"The bad news just keeps on coming for Blu-ray. First, Sony halved its U.S./Japanese launch shipments of its Blu-ray powered PlayStation 3, blaming a shortage of blue lasers. Then, in the last two weeks, both Sony and Pioneer delayed the releases of their new Blu-ray players, refusing to cite reasons. And this week, at Blu-ray backer LG's annual dealer show, a previously announced LG Blu-ray player was nowhere to be found. LG product development director Tim Alessi had this to say: 'we will provide an announcement when the time is right.'"
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
No doubt up to something they probly found out some future HD-DVD models new feature's. They already coping the customization movie feature's only god knows what else.
What if the BR format is just working like sh!t?!
Damn I would crap the hell out of my pants if I would have pre-ordered a PS3 with a BR drive in it...
...why do you both have to be so negative?
TheMART- you don't have to take every opportunity to mock Sony fans.
Paul Cerula- why do you always have to defend Sony? If the past is any indication of the future, TheMART may be right, the PS3 may be looked at as a BetaMax player in the near future.
I think basically there is a blue diode shortage with sony needing them for ps3 and microsoft needing them for the HD-DVD drives.
I think the Blu-ray group basically said they'll hold off so sony can get all the blue diodes. Basically blu-rays fate rests with sony and the ps3. PS3 flops then so does blu-ray.
Microsoft, who knows what they did but their drives are sold out and so they have supply troubles as well with the HD-DVD drive.
Its got the celeron of cells, a cheap blu-ray drive, and runs off of custom linux os, what a turd!!!
