Title: The PS3 Might be Getting Emotional
Post by: ShadowBrain on August 20, 2009, 04:30:15 PM: Link (http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/patterson/55808) (Or here (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AmKaIBiB74Ub9ep7HZUyZXeOMJA5/SIG=13eos85gl/**http%3A//www.siliconera.com/2009/08/14/scea-experimenting-with-laugh-detecting-emotional-tracking-software/))

Yeah, it's just a patent, with the usual creepy people and bizarre diagrams, but what do you think? Disturbing or potentially awesome?

Uncanny.

The Mr. Batty told a bad joke you've heard before!
Ness's face is frozen in seriousness.
The Mr. Batty fled!
YOU WIN!

Just... what is anyone expecting a game to do if you laugh at it?

Post by: Mr. Wiggles on August 20, 2009, 06:11:18 PM: I thought ShadowBrian was making a lame joke about the Emotion Engine, and expected this thread to announce it was making a comeback to current systems.

Don't raise my hopes like that again.

Post by: Glorb on August 21, 2009, 07:32:02 AM: Chupperson looks like Bizarro Henry Rollins?

And who would ever actually laugh at an automatic ass-kicking machine that they had, presumably, invented themselves?

Post by: penguinwizard on August 22, 2009, 04:52:12 PM: I just came here for the diagram, man. Could they have come up with anything more ridiculous to demonstrate their idea? How is "Crazy Inventors" the first thing you'd think of to signify "funny thing on TV"? You'd think they'd put on a LOLcats or failblog instead. Or a Far Side comic.
