The next generation console market is a very important subject with game developer Sony. After a very uneventful E3 conference, Sony have been on the back foot about not giving details away about their new console.
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.
Looks like we won't be getting the next gen for some time. Sorry if you were looking for a 2013 next-gen release.
Consoles will be announce in 2013, but I personally believe the mighty omnipotent and omnipresent console the PS4 will arrive in 2014, until then I will be satisfied with all the great exclusives the PS3 as to offer within the society upon the earth.
Half of this is flamebait(especially estimates on PS4 sales/production costs with no reasoning) and some numbers on actual sales of current hareware look to be a year old or so.
While spec comparision is referencing BS like the "16 core cpu" for the 720 and only 2GB of RAM for each when the WiiU is referenced between 1.5-2GB.
While where the money goes for new and used games is pretty accurate, there are only references to the possibility of PS4 blocking used games, not mentioning that there have been articles on the posssiblity for both systems.
Well Sony's in a shitty place financially as is, the last thing they need is a failed console launch put them out of business. Microsoft doesn't have quite as big of a problem. I figure the next Xbox will come out next year with Sony releasing the PS4 a year or so later to address any issues Microsoft encounter.
All I know is whoever launch 1st next gen? that will be the system for multiplat games and the other will be for Exclusives. same "Rule of Thumb" who will bite 1st xb720 or ps4?
