According to a source at Sony, Activision are developing a new Ghostbusters game. The game will launch alongside the new film in July 2016.
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.
If it's going to be the female Ghostbusters and the new tone Paul is going to set up (his style of comedy is completely different) then this will fail...hard
Plus it's Activision so...
I really liked Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
I'd love to see another game like it. I dare say that no matter what it is, I'll buy it. I'm a serious Ghost Buster fan.
I'd like to see a Tell-Tale Ghostbuster or a Travelers Tale (Lego) Ghostbusters.
I see a Lego game being more likely since Ghostbusters will kinda become a Trilogy when the new movie releases. Most "new ip" Lego games release once a Trilogy is available. Harry Potter, Lego Indiana Jones, Pirates, Jurassic Park/world, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter 2, Star Wars, etc...
The only Lego game I can think of that wasn't released as a Trilogy (other than Traveler Tales "original" stories) is Lego The Hobbit and that game was originally planned to have the 3rd movie as DLC (never happened though).
Is it possible that Activision partners with somebody to make the game? Example: would they get credit in the title of a Lego game? Activision being behind this is scary. It could be a game like Duck Dynasty or they could actually throw a little budget at it and make an okay game like they did with The Amazing Spiderman 1 & 2.
Honestly i wish it wasnt based on the new movie. Messing with the classic GB just isnt right.
I loved Ghostbusters: The Video Game, the others that came after was junk..
I hope new one is given the full treatment and not just something to launch alongside the movie...
If it's with that stupid female cast I'll pass, the last Ghosbuster game was pretty good tho
