A lot of fans have been worried about how much damage next-generation games would be to their bank balance. After all, prices jumped $10 from Playstation 2 to Playstation 3, so why wouldn’t they jump again?
But gamers can rest easy -Sony have revealed that first-party Playstation 4 titles will sell at $59.99, at least at launch. This is the same price that Playstation 3 games are retailed at, and the statement guarantees that the four launch titles, Knack, Infamous, Driveclub and Killzone: Shadow Fall, will retail at this price.
However, Sony’s statement does leave room for price increases for third-party games, or even first-party games scheduled for outside the launch window. Third-party.....
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.
There is absolutely no reason why next gen games should cost any more than they do now other than greed.
The new consoles are basically x86 PC's there is no excuses this time.
Activision or EA may try to though, but hey we can vote with our wallets if they do.
Games already cost $70-$80 its called DLC most of the new games come out barebone with just enough to complete the game and then charge you $20-$30 for Season passes of content that is already made and sometimes already on the disk
I think the bad press/backlash of the first publisher to attempt to raise prices ill be counter productive. No publisher has the balls to do it even if they wanted to so it will never happen.
If microsoft makes stupid move which they definitely will, then probably YES!!!
Preorder on amazon and get price gurantee
