Kotaku: Despite the fact almost every games writer I've ever spoken with loves the thing, the general public has, so far, not exactly warmed to Sony's latest handheld video games console.
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.
Of course Sony worry about the future of its device. Which industrial wouldn't be stressed before the release of a new product on the market ?
It's like if i asked you,LUKE PLUNKETT, should you be worried about the economy of your country ? Should you be worried about the debts the USA contract each and every year ? Should you be worried about the global economy collapsing and the dollar losing its weight on the global market ? If not, i think you take the video game industry too seriously.
Yes Sony is worry as they should be, that doesn't mean the Vita will fail; just that nobody can predict the success of the device now.
If the system is great, well supported and people love it, it will sell. If not, it will be more difficult for Sony to make it sexy to potential users.
"If sweetening the deal just after launch is panicking, what's it called when a company feels compelled to do it before a handheld is even released?"
Exactly. Of course though, it's different when it comes to a certain company.....
Anyways, I'll be buying a Vita, but not a launch. Right now there isn't much that interests me except Wipeout (love that series). I just played Uncharted 3 late last year, so I don't need another Uncharted experience so soon.
You guys know the drill: Sony is doomed, hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
It will well enough to make it successful. What people need to worry about is the software sales. Games don't look so hot in sales.
And here we go..................again.
