If you were a kid in the 90s this is going to be a moment of sweet nostalgia for you. Saturday 3rd December 2011 was the 17th birthday of the original Sony games console: the Playstation. Part of the fifth-generation of consoles, the Playstation upped the ante from the Sega Saturn, SNES and Neo Geo which were both part of the 16-bit era. Sony sold over 102 million Playstations worldwide; way over double the amount of Mega Drives or Neo Geos sold. The 32-bit graphics were mind-blowing to the 90s gamers and there was the arrival of the analog sticks we know well and love dearly. The Playstation is the reason for the gaming industry being the size it is today. Xbigygames retrieved their PS One from the cupboard to compile a top 10 of the best Playstation games. Here it is:
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
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
Wouldn't you say FF 7-9 instead of just 7....I mean don't get me wrong I thought the game was great but with it being so over rated these days people are forgetting that people found FF8 or even FF9 better.......to be honest those two games actually did most things better then FF7.
I don't agree with that. I think that 7 had the best story and battle system. 8 and 9 were good, but 7 was my favourite.Of course this is just writer Megan's opinion
What about Spyro? The originals on the PS1 were fantastic.
-Also I'm glad they didn't foget Crash :)
Where is Resident Evil 2?
Wheres Resident evil
