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.
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
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..
PARDON MY ENGLISH
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.
