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".

How is the ability to change username not the top part of this article here? That's some great news!

Tickets The reputation feature is utterly stupid.


Agreed, the Xbox reputation system is broken as it is and the Xbox One wants to ban people with this stupid system...

Everything sounds good besides name changing and especially the reputation system, i don't know why but i have always like the whole once you choose your name its there thing its annoying when people change their name all the time and the whole reputation system thing will always be flawed no matter what.

I think it would also be nice to be able to change your name.

Seems both companies are actually trying to make their communities better.

The reputation system is a very important feature in my opinion, it helps avoiding people in matchmaking and see who is a good player very easily.

I would love to have a reputation system on the PS4. And, if they truly do decide to make it to where you could change your usernames. That would be great, too.

If this is added, I really hope it works. Unlike the 360s.
