PS4 reputation system reportedly under consideration

4.5
Sony is reportedly considering the possibility of introducing a PS4 user reputation system, among other new features.

The user rating system was mentioned in a survey sent to select customers by Sony, according to VGX.

As well as a reputation system, the survey asks respondents to rate the attractiveness of a number of potential features. They include an advanced matchmaking system, cross-chat and synchronisation of messages across PlayStation platforms, the ability to change PlayStation usernames, the capability to party chat with more than eight people at once, and the ability to appear invisible when online.

An upcoming PS4 update will improve the console's sharing and streaming options, while Sony also intends to enable users to dim the DualShock 4's colour-changing lightbar.

Meanwhile, Infamous studio Sucker Punch recently claimed that support for pre-loading digital PS4 games will be introduced in April.

In late March, Microsoft detailed its new Xbox Live reputation system for Xbox One. The three tier system covers 'Good' players, 'Needs Work' ones, and 'Avoid Me' players, who may be subject to penalties like "reduced matchmaking pairings" and bans from "certain privileges such as Twitch broadcasting".

Don't like this idea too much if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I hate this idea, its bad enough on the Xbox360, i've seen a whole party of people gang up on one person, and ruined their rep.

Than I wish you could change your name on the PS. The reputation is pretty stupid and will do nothing at all.


If it doesn't have anything to do with anything why is it there? Also, you can't change your name on PS?!

Hmm. Good call on that, hopefully it doesn't though.


Hackers will be hacking im afraid.

Being able to change your name would be nice however I kind like that you cant the same time. Other wise I would be constantly changeing my name


I also like how you can't. Just make a decent name when you create an account and then you wont have to change.

Just make a name you like when you create your account? People would be constantly changing their username on Sony consoles if they had the option to. It would be nice as I change my GT every year or 2 on XBL so would be nice to have the same option on PS4 but not really needed. Then again, Sony would make a lot of money from it if they charged for name changes like Microsoft do. The reputation idea is a good one IMHO. This helps you avoid players if necessary. Also lets you know if you're a avoided player or not.

I don't see the point in the reputation.

On my main people report me for doing nothing so it's not too effective.
