It is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to prevent players from unwanted gutting.
Sony has filed a new patent with the USPTO, United States Patent and Trademark Office, aimed at creating a service that blocks spoilers to prevent video game players. This is how the company's bet is defined, at least, which is based on implementing systems and methods that allow identifying data and metadata related to a specific object and making it hide from the user's view if it wishes if it is a potential gutter .
The technology they work with is intended for users who play video games. "The spoiler is the description of a major storyline in a video game that, if previously known, reduces surprise or suspense for the first time it is played. Exposing yourself to gut may degrade the quality of the overall gaming experience, and it can make players lose interest in them. "
In the description, Sony indicates that "avoiding spoilers is very important for players in titles with a strong narrative, as they can prevent players from connecting deeply with the community of players who have finished the game." For these reasons, it is explained that "they are a concern in single player games, cooperative type PVE, etc.".
Available on PS5?
From what is understood from the description, what is considered a spoiler in each game will depend on the developers and the community, and will allow to hide elements from other players. Weapons, activities, locations and more can be included in the patent, not only narrative themes. It is not mentioned at any time if it will be something to implement on PS5.
This comes just days after we learned about the massive gut issues The Last of Us II has suffered recently, with scenes, storylines, and endings gutted online allegedly by a former Naughty Dog worker.
