In early March Sony made some waves saying the PS3 is hard to develop for on purpose. In the last days news surrounding new tools for PS3 developers have appeared. We already reported about the NVIDIA PhysX engine available now on the PS3.
Now Sony is further enhancing its support for developers with the introduction of new Reference Tool models in March 2009, DECR-1400A for North America and Europe/PAL territories at US $2,000 and €1,700 respectively, and DECR-1400J for Japan at JPY 200,000.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
This means that If I and a few of my buddies got into development we could spend 2000 dollars on a developers kit (really cheap) then spend about6 months or so (estimate) making a little PSN game have about a 10-12 man team sounds like something to do and make pretty good money off of. :) I wanna make video games when I'm done with school.
Devs now have no excuse to say its hard to make games for the PS3. But DANM!!! 2G's for the Kit? Im getting one ASAP
yep, Cheaper Dev kit= More games to look foward to by developers who can finally afford to get one, not to mention tools that makes developing on the PS3 easier than ever before.
$10,250 to $2,000? Not bad.
