The internal technology teams at Sony Computer Entertainment have teamed up to deliver PlayStation 3 Edge, a new set of tools for developers working on the format-holder's new console. Due for imminent release to PS3 developers, PlayStation 3 Edge has been put together by three first-party technology teams within Sony, the WWS Europe Advanced Technology Group, WWS America ICE team (a technology group based at Naughty Dog that specialises in graphics systems and tools for the PlayStation 3), and WWS America Tools and Technology group.
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.
XBOX better tie them shoes and start running fast, cause PS3 only needs one lap to get him.. and after that the only thing the xbox is going to see is the smoke...
Is Great to read articles about the PS3 doing good and getting devs what they need to exploit the machine power.. Things are coming together PATIENCE my friends PATIENCE..

This is good news for developers and gamers a like but I don't see why you have to babble about 360! DO some of you people honestly believe that the PS3 will have far superior graphics than the 360? I believe both systems will have nice looking games but this so called power the PS3 has is going way over board because both system have a lot more potential and not just the system of your choice!
PS3 devs are making a Lot of progress, and the creation of both the worldwide studio system and dedicated technology groups within SCEI means that they want to push the PS3 hardware faster and harder than any other playstation console. They want to get year-5 tech by year-2.
The cat came out the bag quite early on that one, this is linked directly with Phil's keynote speach. Basically Sony's made a set of tools for 3rd party dev's to push the hardware like Sony's inhouse is doing...
This is great news for the industry all around because it's going to make developing games for PS3 alot easyer and help to iron out complaints you have heard from dev's, then the major factor being making games look like they should on PS3 when the codes optimized...
can't wait to devs stop complaining though, doubt it'll happen anytime soon.
