Allen Park writes, "At yesterday’s Sony press conference, Jack Tretton announced the production of a PlayStation branded 3D display, specifically designed for the 3D gaming experience. At 24 inches, a somewhat affordable price of $499, and with the revolutionary ability to play 2-player multiplayer on one screen without split-screen, it’s most certainly the display on the market that won’t absolutely ravage your wallet, but it is actually worth the money?
Immediately after the Sony conference ended, a couple of us were able to take a look at the displays and see how well they worked."
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.
um ... did you expect to be able to split 1 240 hz display into 4 60 hertz displays on a tech basis designed for running 2 displays... if so your a fool.
3d glasses take 2 disarate immages and merge them into differing viewpoints
its not so much a mater of the refresh rate as it is slplitting an immage
60 hz or a standard tv fill the screen upto 60 time a second thats fine for standard viewing but for 3d you need to display 2 seperate pictures lets call em a and b if you used iz3d s technique of stacked screens you get
aaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
with the 3d effect emerging as c effectivly in active chutter systems the tv alternates lines
ababababab with the glasses picking out what you need
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbb
on alterating frames faster then your eye can see it so you see both images simutaniosly what this is doing is using both parts of it to display 2 images instead of 1 3d one
ababababab
glasses one picks out player ones immage aaaaaa and glasses b pulls out the remaingng bbbbb
theres no point at which they can make a 3d effect out of that without fundamental changes in the system used
its possilbe that immages c and d could be sent to the tv and displayed on alternating frames but that would require a significant processor and ram for the tv as well as making the immages jumpy
the ghosting was likly mis shuttering of the glasses
its meeant for split screening in 2d on one screen im cool with that
as for it being game dependendt yes... but its based off of split screen tech all it has to do is runn it through a filter
most 3d tvs are 120 hz as 240 hz is costly and comes with a raft of issues
ill probobly get one because i like my sony tech if its bravia based and i think it is then great
I think over the next year or 2 ,3d tvs will become alot cheaper and it will become a more standard feature.
I liked this when Sony unveiled it. It would be perfect for a teen's bedroom where they wouldn't need a huge TV, but they want to game in 3D a little bit. I kinda wish they would've announced another model, like maybe a 46" for maybe $800.
its great buy for my room its 3d comes with glasses and a AAA 2011 exclusive with hdmi cable cumon buddy did u notice the tv is sony??? top shelf @ affordable price = no complaints
"affordable'
but its 24 inches.....k thanks but i like my 40 something inch that isnt a gimmick
