gamespy επισημα - xfire.. ανεπισημα.

τουρλουμπουκι προς το παρον δηλαδη...

 

η sony εχει δηλωσει επισημα συνεργασια με το gamespy.

χωρις να μαθουμε τιποτα τοσο καιρο για αυτο, τωρα ακουγεται ανεπισημα το xfire..

 

τι μπορει να συμβαινει?

το "απο κατω" μερος του online να το διαχειριζεται το gamespy, και το "απο πανω" (user inteface) να παει προς xfire μερια?

 

να ατυχησε το gamespy και να κοιτανε προς xfire σκετο?

και ποσες διαφημισεις θα εχει το xfire στο ps3?

 

και οι servers ποιανου θα ειναι? της καθε εταιρειας? γιατι το xfire δεν εχει servers..

 

θα υπαρχει αραγε ενα και μοναδικο login για ολα τα online games?

θα υπαρχει κοινο Interface ή καθε τιτλος θα κανει τα δικα του?

και θα πληρωνεις (οταν πληρωνεις) σε διαφορετικους λογαριασμους καθε φορα?

σε ποσους διαφορετικους servers θα μοιραζονται τα στοιχεια σου και οι πιστωτικες σου καρτες?

πως και ποτε θα δουλεψει αυτο το πραγμα?

 

το xfire ειναι στα pc μια καλη περιπτωση (τουλαχιστον μεχρι την ελευση του "live anywhere" ), αλλα δεν ειμαι τοσο σιγουρος για την ενσωματωση του στο ps3.

 

 

παντως αυτα δεν ειναι και Νέα ουσιαστικα, μιας και το CNN ειχε μια συνεντευξη το μηνα φεβρουαριο στην οποια δεν ειπανε τιποτα λιγοτερο και τιποτα περισσοτερο απο αυτα που λεει σημερα (χτες) το 1up.

The company's (Xfire) aims to expand onto other platforms, including console games -- it is working on something for the PlayStation 3 -- and cellphones.

On behalf of Sony Online Entertainment, Kramer attempts to clarify the earnings report's statement: "SOE has been in talks with Xfire about potentially including some of their technology in Untold Legends Dark Kingdom, our PlayStation 3 launch title. This proposed deal is completely separate and independent from the PlayStation Network Platform, and is something that SOE was examining specifically for Dark Kingdom. More information on Xfire and Dark Kingdom will be coming soon."

 

UPDATE II: Sony Computer Entertainment America responded to the below report with the following statement: "We can confirm that Sonly Online Entertainment is in talks with Viacom and Xfire for a single, specific PS3 game. However, there are no announcements at this time regarding any discussions between SCEA, Viacom and Xfire."

It is odd that there are no announcements regarding discussions between the three companies, especially since Viacom essentially announced that Xfire was creating a version of its software for use in the PS3 in its Q2 financial report.

Αληθεύει ότι το ps3 θα έχει ένα cd linux στο πακέτο μέσα για όποιν θέλει να κάνει pc το ps3 του; (έλεος τα rumors συνεχίζονται απο το ps2!!!)

 

Ήμουν φανατικός σονακιας, αλλά με τα κομμάτια απο το ps2 που έκανε η $ony (βλ. σκληροί δίσκοι, linux κτλ που μόνο απο thierd party εξαρτήματα γινόταν κάτι) και με τις λαλακιες με το ps3 + του ότι είναι πανάκριβο, με βλέπω για 360+wii

 

Άν όμως ισχύουν τα rumors για το ps3+linux τότε ψήνομαι τρελά να δώσω το 600€υρω!!!!

PS3 Controller Named SIXAXIS?

They can't call it Dual Shock anymore, can they?

 

 

Sony's PS3 controller can't be called the Dual Shock 3 if it doesn't rumble, so what's the company to do? Rename their controller.

 

A 1UP user passed along the suggestion that we check the patent records for the name 'Sixaxis' and see what turned up. Scanning the trademark's text it's clear that this could be any number of things (see image above).

 

However, the term "six axis" has appeared frequently in Sony PR, including multiple times in the May 8, 2006 announcement of the controller's motion sensing functionality:

 

The controller for PS3 employs breakthrough technology of high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that does not require any devices other than the controller itself for seamless interactive operation, thus eliminating additional settings to TVs. With this technology, ways to enjoy PS3 will be further enhanced by accessing PS3 through the network, while retaining the six-axis sensing capability.

 

So is this palindrome Sony's name for the PS3 controller? Representatives from Sony Computer Entertainment America told 1UP, "We haven't yet announced the name of the controller." But next week at TGS if you see Ken Kutaragi holding up a PS3 controller with a power point slide that reads "SIXAXIS" behind him, don't be surprised.

Activision exec prices PS3 games

CEO says all of the company's games for Sony's new console will fetch $60 at first; reveals Spider-Man 3's $35 million price tag.

 

The price of next-gen console games was a hot issue last year when the bulk of Xbox 360 launch titles carried a $60 price tag. This week, Activision CEO Robert Kotick confirmed what many gamers already expected or even assumed: the company's PlayStation 3 games will retail for roughly $60.

 

In a presentation to the Merrill Lynch Media and Entertainment Conference yesterday, Kotick indicated that the company is taking a next-gen pricing approach to its next-gen software, thanks in part to its success pricing PlayStation Portable games at $50, and Xbox 360 software like the best-selling Call of Duty 2 at $60.

 

"We have not seen a lot of consumer resistance at the higher price points and we expect that all of our next-generation products will be launched at $60 price points," Kotick said.

 

On the surface that would suggest $60 Wii games from the company, but an Activision representative confirmed for GameSpot that Kotick was only referring to PS3 and Xbox 360 games. In fact, the publisher's Activision Value label is already preparing a pair of Wii launch titles: Rapala Tournament Fishing and World Series of Poker.

 

Since the Xbox 360 launched last year, some publishers have defended the $59.99 standard price for next-gen releases by citing the increased development costs associated with the new platforms. While Kotick did not bring the example up specifically in relation to the company's pricing strategy on games, he did mention that Spider-Man 3 has cost the company more than $35 million to develop on all formats. He did not specify on which consoles the game would appear."

 

"That is the most expensive product that we've created, and for good reason," Kotick said. "You'll see how much it really takes advantage of the assets and the capabilities of the hardware."

EA exec says PS3 dev on track

Publisher's CFO says development of games for Sony's new console is further along than last year's batch of Xbox 360 launch titles.

 

In a presentation at the Merril Lynch Media and Entertainment Conference this morning, Electronic Arts chief financial officer Warren Jenson talked to investors about the changing face of the game industry and how EA intends to position itself to succeed in the future.

 

Jenson laid out five changes in the industry that EA is looking to adapt to: increased online connectivity, more mobile gaming (including cell-phone gaming, handhelds, and now iPods), growth in user-generated content, the increasingly global development marketplace, and the transition to next-gen consoles.

 

In a postpresentation Q&A session, Jenson was asked to give an update on how the publisher's PlayStation 3 launch titles were shaping up relative to its Xbox 360 launch efforts from last year.

 

"We feel real good about where we are," Jenson said. "Relative to where we were with the Xbox [360], we're further along, but we're developing for a more complicated machine." Jenson's comments were likely in reference to the PlayStation 3's powerful central Cell processor, codeveloped by IBM and Toshiba, and its RSX graphics chip, designed by Nvidia.

 

Jenson isn't the only one feeling good about where EA is in regards to the PS3 launch. In a report on the industry's holiday outlook today, UBS Investments Research analyst Michael Wallace said the publisher was better suited to take advantage of the PS3 launch than its competitors.

 

"Of all the third parties, EA will have the most exposure to the PS3 launch in terms of its number of titles available," Wallace said, "but we feel it would be hurt less from a PS3 shortfall than other companies (i.e., Activision) would be, given that EA will have a more balanced lineup targeting both current-generation and next-generation platforms over the next two quarters."
