With the confirmation of the existence of a 'Super Slim' PS3, it begs the question why have Sony bothered to release a 16GB model of a console that is known for needing a lot of space to install games?
Perhaps Gaikai is the reason?
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.
Its kind of crazy if it really is a 16GB PS3 but whatever... Good for starters and those whom don't mind adding a bigger HDD.
This will be aimed at the more 'casual' gamers, where with the more 'casual' games don't need big game patches, or tend to install to the HDD.
Look at the 4GB Xbox, that's 4 times less the amount of memory, and that hasn't done too bad
Depending what you use it for, if you use it as a 3d blu ray player and occasionally Game ,its a great idea I think
Just wait for a PS4.
Speculation, speculation!!
It's feckin simple economics dodo...Sony need to sell more hardware, and making a cheaper PS3 makes sense now as the console is nearing the end of its cycle...
Yes Gaikai will come into play & it's a nice entry level for slow to adopt hardware buyers on a tight budget..
You only have to look back historically...they did the same with PS1, PS2 and now PS3...Sony are gearing up for PS4....
I don't know if this site is begging for hits or are really a bunch of dumb ass's....?
