-- "This is just one of the game features that the CELL’s SPUs have enabled. They’re a really interesting architecture. As a developer, you can get code running on them easily and immediately receive good performance due to the fact that you now have the task running in parallel with the other cores. And yet the architecture offers so many optimisation strategies that, if you're that way inclined, you can really hone your code until the virtual cows come home. It’s with this in mind that I’m really looking forward to seeing how games develop over this generation because hardcore developers are really going to be able to push it hard. It’s gonna be a really interesting ride!" --

-- "And so it is that we have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the hair. On some days I sit back and look at it and I’m marvelled at the graceful way in which it twines around the heroine as she attacks a multitude of characters. It really is something that comes close to my high expectations. But then there are the other days when you loathe it with a passion. Imagine that you’re trying to set up a really cool looking screenshot for something like, oh, a developer diary. The pressure is on to hit the deadline and the scene is perfect. Yet one strand of hair is hanging from the heroine’s lip like a big fat moustache that wouldn’t look out of place in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." --

So......The built in physics of Nariko's hair are done at such a high value and precision that loose hairs actually get in the way of marketing / dev screenshots? ** "FKN - AMAZING!!!" **

bubbl3s?

Kratos126138d ago (Edited 6138d ago )

bubbles for you. please return the favor. damn the xbots!!!

Edit: TY haze. Bubbles for you too.

hazeblaze6138d ago

More bubbles. Share the love!

Bathyj6138d ago

Ok you both get bubble. Not you Madden, you have to reset first. ;)

Bubble me back please guys.

Bebedora6138d ago (Edited 6138d ago )

Ratchet & Clank Future:ToD here. Those insomniac guys....they seems to be a smart bunch. Not to downplay HS. It's also a good showcase of the cell in action (as it seems for one with non-dev eyes). Motorstorm and Resistance did NOT use the Cell at all. Only RSX doing all the gfx, right?

I have to agree, this will be most intresting to see. Even if someone recently reaches 100% cpu usage, optimisation is a factor, as you said here (Maddens).

DADO6138d ago

I am the one that needs the bubbles. Xbox fans took them all

I do not spam. I do not swear. and I'm not 5 years old.
SO WHY ONLY ONE BUBBLE!?

techie6138d ago

I don't need bubbles. Nariko is a goddess.

chitown6138d ago

bubbles please

bubbles for everyone

Frulond6138d ago

At least for looks, tho I'm pretty sure the story and gamplay will be too.
I'm hyped about it so much I read the whole thing xD some other news I'm just like "hmmm... too long... will read later" but not for this game.
Hope to see the demo very soon :D

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro61d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7261d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_61d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga61d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2361d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200062d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin62d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole61d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix62d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198961d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198961d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno564d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya564d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020564d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds564d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya564d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman564d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran564d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
