During the Microsoft E3 2015 conference on Monday, fans of the console were ecstatic to hear that the Xbox One would offer backwards compatibility on Xbox 360. While there are only a handful of games available right now, most noticeably is fan favorite Mass Effect, Microsoft plans to have hundreds of titles available by the end of the year. With the games that will be backwards compatible, not only will they be free unlike Playstation Now, will receive a graphic upscale and smoother frame rate. With all the positive acceptance that has been garnered by this announcement, has Sony really looked at how well this has been received?
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.
Not sure there's anything they can do but watch. PS3's cell architecture would be hard to bring over.
And it may be to early to call it a 'success'. We'll find out later this year when it actually rolls out and has more games.
But I have heard several of my friends on the 360 say they haven't jumped to next-gen because their library of games on the 360 is so large and a lot of those games aren't on XBO or PS4.
I cleared out my 360 library so I won't use it, but I'm sure there are going to be those who do. It's a win for MS. PS Now wasn't very appealing before, and it certainly isn't now.
No? I think BC is great but I don't think it is going to convince consumers to buy these consoles now as BC is really important in the early stages not in the middle to later stages of a cycle. Especially for the case of the PS3 where emulation would be difficult on a PS4 I do not think the need truly out ways the difficulty and the outcome of such a move. However, they should definitely do it with the PS5
Lol no. They have psnow. While Xbox has a better deal with not making you pay for the games you already own....there is a lot of small details being forgotten....like the fact that they need permission from developers in order to make the game free...which sounds ok but when you think of it if that dev is making a remaster of the game...I doubt they will allow this....a lot of games will be BC but I don't know if it will be big games.
PSnow costs too much, there for Xbox's deal is better...but is it something we will need...or use.
That's my take on it at least....I was ps4 games...not PS3....I want Xbox one games...not 360.
Its about as relevant as the Wii U's backwards compatibility.
The Xbox One's BC might just simmer down the remakes and remasters.
As a matter of fact games that struggled to run on the 360 will have some notable improvements.
