So what are PlayStation 3 owners buying? The gap in console sales has closed. There should be no reason that games like God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 shouldn't be able to rival the sales numbers of Halo 3. Especially when many regard those two games as two of the best this generation has to offer, and it is widely acknowledged that the PlayStation 3 is the most powerful console on the market capable of technical greatness that others are not. But, it can't be all people that bought a Slim are just using it play Blu-ray. I think Jim Sterling of Destructoid was really on to something when he stated in an interview with Hip Hop Gamer that 'while Sony is certainly capable of great things in the graphics department, it has some catching up to do in the gameplay department' Maybe it's just that simple, maybe people aren't just looking for over the top graphics that look better than everything they have ever seen or come to expect from a gaming console. Maybe they want more.
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.
Well I know I have to buy a new ps3 slim, cuz my 80gb just got YLOD.
Happened to me too but the Slims run really smooth and quiet. Luckily, I kept my PS2 around for some of the old school games.
