Take even greater advantage of the synergistic processing elements (SPEs) of the Sony® PLAYSTATION® 3 (PS3) in this installment of Programming high-performance applications on the Cell BE processor. Part 1 showed how to install Linux® on the PS3 and explored a short example program. Part 2 looks in depth at the Cell Broadband Engine processor's SPEs and how they work at the lowest level.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Oh, I get it. Its all so simple. Can't wait to get home and start making my own games......No seriously, I'm glad I'm just on the consumer end of the games industry, although if any devs out there need a playtester I'd be awesome. Thats what I'm good at, taking someone elses work and telling them what wrong with it. ;)
Yeah dude, once I took a programming class I suddenly got respect for even the crappy devs. =P
Yep its real easy for us to complain about every little thing but sometimes you need a different perspective to humble you a bit. We forget not only are these guys doing a technically difficult job, but they are artists as well and taste is subjective, as is when it comes to taste, there is no right or wrong, only opinion.
Me, I've never complained once about load times on a modern console because I had a Commodore 64 with a Tape deck. It took so long and and was so touchy, sometimes you had to actually leave the room to get a game to load I swear to God. If you poked your head in the door too early it would crash.
Load"*",8,1 AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!
Ha, I used to write my own "Choose your own adventure" stories where you'd read the text and choose A, B or C or whatever. Pushing the corresponding key would go straight to the next story segment WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO PUSH "ENTER". Man I though I was so clever. Ha.
Remeber, there's no school like the old school, and someone please bring back The Last Ninja, but only if you make it good. Otherwise just leave it alone.
The Amiga 500 was the real next gen after c64. I loved it to death, till my 2nd one stopped workign and i washed it with water to see if it was the dust which was the problem. But alas the unit was as dead as king tut
