XMNR: Sony’s E3 presentation on Monday was bolstered by a solid line-up of first-party games for the Playstation 3 but there were still some oddities and disappointments particularly for PS Vita owners. Like my look at Microsoft’s E3 conference, I slept on it for a night before putting together the good, the bad, the ugly and the missing.
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.
? It isn't even a zombie game. I know, I know, "They're infected, same thing!". But there were no zombies/infected/whatever in that whole demo. In fact, we haven't seen any infected in any TLoU related videos since the VGAs.
The Wonderbook thing dragged on a little too long IMO but other than that, I was very impressed with Beyond and Last of Us.
I will get a Vita eventually.
Best e3 conference although not many surprises. Last of us and beyond was easily better thn anything shwn by the big three.
Assassins creed 3 looked good abd had watchdogs been running on a consoke it would have been in my top three but ubisoft confirmed it was running on high end pc
Video Games is heading into a boring gimmicky direction.
i wont say im exactly disapointed, but maybe my expectations where a little high. i was almost expecting to to see Agent, The Last Guardian, LBP Karting, Dust 514 and Sly 4 at the press conference. also with sony saying theve got "uber exciting stuff for ps plus" and the rumor of the cloud streaming service, i thought a cloud streaming service would be coming via ps plus. and then there was an article posted on this site that Hideo Kojima was spotted at the sony camp. what on earth could he be doing there except to announce something? like he wouldnt take a flight from japan to california for nothing. i thought PS gamers were in for something special. but alas, it was pretty empty regarding exciting suprises, besides the good stuff sony had in store that was expected (GOW, TLOU, Quantic Dream etc.) also, i was hoping to maybe see an announcement of KZ4 or a glimpse of the KZ for the Vita, but you cant put all your eggs in one basket. theres still Gamescom and TGS to come. maybe we will see a bit of what i posted above then
