I’ve always been an avid Sony supporter, but I have to agree that Microsoft won the race for the current generation of consoles due to a few smart decisions on their end and some ridiculously dumb mistakes made by Sony. To succeed in the next generation, Sony has to get a few things right.
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.
To me, it's all about timing and price. If they're first to market then it can be a little pricey and people would still buy, but Sony can't be last and the most expensive again.
To me, it's all about games. And I have no doubt, Sony will deliver.
Recapture the hearts of the American people.
Yes America does not equal the world but its the biggest and most important market for gaming.
They are going to be in a tough spot because Nintendo is releasing their console a full year (at least) before any other competition. If Nintendo releases at a $299 price point, and has no next gen competition for over a year, they could have a 10-12 million console lead.
I think its really all depending on what people make of the Wii U, but normally new hardware flies off the shelf.
He really has an unrealistic list of games he wants at launch. Nobody delevoper in the right mind would release all the big guns at launch that would stupid as heck. I would want NEW IP's at launch mixed with some of the Sony classics. I don't expect a 600 system this time around "IF" they reuse tech such as blu-ray and cell. If they create all new stuff it could very well be priced at that price point again. I really dont think timing is an issue if anything Sony as proved that they can release a year later and still make up a lot of ground, but if they released within a few months before or after the nextbox they shouldnt have many issues if the tech is solid.
