The UK's PLAY Magazine published an article in their latest issue entitled: The PSP2's Features (probably)
When Google unveiled Genie 3, an AI that generates explorable 3D worlds from simple text prompts, investors responded by dumping video game stocks en masse—wiping out billions in market value in mere hours. But in their rush to flee, Wall Street confused "playable environments" with actual video games, ignoring the technology's hard limits while threatening the human creativity that makes games worth playing. As the industry faces a future of automated mediocrity driven by shareholder demands, the panic reveals a deeper truth: investors aren't betting on better games, just cheaper ones.
same level of fear that gen ai will replace art ... it is a tool that will help to prototipize open world games, but to completelly substitute game engines ... we are still a long way from it
Humans have been developing things to simplify jobs since the beginning.
AI is going to remove the human factor from the job, but it can never replace all jobs that need a human factor.
I wish I could see the end of the story. What is the end, end goal, final piece, etc.
Is it a world run by machines, do humans live in a free world, does a dictator finally have an robot army, do humans finally free of working forever, does ChatGPT create an army to defeat Gemini., so many possibilities …
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
There's a lot to look forward to.
oo, i like
how is UMD useless if it's delivered millions and millions of games to millions of PSP owners?
Those sticks are in horrible posistions, if they are going to include dual sticks in the next PSP - then they really need to change the shape of the actual PSP to make it easier to hold.
I can't see getting rid of the UMD. I would have no issue. However, not everyone has home access to the Internets believe it on not. The only way I see this happening is some sort of kiosk for those who don't have a SAFE/Secure connection to the Internet to download games.
I still disagree with the UMD being taken out. Every problem resulted from th UMD can be fixed:
Battery life can be enhanced with a better and powerful battery.
Size is not an overly major concern, the PSP-3000 is a nice size and weight, though if they did want ti much smaller I can see the UMD part being a problem.
Loading times can be curtailed as well with a stronger processor, RAM etc. Coupled with a better batter that will be more able to run the operations I don't see this as a major problem with the PSP2.
I personally believe that these issues can be fixed without getting rid of the UMD. Likewise pure DD is not going to be the future for a good few years. Not everyone is willing to download all their games, and not every is capable of doing so. The two way option of UMD and DD is a workable solution.
However beyond that, I think a sliding screen would be nice, if not entirely high priority, and reworked controls to include all the buttons of a PS console would be great: it would allow users of the PSP2 and PS3, to use the PSP2 as a controller for the PS3.
The flash memory would also be great but Sony need to make sure they don't have a hand held that is too expensive. In fact, a non-UMD PSP2 which is expensive wud surely not work, or maybe they could offer 2 SKU's.
