"Sony launched their big grey slab back in 1995, it launched with brilliant games but it was lacking in something, it didn't have a recognisable figure like Nintendo's Mario or Sega's Sonic, it was lacking that public face that it really needed to secure mass market appeal. Sony obviously weren't worried at all by this though as they had a killer IP waiting in the shadows. A year later the beast was unleashed onto the public in the form of a smart aleck bandicoot."
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.
thats worth a HD remake!!! trilogie and CTR too !!!
I never thought that much of Crash, it was pretty good but not amazing.
The first one was good, but my favourite is the 3rd one, so much variety, gotta love the apple bazooka! =)
My childhood game right here. I was a PS1 owner back in the day. I was a HUGE CrashBandicoot fan. I remember that my mom bought me this game from her value village store. Its one of those stores where people donate stuff that they don't need anymore, and the store would resell them for money.
Luckily for me, some guy donated a couple of PS1 games, and my mom bought them for me. One of them was CrashBandicoot for the PS1. When my mom brought the game home, I was having the time of my life playing it for days on end.
I could never forget the wacky characters, beautiful luscious level designs, and the addictive platforming.
Thanks mom
Special Thanks to NaughtyDog
I've been playing it on my Xperia haha. I don't know if they can do much with the franchise anymore unless they buy the rights back.
