Gamers are slow to forgive. Many own a PlayStation 3 today because they were angry at Microsoft for letting them down when the Xbox 360 suffered from a huge number of breakdowns, due to a manufacturing flaw that led to overheating.
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.
PS2 had a similar situation like the RROD situation Microsoft had. Sony handle theirs differently than Microsoft though. Sony isssued a recall because the power brick in the slim designs were catching fire. Real gamers know that anyone can be hacked and it was Sony's bad luck that it was them first. They also know that Geohotz is the one to blame for publishing PS3's masterkey on his website.
Actually Geohotz is the one sole to blame in my opinion and who ever leak the ps3 masterkey. He was the reason linux was removed and now why psn is down. The difference is Microsoft screwed gamers over, not Sony. Hackers screwed ps3 gamers over twice. If the were an American company (Microsoft) people would be alot more sympathetic. They wouldn't be so quick to paint Microsoft to such an unflattering light.
Overracting much ?
I really think people are blowing this out of proportion. The truth is, by the time the holiday rush comes, most gamers will have forgotten about that time PSN was down. Some of these articles (not talking about this one) make it seem like PS3s are exploding and kicking babies. It's only PSN...
A good idea would be for PSN to make user vote for a free psn game under $12. That will be a good scheme. They should give all DC Universe Online and free realm subscribers a extra free month as compensation. Playstation Plus should open the Infamous 2 Beta to every member and also give all members $15 to spend on PSN or just MAG for Free with all DLC. Don't tell me that is too much because it's the safest way to ensure that they don't lose any customers to microsoft and people deserve it after being scared about there credit card details or trophies being lost. This is also a good way to avoid getting unnecessary sued.
some so called journalists are braindead...here is one of them
