TSA: "PlayStation TV is one of the most impressive pieces of kit I’ve seen. It’s primary focus in Western markets is for Remote Play – Sony are pushing it as a multi-room solution for your PS4, so that you can jump from playing a game on the big screen in your sitting room to another screen in your bedroom, gaming room or elsewhere."
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
With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.
It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.
The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n
This is just another ridiculous double standard article.
It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.
I like it. Sounds like a winner if Sony plays it right, and does not fill it with ads and other bloatware everywhere. Speaking of ads, I wish if you were a subscriber to PSN that PSN ads did not show. Wishful thinking.
I used to have two PS3's, one for my home entertainment system downstairs in my den and one upstairs in my living room. For me, PSTV is worth $100 bucks to me as a PS4 extender alone. The fact that I can play many of my Vita games on the bigger TV is just icing on the cake.
I can certainly see these things being popular with parents also looking for a cheap console to put in their kids room, or something portable that they could take on vacation with them. Both my brothers picked up new rv's this year with TV's in them and I'm seriously considering getting them each a PSTV for Christmas for their campers so the kids have them for rainy days and can still play with them at home as well.
Edit: Just read that, assuming your internet connection is fast enough these things will stream PS4 over the internet as well like the Vita can do. That's a nice plus. Too bad it won't play media off a usb device as well. That's really the only thing extra I can think that would be nice to have. They have Netflix on everything else, including the Vita. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they have this on PSTV as well.
Already pre-ordered mine
"PlayStation TV is one of the most impressive pieces of kit I’ve seen."
Was there ever any doubt? This is Sony we're talking about. Playstation TV will no doubt be successful , I just hope Sony can keep up with demand.
Ill buy this as I want to play Vita Games, but zi don't want a Vita. I wont use the PS4 extension features, but its great to know theyre there if there's ever a change in my circumstances.
