Rumor: The PS4 Camera Automatically Broadcasts In-Game Chat

PS4 users are reporting that the PS Camera automatically broadcasts in-game chat. It's reported that a Sony rep has confirmed this, but there's no tangible proof at this point.

seriously... He was playing an online match, where most games automatically will use voice chat if a mic is detected. You can either disable chat in said game, or just unplug the camera.... It isnt required to play

Mr_cheese4599d ago

Down vote the article and the site, that's all we need to do. N4G is getting a bit lapse lately.

Narutone664599d ago

The website is igameresponsibly.com, should be changed to ireportfud.com.

GuyThatPlaysGames4599d ago

@Mr_cheese Lately? You mean for the past few years right?

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4599d ago

Why down vote the website? Because it said something bad about your precious PS4?

Kaneda4598d ago (Edited 4598d ago )

Sony fanboys, are you sure your PSeye camera is not on? Shuhei Yoshida is watching you.. muuuhhahahahahahaaa.

unplug it! Welcome to next gen!

Dee_914598d ago

the cam for ps3 did the same thing... you could disable it though.These so called "journalist" should do their research.

@nevin

Sounds like it, but we don't know if this is 100% true though.

Thatguy-3104599d ago

It's true since the camera is detected the mic automatically works when you enter an online match. You could go to the settings and disable it to avoid it from making it the default mic. Don't know how this is news worthy since the ps3 did the same thing when the ps eye was connected.

PoSTedUP4599d ago

yeah i was gonna say, my ps3 Eye was my mic and when it read my bluetooth it would automatically switch.

you think i should test it out for you guys? like make some threats over voice chat and see if the feds show up?? : D?

Drekken4599d ago

WOAH WAIT A MINUTE! Are you telling me that having an open mic plugged into your system will automatically broadcast your voice in chat?

Nothing to see here people, just over reactors. Move along.

Utalkin2me4599d ago

If the PS4 doesn't recognize a mic then it was default use the Eye as a mic unless you disable it in the settings. People and grasping at straws...lol

n4gusername4599d ago

I could not find a way to just disable in the settings. I was with support on another issue and they told me to unplug it to turn it off.

THamm4599d ago

Umm Kinect does the same as well

Drekken4599d ago

Why aren't accounts like edonus just banned on spot? Why must we be subjected to gutter wit like "brickstation"? Lets clean up the trash.

Brix904599d ago

I have a Kinect does the same shit nothing new...I just unplug PS camera when not using it simple solution.

Kryptix4599d ago

@Drekken

I don't think the mods ever look at the comments cause edonus would of been banned a long time ago for trolling.

THamm is actually correct, the Kinect does the same thing. If a headset isn't plugged in, the console automatically uses the camera for online chatting unless unplugged or turned off.

MarkusMcNugen4599d ago

@Drekken

Wouldnt the same rule then be applied to people who call the Xbox One the Xbone?

Biggest4599d ago

Xbox + One = Xbone. How did you come to the conclusion that the abbreviation is negative?

bigboi2124599d ago

Kinect has to be turned on in settings as chat mic. It is not the default.

Kryptix4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

@bigboi

My bad for the mistake...thought it would always be on as a mic since it was set to always listen for commands and words originally. Talking about Kinect 2.0.

Pro_TactX4599d ago

@Biggest

Come on now, you know that "Xbone" is intended to be derogatory. If people simply wanted to use an abbreviation it would be less keystrokes to use "XB1", or "XBO".

falviousuk4599d ago

No it doesnt, you can mute kinect so that it doesnt broadcast voice. Try doing some research before you throw out rubbish comments like that

Condemnedman4598d ago

Yes but soooo much better.

PurpHerbison4598d ago

It only took 13 comments for someone to bring up the Xbox. Stay classy N4G, you always do.

Robdeagle4598d ago

You better hope news outlets don't see this comment or it's gonna be on the 5:00 news

frostypants4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

So...it does what Kinect has done for ages? As with Kinect, you turn the stupid thing off. Problem solved.

FanboyKilla4599d ago

Actually, kimect doesnt work like that. I have it. Thats just bad design. What do expect from a tac on devive. Kinect is way more advanced than playstation spy umm i mean eye, umm camera.

frostypants4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

BS. I have a Kinect (well, technically it's sitting in a box right now), and it DOES broadcast as a standard open mic by default if you do not turn it off. That's what this is about. You don't know what you're talking about.

falviousuk4599d ago

You can still turn kinects ic off though, it appears from early reports that you cant do this for the pseye if its plugged in.

Treezy5044599d ago

Jesus really, the PlayStation 4 camera has a built in mic and so did the last one. The mic is going to broadcast because if it's plugged in that is it's purpose. Guess how you disabled the PS3 eye mic? You unplugged it or went into your settings manually and shut it off, just like with the PS4 camera. People are freakig out over nothing.

BallsEye4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

Now that is annoying... seems sony forgot about a lot of important stuff, like this and 4th "leg" to make console stable...wobble woblle.

Hmmm....Not sure what to say/think about this.

hankmoody4599d ago

It's a rumor. Treat it as such until a proper confirmation arises.

XB1_PS44599d ago

It's safe to say that it actually is true.. It's not a spy thing happening.. It's just being used as a mic to chat online with.. They put that in other words to make it sound bad, and everyone freaks.

Sitdown4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

Spygate 2.0; Sony is listening in to my mediocre conversations about my day. Red Alert! Call 911! The all seeing eye also listens. Wait, where are all the conspiracy theorist?

Rebuttle: Its not mandatory to have the eye kinected. :-/

AngelicIceDiamond4599d ago

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

Cacabunga55d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot54d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose55d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE55d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername54d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy55d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde55d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8654d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8654d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300055d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle55d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7755d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
