I’m here to convince you that Sony won the E3 2010 battle by entertaining the hell out of the keynote crowd, maximizing the amount of press on hand, and combining entertainment with more than a few surprises and some big title announcements that made fans (and one VP in particular) very happy...
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.
I think Sony did not win. Why? Sony's revolutionary tech was not motion, but rather it was 3D. While I'm sure it was impressive, Nintendo did it without glasses. If Nintendo's best > Sony's best, didn't Nintendo win?
Edit @ below
I never said I wasn't impressed with Sony's conference. To me, Sony's biggest thing was 3D. It was awesome. I'm not knocking that. But Nintendo is offering something quite similar at a fraction of the cost. It's like 10 years ago when SEGA announced the Dreamcast price ($300 I think) and then Sony announced the PS2 at $200.
i disagree. it's not all about technology.
Twisted Metal was a bold move by Jaffe. Lying to us and then revealing? Still, never mind. Move looks more and more like Wii HD to me to be honest.
Can we stop with all the "winning" crap? There is no E3 trophy. There is no war. Just a bunch of idiots running around with wide open wallets.
I was impressed with their conference on a lot of levels, including the fact that they made non-believers, believers!
I was skeptical of the Move. They said they were going to make it fun for the hardcore, and I didn't believe that for one second (even with SOCOM 4). Then they showed some more at E3 and it actually got me excited, especially with RE5 getting support.
Then 3D. So many people knocked on it. The best example of that would be IGN's Greg Miller. He despised 3D and thought it was the dumbest thing in the world. He revealed afterwards that he was very impressed with the 3D showing by Sony, especially with MotorStorm Apocalypse. Mostly everyone else said Killzone 3 looked fantastic in 3D, skeptics included.
I won't be shelling out any money for it, but hearing good things about it makes me feel like I want to check it out, especially with GT5.
