Miyamoto speaks at length about why his GDC keynote looked back rather than ahead; why third parties--and the fourth-string teams they often assign to Nintendo games--are responsible for those games' low sales; and what he thought of PlayStation's then just-announced Home and LittleBigPlanet.
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.
I'm really suprised that Nintendo is the only one who DOESN'T bash on Sony for copying them. Twice.
I mean, if such a big company is so popular on their own with the PS2, why start copying the competition (that has been in third for two game generations at that).
The whole mess is bull. Sony really needs to pull out with the PS3 and let the Wii and 360 handle the market. Just make a PS4 THAT WILL ACTUALLY DELIVER.
sony only copied the motion sensor, wich isnt realy copying because they're completly diffrent. and the rumble pack was an add on on the 64, sony made the first controler with built in rumble
Odd quote...
Odd interview too. I think that if you take that one paragraph, it can be taken out of context... But if you read over the whole interview, it is actually pretty clear he isnt slamming EA or anything... So I'm happy.
...you need great HARDWARE. Most 3rd-party devs look at the Wii architecture, and still see a GC with a new controller (which is pretty much the case). The really ambitious, creative dev teams, would rather sink their time into the 360 or PS3, because of the far-superior processing power, memory, and online capabilities. Therefore, a lot of devs are putting "4th stringers" on the Wii, especially if it's a multiplatform game.
Yeah, screw the public, lets just make games for elite PC owners.
