Honestly, I wish they'd shut up about their 3D vision...

dragonelite5630d ago

Hope sony puts 3D in the backburner for now they should have pushed 3D with next gen when we actually have hardware capable of running 1080p@60 fps and 30 fps for 3D then make the tv push with the new Wk or Ek

Qui-Gon Jim5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

They're pushing it now for the same reason Microsoft is pushing Kinect now rather than with the next generation. They want to be the first ones out of the gate with the technology.

Both technologies would probably be better off with the next generation of consoles, but that leaves the competition an opportunity to catch up with, or even surpass you.

"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?"
--Kaz Hirai, CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment

Be patient Sony purposely limited developers from being able to take full advantage of the PS3. Later in the Gen you will see games in 1080p@60fps with 3D.

Luckily for those not wanting to wait a cheaper and supeior alternative is available today.

Hush.. you dont wanna dissapoint all the people who bought even older hardware being told its next gen:P

Sony is just setting the ground, same with Nintendo.

Back when HDTV launched, who do you think it appealed to more? Gamers or casual Television user?
Most likely gamers since they had the most content that could run in HD.

Same thing is happening again, 3D has the most content in gaming. Once they have captured enough of the market and sold enough price cuts for the sets will happen and become more affordable.

I don't see 3D taking off that fast, but then again new TV sets never do (Color TV had just as much issues, HDTV, and now 3DHDTV)

Only issue is the glasses, but that could change since displays are being created without the use of them. 3D Started without them, i do see why they should have them later.

MisterAV5630d ago

@8800gtx
1. the hdmi port on the ps3 can't do 1080p@60 in 3d. Maybe the Cell+RSX can but the port is the limit
2. 8800gtx? it's a bit old now,no?

raztad5630d ago

Considering Kaz Hirai didnt design the PS3 (or previous PS) but Kutaragi. I would say Hirai was just talking some PR crap. He most likely has not idea of why the PS3 (or the PS2) had that alien arch.

If I remember correctly Hirai also commented they will be receive feedback from devels regarding the design of the PS4. This comes to show Hirai is not interested in following Kutaragi philosophy.

DaTruth5630d ago

I really like 3D. In Avatar it was cool, but it was just a movie in 3D and wasn't taking advantage of 3D. But I recently saw Resident Evil in 3d and that was designed with specialized effects for 3D and that was really awesome!

Nothing like having 2 barrels pointed right in your face to really dial up the immersion!

and crap of Move....

N4Great5630d ago (Edited 5630d ago )

Poor ignorant fan-trolliar..

like the one saying that : "All i want is,
Custom soundtracks,
Cross game chat,
Voice messaging,
Ingame vid/pic capture.."

lol, nice try, but you fail like every single uneducated xboxfan since 2006.

custom soundtracks ? done.
voice messaging ? we have video messaging = bam.
ingame vid/pics ? lol, you are really misinformed.

the only thing that don't exist for now is cross game chat, but most of the gamers don't care, since they can talk in the game they are playing !

kungfuian5630d ago

"We also have techniques like holographics for the PS3 that I think will be very interesting for the future 3D games."

Like I've said in the past. If they combine the conventional 3d (glasses) with the Johny lee style headtracking virtual window (using pseye)= holgram effect for the user!!!!

Qui-Gon Jim5630d ago

Combine those with Move. It would have limited uses, but they would be awesome ones. Imagine having in-game collectibles like Batman: Arkham Asylum's character trophies, but being able to manipulate them with Move and having them appear to actually be right in front of you.

raztad5630d ago

"
In terms of dev budget and cost, you said 3D adds on another two per cent. How about processing power?

It all depends how a game is converted, if a technique like reprojection is used then is can be as low as 3ms of GPU time.
But it all depends how a game converts to 3D. If a game draws two entire frames with split-screen then its developers will find it easier to convert. There are also a lot of new techniques that can drive processor usage down."

3ms sounds good enough. Reprojection = Z-buffer technique?

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

Soy2d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand1251d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

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.

Cacabunga3d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

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.

neutralgamer19922d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga2d ago

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

1nsomniac2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

..."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.

medman2d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger2d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box3d ago

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.

robtion2d ago

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.

darthv723d ago

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.

Agent752d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit2d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz1493d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning773d ago

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.
