Japanese Publishers Stress PS3, Patching
Need to test games rigorously fading, says Square Enix president.
by Anoop Gantayat

July 6, 2006 - A number of third party executives gathered on 7/6 at a press meeting hosted in Tokyo by Japan's CESA (Computer Entertainment Software Association). Big names like Square Enix president Yoichi Wada and Bandai Namco Games' vice president Shin Unozawa shared thoughts on the future of gaming.

Wada spoke about the importance of online gaming. This importance, he said, isn't just limited to heavy Online titles like massively multiplayer online RPGs, but all titles overall. Wada also mentioned a system where players would download the first chapter of a game for free, then make payments in order to download subsequent chapters.

Online will also allow for easy ad placement in games, Wada said. Hopefully not in Final Fantasy XIII!

PC gamers are going to love this one. Wada also pointed out that, with permanent online connections, it's possible to update game software. "Game makers have, until now, incurred great cost during development for debugging," he said. "Perhaps we can reduce this cost." Wada suggested that, thanks to the availability of software updates, developers won't have to work so hard to find the zaniest bugs. Wada didn't use the word "patch," strictly, but if he were a native English speaker, he might have.

Jeff Minter tells Sony, "Nobody likes smug"
Friday 7-Jul-2006 11:49 AM Videogames luminary on the need for games in the next-gen, not arrogance

Since the PS3 official unveiling, we've been hearing Sony execs extolling the virtues of the machine in increasingly astonishing ways. Most memorably, Ken Kutaragi telling gamers they should start working harder, because the console's going to be pretty damned expensive.

It seems that Sony's attitude hasn't escaped those on the development side of the industry and now videogames luminary Jeff Minter - of Llamasoft fame - has stepped up to give Sony a piece of his mind.

Writing in the latest issue of Edge magazine, Minter describes Sony's attitude as seeming "incredibly arrogant". Says Minter, "They seem absolutely certain that even when they say that it's going to be considerably more expensive than existing consoles, and that maybe there won't be that many titles actually available at launch, nonetheless us eager customers will rush out in droves to buy it because, hey, it's a new PlayStation."


Minter argues, "Just making the shiniest, most expensive harware doesn't cut it these days. Sure the PSP was beautiful, shining, pretty and posh, whereas the DS was definitely the ugly sister. But hey, the ugly sister is better in the sack".

For Minter, you see, it's all about the games and, at the moment, he feels the PS3 is distincly lacking in that area: "Yeah, you've got the lion's share of the current market, but don't get smug, Sony. Nobody likes smug, and it's not an attitude that has served companies well in the videogames industry."

He continues, "We need games, not smugness, games that will make me want to get hold of the PS3 rather than a bunch of stuff either identical or broadly similar to what I'll be playing on my 360. I want sweet Feisar temptation, not a bit of snotty attitude."
