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."

PS3 massive back 'pat prospects
Monday 10-Jul-2006 4:48 PM The PS3 already plays all but 40 PSone titles, opening up massive back 'pat possibilities according to IBM's Tom Reeves

The PlayStation 3 could be backwardly compatible with pretty much every original PS2 and PSone game according to IBM's Tom Reeves, the man who's in charge of semiconductor and technology services at IBM.

Speaking to Electronic News, Reeves, who was discussing the intricacies of PS3 chip design and manufacture, said, "Sony are very concerned about quality and backward compatibility. They want to get this right. They tested game after game after game. When there were about 40 Playstation One games that didn't work properly, that didn't pass their criteria for quality."

So we could be in for a massive list of back 'pat titles on PS3 encompassing pretty much every original release, providing Sony of course wants to go that route. Recent indications are that a mass of original PSone games may be heading for the PSP, a more likely and indeed suitable platform for the now rather aged PSone catalogue. By comparison, Microsoft's Xbox 360 emulates original Xbox titles, with just over 200 currently available for play on your 360.

Reeves also explored the (remote) possibility of a slightly dumbed down budget PlayStation 3 which could be powered by fewer Cell processing cores, making for a much cheaper machine. Reeves admitted it could happen but, "I don't think Sony has thought about offering that."

It was thought to be a misplaced watermark, a subliminal hint at an upcoming partnership or possibly even a simple mistake. Whatever the case, online forums were abuzz today with speculation over the following image, captured from the Flash intro at Sony's official PS3 site:

Plaatje

It flashed by almost too quickly to see, but it was visible to anyone who loaded up the site this morning. By 11:30 A.M. Pacific time, however - after forum posters had gone wild and journalists had bombarded Sony with calls - the smoke-filled Flash animation was replaced with a simpler one, and the Apple logo had disappeared.

Was it just an error, or was there some sort of secret partnership in the works between Sony's next-gen monster and the creators of the iPod? Earlier today, we speculated that Apple might be developing a PS3 version of iTunes, or that it might be collaborating with Sony on the PS3 operating system.

According to Sony, however, it was all just a misunderstanding:

"In a recent update to the PlayStation 3 section of (Sony's website), an external error was made during the upload process and the Apple icon was mistakenly placed on the site," the company said in a statement this evening. "We immediately fixed the problem and apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

I call bullshit. Ik werk dagelijks met uploads van flash-animaties, en er is nog nooit een Apple-logo per ongeluk IN de animatie gekomen, of welk ander logo dan ook.

Als je rustig wat wilt gaan doen is herrie om je heen niet prettig, er gingen geruchten rond dat de PS3 net zo stil zou zijn als de Slimline PS2. Dit was een gerucht dus werd dit niet hier geplaatst.

SCEE heeft echter kunnen bevestigen dat de PS3 echt een stil apparaat word, het produceert maar 29 decibel. Dat is ongeveer gelijk aan de PS2 slimline. Dit is echter een nieuwtje dat niet echt erg belangrijk is maar toch wel handig om te weten want ik vind zoals denk ik meerdere van jullie het erg irritant om te gamen met iets dat herrie maakt, dat is met een film helemaal erg. Weer een stap in de goede richting en het is een feit dat Sony erg veel tijd in het ontwikkelen van een zeer prettig apparaat steek en dat is maar goed ook.
