Today SCEJ fully revealed the World Game Project, a series of events that aims to raise the awareness of Western Games to Japanese Gamers
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
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
Interesting. Now it should work the other way around too. ;)
Ok, so here's the thing with when it comes to Japanese gamers and western games. THis isn't to upset people in anyway but it's known throughout the industry that the Japanese are a very nationalistic society. Everything (and with good reason) is all about Japan, with the gaming industry probably leading the debate.
Many people attributed Microsofts epic fail there to the fact that the Japanese can't adapt to the bigger controllers, and this was something that was started last gen with the original Xbox, prompting MS to launch the controller "S" (remember that). But I think that people who believe this are just completely wrong because the real reason why MS cannot build up anything in that country is because it's an AMERICAN product.
Don't get me wrong, they love our Music and Movies, artists, and actors, but when it comes to consumer electronics and software there just isn't an American footprint there unless it's something like World of Warcraft, Halo, Call of Duty or Uncharted. Let's see if a program like this can change some of the mindset out there, but I unfortunately doubt it.
