"It has been six months since Sony launched their massively multiplayer online shooter MAG and as with many online games, time has started to dwindle their numbers. MAG fan and Kotaku reader JG Mills wrote to us to ask: 'How long will Zipper & Sony support the MAG servers as their user numbers are dropping?'...The short answer, from Sony Computer Entertainment of America, is: 'There are still lots of people playing MAG, so there are no plans to alter support of the servers.'"
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.
they should
I like this game and I still play it from time to time
and it got great community
I just like how most winners (mostly sever) shoot in the air as soon as they win
when you look at the sky at that time it just feels so good
like some kind of a this big space war just went on
lol
damn, i still gotta try this game out.
One of the best Tactical Shooters online. Team gameplay is the way to win. Along with BFBC2, is just matter to play right in the squads.
I've gotten about six games since I bought mag but I usually play it two to three times more often than anything else.
I love having a leadership position and altering the entire flow of a battle for an entire dom match.
Heh...I could not stay committed to it more then a couple of weeks. Good for them. A horrible lack of teamwork, nobody uses their mics, fragfest, maps were horribly unbalanced. Perhaps they fixed some of that but I dont wait for a game to be patched to the proper standards nor should any gamer be expected to. I still own it so I guess there is always a chance I could give it another chance. Doubtful though.
