VRFocus - Annual updates on mobile and PC-based virtual reality (VR) hardware are likely to be common once the technology reaches consumers. Oculus VR, for example, has stated that it is working on a new iteration of its Gear VR head-mounted display (HMD) for a possible reveal later this year and acknowledged that the eventual consumer edition of the Oculus Rift will be far from the final iteration. But, as a console-based kit, the Project Morpheus HMD likely won’t have the luxury of regular updates. For that reason, its creators know that they have to get the device right ‘the first time’.
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.
I didn't realize it had a flippable front screen. That's a really smart solution.
I've never experienced VR before but I'm definitely interested in trying this out.
If it has a great price. Say 199$ ...
A good dev support from Sony and 3rd Party then it will be great. I can imagine Quantic Dreams next IP or GT7 in it will look unbelievably amazing.
This article AGAIN!!!!! They also need to get the price right from day one can we get that article again PLZ
Good read. It will be a day one for me. If anyone is interested there is a demonstration by tge VR industry in Merriott Hotel in LA coming up. Price of admission is only $15 dollars if yiur a student, and i think $20 bucks if your not. You can see how great VR is for yourselves (:
