It may be the understatement of the year but lets face it; Motion gaming is here to stay. The E3 expo has come and gone, leaving in its wake a slew of games to salivate over for the coming months. It’s clear that most developers are beginning to invest some serious time into the concept. Not just for the casual market but for the Hardcore also. In an obvious effort to increase the console life-cycle, Sony and Microsoft have announced motion control devices to complement their current devices, launching (we hope) this fall. Both of these companies are approaching motion gaming differently, but both are using these new technologies as a way to re-launch their respective consoles. This is in no small way due to the huge success Nintendo and Apple has had with their answer to motion gaming.
With part two, we deal with Sony’s highly precise but slightly whacky-looking “Ball-on-a-stick”; PlayStation Move.
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.

That's a good written article.
"Lets all forget that sixaxis malarky"..... why!? because idiots knocked it, because ppl slated it so hard out of bias developers were afraid to use it when there was nothing wrong with it.
What independent game last year won GOTY!? oh yeah it was a game that uses nothing but sixaxis controls and was called visionary and inspired.
GTFO
Move isn't here to stay, Move is here to move!
I'm sold with Move. More than 40 Games are in the Catalog to support Move, and including real Next Gen Hardcore Games.
Good article I must admit. Cons were the obvious, all though there are more games to look forward to other then the ones he mention. I definitely am looking forward to sorcery, I wonder if Harry Potter will include Move usage upon its release.
