After using all three major VR systems, Editor In Chief Mark looks at why he thinks Sony is poised for success in the upcoming race for the living room.
Cloudhead Games has announced the VOIDSLAYER update for Pistol Whip, adding three new scenes in June for all supported platforms.
Laundry, cleaning and classic arcade games all in glorious virtual reality
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.
Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.
How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.
It's just backwards.
What your talking about is called block list
In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback
Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.
But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.
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 genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong
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.
Because it will be the cheapest and doesn't focus on hyper realistic graphics. Heard it before, but I don't disagree. I just want to try it already.
Playstation VR needs to win, cause is the only serious VR aimed for all consumers and not specific groups, if does win the market for VR will open hence the people will look for more VR products(Oculus, Vive, cardboxes, etc) to buy.
I think because it'll have asynchronous gameplay while one player can use the VR headset with either a controller or, 2 move controllers. Another player can use another controller or, 2 move controllers as well just without the headset. All the while the PlayStation camera can effectively capture and track all the components all at once.
If I remember correctly Sony did touch on the possibility of more than 2 VR headsets being able to work in conjunction with each other on one TV/Console. Plus in comparison with the other VR systems, Sony are the only entrant entering the VR space who have openly touched on the issue of releasing their VR set on the market and said that will be taking a financial loss. That to me is like Sony saying that they are willing to take a financial hit to ensure VR is able to penetrate onto the market as well as do so at a lower buyin price than their competitors. It's not beyond reason that they wouldn't be up to taking a hit on price, because they also took a sizable hit with the PS3 as well.
It is in all parties best interests for VR to be successful, they're essentially on the same team. Even direct competitors like Oculus and Vive will benefit from overall growth of the VR sector, more so than they'd benefit from beating out their supposed rivals.
It'll be some years before they start jossling for market share. They have to create and nurture the market first.
The support of many developers, large PS4 install base, and (hopefully lower) price really help
