By BLazeD on 07-29-2004 An article at TotalVideoGames has highlighted that the Sony PS3 may use OpenGL. This is of course the opposite standard to that of Microsoft - Direct3D [quote] To date Sony has used proprietary APIs that have changed with each generation; however a standard API would seem to make sense, considering that the CELL processor is likely to feature across a wide selection of products and future Playstation models. The move would also likely please developers who’ve found developing on the highly specialised Playstation2 taxing to say the least; whilst many have labelled it as a reactive decision to Microsoft’s plans to create XNA – a unified graphics development environment that allows developers to easily create games for the PC and Xbox products. Naturally this is speculation at this stage, with no official announcement yet to come from Sony; however this is certainly an interesting development in the next-gen conflict and we’ll have more information soon.

[quote] Company president Ken Kutaragi outlined a schedule for the system in a speech given during the conference. SCE would like to unveil the system, referred to in slides as "Next System," at a premier party to take place some time in fiscal year 2004 (prior to April 2005). This will be followed by showings at next year's E3 and Tokyo Game Show events where Kutaragi hopes to have many titles playable. Details on actual development for the system were also unveiled. Kutaragi stated that he'd like to have "Version 1" of development materials out in the early part of fiscal 2005, with "Version 2" to follow in the latter half.

Although they are not official, they will most likely make up some of the "Bread and Butter" of the Playstation 3 line up. - Dark Sector - Half-Life 2 - Medal of Honor - Need for Speed - Spider-Man 3 New PS3 Details, Memory and Cost Issues Arise By BLazeD on 07-12-2004 Spong has posted an article outlining reports that the PS3 will likely ship with 256MB XDR DRAM as opposed to 512MB. While this will give increased bandwidth, is an ulterior motive also to save on cots? [quote] If the PS3 does make an appearance at E3 2005, as promised by Kuturagi, it is likely to be with reduced memory, according to news filtering through from the Rambus Developer Conference in Japan. Reports from PC Watch have suggested that Sony is replacing the 512 MB XDR DRAM chip originally planned for inclusion with a smaller 256 MB XDR DRAM chip. There could be several feasible explanations for this move, but Sony has declined to offer a full response as yet. Optimistic onlookers could - and have - suggested that the reduced capacity of the DRAM chip is because the PS3’s memory bandwidth will be increased from 25.6 GB/Sec to 51.2 GB/Sec. This would mean that the Cell chip takes on more of the work, permitting this budget-friendly memory reduction.

By Chris McCarty on 11-25-2003 Recently, Phil Harrison, vice president for SCEE spoke with the Australian Financial Review. He told them that Sony is currently investigating motion sensing technology, hoping to implement it into the new PS3 console. The EyeToy, a motion-sensing digital camera, has been used as an early test for this technology. Harrison stated, “EyeToy was a signpost for things in the future. If you can attach very high-resolution, low-cost video cameras you can deduce some quite interesting things about their users. We'll be able to extrapolate eye movement and gestural recognition, more complicated finger movement, and the logical next step of that is to deduce from a person's facial expression and demeanor what their emotion state is.” He later discussed more possibilities for the motion sensing, such as menus that could be controlled by moving your hand. He compared it to the computers in Minority Report. Because the technology is only in the beginning spaces, it may not be seen in the PS3. There may not be enough time for Sony to have motion-sensing part of the PS3, but Harrison wants it. Personally, I think this is the best idea so far. It would be so amazing to be able to play games without any controllers. Maybe gamers could actually move their legs to walk, and fight each other by moving. I can’t wait until I hear more information on this technology. GamerFeed Article Koei Creates for PS3 By Chris McCarty on 11-19-2003 Today, Koei, the publishers of the Dynasty Warriors and Kessen series have announced that there are working on a few games for the PS3 and a few more for PSP. They have revealed no information on the games they will be working on, but it is still early in the process. We can assume that Dynasty Warriors will appear because it has been very successful. As always, when more information is released, we will let you know. Until then, peace.

Very Interesting....
