Sony hasn’t had a terribly large presence at Gamescom this year, certainly not at the level of Microsoft MSFT -0.71% which actually had a full-on stage show earlier in the week. But they have debuted one interesting new piece of tech for the PS4 which could almost work as a quasi-answer to Microsoft’s new Windows 10-to-Xbox One streaming functionality.
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.
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.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.

Does anyone else see a serious problem with this statement?
I'm less concerned with the price than I am with the Lumens. 32 Lumens is extremely low for a projector. There are many small projectors for half the price with a couple thousand more Lumens. They aren't as compact, but they will not look washed out once they hit the screen or wall. Resolution isn't as much of an issue as people will make since the low lumens and lack of a quality screen will kill any kind of high resolution image anyway. The wireless streaming is definitely a plus.
Why market it as a Playstation device at all? It's a nice compact projector for travelling with anything with an HDMI port
