They're attacking that giant enemy crab's weak point for massive damage. They're doing what they did with the Move, really... Real time weapon change.

Seriously we are going to be the winners when they start to lock horns. Nintendo in Japan may be in jeopardy but, Nintendo would be a monster hunter away from a victory. However, latest PSP version of monster hunter could get a rerelease. NA will be interesting to say the least.

If Sony can deliver on all fronts a rich software environment to match this wonderful hardware they've come up with, they might finally have a chance at taking back some of the market share that Nintendo has held on to for far too long.

People may agree with you, but your right, this could be a interesting time in handheld wars. Sony has got a huge power advantage, game advantage as well features of the device. Plus the hugely competitive price, that let's be honest, no one truly believed they would do.

I have a 3DS, but god I can't wait for the Vita, it's going to be amazing!

dragunrising4705d ago (Edited 4705d ago )

I plan on owning both...and effectively avoiding the "handheld wars." However, I can't help but feel a tinge of regret that I paid $250 bones for a 3DS. If the PS Vita was more expensive perhaps I could validate my purchase. Then again, Zelda is still not out and I have zero games to play at the moment so I guess not (yet) :-/

I'm looking forward to playing games on both handhelds. Hopefully they offer unique experiences for years to come...and touch screen tablets never replace dedicated handhelds with buttons.

Vita should dominate the market. I just hope Sony market it right.

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.

Profchaos1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

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.

exputers1d 7h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

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.

phoenixwing1d 2h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H91d 3h ago

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

jambola23h ago

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

SegaSaturn6691d 1h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle1d 1h ago

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 Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 19h ago

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.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 13h ago

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

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

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."
