I think we'll get more info about Playstation Suite at CES. Hopefully some game announcements too.

SandwichHammock4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

I really wish the PS Suite and the recent acquisition of Ericsson's stake in Sony Ericsson will de-fragment some of Sony's products and services. I would love for my Xperia Play to have access to PSN and PSN content like PSOne classics for example (currently I'm using fPse). Just like I would like to see Android on Vita.

Kurisu4491d ago

Completely forgot about PS Suite, so CES would be a great time for Sony to talk more about that.

Optical_Matrix4491d ago

Luckily, Kaz Hirai was the one that was spearheading the push for connectivity between Sony products for example having the XMB in Bravia TV's as well as Vita's connectivity with PS3.

That's his vision for Sony, and now that he's the president, I can see what you want happening gradually over the next few years. I think it's something all companies need to adopt. Hell even Microsoft are doing it. Unification of devices keeps customers attached to the brand. It's why Apple sells the most PC's (hardware), sells the most MP3 players and sells the most handsets.

For me, when I buy products, save for my phone and laptop, I buy Sony and the compatibility between say, my Camera,TV and PS3 is really nice.

GribbleGrunger4491d ago

it's already shone and people were blown away by it... remember? just let it get released first and then wait six months.

remanutd554491d ago

i wanna see more of Motorstorm RC , Resistance Burning Skies and Killzone vita , hey Heavenly Sword 2 announcement would be very welcome too

MGRogue20174491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

I'm looking forward to all of those titles you mentioned except for MotorStorm RC.. I'm sure the game will still be great fun but I wish that it could of been a full-blown MotorStorm PS3-type of title instead of some mini-top down version.

Maybe in the near future Vita's life cycle, Evolution will make one.. Maybe, Let's hope so anyway.

remanutd554491d ago

i think the next full motorstorm game will be released on the ps4 and it will be more brutal than ever !!!
but for now litte LUnatics unite lol

moparful994491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

Actually motorstorm rc is one of if not the first title that is on both the ps3 and vita.. I'm almost positive that I read that in either game informer or PTOM... If I can find the link I will post...

Found a link. ENJOY!

remanutd554491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

at moparful99 actually Motorstorm RC is a psn title that happens to be on Vita and ps3 lol but its not a full-blown BRUTAL Motorstorm game , i think the next motorstorm game should be a "Motorsorm Worldwide Festival" featuring exotic locations from all over the globe and even water , imagine racing on moving boats ?

MasterCornholio4491d ago

Im pretty sure we will get some new game announcements at CES. Final Fantasy 10 for the Vita will be shown off there.

fluffydelusions4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

Hope so. Vita needs some good jrpgs. My most anticipated game is gravity rush atm.

tarbis4491d ago

I fell in love with Gravity Daze after playing the demo. I hope this game will be PSV's killer app and sell more handhelds in Japan.

moparful994491d ago

God of War for Vita?? YES PLEASE!!!!

tarbis4491d ago

And PSV is fully equipped to contain and release all that freaking godly rage of Kratos. BRING IT ON!

remanutd554491d ago

makes me wonder how much realistic and brutal God of War 4 can get after God of War 3 ?

urwifeminder4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

$349 australian for the base model no memory card is not very appealing thats for sure id pay $150 so it will be a while before i get one the psp will do till then.

Silver_Faux4491d ago

Thats why im importing from the US in February, save alot of cash, plus hopefuly the remote play is properly up and running by then.

Silver_Faux4491d ago

What? No credit card/debit card bro?

urwifeminder4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

If i have problems with a device i like to take it back to the store i got it from plus different power cords i think that price will hurt the console sales here not everyone imports you have less consumer power or it takes longer to get things resolved.

Silver_Faux4490d ago (Edited 4490d ago )

@urwifeminder

Fair enough about the tech support aspect but the power cords are no problem, just get an adapter, should be fine.

I suppose i'm willing to take that risk of importing, just as many people have already done from japan. Some online retailers(if not most) will have some sort of warranty in place, but yeah it would take a while to be resolved most likely.

Also if your worried about price. just wait till the date gets closer im sure aussie retailers will start dropping deals offering better value for money.

Also, I would say the internet offers more consumer power in the form of choice, especially in Australia.

EB are a bunch of rip off merchants, charging bloody $110 for ps3 games when Kmart are selling them for $72 or there around.

I've imported many games and had no problem,quick response in relation to delays, and the only problem I had was with region locked DLC which was resolved with the creation of a Hong kong PSN account.

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.

Profchaos22h ago(Edited 22h 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.

exputers19h ago

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

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h 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.

just_looken5h ago

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.

phoenixwing14h ago

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

H915h ago

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

jambola11h 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

SegaSaturn66914h ago

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

Popsicle13h 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 7h 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 6h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 1h 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
