Only 2 manufacturers out of approximately 10 are reported to be on track to maintain their actual shipments of next gen players due to a shortage of laser diodes
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.
what is up with you Thugbot187. seems like you're only out to post negative news about the PS3, even if they're old. are you on a crusade to destroy the PS3? Lol.
twas a bit weird, he seems to only tick ps3 and industry news with his articles...
I mean if he ticks ps3 how could he not tick 360 as the 360 will be in just as much trouble what with the hd-dvd external drive as the ps3 with the internal drive
but there ya go
NOBODY wants HD movies on blu-ray or hd-dvdd. For the next 5 years HDTV's will only be in less than 20% of homes. It's less than 5% now, so I ask Sony where's the drive. The answer is they think by forcing their format YEARS prematurely into a console they can win the format war.
And if they do who cares, because the consoles life cycle will be almost out and still cost 300-400 in 5 years. Not to mention by that time 4 years from now we'll have the new xbox with a HD drive possibly or a mega HDD.
the industry was expecting people to want to upgrade to a next gen movie format around 2008. but because sony and toshiba couldn't agree on a unified format, analysts have now pushed it back to 2010, as people will not want to get stuck with the latest "beta" or "laserdisk" player.
Did anyone actaully read the article instead of jumping on the PSZero Sucks and Xflop rulz argument. The way I see this is it is good news for the PS3, bad news for BD, HD-DVD and Mircrsofts HD-DVD external drive.
