The strategy behind this is simple and is strikingly similar to how Sony won the Blu-ray/HD DVD format war.
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.
"The big question looming right now is if customers will buy into this...."
"As a standalone purchase the Vita TV represents a good deal, but some gamers might find it a bit awkward buying a console that is meant to played on a TV solely for handheld oriented games...."
"And with media streaming becoming integrated into just about everything that aspect of the Vita TV is unlikely to be a major driver of sales."
Japan says hi.
I'm buying into it, will get one as soon as they are available here in the US.
In fact was playing some PS3 last night on my main TV and was thinking about how nice it would be to continue play in the bedroom before going to sleep, can't wait until this is a reality.
It will be a success, and sonys deal with viAcom makes sense. This is how they are getting into people's living rooms with exclusive Sony content and with others. Especially with its low price point this will sell like crazy.
The Vita screen is 960x544, much less than even 720p (1280x720). I'm not sure how good the games will look on a television screen. They look great on a smaller screen but you'd think there would be a lot of jaggies on a larger TV screen. Does the unit upscale?
im in 100% with this if/when it makes it stateside.. i bet its going to be great once all the features are available.. Sony is owning with all this new hardware & software releasing.. ill be preordering this asap.. Only $100 to play my vita games on the TV as well as streaming content to any TV in the house? Hell yes! gaikai will become available eventually
