PS3 Price Cut Needed, Says Ubisoft CEO
Despite this, hints at PS3 exclusive title.

In a recent talk with business news outlet, Reuters, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot had some choice words to say about Sony's faltering PS3. Guillemot believes that Sony's console -- which continues to sell under expectations -- needs a substantial price drop, and it needs it soon.

Speaking at Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit, Guillemot remarked, "For sure Sony will have a different market share... lower than before." The Ubisoft exec added, "They have to decrease the price quite significantly," but declined to expand on this statement any further.

Despite these low expectations for the machine, Guillemot hinted at an exclusive PS3 title being worked on for the console in Europe. Guillemot didn't reveal any other details on this project, but hopefully an announcement will pop up during the upcoming Ubidays press event in France.

First combi 50GB PS3 game and movie disc announced (http://avzombie.com/blog/2007/05/18/first-combi-50gb-ps3-game-and-movie-disc-announced/)
Sony says it will release the worlds first 50GB PlayStation 3 game and Blu-ray movie disc. The film is John Woos celebrated action classic Hard Boiled and the game is the kinda-sequel Stranglehold, featuring a digital version of Hard Boileds star Chow Yun-Fat.
Released as a special combi set, the title will sell for 70 dollars when it ships this summer. According to SCEAs Riley Russell: The 50GB capacity of Blu-ray Disc allows PS3 content publishers to do things simply not possible on our competitors 9GB DVD-based systems. Thanks to the advanced technology found in the PS3, developers like Midway can truly realize their visions, bringing consumers even closer to the game.

Από ότι κατάλαβα θα έχουμε παιχνίδι που μαζί θα έχει και μια ταινία σχετική με αυτό, η οποία θα είναι playable και σε απλό BR-player!

Eνδιαφέρον , με το σκεπτικό ότι κάποτε τα BR δισκάκια θα χωράνε 100 και 200GB, οπότε ίσως δούμε διαφόρων ειδών extra υλικό με τα games.
(τα extra 10$ δεν είναι καλό βέβαια...)

Rumour: Pandemic At Work On New Batman Game

Sources close to the project allege that the videogame sequel to Batman Begins, known as The Dark Knight, is under development by Pandemic Studios. Private equity firm Elevation Partners, which forged an alliance between Pandemic and BioWare in 2005, has gained the rights to the project, say insiders, but Batman Begins backer Electronic Arts will likely still publish the forthcoming action effort.

Pandemic Studios has over the years created an impressive library of hits, including Full Spectrum Warrior, Star Wars: Battlefront, Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans! Pandemic has purportedly been designing a secret title known as "Project B" for some time, although IGN was unable to confirm if this is, in fact, its Batman game.

EA's Batman Begins, an action-stealth game that played like Splinter Cell for kids, released in 2005 to mediocre reviews. The title sold a combined 400,000 units or so on GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in its first six months.

We were unable to reach Pandemic Studios for further details. A representative for Electronic Arts had no comment. Calls placed to equity firm Elevated Partners were not returned in time for publish.

Readers should consider this a rumor until we can officially confirm or debunk it. We'll stay on the story and update when further information becomes available.

PS3 Video on Demand "This Calendar Year"
Sony UK Boss confirms PAL downloadable content plans.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves has confirmed that video on-demand will be available via the PlayStation Network by the end of the year. Speaking at a PSN event in London recently, Reeves said that Sony will indeed be "offering video on demand", adding "I can't give you a time but it is not in the distant future, it will be within this calendar year."

According to Reeves, full-length movies, music and TV programmes will all be available for download, direct to both the PS3 and PSP, although he gave no indication of exactly what would be available at launch or indeed the pricing structure. Reeves added, "It will not be in all of our PAL territories but it will be in the major territories."

4. Things that make you go ... Hmmm

Using US and Japanese sales data I present to you a graph of the first 24 weeks of life for the PS family of consoles (not PSP). As you can see the PS3 is clearly out pacing the PS1 and is slightly behind the pace of the PS2. Given the huge amount of buzz coming in the future months for the PS3 we'll update this chart for you and see where we are.

Sony talks God of War III (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=164502)



Surely, Sony Computer Entertainment would be mad not to bring its flagship gore-fest God of War to the PlayStation 3 - and if the latest hints are anything to go by the Santa Monica studio is at least considering it.

"There's definitely the enthusiasm of us wanting to do that, to make the God of War III," series director Cory Barlog told ShackNews, "but there's obviously no commitment to that right now."

Right, so officially they're not working on it but that doesn't stop him offering thoughts on what a third game in the series would feature.

"Put it this way. If we ever do get to make God of War III, it'll have connections to all the games, just like [God of War PSP] has direct links to [God of War] II. So if you go and you play this game, if you remember in II or you go back and play II, you'll see situations that are directly explained because of the PSP [version] and [this game] helps flesh out [the mythology] even more. All these games have a connection to each other."

If your memory goes as far back as 2005, you'll remember that magazine press reported a PS3 God of War instalment alongside the second PS2 version. Perhaps SCE will have something to say about it come E3 in July.

Devil May Cry 4 Delayed Until 2008

Bad news for Devil May Cry fans. The release date for Devil May Cry 4 has been pushed back into 2008. Signs that this might be the case arose on 1up's write up of Devil May Cry 4 - at the top of the page was the date 1/15/2008. Of course this was no confirmation, especially since Capcom have been providing playable demos to gaming websites and events alike. Yet these demos were on the game's original platform - the Playstation 3...

In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’sDevil Bringer. This new feature has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm.

With the advanced graphical capabilities of current systems, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.

So what of the delay? Confirmation comes from Eurogamer's time with Capcom:

"Surely the game must be out soon? Not so. Fans have a further nine months to wait until it finally emerges sometime in "Q1 2008", our Capcom rep regretfully informs us."

So there you have it Devil May Cry 4 won't be hitting store shelves until early 2008. The delay may well be because of the games new mulitplatform status, since Capcom also announced a simultaneous release on the PS3, Xbox360 and PC. Or it could be that Capcom are waiting for the PS3 user base to grow. Which ever reason, hopefully the wait will be appeased by Dante's and Nero's slick moves.

Quality of Current Console Games - PS3 Leads

http://i13.tinypic.com/4xyotps.png

Often you will hear from gamers from one console group or the other "Your system has no quality games". In the last 6 months this has been true for owners of PS3, we hear it all the time. SPG has set out to investigate these claims.

To attempt impartiality on this topic we have used the ratings of MetaCritic.com. MetaCritic is owned by C|net and only rates games where their exists a minimum of 5 reviews from known, quality review sites. MetaCritic then averages these scores out.

The above chart then dispays the percentage of reviewed games with scores over 80% and under 50% for each console.

Reality Check Consoles (PS3/X360/PS2/Wii):

Of all current consoles the PS3 has the HIGHEST percentage of games rated over 80%.

Of all current consoles the X360 has the LOWEST percentage of games rated under 50%

The Wii has the LOWEST percentage of games over 80% and the MOST under 50% of any console.

Reality Check Handhelds (PSP/DS):

The PSP has the HIGHEST percentage of games over 80% and the LOWEST percentage under 50%

Conclusions:

Consumers are willing to forgo quality games to get a better price. Both the DS and Wii are providing the lowest cost of entry to video gaming but offering the least in terms of game quality vs other consoles

GameSpy sneaks into Insomniac for an exclusive hands-on with Fall of Man's upcoming multiplayer map and get the details on the new patch! Since the PS3's inception in the US and Japan six months ago, Resistance: Fall of Man has been something of a rallying point for early console adopters. Considering that it managed to maintain a higher attachment rate to consoles than Madden 07, that's no small feat. Since then, the game has taken on something of a cult status.

Insomniac to develop PSN title

In an interview with Sony's semi-official blog Three Speech, Insomniac Games answered many questions about their past, present, and future projects. Besides a lot of technical information on game engines, something quite definitive caught our eye.

When Three Speech asked if Insomniac had any plans to develop a PSN title, the answer came straight from Ted Price, the founder and current CEO of Insomniac:

"Yes."

So there it is, a confirmed PSN title from Insomniac. Will it be an offshoot of one of their already established series (the return of Spyro)? Or will it be a completely original escapade?

Rumor Return: Resident Evil 5 A PS3 Exclusive? (http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1283.html)


Rumors regarding potential PS3 exclusives are flying this week, as we learned that Konami is currently planning to release Silent Hill 5 only on Sony's platform, provided console sales increase. Now, another game is on the radar for PS3 exclusivity: Resident Evil 5.

Actually, this isn't a new rumor, but once again, a variety of Japanese media outlets have reported the 360 version of the game - initially planned by Capcom - has been dropped. There is no concrete evidence or quotes to be found, but in the past, Capcom has denied any such thing. They're still releasing the anticipated survival/horror title for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, but for whatever reason, numerous Japanese sources want to say otherwise.

From our viewpoint, it actually makes a lot more sense to see Silent Hill 5 exclusive to the PS3; after all, the last two installments were exclusive to the PS2. Furthermore, Capcom has already enjoyed great success with 360 exclusives (Dead Rising and Lost Planet), so it seems rather unlikely they'd ignore Microsoft's platform when they release their biggest game of the new generation. But that's just our opinion; we'll keep you apprised of any new developments on the RE 5 front.

Killzone 2 Dev Hypes PS3 Killer App

The level of anticipation on Killzone 2 in development by Guerrilla Games for the PS3 is as high as ever.

The PS3 is in dire need of a killer app, that is a fact that absolutely nobody can deny. Test Lead and QA Manager Sebastian Downie stated that he realizes the pressure which Guerrilla Games is currently under. E3 is quickly approaching and Killzone 2 is supposed to be the killer app to go head to head with Halo 3 and save the PS3.

He did state in the interview though that he is confident that critics will be shut up when they actually get their eyes on Killzone 2.

"I am sure there are a hundred developers around the globe feeling the same way right now though. Everyone wants their game to play look and sound perfectly when the public first get to see it. If you are working on an AAA Next Gen beast of a game or something for mobile phones you want to make a good impression on people. And if you have the baggage that we have we have to give it that extra little bit. Hopefully it will all go brilliantly and we’ll shut up even some of the most ardent critics."


In the interview there were no firm details on the game but he did state that it would have an online mode and that there will be a Pubilc Beta coming at some point this year.

He stated that most of the information is being held until E3 when a lot more will be revealed. Could we be looking at a beta test for Killzone 2 before the holiday season? It sure is looking like it and if what he says is true, critics may have to shut their traps and get ready to be blown away by Killzone 2!

Cartoon Network New Media Unveils Innovative Browser Application Extending Games Distribution to Gaming Consoles

“MEGA Series” Developed with the AFI Digital Content Lab

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cartoon Network New Media is expanding its games distribution to videogame consoles through an innovative browser application developed at AFI’s Digital Content Lab. Launching in late 2007 to early 2008, the new multi-platform window called “MEGA Series” delivers an interactive video and gaming experience to broadband-enabled consoles. Additionally, the application can be adapted for distribution to a broad array of devices. Cartoon Network is the first television network to use Flash to uniquely reach the massive console audience.

Compatible with PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) and Wii, MEGA Series may be delivered via the broadband connection of each console and is accessible through the device’s Internet browser, which both use custom Flash players from Adobe. MEGA Series programming will be based on Cartoon Network and Adult Swim shows. MEGA Series content is designed to be played simultaneously with streaming video and delivered episodically over time, providing a real-time immersive experience for fans.

“Developing applications like MEGA Series is an important complement to our existing online and mobile businesses and a part of Cartoon Network’s digital growth strategy,” said Paul Condolora, senior vice president and general manager of Cartoon Network New Media. “Not only does MEGA Series extend our reach, but more importantly provides an opportunity to offer a unique content and user experience for our audience.”

“AFI’s Digital Lab provided a fantastic collaborative environment to explore cutting-edge technologies that further our businesses and reach new audiences,” said Ross Cox, senior director of entertainment products, Cartoon Network New Media. “We’d like to think our efforts effectively demonstrate how the console browser can be utilized as a new distribution platform.”

“The MEGA Series breakthrough is exactly the type of innovation that the AFI Digital Content Lab has fostered for the last nine years,” said Lisa Osborne, supervising producer of the AFI Digital Content Lab. “When we recruited Sony, Georgia Tech, Dreamsocket, Beyond Z, The Barbarian Group and others to be on the same R&D team, we were hoping they'd develop a cutting-edge entertainment concept, and they certainly surpassed our expectations. Creating a product that runs on both a PS3 and a PC truly fulfilled the 'build once, broadcast everywhere' goal that the team set out to accomplish. It's gratifying to see Cartoon Network use their Lab project as a springboard to launch a new product.”

“The AFI Digital Content Lab encourages the type of creative thinking and collaboration that is imperative to help propel Flash development in the future,” said Bill Perry, manager of developer relations for mobile and devices at Adobe. “The development of the MEGA Series application is a great example of pushing technology to create even more robust entertainment experiences that reach consumers across a wide range of supported devices, including the Sony PS3 and Nintendo’s Wii console.”

The MEGA Series is a custom application accessible through a console browser and a PC browser. Once the application is built, the interface will be customized for the Flash capabilities of each distribution platform—including PC, PS3 or mobile phone—creating a unique, video-on-demand and gaming experience.

HIALEAH, Fla. -- A teenager with a brown belt in karate used a samurai sword to scare off a burglar who was after his PlayStation 3 video game console.

Last Friday afternoon, Damian Fernandez and his 15-year-old sister, Deanne Fernandez, were home alone at their northwest Miami-Dade County home while their parents were at work when they heard knocking on the front door. Moments later, two men were prying the front door unlocked, prompting Deanne to hide in her closet.

"I was so scared," she said.

As her brother slept in the next room, the burglars ransacked their parents' room, taking some jewelry before moving on to what they were really after -- a PlayStation 3.

According to a police report, one of the burglars kicked in Deanne's bedroom door. She said she could see his foot through the closet panels.

The burglar found the empty PlayStation 3 box and ran out of the room, but Damian was waiting for him.

"Once I saw him take off running back, I jumped off my (bunk) bed and I grabbed my sword … and I just waited for him," he said.

Damian said he lunged at him with his samurai sword, striking him in the chest.

"He freaked out," Damian said.

The burglar ran out of the house with Damian chasing him down the road. When police arrived, a K-9 officer located the burglar hiding behind a neighbor's palm tree. The second burglar got away.

Javier Cotera, 21, was arrested and released early the next morning on bond.

Local 10 attempted to contact Cotera at his Hialeah home, but his family said he wasn't there and that they didn't know anything about it.

Damian and Deanne's father, Delio Fernandez, said he is concerned Cotera is out of jail.

10 things to love about the PlayStation 3 (http://www.tech.co.uk/rungsberry/general/blogs/2007/06/13/10-things-to-love-about-the-playstation-3)


I've been rather outspoken about the PS3 in the past. I have criticised its high price, I've called it ugly and to be honest I've given Sony's new baby a bit of a rough time. Have you ever called someone else's baby 'ugly' behind their back only to find out that actually it's quite cute after all?

That's the sort of the guilt I'm feeling right now, because after having a play with one for a week I've actually changed my mind about the PS3. It's actually..ahemm... rather good. Sure there are not a massive number of excellent games out for it yet, but as a piece of kit there are some things which I think are really really cool and worth considering

Team Ninja to do more PS3 titles (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=77737)

Ninja Gaiden Sigma director Yosuke Hayashi has spiritedly defended the PlayStation 3 in an exclusive interview with Eurogamer - and all but confirmed that Team Ninja will be working on further titles for the platform.

Speaking in London yesterday, Hayashi slammed developers who complain that the PS3 is difficult to create games for - saying that "if they think it's difficult, they should get out of the ring."


Responding to a question about whether the team had found it difficult to transition from working on the Xbox to the PS3, Hayashi said, "there are some developers who have complained about the difficulty of developing for PS3. But, I am a creator, a developer - and by making a product, we receive money from the players. We shouldn't complain about the difficulty."

In other words, it's their job, and they're just getting on with it.

Hayashi responded in similar terms when asked if the team, which has recently focused most of its efforts on Microsoft's platforms, plans to extend its support for the PS3 in future.

"As I said, people who complain about the difficulty of creating games for PS3 should get out, right?" Hayashi commented. "While I'm saying that kind of thing, if I get out myself, then what I say doesn't mean anything! So, I should stay - right?"

Given some of his earlier comments about plans for the SIXAXIS controller in future games, it seems almost certain that Team Ninja has plenty more in store for Darth Vader's George Foreman Grill down the line. We'll have the full interview with the outspoken Yosuke Hayashi, as well as our impressions of Ninja Gaiden's PS3 outing, available for your reading pleasure in the coming days.

Soulcalibur IV Will Remain at 60FPS
1080P support is under consideration.
(http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160282)
The latest issue of Famitu brings us a few new details about Soulcalibur IV before EGM drops the real bomb next month. For the hardcore: the game will run at 60FPS and they're currently considering supporting 1080P resolutions -- but it isn't confirmed.

Additionally, the story of Soul Calibur IV will be a continuation of Soul Calibur III, with a twist. Once, a man became a hero using the sword Soul Edge, but his son stole it from him for evil and ends up dying during battle. The hero (father) out of grief, decides to make Soul Calibur. This aspect will apparently will become a key to Soulcalibur 4's story.

Demo for The Darkness postponed, perhaps after release

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2007/06/the-darkness-ps3-1.jpg

If you're a subscriber to The Darkness' bulletin via MySpace or whatever, you may have been alerted to some news that's quite the disappointment. Initially, there was planned a demo prior to release, however, that seems to have changed. The developers issued this statement, in character: "The wicked embodiment of Light and Order, the Angelus, must be corrupting the Darkness somehow because the demo is not ready."

Yes, that's exactly why the demo isn't ready. In any case, they promised that "there will be a demo. I cannot guarantee that it will come before the game releases." We keep complaining about the lack of demos and this doesn't help. We know we'll get one, but getting it after the game is released almost defeats the purpose. Regardless, we'll be happy when it arrives because we simply can't fall on either side of the fence for this game.

"Thanks to the launch of platforms like PlayStation 3 the time is finally right for this transition," he explained. "Computers no longer have the edge on set-top systems. The technology is there; the audience is ready for deeper and more gripping experiences; and the bar's formally been raised in terms of enthusiasts' expectations. I hate to use the word convergence, but I don't know how else to describe the situation... The timing couldn't be more perfect."


"Sony's done an amazing job of establishing a quality standard and delivering on systems' promise. Look at the caliber of titles we're suddenly seeing from machines like the PlayStation 2 – the company takes a long-term view and really focuses on delivering amazing hardware right out of the box," he remarked

"Look at the level of content you're seeing on current-gen systems right now in the form of games like God of War II," Meier said. "Remember: The PlayStation 3 is light years ahead of this technology. As with any new platform, it's going to be a challenge and take designers some time to come to grips with the hardware. But believe me, you'll be amazed by the possibilities."

So do you think that WipEout - maybe in HD! - would prove popular as a download on PS Network?

Sony Bundles Hot Shots with PS3
New bundle represents 4,000 yen price cut. (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/797/797919p1.html)

The PS3's biggest game yet over in Japan is just about a month away from release, and, sure enough, Sony isn't being quiet about it. Following a heavily promoted downloadable demo of Minna no Golf 5 (known as Hot Shots Golf 5 oustide of Japan), Sony has announced a special PS3 package to coincide with the game's release.

Officially known as the PlayStation 3 Beginners' Pack, this bundle combines a PS3 system with a copy of Minna no Golf 5, all in a slick new box. It will be available on 7/26 at a cost of 61,980 yen for a 60 Gig version and 51,980 yen for a 20 Gig version.

There are a couple of points of note in this announcement. First, different from other territories, Sony seems to be continuing with sales of the two PS3 models in Japan. Currently, both 20 Gig and 60 Gig versions of the hardware are available for purchase at.

More importantly, the price of the bundle represents a savings of nearly 4,000 yen off the price of purchasing the game had hardware separately. It's not quite a price drop, but perhaps it will draw in a few holdouts.

Sales of the Xbox 360 in Europe have hit a wall according to a new report from Screen Digest, which suggests Microsoft is struggling to expand the user base for the next-gen console.

The report also observes that the Nintendo Wii is dividing the market, with some publishers happy to ride Nintendo's coat tails to pick up business with poor quality titles, while others are betting the farm on the innovative machine.

"For Xbox 360, European hardware sales seem to have hit a wall. The target market is still too focused on adult males and the brand does not enjoy the same cachet in non-Angle Saxon markets as it does in the US and, to a lesser extent, the UK," reads the report.

While there are no concerns about appealing to a dedicated gaming audience, "failing to break out of a small number of genres and thereby appealing to groups outside of hardcore gamer," is a bigger problem according to Screen Digest.

Despite these issues the report does highlight that some of the most anticipated titles for the coming Q4 are for the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live is described as a "beacon of hope".

According to the analysts group, the Nintendo Wii is splitting business models across the industry.

"Some publishers are investing much less saying they will leave the platform drivers to Nintendo and ride their coat tails by spending very little on mediocre quality titles which will give some return."

On the other hand, "the combination of lower development costs and fastest growing installed base confers significant economic advantages in publishing games for Wii relative to competitive consoles, and this has lead to some third-party publishers increasing investment levels in developing for the platform."

The report points out that a low return on Wii software may hamper investment by publishers in other formats, as it simply does not generate as much profit at a time when PS3 and Xbox 360 development costs are rising.

And on the PlayStation 3, the report criticises Sony for not educating consumers as to what's in the box and relying too much on the PlayStation brand. Because of this a price drop is inevitable, says Screen Digest.

"A price drop before the end of the year is inevitable and would be in line with previous PlayStation first time price reduction timings."

"Marketing material has tended towards the esoteric and abstract and has seemingly failed to resonate with the consumer."

It also points out that Sony could drop a "bombshell" by the end of the year with a combined price drop and the launch of the Home virtual networking and online game service

David Jaffe is no longer a part of the internal workings at Sony Computer Entertainment America. 1UP confirmed with multiple sources that Jaffe is currently working with Incognito Entertainment head Scott Campbell on the formation of a new studio to be based out of Utah.

When asked, SCEA would not comment on the so far unannounced change. "We have made no announcements regarding any change in David Jaffe's relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment," said a company spokesperson. Jaffe himself also has not yet responded to repeated requests for comment, since he started teasing the new studio on his personal blog.

What happens to Incognito? The company is flying high on the positive buzz surrounding online-centric Warhawk and is unlikely to be affected by the shift. Jaffe has traveled back and forth between Incognito and his San Diego headquarters over the development of a number of Incognito-based games, including the recent PlayStation Network release Calling All Cars. Jaffe is expected to continue the relationship.

We hope to hear more on this new studio shortly, so stay tuned.

Sony reveals plans to win Xmas battle

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has hit back at criticism that its PlayStation 3 (PS3) console is suffering from sliding sales and revealed it is harbouring treats for gamers up its corporate sleeve to conqure the all-important Christmas market.

Nintendo’s Wii console is currently riding the crest of a wave in terms of market share, leaving both Sony and Microsoft in its wake. But Jonathan Fargher, SCEE representative, said it was wrong to pit the Wii and PS3 against each other.

“The one thing we have always done with the PlayStation is stick to our business strategy,” he said. “We keep an eye on the competition, but it is unfair to put the Nintendo Wii and PS3 in the same category. The Wii is a sub-£200 console and does one thing pretty well. Compare that with a £400 piece of hardware that plays next-generation games, allows users to access photo files and has built-in Blu-Ray technology.

“Many people have said PS3 is not doing well, but in nine weeks we have sold more than one million machines in Europe, which is faster than the sell-through rate of the PS2. The PS1 and PS2 sold 115 million machines worldwide, so we are confident of the PS3’s performance in time,” he added.

“However, the problem has been a boom and bust scenario with the software, particularly in the summer months when many firms tend not to release big-name games.”

Fargher said Sony is looking to counterbalance the lack of games from third-party developers by making other titles available on its online PlayStation Store.

“It will be towards the end of the year when the big titles start to show what the PS3 can really do and hopefully make people feel more comfortable about the decision they made to invest in our hardware.”

Titles due to hit the shelves in the Christmas run-up include the latest installment of favourites such as Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, he added.

“If you look at the hardware, you do get a lot for your money: as well as playing Blu-Ray, the PS3 also upscales DVDs to High Definition (HD) format, and if a gamer is lucky enough to own a PlayStation Portable (PSP, pictured, below-left) they can access their PS3 remotely using the PSP and a Wi-Fi connection,” said Fargher.

At the PS3 launch backward-compatibility issues had blighted the console, but Fargher told CRN the problems had been ironed out.

“The backwards-compatibility issues have pretty much gone away,” he said. “There are now up to 2,500 playable titles including all the major ones that gamers want to play.”

Fargher said Sony has also released the PS3 Firmware update – v1.8 – which upscales both PS1 and PS2 games to HD and can be downloaded onto the PS3.

“People don’t want to throw their games library away and want to make sure that the investment they have made, in terms of software, is catered for. Firmware v1.8 allows this,” he said.

Add this to the console’s ability to support games outside the PAL format, which means gamers can buy titles from the US and Japan, and the PS3 gives value for money, he said.

On the hand-held side, Sony is certainly not neglecting its PSP console. Fargher hinted there could be a redesign of the console on the cards, and admitted there had been a lack of AAA titles available for the format.

“There are many high-profile titles in the pipeline and the PSP will continue to grow. We are working with a number of content partners for the PSP, so watch this space,” he said.

Hamish Thompson, a representative for the Dixons Stores Group, said the gaming market was very buoyant.

“We are confident about Sony. Launching the PS3 at the time of year that it did got it off to an impressive start and we are certain that the interest and demand will build as we get closer to the peak season of November, December and January.

“It is an interesting market as there is a lot of competition. All the [different vendor] products are appealing to a broader demographic and they all have another dimension to them, such as Blu-Ray and online connectivity. It certainly creates an exciting buzz, which is great news for retailers.”

Sony Teams PS3 with MGS4 to Win Christmas

Fargher is a spokesperson for SCEE and has stated that the future of the PS3 is looking fairly nicely thanks to the upcoming games. He stated that to put the PS3 up against the Wii is not a fair move as they are entirely different systems. He also stated that the PS3 is already selling faster than the PlayStation 2 did.

G.I. Interview w/Phil Harrison - July Magazine

Coming from a background in garage development, Phil Harrison has risen through the ranks to become one of the key players in Sony’s Playstation empire. As head of the company’s worldwide studios, Harrison is responsible for shaping Sony’s in-house software on all its platforms.<<

PSP has entered the market and established an installed base, but software sales are not strong. What do developers need to do to create PSP content that’s more compelling?
Well, whether you’re talking about PS2, PS3, PSP, or any platform, it’s to play to the strengths that the technology has and the differences that technology represents to the consumer. I think we’ve done that successfully in some titles and those have proven to be very successful. We can always do more to exploit the portable nature of PSP; we can do more to exploit the mobile, Wi-Fi, web connectivity of the machine. You can look at titles that have that very well - Monster Hunter Portable in Japan is a great example. This is a title that has really taken advantage of what PSP is about., and it sold over one million units. I wouldn’t agree that the software sales have been unsatisfactory, but I do agree that we can always do more to take advantage of the machine’s capabilities.

You’re beta testing the Home online service right now. Will it have all the features that have been talked about and shown so far when it launches?
And some more. We’re obviously in beta trial right now, and so it’s very difficult for me to make very definitive statements. Part of the purpose of a beta trial is to work with an extended audience of real users in the community to find out what works and what doesn’t, what they like and don’t like. Some things that we thought were really important have resonated less strongly with users and the inverse - things we hadn’t considered important the users love…We’re starting to see some really valuable feedback from the user base. We’re very pleased with the progress so far and the way the technology and infrastructure is scaling out. I think by the time we get to September, we’ll be able to make some definitive statements as to exactly the content that’s going to be in the deployed service day one.

Could you give an example of something you thought would be important but has been ignored by the users? Or vice versa, something you thought was a minor detail but they are really excited about?
It’s too early to really share those details. I don’t mean to evade your question, but I don’t think we’ve gotten all the answers we’re looking for yet. But I think clearly the functions of communication between users are what people love. That’s not necessarily a surprise, but we’ll look to increasing the sophistication of the methods of communication.

Do you expect Home to be launched sometime this year?
We have said that, if the beta trial is successful, that the service will go live in October. I’m only two weeks into that beta period right now, but nothing changed our outlook.

One area in which Sony has succeeded in the past is platform exclusives. But recently, many traditional Playstation exclusives have gone to Xbox 360 as well - Virtua Fighter, Grand Theft Auto, and Devil May Cry, for example. Is there anything you can do to combat this trend, or is the era of exclusives coming to an end?
Well, from a third-party exclusive point of view, that doesn’t fall under my remit, because I’m looking after Worldwide Studios and our first-party output. But, obviously, I’m looking at the platform as an entire portfolio. And yes, I’m always concerned to make sure that consumers can buy the best games and get the best game experiences to validate their system purchase. [But] as long as the games they get are great, [consumers] don’t care if they are third-party or first-party…What I do believe is that the investments we have made in Worldwide Studios globablly - U.S., Europe, and Japan - will yield the best quality software and the highest quality experiences that are clearly going to be exclusive to the platform…We have a larger platform-dedicated development resource than our competitors combined. So all of that goes towards the fact that the best games with the best technology are coming exclusively to [Sony] platforms.

You’d announced that Sony was going to share technology and resources between all their worldwide studios for PS3 development. To what scale is that occuring right now?
Every game on PS3 has some degree of shared technology internally. There are no games that are islands in our portfolio. We have a common online functionality, we have a common sound engine, we have a common graphics engine, we have a common low-level rendering, which are used variously by different titles. What we did at GDC was announce that we were taking large portions of that technology base we were easy to support and sharing that with our third parties, in a program we call Playstation Edge, which is taking the highest performing low-level libraries that we have on the platform and making them available for developers.

Playstation 3 has been positioned as a very powerful, high-end machine. One problem you have right now is that we haven’t seen any games thus far that look like they couldn’t be done on Xbox 360. When do you think we’ll see games hit the market that showcase the PS3 over and above what the 360 can do?
Well, I would take exception to your analysis. I think we do have titles that illustrate the point of difference that PS3 brings, both in terms of gameplay and underlying game technology. There are things we’re demonstrating onscreen in games like Motorstorm, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Formula 1 that cannot be done on any other system. All three of those are launch window titles. Now, it’s always dangerous to judge any stem by its launch lineup…You only have to go back to the games that launched Playstation 1 and Playstation 2. If you took those few dozen titles and analyzed them, you would never have imagined that either of those formats would have on to sell over 100 million units each.

From an American gamer’s perspective, more and more of your Triple-A titles are coming from the U.S. and Europe, where in the past, more of them came from Japan. Does that represent a shift of power within Sony?
I think that it was a conscious strategy to build strong development organizations in every geographical area of operations. Because - as we’ve seen with the music business and the fil business - locally produced repertoire accounts for a large percentage of local sales. If you look at the music business in France, about 75 percent of the records sold in France are from French artists. And, although the games industry is probably more global than any other form of entertainment, in order to grow the industry, we have to create local entertainment experiences. That doesn’t mean we’ve de-emphaszied Japan. We have this reasonably successful billion-dollar IP called Gran Turismo that you might be familiar with. That’s obviously a major force in the market wheneverthat title is shipping. Any iteration of the Gran Turismo franchise has become a global event. Our Everybody’s Golf series, known as Hot Shots in the States, has been very successful. And a title that is coming out in 2008, called Shirokishi [a.k.a. White Knight Story], which is an amazing RPG [with] very rich and deep online features., I think will be a global hit as well.

David Jaffe is 100% Sony, despite new office

Posted Jun 25th 2007 12:45PM by Nick Doerr
While rumors abounded about David Jaffe leaving his position at Sony to open a new studio with some buddies at Incognito Entertainment, we held back until we got more information. Good thing we did, because the rest of the internet buzzed with headlines along the lines of "Jaffe leaves SCEA, world doomed!" We remained optimistic and Jaffe answered our uncertainty on the NeoGAF forums.

Jaffe replied to the rumors of a Utah office and leaving Sony by saying "I can promise you guys I am still part of SCEA...I just got a paycheck from them! I am still 100% a Sony employee and unless I got fired today and they didn't tell me, I'm still working for them ... I sure as s**t ain't moving to Utah...nice as it is, I don't think I could live there long term and I don't think the good people of Utah would want me to." However, Jaffe is working with Incognito and has a Utah-based office in the works. So, he's still a Sony guy and isn't moving to Utah, but will have a new office to crank out those super-fun PSN titles. As the new studio progresses, we'll keep you up to date with our favorite developer.

2K Announces Civilization&#174; Revolution™ - Sid Meier's First Game for Next Generation Consoles
Legendary designer Sid Meier builds the Civilization� experience from the ground up for consoles

New York, NY - June 28, 2007 - 2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today that it will publish Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, the first next generation game designed by world famous game designer Sid Meier. Slated for a spring 2008 release for next generation consoles and handhelds, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is being developed by Firaxis Games™, 2K's world-renowned development studio.

Sid Meier put computer gaming on the map when he delivered Civilization&#174; to the gaming world, launching the "God Game" genre and creating one of the most award-winning and addictive strategy series of all time, including Sid Meier's Civilization IV™, the Gamespy and GameSpot 2005 Game of the Year. Driven by sheer passion for the game concept, Meier is now handcrafting a brand-new Civilization experience designed and built from scratch for next gen consoles and handhelds.

"Civilization Revolution is the game I've always wanted to make!" said Sid Meier, Director of Creative Development at Firaxis Games. "We are excited to take advantage of the power of next generation consoles and the ingenuity of handhelds, to create a great and unique strategy game for newcomers to the series, as well as the millions of fans around the world who enjoy Civilization on the PC."

In Civilization, players strive to become ruler of the world by establishing and leading a civilization from the dawn of man into the space age - waging war, conducting diplomacy, discovering technologies, going head-to-head with some of history's greatest leaders, and building the most powerful empire the world has ever known.

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is a watershed game, offering players a chance to experience the epic empire-building world of Civilization in an all new accessible, visually immersive, and action-packed world specifically designed for the console and handheld gamer. Delivering Civilization's renowned epic single-player campaigns featuring vast re-playability and unmatched addictive gameplay as well as revolutionary features like real-time interaction with leaders and advisors, extensive multiplayer capabilities and integrated video and voice chat, it will completely transport the Civilization series to a level of gameplay that fans have never seen before.

"Civilization is one of the world's top selling PC game series with more than 8 million units sold, and continues to be recognized as one of the greatest franchises ever created," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "We are excited to have Sid Meier getting back to his roots as the game's Lead Designer to carry on its legacy with Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution."

Some of the key features that will resonate with fans of strategy games and the Civilization franchise include 16 civilizations to master and lead to victory, an array of famous historical leaders to play as or compete against, and accessible maps and streamlined time scale for quicker games, intense combat, and constant action. In online multiplayer mode, players will compete for world conquest and glory among their peers as they battle in teams, head-to-head or epic free-for-all matches. In addition, auto-matching, ranked games, leaderboards, achievements, downloadable extra content and integrated video and voice chat make the online play more versatile and fun than any previous version of Civilization and will allow players to see where they stand against the competition. Finally, the position of ruler of the world can be settled online.

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution will be released in spring 2008 for next generation consoles and handhelds. For more information please visit http://www.civilization.com/.

He talked in great length about the larger PlayStation 3 and compared it to the competitors the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. He stated though that all of the best games with the best technology are going to be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 simply because they are not possible on the competition’s consoles.

Phil Harrison: «Tα παιχνίδια με την καλύτερη τεχνολογία θα κυκλοφορήσουν στις πλατφόρμες της Sony» (http://www.gamelife.gr/cPages/news.asp?id=1306)


Σε συνέντευξή του στο αμερικανικό περιοδικό Game Informer, ο Phil Harrison δήλωσε πως δεν είναι ασφαλές να κρίνει κανείς την επιτυχία μιας κονσόλας βασιζόμενος στο launch line-up της. Στηριζόμενος στο παράδειγμα των δύο προηγούμενων Playstation, ο Harrison υποστήριξε πως «με βάση τους λιγοστούς τίτλους που συνόδευσαν τα συστήματα αυτά στην κυκλοφορία τους, κανείς δεν θα περίμενε ότι το PS1 και το PS2 θα ξεπερνούσαν τα 100 εκατομύρια τεμάχια σε πωλήσεις».

Όσον αφορά τις δυνατότητες της κονσόλας της Sony, o Harrison διαφώνησε με την άποψη πως δεν έχουν εμφανιστεί ακόμα τίτλοι που επιδεικνύουν τις δυνατότητες του Playstation 3, καθώς τα Motorstorm, Resistance και Formula 1 συγκαταλέγονται ακόμα και μήνες μετά την κυκλοφορία τους, στα ομορφότερα παιχνίδια αυτής της γενιάς.

Σχετικά με το θέμα των λιγοστών αποκλειστικών τίτλων από τρίτες εταιρείες που έχουν απομείνει στο Playstation 3, ο Harrison δήλωσε πως, παρόλο που αυτός ο τομέας δεν υπάγεται στη δικαιοδοσία του, είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό οι καλύτεροι τίτλοι της παγκόσμιας παραγωγής να γίνονται διαθέσιμοι για ένα σύστημα που θέλει να πετύχει. «Αν οι καταναλωτές είναι σίγουροι πως οι καλύτεροι τίτλοι θα είναι διαθέσιμοι για το σύστημα που επέλεξαν, τότε νιώθουν πολύ καλύτερα για την επιλογή τους», δήλωσε. Συνεχίζοντας, ο Harrison έθεσε ένα ενδιαφέρον ζήτημα: «Αν τα παιχνίδια που κυκλοφορούν για μια κονσόλα είναι υψηλής ποιότητας, κανείς δεν νοιάζεται αν προέρχονται από third-party ή από first-party ομάδες ανάπτυξης. Θεωρώ πως οι επενδύσεις που έγιναν από τη Sony στην εσωτερική ανάπτυξη τίτλων σε όλο τον κόσμο (Αμερική, Ευρώπη και Ιαπωνία) θα έχουν τελικά τα πιο ποιοτικά αποτελέσματα – τα οποία φυσικά θα είναι αποκλειστικά για το σύστημα. Η υποδομή μας όσον αφορά τη δημιουργία first party τίτλων είναι μεγαλύτερη από την αντίστοιχη υποδομή και των δύο ανταγωνιστών μας. Σε τελική ανάλυση, αυτό που μετράει είναι πως τα παιχνίδια με την καλύτερη τεχνολογία θα κυκλοφορήσουν αποκλειστικά για τις πλατφόρμες της Sony».

Ο Harrison έκλεισε τις δηλώσεις του με μια αναφορά στην υπηρεσία Home, επιβεβαιώνοντας την έναρξη της λειτουργίας της τον Οκτώβριο, ενώ εξέφρασε και την απογοήτευσή του σχετικά με τον τρόπο που η Sony (δεν) εκμεταλλεύεται τις δυνατότητες του συστήματος.

E3: Sony's Dille: Xbox 360 Not Sustainable, HD-DVD Dead Within Months

http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/news2001/14679/peterdille.jpg

Talking to Gamasutra during a one-on-one interview, Peter Dille, the new senior vice president of marketing for PlayStation, maintained that the 360 cannot sustain itself over a 10 year cycle – and also stated that he believes HD-DVD will be dead within months. Here’s an excerpt of the conversation, which will eventually be published in full:

I feel like now we’re at a 10 year cycle for console profitability for everyone except Nintendo at this point...

Peter Dille: Except Microsoft too!

I’m not saying they’re profitable.

PD: They’re also not 10 year! The first Xbox was around for 4 or 5 years, and then they stopped making software for it.

I’m just saying it’s a longer tail before Sony and Microsoft will make money.

PD: I don’t want to be argumentative, but I take issue with Microsoft either having a long tail, or being profitable, because they’ve never done either. They’ve never made a dime in this business, number one, and number two, they’ve never had a tail. They’ve never been successful enough to have a tail! So the notion of a back half of the curve doesn’t exist for them. They stopped the Xbox and I kind of feel for the guy that bought an Xbox the month before they said ‘we’re out of business, we’re moving on.’

The reason I get a little emotional about that is it’s in stark contrast to our approach. If we’ve got something that says PlayStation, we’re going to stand behind it for 10 years, and deliver games like God of War II in the 7th year of the cycle.

With the Xbox 360 you’ve got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive, some don’t, and none of them have Blu-Ray, and the HD-DVD will be out of business in a matter of months. Is this a 10 year product? And by the way, it doesn’t even work. Do they want to be selling it for 10 years and refurbishing them all for 10 more years? I don’t think that’s a 10 year product. You could disagree with me, or they could disagree with me, but I’d put that up against the PS3 any day.

Sony To Get its Own "Gears of War" like I.P. from Epic

Half way through this podcast hosted by Zdmedia.net they touch base on the Sony & Epic deal. It is stated that Epic and Sony might be working on a PS3 (http://n4g.com/gaming/News-52066.aspx#) that deals with the Gears of War universe not necessarily Gears of War 2. The deal that Sony and Epic signed was a multi-part deal, so there could be other things besides the UT3 exclusivity deal.

Rumors - $399 40gig PS3 Coming Soon, FFXIII Could be Delayed Until Late 08, PS3 Achievements


The latest edition of Game Informer magazine finally hit the stands. It contains quiet a lot of juicy new information. They have an exclusive first look at an upcoming game called "Prototype" which is due out on the PS3/360 next year. Details will be published soon.

According Game Informer magazine, a $399 40gig PS3 system is on the way, but it will have no backwards compatibility. They actually expected to hear the announcement at E3 on it. So they may have just heard different rumblings altogether.

FF XIII: Word is the game is a mess right now and the localization process is expected to take a year. The game will not come out in Japan until the end of 08. And finally PS3 Achievements will be available in games coming out this Holiday season will have them. Similar to the 360 where an achievement notice pops up. Not sure if 3rd parties will be required to do the same.

Gears of War στο PS3? (φήμη)

Rumours have been flying fast and furious since 1UP's speculation on a number of podcasts that Epic Games had plans to extend the Gears of War franchise onto the PlayStation 3. Understandably, the comments made in the podcast created somewhat of a storm in a teacup, with many Xbox 360 fans rather unhappy with Epic's apparently lackadaisical approach to exclusivity.

However, Epic's Mark Rein recently contacted PSX Extreme (http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1541.html) to clarify the situation. In short? Bollocks.

Being blunt, Rein said that the rumour was "complete nonsense". Leaving no room for doubt, he added, "We've shot down this Gears of War on PS3 idea about a hundred times already - Microsoft is the publisher of Gears of War. Unless Microsoft wants to publish it on PS3 then it won't be published on PS3."

Interestingly however, Rein also said that Epic only has two IPs under development - Gears of War for the PC and Unreal Tournament 3. Where this sits in relation to his very recent comments (http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=8270&title=Gears+of+War%2C+UT3+Mac-bound) about Gears of War for the Mac remains a little unclear. It's quite possible that the project to port Gears may be further down the line, suggesting that Mac users shouldn't hold their breath. At least not unless they like blacking out.

Rumor: Crysis για το PS3? Η απάντηση μπορεί να είναι ΝΑΙ! (http://www.ripten.com/2007/07/18/crysis-in-the-works-for-ps3-crytek-job-opening-hints-at-answer/)

If you were a PC game which console would you make your way to — The Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3? Let us think about the recent course of events for a moment and examine the facts.
Could Crytek be following in the footsteps of Epic? There has been a job post (http://www.crytek.com/jobs/item.php?id=42&s=jobs&pID=4) on Crytek’s official site looking for a PS3 developer for a few months now, however when asked about it Crytek declined to comment.
The job opening itself may be all the fuel Playstation 3 fans need, however we would like to add some more. Take into consideration the course of events that took place recently between Sony and Epic.

Sony has just made themselves very attractive to PC game developers by allowing mods and map building on their console, exactly the type of things that Microsoft would not.
If Sony is willing to extend the offer they made Epic to other developers (and we can’t see why they wouldn’t) then the “woosh” noise you hear in the distance may very well be the sound of developers lining up to sign on Sony’s dotted line.
To those who say the PS3 is not capable of handling the requirements for the Crysis game, you may want to rethink your stance on the subject. We recently spoke (http://www.ripten.com/2007/07/15/e3-07-crysis-hands-on-with-video/) to two Crytek representatives at this years E3, of which one mentioned that the game is still being worked on and their hopes are to not only continue to improve the overall experience, but to also find ways to lower the minimum spec requirements necessary to play the game.
In closing, while the game is meant for DirectX 10 and will run on DirectX 9, it seems that Crytek is still looking to refine the games requirements. This could prove to be a positive thing for PS3 owners.

Νέος τίτλος από το δημιουργό του Katamari για το PS3 (http://www.gamelife.gr/cPages/news.asp?id=1347)

Λέγεται Nobi Nobi Boy και είναι εξίσου χαζοχαρούμενο και εξίσου παρανοϊκό.
http://www.gamelife.gr/admin/news/images_small/nobigeneric1.jpg


Κατά την ανακοίνωση του Beautiful Katamari για το Xbox Live Arcade πριν από αρκετούς μήνες, έκπληξη είχε προκαλέσει το γεγονός ότι επικεφαλής του project δεν θα ήταν ο δημιουργός της σειράς, ο Keita Takahashi. Σύμφωνα με δημοσίευμα του IGN, ο λόγος ήταν η ανάπτυξη ενός νέου τίτλου για το Playstation 3, ο οποίος αποκαλύφθηκε στα πλαίσια του Playstation Premiere.


O τίτλος λέγεται Nobi Nobi Boy και πρωταγωνιστής είναι ένας σκουληκόμορφος (αλλά ευτυχισμένος παρόλα αυτά) χαρακτήρας, ο οποίος έχει τη δυνατότητα να επιμηκύνει το σώμα του. Προς το παρόν δεν υπάρχουν άλλες πληροφορίες για το παιχνίδι πέρα από κάποια artworks που κάνουν αυτή τη στιγμή το γύρο του Διαδικτύου.

Sony draws up Leipzig battle lines

SCEE boss David Reeves says E3 was a phoney war

SCEE's president and CEO David Reeves has told MCV that E3 was a phoney war, and that Sony will let off the first of its peak season “fireworks” in Leipzig next month.

Talking exclusively to MCV, he intimated that a series of big announcements will be made at the Game Convention trade and consumer show in Germany – massively enhancing the appeal of both the PlayStation 3 and PSP.


“We prefer to make our big statements in Leipzig, it suits us much better,” Reeves told MCV. “Yes it has been a bit of a slow summer, but we feel that we have kept the momentum going.

“There will be absolute fireworks at peak, that I can promise you. We will be doing things no-one has seen yet for both PS3 and PSP.”

The PS3 version of Fatal Intertia has been delayed due to "difficulties" with the Unreal Engine's performance on the Sony hardware. The game was originally designed specifically for the system, yet is deemed to be "not running well enough" according to a Koei representative. The Xbox 360 version is to be released ahead of it, as delaying it further while the PS3 version is fixed wasn't deemed necessary

The SCEE prez promises "fireworks" at next month's GCDC. (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/806/806986p1.html)


"We prefer to make our big statements in Leipzig, it suits us much better," Reeves reportedly told MCV, apparently intimating that E3 is small schnitzel in comparison. "There will be absolute fireworks at peak, that I can promise you. We will be doing things no-one has seen yet for both PS3 and PSP."

Capcom Label PS3 "Sluggish"


In a belated translation of Capcom's Q&A following the company's latest financials, the Japanese publisher labelled PlayStation3 sales as "sluggish" and in a double-pronged attack claimed the "PSP hasn't achieved the numbers expected."

Perhaps a reminder of why the Japanese publisher has adopted a multi-format development policy regarding titles such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, it's worth noting that Capcom have created one of the most successful titles to appear on the PSP in the shape of the Monster Hunter series.

Πτώση κατά 61% στις πωλήσεις του Xbox 360

To μηχάνημα της Microsoft, όμως, παραμένει σε κυρίαρχη θέση.


Hανακοίνωση των αποτελεσμάτων για το οικονομικό έτος 2007, δεν ζωγραφίζει μια ωραία εικόνα για τη Microsoft. Οι πωλήσεις του Xbox 360, οι οποίες την περσινή αντίστοιχη περίοδο έφτασαν τα 1,8 εκατομύρια τεμάχια, φέτος έπεσαν στα 700.000. Ανάλογη είναι και η εικόνα των κερδών του τμήματος DevicesandEntertainmentτης εταιρείας, το οποίο σημείωσε ζημία της τάξης των 1,2 δισεκατομυρίων δολαρίων. Βέβαια, η ζημία αυτή οφείλεται κυρίως στην επέκταση της εγγύησης του μηχανήματος, μια αρκετά γενναία κίνηση που κόστισε στην εταιρεία 1,06 δις δολάρια. Ίσως τελικά να μην ήταν τόσο προσωπικοί οι λόγοι του Mooreγια τη μετάβασή του στην ΕΑ.

Αυτό βέβαια δεν σημαίνει πως το Xbox 360 χάνει προς το παρόν τη θέση του ως το κυρίαρχο μηχάνημα αυτής της γενιάς. Παρά τις εκπληκτικές πωλήσεις του Wiiκαι της αύξησης των πωλήσεων του PS3 που προκάλεσε η πρόσφατη (προσωρινή, κατά τα φαινόμενα) μείωση της τιμής του, το 360 παραμένει μπροστά, έχοντας αποστείλει στα καταστήματα περισσότερα από 11,5 εκατομύρια τεμάχια. Επιπλέον, ο Σεπτέβριος φέρνει μαζί του και το Halo 3, έναν τίτλο που έχει προπωλήσει ούτε λίγο ούτε πολύ επτά εκατομύρια τεμάχια, ενώ το XboxLiveεξακολουθεί να πηγαίνει πολύ καλά, ενσωματώνοντας στο LiveArcadeτίτλους όπως το WingCommanderκαι το Bomberman.

Sony, which competes with Canon Inc. (7751.T: Quote, Profile, Research) in digital cameras and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and Nintendo Co. Ltd. (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) in video games, earned an operating profit of 99.32 billion yen ($825.6 million) in April-June, up from 27.05 billion yen a year earlier.

This is a turnaround from an operating loss of 113.4 billion yen in the previous three months, when Sony booked losses at its once high-flying game unit.

Sony's PlayStation 3 game console has lagged Nintendo's Wii in monthly sales since their launches late last year due to the PS3's high price and scarcity of strong software titles.

Sony kept unchanged its operating profit forecast of 440 billion yen for the year to March 2008. That is up sharply from 71.75 billion yen a year earlier, when the company was hit by hefty costs for launching the PS3, and compares with a consensus of 423.7 billion in a poll of 20 analysts by Reuters Estimates.

Rumors: New Bionic Commando, And Four RPGs From Level 5

The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly's Quartermann rumor mill is coming with a fresh set of rumors to peruse. The juiciest hearsay is that Capcom's Bionic Commando, once rumored to be getting the remake treatment, is now being developed as a full-fledged installment for the PlayStation Network (http://www.n4g.com/gaming/News-55186.aspx#).

Dark Cloud developer Level 5, whose current PlayStation 3 project White Knight Story has been outside of the limelight since wowing us with footage from last year's Tokyo Game Show, is rumored to be announcing four new RPGs at this year's TGS in September. And they're not necessarily PS3 games (http://www.n4g.com/gaming/News-55186.aspx#), either

Sony Online to Reveal New Game at Fan Faire

Sony Online Entertainment announced today that they will unveil a new online game at their annual Fan Faire this weekend, which takes place at the Rio hotel on the Vegas strip. The game will then launch later in August.

Company president John Smedley -- who, in a vaguely disconcerting attempt to endear him to fans, is referred to as "Smed" in the press release -- will unveil the game to the over 1000 MMO fans in attendance during his opening remarks on Friday, August 3, at 5:30 PM PDT. Attendees will get the first chance to demo the game.


Since the game will launch just weeks after the unveiling, I imagine that it is some kind of downloadable PC title. But that's just me. Other products at the three-day fan festival will include Pirates of the Burning Sea, Gods and Heroes, and the latest Everquest expansion packs.

The Full Scoop: No Announcement for U.S. PlayStation 3 DVR

Sony and TiVo speak the same language regarding speculation around PS3 DVR

Sony Computer Entertainment America's PlayStation 3 offers a hot list of capabilities including Bluetooth controllers, Blu-ray movie playback, WiFi internet connectivity and hard drives capable of storing demos and movie trailers. Yet, trailers seem like child's play when compared to Xbox 360's full movie download rentals and the future use of TV over IP (IPTV) over the Xbox Live service.
SCEA hasn't said much about its intentions to get into video but a new head of marketing for SCE New Zealand recently said that digital video recorder (DVR) capabilities would soon be offered (http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/news/?id=16993) as the country gains Freeview terrestrial digital broadcast channels.

Just yesterday, we talked to SCEA's Dave Karraker about the agreement that Sony Electronics, Inc. has with TiVo. Back in 2001, Sony and TiVo signed an agreement that would allow Sony to feature TiVo software. While Sony has offered standalone TiVo (SVR 2000 & 3000) machines along with a DirecTiVo (T60) receiver, Sony hasn't made much use of the agreement.

Considering that the original contract is scheduled to end in October 2008, there's still time. With TiVo's growing list of patents and U.S.-based user base, which should grow as a TiVo-enabled Comcast digital receiver releases, adding DVR capabilities via a unit that would decode channels through the CableCard interface seems theoretically possible.

Sony has tried its hand at DVRs in Japan at the end of 2003 with the PlayStation 2-based unit known as the PSX. The 160 to 250 GB units introduced what was to become the PlayStation 3's XMB (Cross Media Bar). Sales data regarding that unit's success (or lack thereof) isn't readily available, but a history of price drops after its original $950 MSRP suggest it failed to gain a large audience in Japan.

Given that the PlayStation 3 now supports the more HD-friendly H.264/MPEG4 video format versus the PSX's MPEG2 standard format, it would seem as if Sony was gradually building features that resemble DVR functionality.

Karraker, again reiterated his comment from the day before, "We [SCEA] have no announcement regarding DVR capabilities for the PS3 in North America at this time."

A representative for TiVo replied to GameDaily's query with a friendly "no comment."

As more information comes to light and we force PR people to start statements with something other than "no," we'll pass that along.

More Reasons why PS3’s Blu-Ray wins over the 360’s DVD (http://www.mtechxp.net/main/more-reasons-why-ps3s-blu-ray-wins-over-the-360s-dvd)

Today, though, id Tech 5 surfaced. Behind closed doors at QuakeCon 2007 (http://www.quakecon.org/) in Dallas, id CEO Todd Hollenshead revealed the demo was actually the first look at Rage, an all-new IP. As mentioned at WWDC, the game is in simultaneous development for the PC, Mac, PS3, and 360, and will use the second generation of id’s “Megatexture” technology. The game will be come on a single Blu-ray disc for PS3 owners, while all other versions will require two DVDs.
Speaking to a small collection of game journalists, Hollenshead explained that Rage was a deliberate departure from the corridor shooters that made id famous. Its gameplay will be “60 percent shooting and 40 percent driving” between villages in a postapocalyptic wasteland. Its setting will be a far future which has seen civilization decimated after a comet smashes into the Earth. Players will aid the villages’ inhabitants in fighting both an oppressive regime and various mutants and monsters roaming the wasteland. [Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6176188.html)]

H Parallel Processing Corp ζήτησε από ομοσπονδιακό δικαστήριο των ΗΠΑ να επιβάλει στη Sony την καταστροφή όλων των Playstation 3 τα οποία, σύμφωνα με την PPC, παραβιάζουν πατέντα της για την τεχνολογία μικροεπεξεργαστών.

Η PPC ισχυρίζεται ότι ο επεξεργαστής που αναπτύχθηκε από τη Sony, την Toshiba και την IBM καταπατά την πατέντα της εταιρείας για «συγχρονισμένη παράλληλη επεξεργασία με κοινή μνήμη». Η συγκεκριμένη πατέντα έχει καταχωρηθεί στην PPC τον Οκτώβριο του 1991.

Η τεχνολογία της PPC διαχωρίζει τις απαιτήσεις ενός προγράμματος σε ξεχωριστές εργασίες οι οποίες διενεργούνται παράλληλα από ξεχωριστούς επεξεργαστές. Η συγκεκριμένη τεχνολογία αυξάνει την ταχύτητα υπολογισμού.

Ο κεντρικός επεξεργαστής του Playstation 3, με το όνομα Cell Broadband Engine, είναι ένα από τα πιο προηγμένα τεχνολογικά στοιχεία της παιχνιδομηχανής. Η κυψέλη παράγει υπολογιστική δύναμη που ισούται με την ισχύ οχτώ ανεξάρτητων μικροεπεξεργαστών και συμβάλλει σε μεγάλο βαθμός στο χαμηλό κόστος της κονσόλας.

Η αγωγή της PPC δεν είναι η πρώτη που σχετίζεται με το Playstation. Η Sony φέτος συμβιβάστηκε προσφέροντας αποζημίωση 150,3 εκ. δολ. έτσι ώστε να τερματίσει αγωγή σε δικαστήριο στην California όπου η Sony αποδείχτηκε ένοχη για καταπάτηση πατέντας. Η πατέντα είχε να κάνει με το λογισμικό που συγχρονίζει τη δράση του παιχνιδιού με τα τηλεχειριστήρια και προκαλεί δονήσεις σε αυτά όταν υπάρχει ανάλογη δράση.

O υπεύθυνος του τομέα Home της Sony για το PlayStation 3 Peter Edward αποκάλυψε κατά τη διάρκεια ομιλίας στο Edinburgh Interactive Festival ότι όσοι χρήστες προσπαθήσουν να χρησιμοποιήσουν κακόβουλα την εφαρμογή της εταιρίας, θα βλέπουν τα συστήματά τους να «αποβάλλονται» από τους online servers της. Η δήλωση είναι αρκετά σοβαρή και απόλυτα ξεκάθαρη, αναφέροντας ότι όποιος απορριφθεί από το PlayStation Network θα αναγκαστεί να αγοράσει νέο σύστημα για να εισέλθει ξανά σε online περιβάλλον. Σε περίπτωση που κάποιος από τους συμμετέχοντες στο Home εντοπίσει μία κακόβουλη πράξη, θα μπορεί να το αναφέρει και η Sony θα ακολουθεί μία συγκεκριμένη διαδικασία πιστοποίησής της και λήψης μέτρων. Ένα από τα μέτρα προστασίας που θα πάρει η ιαπωνική εταιρία θα έχει να κάνει και με την ηλικία του κάθε χρήστη, αφού οι περιοχές του εικονικού κόσμου θα χωριστούν σε τομείς. Σε αυτούς που θα επιτρέπεται η συμμετοχή ενηλίκων, θα υπάρχουν και οι ανάλογες διαφημίσεις αλκοολούχων ποτών, τσιγάρων κτλ. Αναμένουμε με αγωνία να δούμε το Home σε εφαρμογή…

H Sony Computer Entertainment ανακοίνωσε ότι αύριο, 22 Αυγούστου, θα διαθέσει διαμέσου της υπηρεσίας PlayStation Network το πρώτο demo από το επερχόμενο Action/ Adventure παιχνίδι Folklore. Όπως έχουμε ήδη δει από την επαφή μας με έναν preview κώδικα, η δημιουργία της Game Republic (δημιουργός της σειράς Genji) καταπιάνεται με παραμύθια και φανταστικές ιστορίες διαφόρων πολιτισμών (κυρίως κέλτικων) και διαθέτει μια ξεχωριστή, απολύτως σουρεαλιστική ατμόσφαιρα. Μέσα από το demo, οι παίκτες θα μπορούν να ελέγξουν τον έναν από τους δύο διαθέσιμους πρωταγωνιστές της περιπέτειας, την Ellen, η οποία μεταβαίνει στο μυστηριώδες χωριό Doolin προκειμένου να βρει την χαμένη μητέρα της. Όσοι δείξετε ενδιαφέρον για το demo του Folklore θα πρέπει να βιαστείτε, μιας και η Sony ανακοίνωσε ότι αυτό θα παραμείνει στους servers του PSN για περιορισμένο χρονικό διάστημα. Σύντομα θα διαβάσετε από το GameOver ένα αναλυτικό Preview από τη δοκιμή μας και με τους δύο χαρακτήρες του παιχνιδιού.

Rumour?! BioShock coming to PS3


When asked if BioShock would be coming to PS3, our contact informed us that we'd be wrong to think the game wouldn't be released on Sony's console at a later date.

The statement validates news from Tuesday, where eagle-eyed BioShock demo owners discovered a snippet of code (http://kotaku.com/gaming/rumor/bioshock-ps3-rumor-rekindled-by-code-291944.php) listing both Xbox 360 and PS3 as consoles under a file setting.

It should be noted that BioShock uses the Unreal graphics engine, which supports select Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 games.

Crytek deep into PS3 development, creating "secret technologies" (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/08/23/crytek-deep-into-ps3-development-creating-secret-technologies/)


http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2007/08/crysis425.jpg (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=27964)

Crytek, the team behind the upcoming Crysis, is heavily invested in console development. In fact, it appears that Crytek is especially invested in Sony's next-gen platform. "Our PS3 development is going deeper than many people assume right now," studio boss Cevat Yerli told GI.biz (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=27964).

The team is currently working on a console game, and it appears that the game is being built from the ground up for PS3. "It's a complete departure from Crysis and Far Cry, it's not a first-person shooter," he explained. The game, which is also bound for Xbox 360, won't feature any of the cross-platform issues that have been plaguing sloppier releases. "For that, we're optimising technology, but for another reason, the future in general, there is a dedicated PS3 team."

Crytek is working on additional technologies, specifically for Sony's platform. "The PS3 room is separate because we have some secret technologies being developed there which are not related to CryEngine 2." Obviously, this comes as exciting news -- one just has to take one look at Crysis to see the incredible grasp Crytek has on bleeding edge technology. We can't wait to see what they're cooking up for the PS3.

Μετά την ανακοίνωση που έγινε στα πλαίσια της Ε3 και η οποία αποκάλυψε ότι η κορεατική NCsoft θα αναπτύξει δικτυακά παιχνίδια ρόλων για το PlayStation 3, ήταν λογικό ότι θα ακολουθούσαν δηλώσεις που θα ερχόντουσαν για να στηρίξουν αυτήν την επιλογή της εταιρείας. Μιλώντας λοιπόν στη σελίδα Games Industry, το μεγάλο αφεντικό της NCsoft Ευρώπης Geoff Health ανέφερε ότι οι PC gamers θα μεταπηδήσουν σταδιακά στο PlayStation 3. "Υπάρχουν διαφορές μεταξύ των PC και των console gamers αλλά υπάρχουν και κοινά σημεία" είπε ο πρόεδρος της NCsoft και συνέχισε "Ο μακροπρόθεσμος στόχος μας είναι άνθρωποι που έπαιζαν παραδοσιακά μόνο σε υπολογιστές να αρχίσουν να μεταπηδούν προς το PlayStation 3. Μόλις γίνει αντιληπτό το τι μπορεί να κάνει το PS3, νομίζω ότι αυτή η μεταπήδηση θα γίνεται όλο και μεγαλύτερη".

Μιλώντας σχετικά με τα παιχνίδια που ετοιμάζει η εταιρεία του για το PS3 -χωρίς φυσικά να αποκαλύψει ποια είναι αυτά- ο Geoff Health ανέφερε ότι το "πρόβλημα" που αντιμετωπίζει η NCsoft εντοπίζεται στο ότι έχει πολλά από αυτά. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η εταιρεία των Lineage και Guild Wars έχει υπό ανάπτυξη εννέα "παραδοσιακά" MMOs και άλλα είκοσι δωρεάν (χωρίς συνδρομή) ΜΜΟs παιχνίδια, εκ των οποίων τρία ή τέσσερα θα μεταφερθούν στο PS3. Το ποια θα είναι αυτά βρίσκεται υπό συζήτηση με τη Sony. Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε περισσότερα για τη συνεργασία της NCsoft με τη Sony στη συνέντευξη του Geoff Health στο GamesIndustry.

Rumor: Dead Rising 2 not to be an Xbox 360 exclusive (http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=20400)

A new rumor is circlulating around the web that Dead Rising 2 may not be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Capcom is also expected to be very midly showing off the title at this years Tokyo Game Show. If the Dead Rising franchise was no longer Xbox exclusive, would it really be a big loss?


Word is leaking from Capcom today that Dead Rising 2 could be making a brief appearance at TGS later this month.

No word on whether or not this will be on the show floor, or behind closed doors but we’ll be sure to bring you more information on the title as and when we get it. Other information is coming forward claiming that Dead Rising 2 will not in fact be a 360 exclusive like the first title was and may be coming to PS3 as well. This is certainly no surprise with Capcom already having stated earlier this year that they wanted to make the most out of their new IP’s. Could this mean a port of Lost Planet for PS3 too?

Rumor: SCEE Announces New PS3 Bundle w/Heavenly Sword

http://www.deeko.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/starterpackps3na2.jpg

Sony really loves their bundles, because they keep making more of them. This one includes F1 Racing and Heavenly Sword. I spotted this over on the GAF, and while I can’t find any damn press release for the thing (which is why I’m labeling this as rumor), I’m fairly certain this is legit. Interesting enough is that this bundle still has the 60 GB HDD, seems they still have plenty in stock to sell through. The bundle will retail for the same price point as the Resistance bundle does. This starter pack looks to be a hell of a good deal, I only wish we (US) could get something as nice.

Σύμφωνα με μελέτη του οίκου Wedbush Morgan και του αναλυτή Michael Pachter, η Sony θα προχωρήσει σε μείωση τιμής του νέου PlayStation 3 με το σκληρό δίσκο των 80GB. Όπως αναφέρει ο αναλυτής, καθώς το απόθεμα των πακέτων με τον δίσκο των 60GB φτάνει προς την εξάντλησή του, η Sony θα προχωρήσει σε μια γενναία μείωση της τάξεως των 100 δολαρίων για την αντίστοιχη με το δίσκο των 80GB και μάλιστα πριν από τις γιορτές των Χριστουγέννων. Παρόλο που οι εκτιμήσεις των αναλυτών, πολλές φορές, γίνονται δεκτές με έντονο σκεπτικισμό, αξίζει να αναφέρουμε ότι ο Μichael Pachter ήταν ένας από τους πρώτους αναλυτές που είχαν προβλέψει την πρώτη μείωση τιμής, που ανακοινώθηκε από τη Sony τον περασμένο Ιούλιο. Συνεπώς, η γνώμη του έχει μια ιδιαίτερη βαρύτητα. Τέλος, να αναφέρουμε ότι όλες αυτές οι προβλέψεις/ εκτιμήσεις ισχύουν για την αγορά της Αμερικής και μόνο.

No more 30fps for EA PS3 titles, says Moore (http://www.psu.com/No-more-30fps-for-EA-PS3-titles,-says-Moore-News--a0001228-p0.php)

Many consumers were angered upon the discovery that the PlayStation 3 version of Electronic Arts’ Madden 08 ran at a reduced 30fps, despite its Xbox 360 counterpart running at a full 60fps.

However, former Xbox boss Peter Moore has now declared that these issues will soon be rectified, pretty much eliminating far-fetched rumors of how he purposely tried to sabotage EA's PS3 titles. Moore, now head of EA Sports, commented that starting with NBA Live 08, all EA sports titles will be guaranteed to run at 60 frames a second on the PS3 (including the previously 30fps-announced NHL 08)

Answering in regards to the reason why the PS3 version suffered from such limitations, Moore made it clear developers have simply not had enough time with PS3 development kits.

"I see it [the issue] going away with NBA Live 08. I think that we had a little bit of a mea culpa, but we're getting up to speed on the platform. But that's in the past. And beginning with NBA, we're going to see PS3 titles from EA Sports running at 60 frames a second. So all of that'll be forgotten by the holiday”, said Moore

$400 40GB PS3 with Spidey 3 Blu-ray pack-in? Our mole tells all
By Ben Kuchera | Published: September 09, 2007 - 10:16PM CT

Our mole has a great track record: both the Xbox 360 HDMI story and the wired Xbox 360 Rock Band controllers have since been confirmed. Whoever our friendly inside source is, he's got some great contacts. Now he's ready to tell us what Sony's console pricing plans may soon look like. Here's how Sony's platform pricing will shape up by the holiday shopping season:

80GB PlayStation 3: $499.99
40GB PlayStation 3: $399.99
Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray movie pack in with one, or both
PlayStation 2: $99.99

The 80GB price drop isn't that shocking, but a new $400 40GB system would be huge news. Would people be willing to part with 40GB to save $100? I think so, and having a $400 PlayStation 3 option would be a great weapon this holiday season. If they get to show off the Blu-ray capabilities of the system with Spider-Man 3 bundled? That's a nice package.

The $99.99 PlayStation 2 would ensure that the venerable system will continue to sell well. This is rumor for now, but when Sony makes some announcements at the Tokyo Game Show, I would not be shocked if these were among them. You heard it here first.

Ξανά στο προσκήνιο το remake του Final Fantasy VII

Όλα είναι θέμα επιλογής της σωστής χρονικής στιγμής, σύμφωνα με τη Square Enix.

http://www.gamelife.gr/admin/news/images_large/ff7remakegeneric1.jpg



Άλλη μια φήμη που αρνείται να πεθάνει έκανε και πάλι την εμφάνισή της. Όπως θα γνωρίζουν ήδη όσοι θα έχουν παρακολουθήσει την ιστορία από την αρχή, μετά το demo του FF VII που παρουσίασε η Square Enix κατά την ανακοίνωση του Playstation 3, οι φήμες δίνουν και παίρνουν ότι ένα remake του πιο δημοφιλούς τίτλου για τα next-gen συστήματα και ιδιαίτερα για το PS3 βρίσκεται κρυφά υπό ανάπτυξη. Η Square Enix έχει διαψεύσει μέχρι σήμερα κάθε τέτοια φήμη, χωρίς να πείσει όμως ιδιαίτερα κοινό και δημοσιογράφους.

Μιλώντας στο Famitsu σχετικά με το επόμενο project του franchise, το Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII για το PSP, o Hideki Imaisumi, παραγωγός του τίτλου, ρωτήθηκε αν τελικά θα ικανοποιηθεί το αίτημα των φίλων της σειράς για ένα remake του αυθεντικού Final Fantasy VII. Αν και παρόμοια σε ουσία, η απάντηση του Imaisumi ήταν πολύ διαφορετική σε ύφος από την επίσημη γραμμή της εταιρείας μέχρι σήμερα, καθώς το στέλεχος της Square Enix επικαλέστηκε χρονικά προβλήματα για τον τίτλο και όχι οικονομικά, δεδομένου ότι η βασική ομάδα του Final Fantasy δουλεύει για το Final Fantasy XIII.

Παρά την άρνηση της φήμης, ο Imaisumi φρόντισε να θολώσει τα νερά, λέγοντας πως μια απόφαση σαν το remake του FF VII μπορεί να ληφθεί από «μέρα σε μέρα», υπενθυμίζοντας πως και το Crisis Core, ένας τίτλος-μαμούθ για το PSP, ο οποίος εκμεταλλεύεται κάθε kilobyte του UMD, εγκρίθηκε μέσα σε δύο μέρες. Επιπλέον, ο Imaisumi δήλωσε πως ένας νέος τίτλος που σχετίζεται με το franchise θα ανακοινωθεί στο φετινό Tokyo Games Show. Τέλος, επανέλαβε ότι, φέτος, τη χρονιά που συμπίπτει με την 20ή επέτειο του Final Fantasy, οι ανακοινώσεις αναμένεται να συνεχιστούν μέχρι το τέλος του έτους.

Sony Quiet on New $400 PS3 Whispers

http://www.n4g.com/M/8/News/66000/66600_hs.jpg

Next-Gen contacted Sony Computer Entertainment America regarding the rumor, and the firm answered with an expected “It's our policy not to comment on rumors or speculation” line.

This isn’t the first time that word of a $400 PS3 has made rounds. In July, Microsoft blogger and Xbox biz strategist Andre “Ozymandias” Vrignaud forecasted a $400 40GB PS3 for the holidays, which will have some of its ancillary features stripped.

Φήμη για exclusive από την Atlus... ίσως και το persona.


A New PS3 Exclusive Game From Atlus; Might Be at TGS
On IGN's Podcast Beyond ep. 12 , they have said that Atlus is working on a new exclusive game for PS3 which might be the next Persona. Apparently, Atlus is trying to figure out when to bring out information about the game. IGN said that they're thinking about getting us the info after TGS.

If you've never heard of Persona, it's a hidden RPG gem, even amongst the hardcore gamers. Because of the nature of that, it's not some huge system seller so for the people that only care about sales, this isn't what it's going to be. However, if all you care about is great games, here's another one

http://www.n4g.com/M/8/News/67000/67801_hs.jpg First off, there could be a price slash for the 40GB PS3 down to $399, which happens to same exact price point that the iPhone was dropped to quite recently.

Pachter has explained that, "If the rumors are true, he could not think of a better forum for making such an announcement, given that the event is less than a week before the launch of archrival Microsoft’s Halo 3."

If the sub-$400 PlayStation 3 happens, look for Sony's next-gen console to jump past Xbox 360 in the charts immediately.

EMS Now, a site dedicated to monitoring the global electronic manufacturing industry, posted a piece regarding the news that Hon Hai will begin to manufacture PS3s. The site, admittedly, is boring to read much of the time, but, if you pay close attention to the facts mentioned in their stories, occasionally you'll find little nuggets of information such as the one below:

Insiders in the sector said that Sony has cut the selling price of PS3 consoles, and, at the mean time, planned to launch low-price models, with ASUSTeK Computer Inc. and Hon Hai Precision to supply the models.

The rumor originated when a "reliable source" mentioned Sony's changing up their Playstation offerings for the Holiday Season like so:

* $499.99 for the 80GB Playstation 3, currently $599.99
* $399.99 for the 40GB Playstation 3, currently nonexistent
* Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray included with at least one of the PS3 packages
* $99.99 for the Playstation 2, currently $129.99

$399.99 for a fully functional Blu-ray player and next-gen high def gaming console? Not bad, not bad at all… if true.

PS3 Secrets Exposed:
In-Game Custom Song Player from HDD & In-Game Friend Messsaging


MaxConsole Forum member We! has confirmed that it is possible for the PS3 to play songs from the hard drive while a game is in play. This Spanish gamer was playing 'Everyday Together' on the PS3 (a Japanese downloadable PSN title) and he was trying to guess what each option did and stumbled across an option that asked him which tracked he wanted to play. Moreover the options were actually from there on in Spanish (his firmware language) which indicates that the player is integrated into the firmware and not options of the game as it is Japanese. Further to this, the player is quite advanced and it is clear Sony has been working on it as it has a number of options such as random playback, repeat a folder and related options. But that is not all, this game allows you to send IN GAME messages to your friends so you don't have to quit the game. It is also believed that this title is actually the first to take advantage of Remote Play with LAIR actually being the second. See more pics of the player and corresponding materials here (http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?p=683701#post683701).

http://www.n4g.com/M/8/News/69000/69797_hs.jpg Rumors have been circling for weeks about Sony planning a cheaper 40GB Playstation 3, but now it looks like it's a little more than a rumor. It has been revealed that Sony has approached Taiwanese manufacturer FoxConn and asked them to make a lower-spec Sony PS3.

According to Sky News (http://news.sky.com/skynews/xml/article/tech/0,,91221-10259,00.html), a manufacturing source has revealed that Taiwanese FoxConn (which also produces PS2s) will make the rumored $399 PS3.
An announcement could come sometime this week in an effort to "spoil" the high profile launch of Halo 3 for Xbox 360 says Sky.
Previous (http://gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=132288) reports (http://gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=133528) speculated that Sony would drop the price of the 80GB PS3 to match the current price ($499) of the now discontinued (http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=131768) 60GB PS3.
In order to offer a $399 PS3, Sky News reports that Sony will either remove the console's USB ports or backwards compatibility.
Sony denied comment on the report when contacted by GamePro.

κατι τοσο βλακωδες οσο αυτο ειχα καιρο να ακουσω, πρωτον γιατι το Ps3 χρειζεται τις USB πορτες για να φορτιζεις τον controller, και δευτερον γιατι το backwards compatibility τοσο στα ευρωπαικα μοντελα απο την αρχη οσο και στα νεα που βγαινουν τωρα ειναι καθαρα θεμα software emulation, οποτε και δεν εχει κανενα κοστος, να ελεγαν οτι μπορει να βγει το wifi η ο card reader τοτε ναι θα ειχε ενα νοημα.

Από τις αρχές του τρέχοντος μήνα, ξεκίνησε να κυκλοφορεί στα δημοσιογραφικά γραφεία η φήμη ότι και το Mercenaries 2 θα είναι ένας από τους φετινούς τίτλους που θα καθυστερήσουν να κυκλοφορήσουν. Τόσο ο publisher, όσο και ο developer του τίτλου δεν προχώρησαν μέχρι σήμερα σε κάποια δήλωση, ωστόσο η Pandemic αποφάσισε να δώσει κάποιες πληροφορίες. Σύμφωνα με συνέντευξη υψηλόβαθμου στελέχους της στο IGN, ο τίτλος δεν είναι ακόμα ολοκληρωμένος και όπως ανέφερε χαρακτηριστικά «δε θέλουμε απλά να παραδώσουμε το παιχνίδι στο προκαθορισμένο χρονικό διάστημα, απλά για να το κάνουμε. Η καθυστέρηση μεταφέρει το παιχνίδι για το πρώτο τρίμηνο του 2008 και δεν έχει να κάνει σε καμία περίπτωση με πρόβλημα στην ανάπτυξη κάποιου format ή χαρακτηριστικά που θα προστεθούν ή θα αφαιρεθούν. Έχουμε να κάνουμε απλά με την ορθότερη ολοκλήρωση ενός προϊόντος». Υπενθυμίζουμε ότι το Mercenaries 2 αναπτύσσεται για PlayStation3, Xbox 360, PC και PlayStation2.

Today the FCC revealed a new model nr. PS3 namely: CECHG01 (see picture above),the specific details and pictures must be kept a secret untill mid october as requested by Sony.
From the published data by the FCC we can tell the following: Bluetooth 2.0,802.11b- and g-wifi, 3,2GHz processor,66MHz ata,33MHz pci and 750MHz sata,usb , hdmi and ethernet

a smaller hardrive is a possibility..

there are rumours from some testdata that FCC revealed that this PS3 only has 2 USB ports/and no cardreader.

Some people already are naming it 'PS3 Lite' and there are some rumours that this PS3 is smaller but nothing is certain http://forums.gametrailers.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

October 12, the big-bang according to Sony?


September 28, 2007 - During this summer 2007, the international living rooms will have been as numerous as the advertisements will have been rare. If one were to give a progress report on the revelations resulting from E3 (July, in the USA), Games Convention (August, in Germany) and Tokyo Game Show (September, in Japan), not sure that there would be what to leap of his armchair. A new PSP Slim & Light, the exit of X360 Elite and the tariff fall of the other versions of X360, or advertisement of the pad Dual Shock 3 of the PS3, here is in substance the advertisements manufacturers. Without forgetting the interrogations around the supposed fall obviously - and waited - price of the PS3, which was simply concretized by the replacement in the USA of the pack 60GB (sold for the circumstance 500$) by a pack 80GB coming to replace old while beginning again until its price: the famous 600$ considered to be too high by considerable actors of the videoludic scene, to start with editors who hopelessly await a fall in the price of the PS3 to see their expensive productions being sold. Editors who go even sometimes until tancer Sony on the subject: Ubisoft, Eidos and Square (to quote only them) for example still recently firmly gave an opinion in favour of a fall in the price of the PS3. Without success for the moment…

Indeed, it seems that the dated October 12, 2007 one was chosen by Sony to make an enough important advertisement to be qualified in-house “big-bang”…

Sony will thus have benefitted from no go international to announce this famous fall of price, on which all the speculations run since long months already, relayed in that by the opinions of financial analysts increasingly many to predict a reduction of 100$ of the price of the PS3. For as much, Sony really plans T it not to lower the price of its console before the festivals of end of the year? One could think it, insofar as - the advancing calendar - it seems that the manufacturer let pass all the good occasions to announce the news. However, nothing is less sure. Indeed, it seems that the dated October 12, 2007 one was chosen by Sony to make an enough important advertisement to be described asin-house “big-bang”. They are specialized retailers close to the manufacturer who entrust the news to us, that he is obviously necessary to take with the tweezers of use. Nevertheless, if one wants to wonder well which event made in Sony would have enough width to act as “big-bang”, one quickly comes from there to imagine the return of the revenge on the fall on the price on the PS3. A fall which would thus intervene right before the exit of PES 2008 in particular, which one knows from now on that it will be also sold in a bundle PS3/PES. A pack which should make devastations, and which one does not know yet the price [edict: some evoke already a bundle with 449€!]. As it is strange…

Does a PS3 finally drop some and October 12, 2007 to be marked of a red cross? Perhaps, even if one remains for the moment in the field of the speculation. What is less speculative on the other hand, they are the last figures of sale of the PS3 and X360 on the French ground. Because coincidence sympathetic nerve, Microsoft and Sony France all two have just communicated on the sales of their respective consoles in France. What currently gives us: a park of 430,000 X360 installed in France (the console left in December 2005), against right now more than 200,000 “sold” PS3 if one believes president George Fornay of it (for a PS3 left in March 2007). Where it is understood that in spite of its puffing starting, the console of Sony unrelentingly makes up for its lost time on its Microsoft competitor, no matter what one thinks about it. Good moment to give a blow of accelerator before Christmas… via a fall of price?

If you still needed more confirmation about Sony's new PS3 model, which most believe will be a slimmed-down 40GB unit (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/40gb), this might be just what you need. Sony's Blu-raySavings.com (http://bluraysavings.com/) lists the new model as a qualifier to receive five free Blu-ray movies once you've purchased the system.

Earlier this week, Sony spun us into a frenzy when an FCC filing was published (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/09/27/40gb-ps3-listed-on-fcc-website/) detailing some features of the CECHG01 model. At this point, we're not too sure what Sony's waiting for as it keeps declining to comment (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=84418) on one of the worst-kept secrets of recent memory. Just go ahead and announce the thing already!

Κατάθεση νέου κωδικού από τη Sony παραπέμπει ξανά σε νέο μοντέλο PS3 (http://www.gamelife.gr/cPages/news.asp?id=1482)



Ο κόσμος το έχει τούμπανο και η Sony κρυφό καμάρι...

http://www.gamelife.gr/admin/news/images_large/ps3eurolaunchdet1.jpg



Μετά τις πρόσφατες φήμες σχετικά με ένα φθηνότερο PS3 με σκληρό δίσκο 40 GB και τη διάψευσή τους από τη Sony, ένα νέο εύρημα έρχεται να ρίξει και πάλι λάδι στη φωτιά. Σύμφωνα με δημοσίευμα στο επίσημο site της Ομοσπονδιακής Επιτροπής Επικοινωνιών των ΗΠΑ (FCC), η Sony έχει υποβάλει ένα νέο, άγνωστης ταυτότητας προϊόν προς έλεγχο. Σύμφωνα με την αμερικανική νομοθεσία, κάθε νέα συσκευή η οποία έχει να κάνει με ασύρματη επικοινωνία πρέπει να ελέγχεται από την FCC και ακολούθως να βεβαιώνεται ότι ακολουθεί όλες τις νόμιμες προδιαγραφές.

Το νέο προϊόν, λοιπόν, φέρει τον κωδικό CECHG01, ο οποίος διαφέρει μόνο κατά ένα γράμμα από τον αντίστοιχο για το PS3 των 60 GB (CECHA01), καθώς και από αυτόν του μοντέλου των 80 GB (CECHB01). Επιπλέον, η καταχώρηση του FCC αναφέρει ως κατασκευαστή του προϊόντος μια θυγατρική της Asustek, της εταιρείας που έχει αναλάβει την κατασκευή του μοντέλου των 80 GB.

The New PlayStation 3: CECHG01 Model - A Few Unforementioned Details


http://www.rumorreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/ps3_fcc_lable_cropped.jpg (http://www.rumorreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/ps3_fcc_lable_cropped.jpg)

Anyone who’s seen SponG’s report about the new PS3 model should already have been expecting all of this (Link: http://news.spong.com/article/13844?cb=814 (http://news.spong.com/article/13844?cb=814)).
But after reading the report a few days ago, I have more details to report on the new PlayStation 3, as I’ve obtained an un-edited copy of the initial FCC (Federal Communication Commission) report (below with the original 60GB version of the PS3). Here are the things to note that’s not in the previous reports on this topic:


1. The new PS3 model uses less power than the other models. This one uses 3A (Power Measurement), while the older version use 3.3A and 3.2A respectively.
2. The new PS3 will include a brand-new controller, most likely the recently announced Dual-Shock 3 (this is proven in the document)
3. The new PS3’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware has seen a significant upgrade, possibly allowing for longer distances and even faster connections.
4. I’ve heard dripplings of a 65nm chipset coming soon. Could this model be the very first in the line of quieter, less-power consuming PS3 models?
I’ve attached all of the images that I have below. But let’s get to the point… a 40GB PS3 for $399? Maybe. A new PS3 announced in the next two weeks? Count on it.

BioWare pres: There will never be any serious differences between PS3 and Xbox 360


http://www.maxconsole.net/assets/gfx/dot_clear.gif
During a recent interview, BioWare president Greg Zeschuk (Mass Effect) discussed the differences between the PS3 and Xbox 360 amongst other topics. Zeschuk noted that a lot of the improvement in games doesn't come from power alone, the tools available at developer's disposal are more important initially. He also believes that there will not be a big difference between the two platforms even at the end of the typical product life cycle, indicating that there might be a very slight one but only 1 percent of the population could tell.


Eurogamer: What about the argument that PlayStation 3 is technically the most powerful console? As you're trying to push these boundaries, do you wish you had that extra power to play with?

Greg Zeschuk: With power comes challenge. A lot of improvement in games doesn't come so much from raw power as it does from the tools at your disposal - so creating tools and technologies to make the act of creating better, which we focus on a lot. And secondly, pushing the performance; hitting the limit, then pushing and hitting it, then pushing more...

At the end of this cycle, I don't think there's going to be a big difference. If everyone's waiting for this huge difference, it's just not going to happen. By the end of this generation both PS3 and 360 will look awesome. Maybe 1 per cent of the population might be able to tell the difference between the two.

Going back to Bioshock - people said, 'You can't make great games on one DVD.' Well, Bioshock is on one DVD. Mass Effect is on one DVD. Gears is one DVD. It's doable.

Sometimes technologists are best when they've hit the wall. When you tell them they can't do something or they can't go any further, then they go a bit further. By the end of the cycle games for both consoles will look great, that's the main thing.

Panasonic says Blu-ray will overtake HD DVD by 2008

Posted on October 3rd, 2007 at 03:47 EDT

During Ceatec, a large tech trade show, Kazuhiro Tsuga of Matsushita Electic has expressed his faith in the Blu-ray format, claiming that by the end of this year or the first quarter of 2008, BD will stake its dominance over HD DVD.

Matsushita Electric owns Panasonic, one of the leading companies that back Blu-ray technology. Tsuga is the executive officer in charge of networking and home electronics for the company.

Tsuga claims that BD will be running some amazing promotions this holiday seasons, accompanied by price cuts. He also stated that Paramount's recent defection to HD DVD was a timed ordeal that only happened due to large amounts of money handed to them.

These are some big predictions, so, as always, check back for more details on the next gen video format war.

GamePro compares PS3 sales to those of Gamecube

http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps3/games/news/images/137448-1-1.jpg

A lot of people are seemingly comparing the PS3 to a number of other systems. First, it was a 3DO. Now, it's a Gamecube. GamePro took ten months of NPD data and made an intriguing graph showing the sales for both the PS3 and the Gamecube. Although Nintendo's last-gen system featured a number of genre-defining hits, such as Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4, it failed to capture the same market share as its competitors. The current momentum of PS3 seems to suggest that Sony's system may meet the same fate, if it continues to follow its current trend.

There are differences, of course. Gamecube had a relatively short life span, with Nintendo reusing the technology in its currently best-selling Wii console. Sony has stated a potential ten-year life cycle for PS3, one that suggests they're planning for a much longer life cycle than that of the Gamecube.

Although a price cut and a redesigned system may revitalize sales, Sony could always follow Nintendo's footsteps in the years to come: simply duct-tape two PS3s together and call it the PS4

Kotaku: This Holiday Season, PS3 Has The Largest Lineup Of A-list Games Coming Out


"The holiday season is upon us, and that means game publishers across the country and around the world are getting ready to unleash some of the best gaming of the year on our poor, unsuspecting wallets... I've sorted the list by console, listing titles and prices with totals at the end. I chose not to include handhelds... Also excluded are PC games for the same reasons, as well as the fact that system requirements make me wish that I could run out of must-haves."

The List (Only the total price has been listed, full list with games and prices after the jump):

PS3 - Total: $974.88
"Out of the three current gen consoles, the PlayStation 3 has the largest lineup of A-list games coming out between now and Christmas, which is just splendid for those of us who've been patiently for a time when there were too many games to choose from. Even more interesting is the fact that the PS3 is tied with the Wii as far as console exclusives go, with five games that are only coming to the system. Some might question Eye of Judgment's place on the list as a must-have, but I feel it is a system-defining title and deserves a spot there. I'm also pretty excited about Singstar, though I decided to keep it off of the list as I don't think I'm in the majority on that one. Also note that I went with the Rock Band bundle instead of just the game, as it is silly to not buy it in the discounted form."

Wii - Total: $239.95
"While the Wii only has five games coming out that I would consider must-haves, every one of said titles is a console exclusive, though Raving Rabbids 2 is also coming out for the PC. On top of that, there are tons of niche games and children's games heading to the console this holiday season, so while the system might be low on blockbuster hits, it makes up for it in variety."

Xbox 360 - Total: $704.90
"The Xbox 360 only has two exclusives on their must-have list, Ace Combat 6 and Mass Effect, but they're both pretty huge, and of course their biggest title came out last week, so the holiday season is a bit milder for Microsoft's console compared to the PS3. In calculating the cost I went ahead and assumed that you've already bought Guitar Hero II and have the guitar...if not, tack on an extra $40."

"So how about you guys? What titles would you add to the list? What would you take away? How much are you planning to spend on the 2007 holiday gaming season?"

Analysts:16.5m PS3 unit sales by March 2008 (http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=102370)

http://www.n4g.com/M/8/News/72000/72210_hs.jpg

In the Hexagon, Sony ran out 200.000 machines and aims at the bar of the 500.000 for the end of the year. The fall of the price should strongly help there, the 600 euros requested up to that point from the players appearing increasingly crippling.

“After a very strong starting, the curve of the sales very clearly inflected, and the price, as the lack of titles of exclusiveness, played a part determining in this inflecting”, analyzes another editor. With this more reasonable price, Sony envisages to run out in the world 16,5 million consoles at at the end of March, against 5,5 million currently

Πολύ μεγάλοι στόχοι από την Sony... Ακόμα και αν πέσει τόσο σε ευρώπη όσο και Αμερική στα 400ευρώ και 400$ αντίστοιχα και μαζί με όλα αυτά τα games που έρχονται το νούμερο που λένε οτι θα στοχεύσει η sony είναι εξωπραγματικό και φαντάζει ακατόρθωτο με τα μέχρι τώρα δεδομένα... Βέβαια όχι ότι το όνομα Playstation δε μας έχει "τρομάξει" με τα ρεκόρ που έχει κάνει αλλά αυτή τη στιγμή φαίνεται ακατόρθωτο ή τουλάχιστον πολύ δύσκολο!

PlayStation 3: One Year Too Early

A gaming website has created an editorial which uses the PS3 as a shining beacon as to what happens when you launch consumer electronics to the market far too early. They say that the launch all came down to ego and was a mistake in terms of its timing, the PS2 could've happily remained in the market for another year and really challenged the Wii a bit more and eventually make it look like a last-gen 'cheap machine' when the PS3 launched.

Βέβαια άλλο πράγμα αν αλλάξουν κάποια στάνταρ της ίδιας της κονσόλας (πχ 65nm τσιπ), ή αφαίρεση-πρόσθεση άλλων χαρακτηριστικών. Για μένα η κυκλοφορία του 80gb ήταν σκέτη κοροιδία...

5 Reasons Why Playstation 3 Will Come In 3rd This Holiday (http://www.thebitbag.com/index.php/2007/10/07/5-reasons-why-playstation-3-will-come-in-3rd-this-holiday/)


1. Bad Press
The constant flow of bad press is still flowing and I don’t see it stopping any time soon. It’s gonna take a mega hit like Metal Gear Solid 4 to make everyone forget about all the negative rants that have plagued the internet.
2. Lack of Killer Apps
Now even though I’m writing this, I beg to differ. I still think graphically, titles like Heavenly Sword and even Lair are killer apps. These games however, didn’t move the units or set the world on fire like Halo 3 did. Most of the heavily anticipated PS3 games don’t come out until next year…after the holidays.
3. The 360 & The Wii
People who didn’t get a Wii last year will be looking to buy one this year. That’s a guarantee. I’m one of them. Also, the good news surrounding Halo 3 will still have a resonating effect this Christmas. I can bet that the majority of all 360’s sold this Christmas will have a very high Halo 3 attach rate. The PS3 has a couple of great titles coming out this year with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Ratchet and Clank Future and bless it’s soul, Eye Of Judgement. I just don’t think it’s enough to compete.
4. Sony’s Marketing
Sony’s marketing needs some work. They really aren’t pushing their products like they should be. Heavenly Sword, Lair and Warhawk, their 3 big fall titles hardly got any marketing. Yeah, maybe a banner here and there on a website or two, but no great tv ads at all. They shoved Blu-Ray down our throats and for some reason refuse to shove the ads too! Remember that Gears Of War movie theater ad that was out last year? Nuff said.
5. The PS2
While PS2 sales have slowed down, they haven’t ceased. I think Sony’s biggest competition is themselves. If they dropped the PS2 to $99 like I’ve heard, then they will move several of those units this Christmas. I’m willing to bet that they’ll move more PS2’s off the shelves than PS3’s. It’s not a bad thing because the PS2 library is stronger than any game system available right now. Also, the $19.99 bargain bin is a beautiful one. God Of War can be had for that price or lower. It makes for a great Christmas bundle.
So there you have it. Sony has a lot of work to do and I don’t think this Christmas will be the year they shine. Once the must have titles come out next year and they gain some footing, we might see a comeback for the PS3. Just about everything everyone wanted to see this year has been pushed back to 2008, this includes Unreal Tournament 3. I think those guys over at Wii60 had it right. This is waiting.

Κάποιες φήμες που λένε ότι το LA NOIRE θα βγεί μόνο σε PS3/PC γιατί το 360 δεν έχει τον χώρο που χρειάζεται.
http://kotaku.com/gaming/rumor/la-noire-details-leaked-308162.php

Πραγματικά τέτοια games πρέπει να τα έχουν όλα σε ένα disk... από την μιά άκρη της πόλης έως την άλλη. Δεν μπορείς να βάλεις ένα κομμάτι σε δεύτερο δισκάκι και να το βλέπεις μόνο στο τέλος, καταστρέφεται όλο το game.
Λογικά θα αρχίσουν να έρχονται "αποκλειστικότητες" στο ps3 για αυτό το λόγο, τώρα που μεγαλώνει και η βάση του συστήματος.


----

Μια συνεργασία με μεγάλη εταιρία στην Κορέα για προσφορά ταινιών μέσο ps3.


PS3 to Debut as IPTV Set-Top Box (http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2007/10/123_11593.html)
KT, Korea's dominant telecom operator, and Sony Computer Entertainment Korea (SCEK) will launch an Internet-based TV service in November that runs on the PlayStation 3 game console, the companies said Tuesday.

The PS3 console will act as a set-top box for KT’s Internet Protocol TV service (IPTV), named Mega TV. The companies didn’t disclose the detailed price plans for the service.

IPTV is a high-definition TV broadcasting service that allows users to download programs via broadband Internet and play them on TVs at any time they want. KT and Hanaro Telecom are two IPTV providers in South Korea.

The PlayStation3 is a powerful computing machine itself, equipped with large data storage, fast graphic processor and a Blue-Ray disc driver. It is the first time that Sony has made such an alliance to use the PS3 as an IPTV set-top box.

``With this partnership, Mega TV will include high-definition games and Blue-Ray media in its periphery,’’ said Lee Young-hee, chief of the Media Center at KT. ``We will seek more cooperation with SCEK to create synergy.’’

The PlayStation series is the world’s best-selling video game platform. But the PS3 has been struggling in the U.S. and Japanese markets while its rival Nintendo is faring well with the cheaper Wii game machine.

Το monster hunter 3 της Capcom που είχε ανακοινωθεί ως exclusive για το ps3, πρόσφατα μεταπήδησε στο wii, ως exclusive για την κονσόλα της nintendo. Στα forums της Capcom ορισμένοι τα έχωσαν στην εταιρεία λέγοντας ότι χάνει fans με την συμπεριφορά της κτλπ. Και βγήκε ένας της εταιρείας και είπε το εξής : "Let's see how they feel at the end of next week about us" Οπότε ελπίζω να δούμε μια καλή ανακοίνωση. Όπως ένα Onimusha για το ps3 αποκλειστικά ή ένα καινούριο street fighter, κάτι καλό ρε παιδί μου... Το όλο σκηνικό έγινε πριν 2 μέρες. Τώρα πότε θα έρθει η ανακοίνωση δεν ξέρω, αλλά ανυπομονώ...

-Capcom is losing fans. They obviously don't care for their PS3-owner fans.

-Let's see how they feel at the end of next week about us.

Εκπρόσωπος της Sony ανακοίνωσε την επικείμενη κυκλοφορία ενός firmware update για το PS3, που θα βελτιώσει σημαντικά την υποστήριξη της κονσόλας στα χαρακτηριστικά διάδρασης που προσφέρει το Blu-ray. Συγκεκριμένα, ο Don Eklund, αντιπρόεδρος του τμήματος προηγμένων τεχνολογιών της Sony, έδωσε αυτήν τη υπόσχεση στο πλαίσιο του συνεδρίου HDTV DisplaySearch που διεξήχθη στην Καλιφόρνια. Δυστυχώς, όμως, δεν ανέφερε περισσότερες πληροφορίες για αυτήν την αναβάθμιση αφήνοντας όλους τους οπαδούς του PS3 να κάνουν υποθέσεις για το ποια θα είναι τα νέα χαρακτηριστικά διάδρασης που θα υποστηρίζονται από την κονσόλα.

Το Blu-ray Disc Association [η συμμαχία των εταιρειών που προωθούν το format] έχει ήδη επιβάλει την υποστήριξη της αναπαραγωγής video picture in picture σε όλους του Blu-ray players που θα κυκλοφορήσουν μετά τις 31 Οκτωβρίου, οπότε είναι πιθανό, η Sony απλά να προετοιμάζει την κατάσταση ώστε να διασφαλίσει ότι όλα τα PS3 που θα πουληθούν μετά την παραπάνω ημερομηνία, θα είναι συμβατά με τις προδιαγραφές του Blu-ray Disc Association.

Στο αντίπαλο στρατόπεδο [στον πόλεμο των formats των οπτικών μέσων νέας γενιάς], η Universal ανακοίνωσε update για τα HD DVDs, που αφορά στην προσθήκη χαρακτηριστικών online shopping, κατεβάσματος trailers και διαμοιρασμού clips μεταξύ των χρηστών.

178% αύξηση πωλήσεων του PS3 στη Μ. Βρετανία


Θετικό αντίκτυπο φαίνεται πως είχε στο αγοραστικό κοινό της Μεγάλης Βρετανίας η κίνηση της Sony να διαθέσει στην αγορά το νέο και φθηνότερο μοντέλο του PlayStation 3. Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία που έδωσε στη δημοσιότητα η υπηρεσία καταγραφής πωλήσεων Chart Track, οι πωλήσεις του PlayStation 3 σημείωσαν αύξηση της τάξεως του 178% σε σχέση με την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα στην εν λόγω αγορά, με αποτέλεσμα αυτή η εβδομάδα να είναι η τρίτη καλύτερη για το σύστημα της Sony από το λανσάρισμά του μέχρι σήμερα. Αυτή η ραγδαία αύξηση στις πωλήσεις του PlayStation 3, αλλά και σε αυτές των παιχνιδιών του (τα Resistance: Fall of a Man, Motorstorm και Heavenly Sword επέστρεψαν στο Top 20), το έφεραν μεν μπροστά από το Xbox 360, αλλά δεν κατάφεραν να το βοηθήσουν να ξεπεράσει τα Wii και DS της Nintendo, τα οποία συνεχίζουν να κρατούν την πρωτιά στην αγορά της Βρετανίας.

Lost Planet finds its way to PlayStation 3 in '08 (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/17/lost-planet-finds-its-way-to-playstation-3-in-08/)


After initially speculating (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/24/could-lost-planet-come-to-ps3/) that their frozen shooter Lost Planet could come to PS3, then stating (quite unequivocally (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/26/dead-rising-and-lost-planet-to-remain-xbox-360-exclusives/)) that neither Lost Planet nor Dead Rising would find their way to the Wii or PS3 (for reasons which, at that point, were apparently "quite convoluted"), Capcom has announced at their London Gamer's Day event that Lost Planet will indeed be on PS3 "early next year." A wise choice, considering the Xbox 360 shooter did quite well in North American but didn't make a dent in Japan (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/06/lost-planet-and-dead-rising-dont-break-100k-in-japan/) (... we wonder (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/japanesehardwaresales) why).

Games Radar says the PS3 package will sport 16-player online over PSN, as well as include "all bonus characters" from the PC version (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/13/its-official-lost-planet-finds-pc-gamers/) and "extra downloadable content" from the 360 version (apparently "made possible" by the platform's capacious Blu-ray format).

God of War 3 & Gears of War 2 έρχονται μέσα στο 2008?


Another month, another batch of rumors from EGM's Quatermann.

You know, even though Sony hasn't announced God of War 3 (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3157966), it's coming. In fact, it was already sort of announced (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157967). Anyway, the folks at SCEA Santa Monica are already hard at work at preparing Kratos' debut on PlayStation 3, which should arrive during the next holiday season, joined by a little something called Gears of War 2, as well. Oooh.


Epic Games and Microsoft haven't confirmed Gears of War 2 either, but the game's stellar sales (not to mention the cliffhanger ending) is confirmation enough.


A little out of left field, however, is news of Sega reviving Skies of Arcadia (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3130419). The sky pirate RPG was criminally overlooked, despite releases on both Dreamcast and GameCube, but apparently Sega been quietly preparing a sequel to the swashbuckling adventure.


The latest issue of EGM, featuring Ninja Gaiden 2 on the cover, arrives in subscriber hands this week. Πηγή: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3163790

Sega confirms Golden Axe is still on track for PS3


http://www.n4g.com/M/8/News/75000/75821_hs.jpg Recent reports from Xboxygen.com and Kotaku.com, have led people to believe that Golden Axe: Beast Rider had become an Xbox 360 exclusive. However this is not the case.

PSU.com has contacted Sega directly and received word that Secret Level is working on both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 version.

When asked if Secret Level had dropped the PS3 version of Golden Axe, Sega's Danny Chiu responded stating, "Not true, it's coming to PS3 as well."

So that should clear things up, everyone can expect both a PS3 version and Xbox 360 version next year when the game hits stores late in 2008.

Warhawk and fl0w expanding in December

Expansions are coming for popular Playstation Network titles fl0w and Warhawk, according to Game Informer magazine. Firing Squad reports that a recent issue of the magazine reveals expansions in development for both downloadable titles, with planned releases in December.

The Warhawk expansion will introduce a dropship into the game, which can pick up and relocate ground vehicles. The fl0w expansion, meanwhile, will add a multiplayer mode to the abstract game, as well as a new playable creature. While expansions for Warhawk are a no-brainer, it remains to be seen how typical downloadable content will fit in with the incredibly atypical fl0w.

Blu-Ray outselling HD DVD 9:1 in Japan


小塚:去年のCEATECでもBDAブースで記者会見をやりましたが、各社の代表者が一言ずつ言うだけでは あまり報道されないわけです。製品も発表も多いのに。CESやIFAではBDAのスポークスマンがBDの概 況を記者会見で報告するので、大きく報道されますが。
 そこで日本でも記者会見を開き、しっかり説明をしようということになりました。客観的な事実 に基づいて、 状況を正しく伝えるために「全部調査会社のデータに基づいてやりましょう」、ということにしたんです。実際 、我々の不満は、マーケティングデータでは 「9:1」なのに、記事ではなぜか「五分五分」のように書かれてしまうということでしたから。だから、まず は「9:1」であることを十分理解してもらえる ようなプレゼンテーションをしよう、と。
 そこで「多少インパクトがないと記事にはしてもらえない」ということで、かなり刺激的に例の発言したんで す。反響の大きさから言い過ぎたかな、とは思いますが。


Πιστευω να εγινα κατανοητος :p LoL


There were informal reports about Blu-ray sales in Japan from various articles but for the first time Panasonic has revealed their true reasons to go with Blu-Ray.Expect Blu-ray sales to be much higher from November when the low priced version of white ps3 hits Japan .

Original Tile reads ;-

"¦ ?9:1???????
HD DVD?BD??????????????"

which is translated as :-

" * Emphasizing "9:1" present conditions
As for HD DVD opposite BD "part house" opposite "home appliance house"? "

Epic Games Claims Mortal Kombat 8 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC?


Epic Games (http://www.epicgames.com/), the creators of the Unreal Engine 3 which Mortal Kombat series creator Ed Boon has stated the next game in the series will make use of, has add the tentatively titled "Mortal Kombat 8" to their upcoming games listing. According to this information, the game is being developed for Sony's Playstation 3 console as well as Microsoft's Xbox 360. However, the site also says the game is in development for the PC, a platform which the Mortal Kombat series has been absent from for a number of years. Many fans have requested a PC version of previous games to no avail, but it seems possible Midway may finally deliver.
It is important to keep in mind that while the site is owned by Epic Games, nothing is confirmed at this time. Midway officially has no comment on this matter at this time. We will be sure to keep you informed when or if this changes.
