Sony rubbishes PS3 redesign rumour

CVG Writes:

E3's just around the corner and, as always, speculation as to what guns the big three platforms holders are going to fire is rife, the latest being of a redesigned PS3 to be revealed at the show next month.

According to reports, Sony is preparing to make TWO hardware redesign-related announcements, one widely believed to be a new PSP, and the other now speculated to be a (possibly slimmer) redesigned PS3.

Sony UK, however, has told us today: "We currently don't have any plans for a redesigned PS3", so you can throw that one out the window.

O sev sev....PLEASE don't post this type of rumors on your site any more or youll end up like surfer girl and those other insiders.

Mike134nl5491d ago

the rumor was about 2 possible hardware designs at the e3, one being the redesign of the sony psp and the other being unknown leading to the speculation of a ps3 slim.
Rumor could still hold some truth if there is another hardware design of a sony product.

Pennywise5491d ago

Ive heard the same thing about price cuts RIGHT BEFORE price cuts. Dont rule it out over this PR response.

PirateThom5490d ago

If Sony have x number of current PS3s sitting on shelves and are bringing out a new design, they're not going to reveal the new design until most of the old stock clears or else people will stop buying them.

but but but but but i still want it

Sev5490d ago

@ Unbiased, don't you worry about me.

We aren't going anywhere.

Within about a week, no one will doubt me again.

anh_duong5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

all respect to you sev because you are the best source of leaks regarding all things ps3.

however, there is no shape redesign yet .. .. there is a newer model that runs cooler with a 45nm chip but the design is more or less the same other than a cooler chip, quieter heat sink and lighter weight.. but the overall dimensions won't change..

he prooved his Rep. and credibility
There is nothing more to say.
He earnd my Respect
The only one that lied was Silogon/VGtilt

Lucreto5490d ago

Care to elaborate on that comment. You can PM me. I can keep a secret. :)

Sev5490d ago

@ above,

You wouldn't be able to keep the secret I have. No one could. I have been sitting on it a month now, and it is absolutely killing me. It's news that will implode the internet.

:)

Lucreto5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

Pretty please get me a "Origin of Species" book and I will swear upon it.

I have secrets that will horrify and scare you. >:)

If it is killing you share with me I will help you with the burden.

Unbiased15490d ago

Gee thx Sev, now you made me all go insane with "what could it be"

Christopher5490d ago

Just that it could be one of a few possibilities. This means we now have one less possibility to work with.

locos855490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

Please stop teasing us with this news you will have next week. It's tough enough to wait for E3. but for some reason I am more curious to what info you are keeping from us.

Just give us a clue so we can speculate while we wait...

Is it about an unknown/known game coming?

Is it a new service from Sony?

Is it new hardware coming out?

Is it Ps2 backwards compatibility?

Is it details on an upcoming patch?

Just a clue would be nice or answer any or all my questions.

Edit: @ Below

Oh ok. I would say Team Ico related. Shadow of the Colossus 2 maybe?

Sev5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

@ locos,

it's somethIng COlossal.

@ below -
Actually there are 3 letters in caps.

Max Power5490d ago

is that capitalized "o" mean anything or is it a typo?

I_am_rushin5490d ago

Sev never said it was for the PS3. I bet it is for the PS2 with some kind of motion controller to compete with the wii.

Christopher5490d ago

Uh-oh, Sev is turning into a Sony hint machine like that one post for E3 that had all the words highlighted.

Hey, wasn't one of those words colossal? Oh, yes it was...

Stop teasing Sev. We'll be patient, we promise.

Kain815490d ago

can you tell us which Genre it is???

LordMarius5490d ago

"Actually there are 3 letters in caps"

ICO!!!

"it's somethIng COlossal. "

SotC 2!!!!

heroicjanitor5490d ago

He capitalised the i in something and the co in colossal so it's ico, can't wait!

Panipal20055490d ago

Yeah Sev's been teasing that he's got big, exclusive news about the next Team Ico game a lot lately.

I proposed a bet - a rather high stakes bet - that in fact he wouldn't have anything solid to show by a certain date....as of this moment he has not take me up on it, which leads me to believe that he's got nothing, and is...you guessed it...lying for hits AGAIN.

Care to prove me wrong, Sev? Care to accept the bet?

-EvoAnubis-5490d ago

We're not going to be baited into doing something by anyone, let alone you. We'll post what we have on our schedule, not yours.

Panipal20055490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

Or, Sev doesn't have anything to show until after E3 LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Oh yeah, Sev himself said 'in about a week' and I was prepared to give him until a week on Sunday. So much for me dictating your schedule.

Pictures and/or video, title, and game concept, anything less ain't going to cut it. Can you do that?

-EvoAnubis-5490d ago

Just remember you said that when we show what we have.

shadow27975490d ago

"You wouldn't be able to keep the secret I have. No one could. I have been sitting on it a month now, and it is absolutely killing me. It's news that will implode the internet.

:) "

Don't DO that! Are you trying to make me asplode?

For some reason, Shadow of the Colossus 2 doesn't seem right, it's an awesome announcement if true, but it was kinda a niche game. Doesn't seem like enough to crash his site. I think there's more...

Grr Sev. You make me impatient.

BISHOP-BRASIL5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

@Lucreto

Bubbles up for refering to Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".

@Shadow2797

Be patient! Way a week man, don't go @SSplode in us now. LOL. I just couldn't help it.

When the said PS3 redesign it still don't rule out a mother board redesign. I mean it's common knowledge that IBM & Toshiba are already producing 45nm Cell chips. So Sony could be in the process of swiching from 65nm Cell too 45nm Cell. Case could stay the same size, which would allow the chips more room to breathe.

Sarick5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

If it's a slim PS2 with standard laptop HDD support I'm buying one.

Sony CEO says although AI "has been used for creation," it's "not a substitute for human creativity"

"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.

isarai1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

They used to be 😞 sure it was always a business, and money's always the priority, but they used to have a very strong stance on supporting artists and creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" was a phrase they touted a few times back in the ps1-ps3 era, a philosophy carried over from their music branch PlayStation was created from. It's not COMPLETELY gone, but it's barely there compared to what it was back then, i just want them to return to that.

Eonjay16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

I am highly encouraged by their statement about human creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" is exactly what they are saying. But at the same time, I don't think people understand that Sony is a corporation. If they don't realize growth, they don't get to exist. When you say 'Sony', you are talking about a bunch of investors. To speak about them any other way is a illogical and incorrect. They haven't changed. They have been a group of investors since they became a public business.

isarai1d 4h ago

Ugh, i really wish people would stop gambling people's livelihoods by turning a project/game into their political soapbox. Im all for statements and having your own opinion, but there's more people working on this than just druckman, ham fisting your political beliefs onto just seems inconsiderate for everyone elses job security when it can result in a failure due to people avoiding it for that reason.

I play games for escape, im so tired of nearly every AAA game blatantly dragging real world issues to shove in my face when I'm trying to take a break from it all. They don't even bother to be subtle about it, quite the opposite, it's blasted and force fed to you and it's just getting exhausting

Einhander197218h ago

People are taking a whole interview and cutting it down to clips that make him look bad and take what he actually was saying out of context. For example he also said things like this AI has "ethical issues we need to address"

-Foxtrot18h ago

@Einhander

Why defend him at this point?

It’s not taking things out of context, he said what he said.

Old ND would never talk about soulless AI taking over so many creative things they are well known for. The whole “ethical issues” is just a good PR spin people who push this crap fall back on to make their statements not seem as bad. So many AI lovers do this.

AI has no place is so many creative based things.

Einhander197218h ago

Well yeah, because everyone else is using it so they need to stay competitive. It's the same as paid online, they didn't want to go that route but their competition was making so much money they needed to add paid online just to keep up.

RaiderNation16h ago(Edited 15h ago)

AI will never replace humans in game development in terms of conceptualizing new games. Humans still need to come up with the ideas and what they want to implement. However much of the day to day menial coding could be AI driven to reduce production time and team size. I could also see AI being used for bug testing/optimization that could lead to better quality games at launch. I'm actually very optimistic about how AI can positively impact game development.

Good statement but hopefully this holds up

NotoriousWhiz17h ago

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.

Eonjay16h ago

AI in and of itself is not a 'bad'. Money is bad. Money is evil, and corporations will do whatever they can to get more of it. They will find ways to implement AI to replace as may jobs as possible. This isn't even up for debate. It is the charge of the corporation to maximize returns for the investors. They have no choice. I'm a developer and I know that my job will absolutely be replaced. Therefore, I have decided to become an AI dev. AI has a lot of potential to help us solve problem on a scale most can't even imagine. The issue, as ever is that our monetary system only ever allows us to focus on greed and fiscal growth.

But I am a pragmatist. Perhaps an AI model can be built to help protect us from our most dangerous instincts and habits. And perhaps Congress can pass laws to protect us from people who would use AI to manipulate and control us (spoiler: they wont).

Progress is inevitable. Nobody driving cars today is complaining that the horse and buggy is no longer around. Yes, some jobs will be lost but guess what? With innovation comes new job opportunities. It's how the cycle of the job market works.
