Σύμφωνα λοιπόν με τις δηλώσεις του Harisson, η Sony δεν είναι σε θέση να εγγυηθεί την κυκλοφορία του PlayStation 3 στην Ευρώπη το Μάρτιο του 2007! Όπως ανέφερε ο Harisson, μετά την αδυναμία της εταιρείας του να τηρήσει τις υποσχέσεις της για ταυτόχρονο παγκόσμιο λανσάρισμα της νέας κονσόλας, δεν μπορεί αυτή τη στιγμή να εγγυηθεί για τίποτα, εκτός του ότι ορισμένοι πολύ έξυπνοι άνθρωποι εργάζονται σκληρά για να καταφέρει η Sony να έχει τα απαραίτητα αποθέματα PS3 ώστε να το διαθέσει και στη Γηραιά Ήπειρο. Φαίνεται λοιπόν ότι οι φήμες που κυκλοφορούσαν τελευταία και όλοι ψιθύριζαν, τελικά δεν ήταν ανυπόστατες. Θα εξελιχθεί το λανσάρισμα του PlayStation 3 σε αντιγραφή αυτού του PSP, το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε αρχικά σε Αμερική και Ιαπωνία τα Χριστούγεννα του 2004 και ήρθε στην Ευρώπη τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2005; Αυτή τη στιγμή κανείς δεν είναι σε θέση να δώσει μια σαφή απάντηση, ωστόσο, το γεγονός πως το σενάριο "παίζει", μόνο αρνητικά συναισθήματα δημιουργεί στους Ευρωπαίους καταναλωτές.

Izumi Kawanishi New Interview

 

+ Using XMB and web browsing won't spin the fan. Playing Blu-ray will spin the fan, but the load is still low especially for early MPEG2 titles. The fan spins steadily while gaming.

+ The picture/audio quality for video playback is excellent. Though Cell does not do much postprocessing right now, they are doing research for it.

+ TrueHD is converted to LPCM and outputted via HDMI.

+ No DVD upscaling for the time being. But they are looking at user needs and have a plan for the support.

+ The Blu-ray player response is very quick. The interviewer says he felt it's the fastest among Toshiba, Sony, Matsushita HD players/recorders he tested.

+ Some contents holders say the speed of BD-Java in the PS3 is the fastest.

+ By pressing the triangle button the XMB shows the folder tree structure as is just like Windows Explorer.

+ It can connect with USB mass-storage devices such as PSP, but not with ones with special transfer methods such as iPod and Walkman. They are collaborating with the Walkman unit for some interaction in the future.

+ It's decided that the RSX clock stays undisclosed

+ The EE+GS embedded in the PS3 does emulation for PS1/PS2 for initial shipments PS3, so no graphics upgrade for the time being. The software emulation technology is almost complete but not ready for the launch. As soon as it becomes complete EE+GS is removed from future units.

+ In Remote Play with PSP for the 60GB version, the PS3 resolution becomes 480p (16:9) and converts the screen to MPEG-4 Simple Profile at around 1Mbps to send it to the PSP. All control is transferred to the PSP and you can control the PS3 by pressing the PSP buttons. BD/DVD and other copyright-protected materials can't be sent. As for games the support will come in the near future.

+ Downloaded PS1 games are transferred from a PS3 to a PSP by a USB cable. PLAYSTATION TV (the demo kiosk) starts the download service too.

+ The web browser can open up to 6 pages simultaneously. 64MB memory is always reserved for the browser, the instant messenger and other XMB OS activity even while in game.

+ Installing Linux creates a new HDD partition separately from the PS3 partition. After the setup, you can select which system to use at the boot menu. You can choose to auto-boot Linux too.

+ Aside from Linux, SCE's developers are still seeking the way to publish proper software development environment for the PS3 main OS and PSP for general users. But right now the PS3 main OS can run only signed applications (while PS3 Linux can run whatever applications on it).

Valve presentation on how to multithread a game engine

 

As far as console hardware goes, the engine is already running on Xbox 360, with support for six simultaneous threads. The PC platform and Xbox 360 are apparently close enough that getting the software to run on both of them does not require a lot of extra effort. PS3 on the other hand.... The potential to support PS3 is definitely there, but it doesn't sound like Valve has devoted any serious effort into this platform as of yet. Given that the hardware isn't available for consumer purchase yet, that might make sense.

The PS3 Cell processor does add some additional problems in terms of multithreading support. First, unlike Xbox 360 and PC processors, the processor cores available in Cell are not all equivalent. That means they will have to spend additional effort making sure that the software is aware of what cores can do what sort of tasks best (or at all as the case may be). Another problem that Cell creates is that there's not a coherent view of memory. Each core has its own dedicated high-speed local memory, so all of that has to be managed along with worrying about threading and execution capabilities. Basically, PS3/Cell takes the problems inherent with multithreading and adds a few more, so getting optimal utilization of the Cell processor is going to be even more difficult.

τρελο κι απαραδεκτο το ΨΕΜΑ που εχω κανει BOLD!!!

 

 

ο σουπερ-χοντρος αρχηγος της Valve, o gabe newell, απο περσι εχει δηλωσει (εν μεσω βρισιδιων και χριστοπαναγιων) οτι το ps3 του μαμησε το προγραμμα σαν εταιρεια,

γιατι αναγκαστικα εχει ριξει τους καλυτερους senior programmers του ΟΛΟΥΣ πανω στο ps3.

κανονικα καθε ενας senior μπορουσε να τρεχει κι απο ενα ξεχωριστο project για την εταιρεια, αλλα επειδη το ps3 ειναι τοσο δυστροπο και με το που αγγιζει τον κωδικα ενας junior dev, o κωδικας γινεται αχταρμας, και οχι μονο δεν δουλευει τιποτα, αλλα χρειαζεται και full debugging ωστε να βρουνε που επηρεαστηκε και τι απο την παραμικρη αλλαγη,

ο gabe εχει βαλει μονο τους καλυτερους και πιο εμπειρους του να βγαζουνε τα ματια τους.

 

επειδη το ps3 ειναι μανικι, αυτο δεν παει να πει οτι ο gabe newell και η valve ειχανε βγαλει τα ξυναρια τους και ξυνονταν τοσο καιρο!!!

απαραδεκτος ο αρθρογραφος!!

 

 

ΑΛΛΩΣΤΕ, το γεγονος οτι δεν υπαρχει στο εμποριο για το 360 αυτη τη στιγμη που μιλαμε το <<χρυσο πακετο>> half life 2 + episodes + portal + team fortress

οφειλεται αποκλειστικα στο οτι ο gabe αποφασισε να βγει ταυτοχρονα το πακετο του για 360 και ps3, και ετσι πηρε αναβολη μεχρι την ανοιξη. :evil:

απλα ελπιζω αν παρει κι αλλη αναβολη λογω ps3, να βγει στο 360 κανονικα, αλλιως θα αρχισει να μου τη δινει λιγο η λογικη του "equality"

 

 

να και ενα απο τα πολλα quates του gabe newell, (το συγκεκριμενο ειναι πριν 14+ μηνες(!!), sept'05 ), σχετικα με το ps3:

 

"There are incredibly few programmers who can safely write code in the PlayStation 3 environment.

And I totally see why Sony wants people to write code that runs on seven SPEs and a central processing unit' date='

because that code is never going to run well anywhere else.

They're saying, "Make your code not run on anything but one of our machines,

and we're betting that we'll have market share that's so high

that everybody will have to write for our platform.

We'll just starve the air from the other platforms by absorbing everybody'd R&D budget

and making their code less portable."[/quote']

Η Sony δεν εγγυάται κυκλοφορία του PS3 το Μάρτιο!

 

Μετά την ακύρωση της κυκλοφορίας του PlayStation 3 στην Ευρώπη εντός του 2006 όπως αρχικά είχε υποσχεθεί η Sony, κανείς δεν ξέρει πια τι να περιμένει από τον ιαπωνικό κολοσσό. Και ενώ τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες διάφορες πολύ άσχημες φήμες έκαναν την εμφάνισή τους στα δημοσιογραφικά γραφεία, μια συνέντευξη του προέδρου των SCE Worldwide Studios, Phil Harisson, στο Official PlayStation Magazine, έρχεται για να ρίξει λάδι στη φωτιά. Σύμφωνα λοιπόν με τις δηλώσεις του Harisson, η Sony δεν είναι σε θέση να εγγυηθεί την κυκλοφορία του PlayStation 3 στην Ευρώπη το Μάρτιο του 2007! Όπως ανέφερε ο Harisson, μετά την αδυναμία της εταιρείας του να τηρήσει τις υποσχέσεις της για ταυτόχρονο παγκόσμιο λανσάρισμα της νέας κονσόλας, δεν μπορεί αυτή τη στιγμή να εγγυηθεί για τίποτα, εκτός του ότι ορισμένοι πολύ έξυπνοι άνθρωποι εργάζονται σκληρά για να καταφέρει η Sony να έχει τα απαραίτητα αποθέματα PS3 ώστε να το διαθέσει και στη Γηραιά Ήπειρο.

Tony Hawk's Project 8

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/tonyhawksproject8/review.html

Score: 7.3

(XBOX 360 Score: 7.9 )

 

Those frame-rate problems hit the PlayStation 3 version of the game significantly harder than the Xbox 360.

 

Tα ίδια και από το IGN.

 

Tony Hawk's Project 8 Review (PS3)

 

Score: 7.0 (συνήθως βαθμολογεί πιό ψηλά από το GameSpot).

 

Closing Comments

It's certainly disappointing that the PlayStation 3 is so far behind the Xbox 360 game. Framerate issues are apparent at every other turn, and the lack of online play really hurts. Project 8 is a worthy game to pick up, just preferably not on this system.

Should you buy a PlayStation 3?

 

Last week I was flicking through one of those rubbish free newspapers they've been jamming into my hands at the Tube station recently, and I came across a review of PlayStation 3. A review of a console. It advised me to wait until March and buy one, because the graphics look like real life and it's got a Blu-ray drive.

 

Comical, yes, but then what are the real arguments for buying one? There must be some. After all, people are complaining that there will only be 400,000 at the US launch and 80,000 in Japan - not that there's no point putting it on the market.

 

 

Well, first of all there's "faith". Yes - faith in Sony. Hard to imagine. But some people are just "Sony people". There was a chap in my house, earlier, fixing my boiler, who actually bowed down when he saw the PS3 debug perched on my desk. Yes I realise this is convenient, and I warned him he was making my editorial sound rubbish and unconvincing, but he was still amazed when I showed him Ridge Racer 7.

 

He didn't care about Xbox. There was a copy of Gears of War on my screen most of the time he was here and he didn't bat an eyelid. Absolute loony. And he didn't make a single comment about Cell, Blu-ray or price. As far as I could work out, he was more interested in an R-Type sequel that doesn't exist than Resistance: Fall of Man.

 

So we should perhaps qualify that as "blind faith", or simply "support". This isn't faith based on Sony's arguments. This isn't the sort of faith Kieron had to ponder with Neverwinter Nights 2 (do you review what's in the box, or base your conclusions on the promise of the tools?). This is more like supporting a football team - loving them through highs and lows. And there's nothing wrong with this. (Well, there is - but my friend from earlier did sort out the central heating, so let's tolerate his ways for today.)

 

But there's another sort of faith: faith in formats as a whole. A friend of mine posted bewilderedly on his blog around the time of the Xbox 360 launch demanding to know why people were whinging about it. He loved Project Gotham Racing, he said, and would inevitably want other games later on, so why not just do it now? Why the drama? Why does all the pre-release debate take on a religious level of fervency and factious quarrelling, he pondered? (Ineloquently, of course - I think I've missed out some "ZOMG" in my paraphrasing.)

 

And so I suppose that these are the best arguments that exist for buying a PlayStation 3 as soon as you can. It's not about what's in the box (logically enough, since without games and films it's just a shiny Darth Vader's lozenge that eats up your electricity bill), and it's only partly about what's on the launch line-up (Resistance may yet turn out to be brilliant, but so good you'd buy the console?). It's about knowing you'll want one later, and choosing to buy one now because it's shiny, it's new, and it's going to end up with lots of things you want later by default. Or it's because you're a demented zealot. But certainly, in both cases, it's because you can rationalise it on the promise of what's to come, and not on the evidence of what's in front of you.

 

All of which is a handy conclusion, tangentially, because I definitely didn't want to get into one of those sociological debates about what 425 quid is worth. Imagine how painful that would've been! Say all you want about writing tricky game reviews, but at least there you can assume the reader's already endorsed the cost and not have to spend half an hour pondering everyone's price-of-a-pint-of-milk. Phew.

 

Us? I tried to import one, but even Ridge Racer 7 didn't seem to be worth paying £500 for (it was a close one, mind you - I paid a pretty ridiculous amount for a PSP and Ridge Racers in December 2004). Rob tells me that he expects to buy a European one by next Christmas, Kristan says he'll blag one off Sony, Pat doesn't understand why someone would give people money instead of asking for it in exchange for ad-space, and Ellie's in Canada and ignoring my text messages.

 

One position with which we'll all be consistent, of course, is that of continuing to review games from a multi-format perspective. And it's really that which we lured you here to say. Because it's important. Of course it's important that you're informed about how Gears of War relates to Halo, but it's also important to know how Resistance relates to Gears of War. From our perspective, it would be jolly nice if you could get around to buying all the consoles one day - yes, even the PlayStation 3 - because then you're more likely to read more of our content. But we'll forgive you if you don't. After all, you might be sane.

 

And with that, I'm off to look for more COG tags. At least until MotorStorm turns up.
