The Xbox 720 and PS4 will be receiving a number of different experiences from the games that hit the platforms, and it looks like "Battlefield 4" is going to try and deliver a much more emotion performance than ever seen before........
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.
Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.
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.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
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
The Xbox 720 isn't anounced people, it doesn't excist!
ugh Battlefield 4 craz....I was sold on it last time until my friend told me about their false ads showing the PC version for the console ones....and then I played the beta and it was awful..... canceled my pre order and rented from gamefly....graphics looked really crapy even in 1080 p it was awful I hope it will be better this time....but it's EA
I'm a Battlefield homer and I wish them the best of luck with Bf4. Drama and empathy are difficult to do in stories for FPS because you're shooting hundreds and hundreds of enemies. Comedy and spoofing is easier to do, which is why the Bad Company campaigns are well loved.
Can't wait to experience it
sadly Cod fanboy sites like IGN are ALREADY trying to talk down BF4 (with stupid nonsense comments of "no-innovation") after only a 17min video... which actually did show many new aspects of single player, never seen before in the BF franchise, as well as beautiful next-gen graphics.... This is the same pathetic site that gave the COPY AND PASTE MW3 glowing reviews when it was the exact copy of MW2.... any BF4 will more than likely be a glorious experience on the next gen consoles, especially with the higher frames per second and higher player count.
