As the next-generation of consoles continue to be released, gamers will be able to enjoy new, innovative experiences they have not seen on current systems, but is this time of technology change also a time for gamers to think about changing?
Examiner.com conducted a series of exclusive interviews with the CEO of First Post Studios Jacob Robinson, EA Sports communications specialist Brad Hilderbrand and Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter.
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.
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
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
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
Do we as gamers need to change how we interact within certain media at all?
Why so many Xbox 720 and PS4 articles when NO INFORMATION has been confirmed by Sony or MS?
Also this article has Nothing to do with Xbox 720 or PS4 as it basically talks about the last 7 years.
Also one guy mentioned having ONE BOX that brings everything together like music games movies etc. in his Living room!.......My Home Theater Personal Computer does that Wonderfully!
But I get what he's saying as he expects Next Gen consoles to provide all the entertainment for the Living room the same way my HTPC does for me NOW!
I can't wait for either PS4 or 720. I had my heart set on ps4. But if no used games then I'm boycotting and going for the 720.
Wiiu Is a ''next gen'' console. But I also know the next gen doesn't begin in earnest until the other 2 big boys arrive. And they're the ones that dictate multiplats.
Buy the time they're hear though , the wiiu will have so many awesome exclusives.
I Really hate it when people on this site and others start whining about how power dictates Generations. It's just simply wrong.
The N64 was pushing true 3D polygons which were quite clearly twice as impressive as the ps1.
The DS wasn't half as powerfull as the psp. But what made the DS great was its innovation.
You have to think about it like this. Does the wiiu have good enough graphics to keep you happy with exclusive games ? ABSOLOUTLY YES!!! doesn't matter how much more powerfull the other 2 big fellas are...
I mean here's a scenario- The 720 ends up being TWICE as powerfull as ps4 which is TWICE as powerfull as wiiu.
So they're all on different levels of power.
wiiu-100%
ps4-200%
720-400% (just an example)
will that mean they're all in different generations ? Ofcourse not.
yeah the examiner sucks, they put a story up the other day about next gen and the source was a story from jan 2012. WTF!!
