Insider Tidux has heard that Sony might be looking into the possibility of buying Crytek, which is reportedly in financial trouble.
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.
That would be a stupid move. If THQ (which had MANY amazing series/games) didn't get bought out and was forced to individually sell assetts, I don't see any reason someone would buy crytek. Sure they have their own engine, but it is one of the most underused major engines in the business. Not to mention crytek has moved almost no sales for the playstation brand since, ever.
Guessing this rumor is nothing more than a grab for attention.
@abash I totally agree, but financially, makes little sense. Not to mention both sony and MS are fully capable of making far better engines for their consoles because those engines ONLY run on their console and are made by much larger (and better IMO) teams. So their need for an engine aquisition is almost non-existent.
Crytek under Sony's guidance could make some astounding games.
They could become Guerilla Games 2 both have great visuals and awful games.
I don't like crytek Sony should consider CAPCOM instead
I can see Sony bidding for Crysis, that could be marketed as "Halo killer". And I'd also think MS will try to get Ryse. On the other hand, they need "GoW killer".
