3xg says: "It was no secret that when Sony launched their PS3 it was over priced and lacked features.
The console was ridiculed by the press and gamers alike for good reason and it cost Sony dearly. Fast forward to 2010 and the landscape has completely changed, the original underdog of this generation fast becoming the top dog."
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.
It's a fine day to be owning a PS3.
Its still a loss making project for Sony. Infact for the last two years the gaming division has been pulling the entire company into losses.
.
matter Sony makes its profits through its games, plus the latest batch of slims that came out sporting smaller chip cells and rsx have the ps3slim going even, so no longer is Sony losing money on ps3s.
This is why they had the shortage earlier this year around the god of war 3 launch, because they wanted this new model out there instead. http://www.techspot.com/new...
Plus with all the exclusives coming out they will make their money back if not more than what they spend making said games.
Another thing to note is, both the new 360 and ps3 slim are at the same price this alone makes the ps3slim (with bluray) more attractive while keeping Sony profitable.
Not to mention that at the same time they still got the ps2 system out there making them profitability as well. Sony only spends about 54 on each ps2 made and they sell them things for double the price of that so...yeah Sony is good my friend.
"The exclusives arent paying off if your going off of sales."
its funny but all Sony has to sell with each of its games is about 2 million and they generate profit suitable enough anything after this point is consider surplus in their check books. besides ps3 games tend to sell in a longer periodic time frame, with the exception of god of war which by the way was the only game in all platforms to break a mill within a weeks time in the month of march.
