PlayStation Euphoria writes: "Having seen many Sony E3 press conferences in the past, I’ve seen a lot of announcements and changes that I have not been happy with. From the PS3 price point, to the first move demonstration, thankfully there have been a lot of good things to keep me satisfied with Sony. The same is true this year; despite the times that Sony disappoints me they always impress me too."
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.
Yeah, Sony has really been picking it up as far as PS Plus goes. Great offers, great discounts, and betas this year.
The Ultimate deals that people are "getting the middle" finger from have DLC included, so if you want the DLC you would have to pay regardless of what they gave you. So no one gets the finger imo. They paid, but they get more than someone who didn't, and they keep it forever.
+ Is a form of advertising as well. Give you Infamous 2, you like, now you want Fest of Blood.
Like Saints Row 2, wanna go buy 3
Like Ratchet and Clank, think about buying the next.
etc....
This works on so many levels for us as consumers and Sony as a business.
I have plus, but do not think new features should be a part of it. Everyone should have all features. Cloud saves I can understand as that has cost associated with running the servers.
@syanara - absolutely not, making it a requirement would be a terrible idea and they would never do that.
June's offerings alone where overkill
Tell me something: How the heck else would they get new customers if not by proving how great of offerings they have?
Is Microsoft buying new XBL customers by adding NHL, NBA, and other features?
DL'd Ratchet and clank, Lara Croft and Sideway (which is surprisingly fun.) Great content. Cant wait to see what's next.
