Hands up Vita owners; now, keep that hand up if you’ve got enough games to play on your shiny new system…hmmm. Sony’s latest handheld has been going through something of a proverbial dry spell for the last wee while, a fact much publicised by everyone and his dog seeking to jump on the inevitable bandwagon of doom that has unhitched itself from the 3DS in order to latch on to the Vita.
Yes, there isn’t much out there at the moment – going into a retailer and looking at the Vita section is a little bit concerning. Yes, the last ‘new’ thing I got for my handheld was a five year old PSP game, and yes I bought it just so I could get some use out of the thing.
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.
E3 is next month. Can we hold off on the no games till then?
There are still games due out. Gravity Rush next month, Mortal Kombat just came out, most consoles do suffer 'dry spells' at, and a little after launch. It is normal. Just have to wait it out in truth, and buy the games that are interesting to you.
Tis part of the joy of being an 'early adopter' in truth, there is less for it, and you get to play the waiting game quite often. Again, this is normal.
the vita will be okay. it just needs more games which will come
That's the irony I have no life. :P
Well, just like when the PS3 came out, I played ton of PS2 games on it. With the Vita I have 6 vita games and 5 PSP titles. I think I'm good for right now. Resistance and Gravity rush are releasing in the coming months and then its E3. Chill out people :o
Theres PLENTY of games on the vita.
Just bc some people dont want to play them doesnt mean theres not anything to play.
I have:
Uncharted, Unit 13, MK, Hot Shots, Ninja Gaiden, Ridge Racer, Modnation, Lil Deviants, Lumines, Escape Plan, Motorstorm RC, Stardust & Plants vs Zombies.
This is more than enough to tide me over until Resistance & Gravity Rush.
Plus LBP and MGS HD is coming soon.
So for there being a dry spell, i sure havent touched my ps3 since feb!
I play my vita everyday, and i have yet to regret it or get bored with it.
