It's a cool device. And being based on a Raspberry Pi 3 will allow it to have multiple functions. However as a gaming machine I believe that the lack of a analog stick will really limite it's potential. It also a very expensive device, going for £149-179 on Kickstarter and even more after. And for a little more one can get a GPD XD+ that will be a far better option for gaming.

That said. I'm happy that we are seeing so many new handhelds being made this days.

Not going to buy any handhelds without full controller buttons and analogs. We moved past the not enough controls era for handhelds with the Switch.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

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.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

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.

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

I think if used correctly it could work well

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
