Media Street writes: "The Internet recently exploded with brand new "leaked" images of Sony's long-rumored hardware revision of the PlayStation 3, leaving many to believe that - if found to be real - the imminent launch of a PlayStation 4 could be a bit farther than anticipated."
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.
Just to clarify, PS2 90000 series, or the "remade again" version did launch in 2007 in Japan, however it didn't mke it stateside until September 2008, almost a year and a half later.
I like the glossy finish and the touch buttons of my "fat PS3", I wasn't much of a fan of the "slim PS3" with the flat black finish and the actual buttons, but this new "super slim PS3" is just plain ugly...and talks about how the top slides over to insert the disc...so basically all the cool and modern technology they used on the "fat PS3" they stripped away..isn't technology suppose to get better, why are we going backwards? just because it's cheaper!! While I do agree it is a smart move by Sony, it'll help save them money on production costs even if it is a few dollars on each unit, over the next couple of years added up it'll save them a ton, and since they'll be cheaper to make they Sony can sell them cheaper, which puts them in a good spot when they release the PS4, and that way there's a significant price difference between two when the PS4 is launched.
This will definatley make Microsoft put their new Xbox out first. Once the price drops you will see a surge in ps3 sales and eventually surpase the Xbox in total numbers sold. Doesn't look like Sony is in any hurry to jump in next gen. Big gamble in putting out a $400 or more console in this economy.
These xbots think the current gen wil be over when Microsoft stops supporting the 360. Which will be mere months after the new Xbox is in stores. I stopped supporting Microsoft when they stopped supporting games for gamers, not this kinect crap.
I can't believe it'll look like that, but I like the 16gb cause people just going to swap it with there own anyway like me.
