"Today during Sony’s GDC panel on the PSP’s successor, Next Gen Portable, we finally got more specifics on the handheld’s storage ability. According to Sony, the device itself won’t feature an internal hard drive, but rather each game card (which will be either 2GB or 4 GB) will have 5-10% of space for save data, patches, etc."
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.
WOW REALLY? I dont think I like that idea. Im one of those guys who have a ton of music albums and photos on the PSPgo. Guess I cant play BEATS anymore cause the game requires music to be on the HDD and not memory sticks or whatever they are calling it.
hm, i wonder how much space will be available on the external hd card. hopefully more than 3.8 gigs...
the medium size is perfect. A good cap to keep development costs low and make it so ps3 ports are generally impossible/way worse (in addition to graphics in between the psp and ps3).
I am confident this wont compete with the ps3 now.
Let me get this right, if I lose my "game card" then im losing my saved game too? I hope that NGP will get cloud storage then.
They keep the internal HDD out of the system to cut costs on the probably already expensive NGP. This way, Sony can advertise the memory cards at an attractive price to drive accessory sales to compliment the purchases of the NGP. Pretty smart actually business wise. Now, let's see how it affects developers' plans for games having to work around the limitations. I'm sure the cards will grow in size as time passes so no worries.
