PS4- The first console able to cheer you up when you lose?

clicka

Frankly, this is a very scary idea to me. Either they’ve moved April Fool’s day 4 months backwards or Sony are planning to, eventually, implant little microchips in people’s minds? What next? PS5 to wipe your arse for you? PS6 to wake you in the morning with buttered scones and a pot of tea?

Please tell me this is a piss-take. :thud: I long for the simpler times of the Spectrum. :get it?:

I wish we could go back to the simple days when video game consoles were used to, PLAY VIDEO GAMES…

**cries in the corner clutching his Neo*Geo

I can imagine how this would work:

Guy: “I can’t believe she broke up with me!”
PS4: “Cheer up. It will get better.”
Guy: “SHUT UP! smashes his PS4 to pieces Damn, now I need to buy another $1000 dollar console!”

That is freaky.
Soon they’ll announce that the PS5 will be able to replace all emotional and physical contact.

Thats fine, just as long as i can still use it to fire surface to air Missles.

I’m still waiting for some major advances in true virtual reality. It’ll happen someday, oh yes. And then, just imagine what that will do for hentai games and, err, I mean, realistic gaming environments, yeah…
:wave:

I long for the days without 5 minute opening sequences and the NES was the only console around.

Nah. Virtual Reality is bad for the eyes.
What I want is a Holodeck (from Star Trek)!

Yeah, I can just see it now.

“Open the save file, PS.”

“I’m sorry Dave, but I can’t do that. You have a big project due, and if you don’t finish it, you’ll be grounded, and I’m not programmed for that eventuality.”

Edit: And I just saw this from the article, and laughed out loud:

Harrison also envisioned a day where a PlayStation could not only sense a player’s emotional reaction to entertainment, but offer advice on alternatives–like a cross between TiVo and HAL 9000. “If somebody is watching [a show] and starts to slump back and lose the will to live,” said Harrison, “[the computer] might suggest some other forms of entertainment.”

Amen.

I can see it now:

Kid: “Awww… I wanna go commit suicide now.”
PS4: “Don’t do that.”
Kid: “But what other entertainment can I get?”
PS4: “Well… you wanna see a dead body?”

Wow, there was a time when games didn’t have 5 minute opening sequences?

Wow… :hahaha; :mwahaha: :hahaha;

I like the long openings.
Gives me a chance to get situated perfectly in my chair ^^

The fact that a system would have that doesn’t bother me by that fact alone - what bothers me is that we’re gonna have to PAY for that when we buy the system. It’s just like buying a care with all kindsa unneeded addons for tons more than the retail value (Which actually was a problem a few years ago, still might be). Now we’ll be doing the exact same thing for fucking video game consoles. All I wanna do is play a game, shit.

Yea but then getting up and using the bathroom, getting food/drinks is a bitch. I prefer to be cautiously comfortable

Kid: PS4?
PS4: Yeah?
Kid: You are my best friend.
PS4: Well, I shouldn’t be. Go outside and get a life!
Kid: But…
PS4: NOW! Man, these kids are spoiled…

Now Sony’s just throwing shit around. Remember the PS3 toaster?

The EyeToy included in the PS3, OKAY, if they’re going to integrated peripherals I’d rather have something else, but it’s still cool to have.

I must aporogize for returning to e previous point, but I’m much more interested in the progress true Virtuar Rearity that affects your senses directry …

Yes. Direct mental interface is the path of the future.
