The Sony PS Vita has been hit with some very negative news reports over the past few weeks since it launched in Japan. Due to a steep drop in sales during its first week of launch, many have predicted doom for the next-gen Sony handheld. It is time to take a deep breath though everyone, the Sony PS Vita is going to be just fine.
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.
Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.
How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.
It's just backwards.
What your talking about is called block list
In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback
Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.
But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.
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 genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong
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
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
although this is a positive article it amazes me that even this article mentions the drop in sales in the Vitas second week. why is it that the press (even positive press) don't seem to understand the basics of console sales? i just find it really odd that this normal behaviour is poured over in this way. it is how the industry works and has done since it began. there is and was never anything to be drawn on from second week sales. every single console that ever released saw a huge drop in sales in the second week and the Vita is no exception.
even six months isn't long enough to decide but ii would be more inclined to take notice if we began this discussion then and not two weeks into the release of a brand new piece of hardware that isn't even out in all territories yet
Of course, it going to release in the west and will have some very big releases.
The Vita will be fine. Like all handhelds and consoles in the beginning it won't sell like pancakes but once the price drops and killer apps start to come out it will start to sell extremely well.

Indeed..
A positive article for the Vita? Who are you and what have you done with the real N4G?
