Indie games are single-handedly carrying the gaming industry right now and it's about time they get their deserved recognition.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
"Three days filled with specialist lectures delivered by almost 200 speakers, three thematic summits, and over 2600 guests from almost every corner of the world - the capital of Małopolska became the capital of the games industry for a few days.
Organized by the Krakow Technology Park, the Digital Dragons Conference once again showed that Poland is attracting more and more attention from the world's biggest industry tycoons for a reason." - Digital Dragons.
Good read. This will be a good comment thread. I can not wait to get some good laughs.
so let's get that out in the open. i appreciate all forms of gaming. currently i own and play pc/wii/360/ps2 and am looking forward to next year for a ps3 when the titles come out. BR/hd dvd means nothing to me, i refuse to spend $30 for a movie i'll watch once. i'm in the US group. but i must say that sony has been acting beyond retarded with the whole issue of BC. they took personal jabs at MS's system for not being 100% BC yet at launch they themselves weren't and now europe, aka sonyland, is getting it worse than US/Japan did. their arrogance is getting the better of them, follow what you preach sony!
BC might not be your choice but imagine those who already sold/traded in their ps2 hardware only to find out their favorite titles MIGHT NOT work until some patched firmware months down the line. and proof on why you would want BC, developer's make different versions of games. fifa 07 on ps2 >>> fifa 07 on the next gen systems; likewise suits for the other soccer title PES. and that's just soccer titles. i picked up fifa 07 for ps2 over 360 simply because it had more to offer and didn't feel like a pretty game with missing tidbits.
in the end it's simple really, if u go on preaching 100% BC stating how that's another plus; then do so. do come later on when you have troubles and say 'well, it's not really that important'
i stopped believing what sony has said since the ps2 (where was the aol client? netscape browser? etc etc?!) and it seems the ps3 is following the same suit, no matter how powerful it is or how great the games will be for it. this is something they had to do, business is about making money, and hacking tidbits away to save on cost is smart, but not so smart when the consumer gets the brunt of the hacking
It is important, they are hypocrits. Hopefully the support will be strong. Blah. I'm drained.

"Of course, including the extra hardware drives up costs. The magazine adds that Sony plans on removing the PS2 chipset from future revisions of the PS3 hardware once it has finished development of a proper software-based PS2 emulator. Such a removal would help bring down costs for the system.
Sony has repeatedly stated that PS2 software would run on the PS3 through software emulation, leaving many to believe that the company had developed a powerful emulator for the older hardware. This would have been a particularly impressive feat, considering that even the PlayStation 2 originally used a combination of hardware and software to maintain backwards compatibility with original generation PlayStation games."
Really really old news. I cant believe people here are so bent out of shape.
at least the price will go down faster for gamers.
