Rich Jaroslovsky: If you’re like most people, there are many simpler, cheaper ways to electronically amuse yourself. The PlayStation Vita is for those who think digital fun is serious business.
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.
...and that's why I traded in my 3DS for one.
I got tired of the silly 'Mii' games and casual-focused titles. While Nintendo games are great, the real gems are few and far between. The store is awful to navigate and is clearly aimed at children with the HUGE buttons and colourful/cartoony theme.
The PS Vita is the hardcore's portable of choice.
all real dedicated portables are hardcore
the ds had a ridiculously hardcore library
I enjoyed this article. Thanks for the read. One tip
“These days, smartphones and tablets are where the action is in handheld gaming.”
That isn’t particularly true. The 3ds is really where the action is.
No other system sold more than it did in 2011. And its breaking sales records
@Elemental So you're basing action off of... sales?
Thank goodness Bloomberg is not one of those doom and gloom sites.
I am actually impressed they way Sony has balanced the casual games with the hardcore. I laugh when people say 'I will wait until the VITA gets more quality games' when there is a whole list of games coming for it. They have just about every genre covered so I am not sure what 'quality games' they are waiting for.
