PS3 rids voice chat due to foul mouth gamers

I have been beta testing the PS3 Home for a couple months and the one thing that has always been present is the public voice chat. However, Sony recently took that feature away via firmware update. It seems like Sony has brought that feature back handicapped, which is most likely due to foul mouth gamers inside Home.

Speculation not fact from a blog. This was not the reason voice chat was taken out. Title is misleading. Flamebait.

Not only is it a beta.. but Sony never gave any specific reasons for voice chat degradation.I'm sure we can all assume what it is, but how can you assume, then write a blog, and state it as fact? Gaming journalism is garbage. Its all just some random brain fart jotted down on a blog and snuck into n4g.

Rock Bottom5629d ago

Taking voice chat out was a big disappointment, but I have to say, I never felt comfortable talking with someone with a foul mouth while he's out of the reach of my hands.

chewy3175629d ago

wtf they already said that taking voice chat out was to stablize the servers as a huge amount of voice chat is affecting servers

lsujester5629d ago

Amen. Nothing quite so infuriating as having a friendly chat over a game of bowling and not be able to hear because some moron is going around shouting about everyone being a gay black man (not worded like that).

kk so whats up damit this guy a real somebody or what? Cause i mean unless hes in the know at the sony Home department it cant b all reliable right.
Tho it does make sense and makes me glad sony did it now since the phone still works n open chats on in our apt and clubs all should b safer for the users who dont wanna hear any potty mouth eh ;)
Tho i hope they make some fo those adult zones open chat after they debut...

Vip3r5629d ago

Voice chat was taken out to help sort out the bandwidth/server problems Home was having.

barom5629d ago

Honestly I rarely heard anyone talk and the ones that did was just talkin crap. Of course, I'm not saying I don't want the feature (because I do) but in many ways I don't really care.

kwicksandz5629d ago

at least this can dispel the myth that one consoles owners are more mature then the other. put a mic in front of anyones mouth and they become a jerk reguardless of what box is under their tv

claney5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

almost spot on

but then again im a socom player

specialguest5629d ago

Your avatar confuses my brain. It causes my right brain to try to process what I'm see instead of my left.

LoVeRSaMa5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

The writer of this Artical is SO restarded.

1) Voice Chat was removed because it was using lots of bandwidth creating lots of errors while trying to connect.
2) I wasnt removed Via "Firmware Update" the KIdiot, it was by a Home Patch. Firmware is SYSTEM Software for Hardware.

This guy knows nothing, I am not even going to waste my time viewing his website.

Tempist5629d ago

NONE THE LESS, we are all aware that the longer Home was going to be running the more likely it was going to degrade into the XBL voice chat experience. I think it's a smooth move for them to stop it now before it progresses.

Just because you can't always be a prick in public, doesn't give to the right to do so in Home (which is still a public place)

Who wants to bet this will be in Beta until the PS4 or PSP2 release?
Who wants to bet that fanboys will still defend this "Beta" when that time comes?

Blademask5630d ago

What difference does it make to you?
Why do you care what fanboys say?
Why does it bother you if it remains in beta form? Like Gmail. Beta means there is never a full release, because you keep upgrading it.

Answer all of those questions. Else just look like you are crying.

Sez 5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

i understand what your saying and i agree. home is not a beta. sony is just trying to hide behind the word beta. because this is all they could come up with. after two years of tell people what home would do for gamers,dev's,ect. and this is all they came up with.

yeah.these fanboy will defend it. by claiming it's a beta. because it's not finished. then why did sony delay it so much just to give the public this garbage and throw a beta sign on it so people would be dumb enough to go with it.and not feel like sony jerked them all this time. well i seen this BS coming. HOME SUCKS. and calling it a beta isn't going to change the fact that sony F@CKED UP BIG TIME. home didn't do what it was surpose to do, it boring as hell, it's other pointless,and it feels like sony has been wasting everyone's time with this B@LLSHIT.

Armyless5629d ago

grow an IQ if you can, reading your post hurt my brain.

Sez 5629d ago

i have an IQ. sad that you can use yours because it hurt you to think.

Narutone665628d ago

called a beta console too. To the xbox fanboys, quit trashing a free social network software which are still in beta. And quit trolling the PS3 thread.

Spike475630d ago

around in Home I realize why Sony made the decision they made. Either way, they can just run away or tell that person to get away or threaten them with a report.

Sarick5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

The age rating can be set for some areas or who has mic access.

If they don't want X rated voice chat all they need to do is limit user's mic access by age E-T rated zones disable public voice chat.

If a user selects M as their rating they can enter all rated zones through invites but lose public voice chat if the zone is below M rating. Mature audiences default to M zones with voice chat enabled. This way adults enter instances where mature audiences are and under 18 people are restricted from M zones that have public voice chat enabled.

Voice chat has been back for a couple of days now. And the voice chat was temporarily taken away to repair the connection issues people were having

aftrdark215629d ago

It's been back for a few days now. Apparently this guy writing this article and the people approving it don't have PS3s or haven't logged into HOME recently.

This article is just flamebait.

Thank you for being the voice of reason.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

Of course Christopher would submit this lol.

PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”

Giga_Gaia1h ago

Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.

MyDripMyDripO1h ago

No Sony game looks as good as HB2. Not even close

Eonjay1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...

Nevermind alt...

MyDripMyDripO1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂

Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?

😂😂

You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
