Lair: 100.000 - 170.000 polygons per model! realtime on PS3

 

The thing most people probably came for, though, was the dragons. Worch had little to say about the actual game he has been working on – now titled Lair – though he used the models all throughout the lecture. One of the key models was a maquette (built by Peter Konig at Massive Black, the man behind the Dragonheart models); another, a digital render. The final version used in the game, Worch said, was a blend of the best parts from each: a practical body and limbs, and a digital head, tail, and wings.

 

He played a recent extremely high-resolution trailer in real-time, occasionally pausing to swing the camera around or turn on or off various effects. To be fair, the scene in question was clearly a cut-scene, calculated to show off just how many polygons the PS3 can throw around; it's still a lot of polygons, though.

 

Each model, Worch claimed, contained somewhere between 100,000 and 170,000 triangles. Each had a bunch of other special maps and lighting applied, and the main character was built up with "over ten textures". He compared this to an estimated 10,000 for characters in Gears of War and other recent high-res games. The high-res models, meanwhile, that got dithered down to produce the in-game models, ran up around 5,000,000 triangles.

Sony online announcement set for 360 launch?

 

According to the November issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (#197), Sony may be waiting until “right before the Xbox 360 goes on sale this November” to “unveil its grand online plans (including user transactions, multimedia functions, and a bunch of other fancy-schmancy features).”

 

If true, the announcement may come later than next week’s PS3 entertainment festival, but it would certainly be used as another means to parry the arrival of the 360 in many parts of the world. Sony has apparently already confirmed a comparable service back at E3, but further details have been hard to come by.

 

Sony’s been dragging its feet for a while now with an excuse that it wants a unified online service to cover not only the PS3, but the PSP (and possibly PS2) as well. We’ll have to wait and see whether Sony pulls out its own Gamertags and Live-like Blades in any new service, however.

PS3Today.com and PS3Focus.com have reported a recent Japanese article about PS3 developer support, which has an insider source claiming that the initial investment for PS3 software development it at least ¥2 billion (U$S 17.6 million), and that figure does not include the actual development costs associated directly with the title.

 

This initial investment, according to this insider source, is "nothing but a nightmare for many Japanese software development companies."

 

 

The article also reveals that the prevailing rumor in Japanese game development circles is that many companies may end up developing for the Xbox 360, which will lower R&D costs since the system shares many similarities with Windows game development, allowing developers to release a single title on both platforms.

 

Could Sonyʼs ambitious plans for the PlayStation 3 scare small game developers away and push them to towards Xbox 360 development? Only time will tell…

H gnomh toy Kazunori Yamauchi dhmioyrgoy toy Gran Turismo, gia to PS3

 

The PlayStation 3 will represent "the beginning of a world, different to that of what we have called "games" up to today" according to Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi.

 

"The PlayStation 3 is the first piece of hardware allowing photo-realistic computer graphics," offered Kazza in a special 10th anniversary Q&A sent over today "and is the first game hardware that can perform calculations for physics simulation to the level of our satisfaction.

 

"With a matrix of such elements, a new world of entertainment is about to unfold," he reckons, and went on to say "PlayStation is not just a platform, it's a movement," in a rare 'Zen of gaming'-esque moment to rival Microsoft's Peter Moore's wibblings at E3 this year.

 

In a slightly saner outburst, Uncle Kaz reckoned that the future of gaming "shift away from packaged products, to service via network.

 

"This will vary from casual and open loosely coupled services, to more tightly coupled services for MMORPGs," he added.
