits’ PS4 Ad And GTAV?

TSA:

I happened to be over on the PlayStation YouTube channel checking out some of the new PS4 trailers when I noticed that a behind-the-scenes video had been put up for the pretty sweet ‘Greatness Awaits’ PS4 ad that Sony released this week. On its own, the video isn’t all that exciting – just a short look at what went into the ad in terms of effects and costumes – but I suddenly realised that we’d seen this shoot before, back in April. Don’t remember that? Maybe because back then we believed it to be a Grand Theft Auto V live-action commercial that was filming.

Maybe GTA5 will be PS4 exclusive for 8th gen.

hellvaguy3970d ago

Prolly no turning back the clock now on GTA exclusiveness. Already several games of it that are multiplatform now. Same goes for MGS series and Mass Effect series.

Cam9773970d ago

Good speculation
I imagine Rockstar coming out with this late next year, not this September.

Maybe an "Ultimate Edition" or "Episodes from the Back O'Beyond" will come to the PS4?

SIRHC133970d ago

I doubt there's timed exclusitivity on Xbox after Somy revealed their exclusive GTAV bundles at E3.

ltachiUchiha3970d ago

GTAV exclusive ps3 bundle is a system seller, u already know that will be sold out & microsoft just hurt themselves even more just by not debunking all the used game issues. I have a feeling the xbox one was built with the intention to block used games & there is no way around it that is why kinect is packed into every system & is why those dedicated cloud servers are there for the purpose to check when users try an let a friend use their game. Basically microsoft took a gamble & was hoping that the majority of their fanbase would stick with them no matter what only to see it backfire on them otherwise they wouldve went with plan B & just drop the whole issue altogether. I believe they will still go full force & try an sell it with very strong advertisements. You know they will throw billions to advertise the hell out of it because they have the money to do it & they know it. I really hope this blows up in their face & makes them go back to the drawing board.

Well R* did have exclusive content with them at E3 and there was a GTA V edition of the pulse headset

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

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.

exputers1d 1h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 9h ago)

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.

phoenixwing20h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H921h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola17h ago

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

SegaSaturn66920h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle19h ago

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 Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 13h ago

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.

Profchaos1d 12h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 7h ago

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

The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing693d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos3d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius2d ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy853d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius2d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
