Hate to break it to you Nintendo and Sony, but the mobile handheld gaming landscape is rapidly undergoing a changing of the guards that’s set to turn the industry upside down. Today Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android smartphones are slowly eating away Nintendo’s marketshare, something no company, not even Sony has been able to accomplish.
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
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
I think we will know will be when we get sales from both NGP and 3DS (of course after when the NGP comes out). If they both do not reach a larger audience then yer mobile gaming is dead. I play on my iphone when waiting for stuff like lectures on the go and thats the only time I play mobile games. Save the big gaming till I get back. You can't really compare Iphone to 3DS/NGP sales because the Iphone has a larger target market but it is interesting both SOny and Nintendo haven't tried th phone market. Sony did sought of with the Xperia but it seams more of a trial due to it having low features on phone and gaming
