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".

Potion I never really did anything with the rep system on the 360, nor did it do anything for me. So a rep system on the ps4 seems pretty pointless IMO


Me either, I never found a point for it other than to prefer players so they could be on my team.


i dont even know how the rep system works on the xbox 360

-Mark I have never really found reputation systems on consoles that effective. No matter what you will always be in a game with someone who is an absolute jerk.


That's because they use to do nothing but with the Xbox One it will make ppl be nicer to do stuff they like. I hope sony does something that has consequences becuase if they don't it wont make a diffrence if it says your a meanface on your profile. like 360 and PS3 did.
