After AI has 'fixed the problematic content' in Saving Private Ryan, Return of the King, Braveheart etc.

And this will be the only version available to buy by the way.

If you care about censorship, you wouldn't be playing games on Playstation in 2025 anyways. They've been a primary driver of it for years now.

Ever since they moved PlayStation HQ to fucking Commiefornia.

Isn't that the whole point of this patent?

Oh, and I'll repeat once again...... Companies make patents all the time to protect ideas, it does not mean these ideas will ever get made. In fact, we've seen loads of FUD threads about Sony patents for years and very few ever come to fruition but people like to dump on Sony I guess.

Why does this need a patent at all? I don't want a console to interfere with what I am doing. The console just needs to play the fucking game and fuck off otherwise.

Sony registers tons of patents every year for tons of different things and very few ever get applied to anything.
It's just a patent, and even if it is implemented it's only to chosen profiles, I don't understand why people are crying WAHHH CENSORSHIP over this.

Sony as a platform holder could make developers censor games in any way Sony wanted, there would be no need to patent this if their goal was just to censor games.

 

[Loomy]

WE need a reset I think.

That's why we need a reset imo

What do you have in mind?

Because they could create single content for 18+ and then use AI to make that content suitable for younger ages. It would be your choice to turn that on or off or it would be based on your date of birth for the logged in account.

It needs a patent because the idea is a good one in theory so they want to protect that idea.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I am mostly opposed to this, but not completely. I would be OK as long as we adults have the option to keep it.

 

[StereoVsn]

The KGB could only dream of having censoring tech such as this.

One of the reasons CCP has been heavily investing into AI is capability for pervasive censorship without the need to have hundreds of thousands of censors to monitor everything.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

only a matter of time before they start using this to inject DEI in their games, like adding diversity to kcd 2

 

[Mozza]

Is any corporation your "friend"?

Of course not, and anyone thinking so is delusional.... But they don't have to go after the porn... That's a bit below the belt.

"Insert deepfake replacement content."

And here I thought that term was homebrew. That is quite unsettling, to see it used seriously and officially.

AI shitshow.

 

[DenchDeckard]

What do you have in mind?

I'm hoping for a kind of semi crash which causes a hardware regression in some ways. This DDR situation will help to be honest but prices need to go back to being a low barrier to entry with lower specs imo forcing Devs to do a better job getting games to run well.

There would be a kind of crash but really developers that love games would find ways to deliver awesome games for budgets of like 5 to 10 million and then let them steadily increase again.(Expedition 33 style)

So Games only need a few million to be successful, we who love games get to play awesome games not ruined all the slop.

There's probably no chance and we will be all forced to stream games.......

Sounds useful for parents.

For lazy and stupid parents, yes.

From a conceptual point of view, the idea is very bad.

The line between mature and kids content is deeper than boobs and gore. The inventor of this believes that movies like Starship Troopers or games like TLOU would be suitable for kinds if they removed the explicit parts and that's wrong.

I don't want videogames or movies made by algorithms that try to "optimize their target audiences" by delivering slop that could be consumed equally censored/uncensored.

Wake me up when even 10% of these patents we always rage about for over 2 decades on here, ever come to fruition.

Most patents are filed to prevent/block others from even doing certain things, and they tend to vault them forever in those endeavors.

 

[Madonis]

As long as this is an optional feature, I am not against it.

It would even be darkly hilarious in a sense.

Mostly this.

 

[Fess]

If it can automatically turn a not quite child friendly game safe then what's the problem?
It's not like it's meant to be used for adults.

Wait you mean you don't have to stand up and yell McDonald's at the tv to get the boot up ad to go away when you try to launch a PS5 game?

AM I THE ONLY ONE?!

The problem? The game already have age restriction, the console already have age restriction that you can configure on the fly.

All those things can be used anytime, never used for lazy one thats for sure.

If Sony want to help parents they should restrict credit card used from kids.

I got in the beta and it works pretty well.

What if a game don't need to have age restrictions with this tech? What if you can just set your age and the game will automatically get tuned for your age? Maybe it could tweak Horizon to not have human kills so it becomes the ultimate kids game - I mean, it has Dinosaurs and Robots!

Is any corporation your "friend"?

Are customers who glaze a game and company (like BG3) and then immediately turn on it after a bad headline (AI) the friends of these corporations?

There is no friendship either way.

This is the problem with gaming now.

These suits want every single product to be appealing to every single person.

The world doesn't work that way.

WE need a reset I think.

Exactly bean counters ruining everything trying to appeal to everyone.

Dont worry just yet, google stadia had sold terribly and every trailer of it had extremly terrible views numbers, amazon's luna is 10x as worse/has even worse views numbers, so we will be all long dead or enjoying our proper stationary ps9 before actual streaming/cloud future comes to life

 

[darrylgorn]

What are you talking about? Mortal Kombat was obviously the most kid-friendly game ever:

Oh man, the days before every rainbow meant gay.

I'm too buzzed to understand that thread name. But it seems to me that Sony is continuing down the wrong path.
