In 1995, Sony (NYSE: SNE ) gave birth to a brand that became one of the strongest and most resilient around the world - PlayStation.
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.
As do others I know, so Sony succeeded w/ me and my immediate surrounding crowd.
The only wrong step from Sony was the PSPGo. Other than that, the Playstation brand has always surpassed any quality standard.
Selling a console for 600$ coming in second place speaks volumes of brand strength.
Building reliable machines a great solid product. A great solid line of titles. Adding Blu-Ray to a machine was a great gamble that paid off. Sony has done great fixing their past mistakes with the PS3 launch now its a solid platform. I still do not have a Vita can't comment on that I thought the PSP was great I still play mine. I thought the PSP go was differant its not my cup of tea. The PSN is great still has some little issues hopefully Sony will fix those issues with the PS4. As far as the PS4 is concerned I already have my name down for one so my EB games will let me know when it enters in their computer I am there. Sony and the Playstation brand can only get stronger from here. Especially since now you can get games from the PSN store from a Sony Xperia cell phone. And Sony's customer service through there 1-800 number is some of the best service I had they are very freindly and very helpful I am happy with the Playstation brand. Only thing I can really say is Sony needs to advertise titles and the PS3, the Vita and its titles a little more.
PS is primarily a console gaming brand. Until Gakai is fully utilize i don't see how Sony can maximize it further outside of console space.
In Console space. Sony has done most of what it can in maximizing the PS brand.
Sony has
* Legitimize Gaming as a serious form of entertainment
* Fist company to sell 100 million consoles
* Fist company to sell 100 million consoles back to back and are on their way to a 3 peat.
I am not sure what more Sony can do.
