Men's Journal - Sony's PlayStation 4 is the first Sony game console to launch without backwards-compatibility out of the gate. That means your huge collection of PS3 games is useless and you'll have to fork over $400 for the new hardware and another $60 per game. Sony's offsetting things slightly by offering a pair of free quality indie games with the space shooter 'Resogun' and the film noir puzzle adventure 'Contrast.' And next year, Sony's cloud gaming service promises to bring back a library of past PlayStation console titles for instant streaming. But for now, there are some quality experiences that showcase what next gen gaming can deliver on Sony's new console.
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
While discussing the future of Warframe, Rebecca Ford said the team plans to wrap up any loose ends relevant to the current in-game events.
PS4 has some decent games.
Knack is a pretty decent game. Its not as bad as some people make it out to be. I appreciate it for some ofthe amazing graphics, because it can truly nearly pass as something from Pixar, but thats just my opinion. I do wish that I can play FPS, but unfortunately I get motion sickness. I tried playing for 5 minutes and I was done with it. Im sure though that we will see some quality titles and I cant wait.
I buy a console for five reasons...
1) Games
2) Games
3) Games
4) Games
5) Games
All good games, now start bringing on the RPGS, JRPGS, SRPGS, really just whatever keep them coming.
edit - Also, I wants my Diablo III, I already know it's coming.
I think the Launch Lineup is amazing,
Especially with Warframe and Blacklight
