<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">UPDATE: Kaz Hirai hablo . . . y todos se quedaron callados. Por un lado se anuncio la estrategia de SONY para llevar al PS3 con todo y juegos a la 3D o Tercera Dimension . . . sa sabiendas que dentro de poco en el mercado apareceran Televisores HD con capacidad de Tercera Dimensión . . . pero aunque esa noticia es importante . . . lo que sigue suena un poco MAL . . .</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8948 aligncenter" title="psn event" src="http://dominiumundi.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/psn-event.jpg" alt="psn event" width="500" height="415" /></p>
<p>. . . ya que el mismo Kaz Hirai dio la noticia que la Playstation Network sufrira modificaciones en un futuro. Trayendo consigo nuevo contenido PREMIUM (traduciendo, contenido de PAGO) . . . que beneficie a la compañia y obviamente mejore las opciones actuales. Lo que muchos temiamos podria ser verdad . . . LA PSN deja de ser GRATUITA. Aunque obviamente Kaz Hirai nego que la PSN se volvera de pago, tal como pasa con XBOX LIVE, no pudo negar que en un futuro habran más cosas en la PSN pero tendras que pagar por ellas. Los mantendre al pendiente.</p>
<p>NOTA: Durante este Noviembre y el que viene la Playstation Network tendra varios eventos en los cuales podras acceder y seguramente ganar algunos items o cosas por el estilo. Les dejo el horario y espero que nos veamos por ahi.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">UPDATE: Tambien les puedo decir con gusto que al igual que la nota anterior . . . el PS3 SLIM esta disponible en México de manera inmediata practicamente en toda tienda departamental que se digne de serlo. Eso si no esperen el precio FABULOSO de nuestro vecino del norte . . . en México el PS3 SLim 120 GB se cotiza en $6000 pesos sin juego. Es una tristeza que eso pase, pero bueno . . . de momento no tengo ganas de pelear.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Lo que si les puedo decir es que el sistema, cuenta con todo lo necesario . . . asi que es cuestion de un volado . . . te compras el sistema ahorita o esperas a que salgan los BUNDLES. Dificil elección.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Para finalizar . . . se me paso decir que en el caso del PSP Go se esta vendiendo en $5000 pesos . . . asi que ya tienen la info completa. Ya les traere mas info.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7810 aligncenter" title="ps3slim new" src="http://dominiumundi.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/ps3slim-new.jpg" alt="ps3slim new" width="449" height="996" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Hace unos momentos Stephen totilo subio a su canal de youtube este video, que muestra el PS3 Slim, chequenlo pero no tanto por el detalle si el PS3S se queda en posición vertical, sino mas bien para que se den idea de que tamaño tiene. Y algo que no puedo negar es que se ve muy bien. Ya les traere más info al respecto.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/WTBVw_5eb7o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/WTBVw_5eb7o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">El PS3 Slim se revelo en la Gamescom 2009. Jack Tretton libero un video en US Playstation mostrando el nuevo sistema que costara $299 USD. Este cuenta con un HDD de 120 GB y obviamente reducira los extras del modelo anterior, siendo más pequeño y disminuyendo el uso de energía. Aunque seguimos con la incertidumbre de la falta de retrocompatibilidad. Pero en fin . . . ahora si es OFICIAL el 1 de Septiembre estará disponible.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello there, readers of the Supermegahappyreview blog! From this moment forward our blog shall begin and will focus primarily on the world of gaming and our thoughts and opinions of its several ongoing aspects.</p>
<p>Heading up the SMHR blog shall be myself (Ric Gray), Mark &#8220;MDA&#8221; Adnams and James &#8220;Alias Unavailable&#8221; Churchill. This may change over time but for the forseeable future we shall be the sole writers for this site.</p>
<p>There is no primary focus of this blog as it pertains to gaming, with the posts being simply reflective of our musings at the time of publication. These may include news stories, game reviews, gaming lists and possibly a gaming debate/discussion.</p>
<p>That should be more than enough to fulfill the requirements of the conventional welcoming blog. And if it&#8217;s not, leave already. Not really. Kind of.</p>
<p>Have fun reading the content soon to be published!<br />

<p>En una reciente entrevista Kaz Hirai comento que Sony siempre saca juegos primero para el publico hardcore y luego ya se enfoca en los casuales.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin:0 0 10px;padding:0;">Siempre hemos empezado con nuestro público central, y ya luego nos expandemos. Una consola siempre necesita un núcleo sólido de juegos que atraen a los jugadores de verdad. Miren a God of War que fue lanzado en el séptimo año de la Playstation 2 y mucha gente se pregunta por qué lo hicimos. Es porque siempre hemos querido mantener el apoyo de los juagadores hardcore.</p>
<p>Eso no significa que no estás haciendo nada para ampliar la demografía. SingStar y Buzz son ejemplos evidentes. Pero tenemos que hacerlo de forma controlada. Si usted va a lo casual demasiado rápido y no apoyo al público central, entonces falta el pilar importante de apoyo a su plataforma. Sin este pilar,  solo te queda un publico casual voluble que puede ser grande, pero probablemente pueden cambiar en cualquier momento&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="margin:0 0 10px;padding:0;">La verdad, esta estrategia es muy buena, ya que asi se quedan todos los consumidores contentos y hay juegos para todos. Y ustedes, que opinan de la estrategia de Sony?</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Concordar com o que <span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Kaz Hirai</strong></span>, chefão da divisão Playstation, costuma falar, não é lá uma coisa que eu faço muito, mas desta vez ele acertou em cheio.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em uma entrevista ao respeitado jornal britânico “<strong>The Guardian</strong>“, Hirai reafirmou que os jogadores hardcore são a base do negócio e que os casuais não possuem a fidelidade necessária para segurar o negócio em tempos difíceis.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>“Um console sempre precisa de uma base de jogos sólidos que interessa aos gamers (hardcore)… Se você vai ao mainstream (mercado casual) rápido demais e não apoia a audiência hardcore então você fica sem o pilar de apoio para sua plataforma. Sem este pilar você acaba com uma audiência volátil que pode ser grande mas provavelmente irá embora”</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não posso concordar mais com o Kaz Hirai. A Sony e a Microsoft tem realizado um belo trabalho, grandes jogos hardcore que criam fãs fiéis as suas plataformas. Enquanto isso a Nintendo se apoia nos casuais, que compram o Wii por moda, porquê não conhecem mesmo o que é um video game bom, ou seja, eles só perdem fãs leais.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Com o lançamento do <span style="color:#cc0000;">Project NATAL</span> (360) e <span style="color:#cc0000;">PS Eye/Wand</span> (PS3) acredito que a febre do Wii começará a abaixar e Sony e Microsoft agregarão a sua sólida base de fãs os jogadores casuais o que tende a abalar o negócio da Nintendo.</p>

<p>Kaz Hira,CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, recently gave an interview to G4TV in the midst of the events revolving around E3. After reading through the Interview and seeing what the man has to say, I have to say i respect him, I&#8217;m not saying hes right, which is very arguable, but he stands up for the gamers that made the company what it is today:</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">&#8220;We have always started with the core audience and then expanded. A console always needs a solid core of games that appeal to gamers. Look at God of War. We launched that in the seventh year of the Playstation 2 and a lot of people wondered why we did. It&#8217;s because we always wanted to keep the support of the core gaming audience.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">That&#8217;s not to say we&#8217;re not doing anything to expand the demographics. Singstar and Buzz are obvious examples. But we need to do this in a controlled way. If you go mainstream too quickly and don&#8217;t support the core gaming audience then you lack the pillar to support your platform. Without this pillar you end up with a fickle audience that might be big but will probably move on.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Good job Kaz, keep it up !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3148" title="Sony" src="http://owshitz.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/sony1.jpg" alt="Sony" width="259" height="359" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>C&#8217;était à <strong>Sony</strong> de terminer les conférences de pré-E3. Une conférence avec un peu de blabla pour rassurer les actionnaires, mais surtout du jeu, et beaucoup de jeux.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Qn2gU-1QYbc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Qn2gU-1QYbc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Voilà comment <strong>Sony</strong> a donné le ton avant de sortir son discours rempli de chiffres. Une belle entrée en matière donc, peut-être même la plus belle. Puis est arrivée une belle demo d&#8217;<strong><em>Uncharted 2</em></strong>, une des quelques exclus restantes à la <strong>PS3</strong>. Et ce qui est sûr, c&#8217;est que le level design est magnifique ! Les scènes d&#8217;actions sont un peu too much (ça me rappelle quand <strong>Bruce Willis</strong> se bat contre un avion dans <strong><em>Die Hard 4</em></strong>&#8230;), mais c&#8217;est ce qui fait sûrement le charme de cette série. Sachez qu&#8217;il y a en plus un mode multi-joueurs dont la béta a déjà commencé et dont les retours sont vraiment très bons.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/-GtNRqHTsUc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/-GtNRqHTsUc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>On passe à <strong><em>MAG</em></strong>, le FPS massivement multi-joueurs avec pas moins de 256 soldats se battant sur une carte gigantesque. Un pari risqué qui annonce la couleur en vidéo sans annonce de date de sortie. Pour le moment rien d&#8217;enthousiasmant mais un jour, peut-être.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QVur58Wcess&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QVur58Wcess&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grande question qui peut faire débat : À quoi sert une <strong>PSP</strong> ? Généralement quand vous rencontrez un possesseur de cette console &#8220;portable&#8221; vous avez plus de chance de le voir en train de l&#8217;utiliser plutôt comme un walkman qu&#8217;une console. Certes, il y a eu quelques jeux exclusifs qui mériteraient un intérêt à l&#8217;acheter, mais soyons francs, vraiment peu. Alors quand le comique <strong>Kaz Hirai</strong> arrive sur le devant de la scène et nous montre qu&#8217;il a un peu mis son arrogance de côté pour nous présenter la <strong>PSP Go!</strong> sur laquelle une pléthore de jeux débarqueront, on sourit chez <strong>OwShitz</strong> en se disant qu&#8217;il a enfin compris, qu&#8217;il est pas mal en retard sur la concurence, et surtout que ça va être très difficile de se mesurer à la <strong>DS</strong> et sa sœur qui sont bien en place.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/YY77UU2QciA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/YY77UU2QciA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Et ouais, en plus, elle affiche l&#8217;heure ! Le design n&#8217;est qu&#8217;une question de goût, on aime ou on n&#8217;aime pas. Plus fine, les grosses paluches auront peut-être un peu de mal à utiliser le bouton analogique. Disparition du port pour cartouches UMD, ce qui lui conférera une meilleure autonomie, les jeux se téléchargeront alors directement via le net et pourront être stockées sur 16Go de mémoire. La <strong>PSP Go!</strong> sera en vente dès le 1er octobre en Europe au prix de 249$ soit 249€ (aaah les joies des conversions&#8230;).</p>
<p><strong>Kaz Hirai</strong> passe le relais à <strong>Kazunouri Yamauchi</strong>, le père créateur des <em><strong>Gran Tourismo</strong></em>, pour annoncer la sortie de<strong><em> Gran Tourismo PSP</em></strong> le même jour que celle de la <strong>PSP GO!</strong>. Les seules images qu&#8217;on pouvait voir sont celles qui défilaient dans la console qu&#8217;il tenait dans la main. Il faudra attendre l&#8217;ouverture de l&#8217;<strong>E3</strong> pour en voir plus. Et <strong>GT 5</strong> alors ? C&#8217;est qu&#8217;il y a de sérieux concurents qui sont annoncés en plus, comme par exemple <strong>Need For Speed Shift</strong> .</p>
<p>Il a ensuite passé le témoin à <strong>Hideo Kojima</strong>(-sama) pour révéler l&#8217;un des secrets qui se cachait derrière son site teaser bien lourdingue. Il ne s&#8217;agira en fait que de la véritable suite de <strong><em>Metal Gear Solid 3</em></strong> sur <strong>PSP GO!</strong>, intitulée <strong><em>Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker</em></strong>, où les fans en apprendront plus sur la formation d&#8217;<em>Outer Heaven</em>. La vidéo laisse en plus présager du jeu multi-joueurs en ligne. À suivre.</p>

<p>Une petite vidz avec tous les autres jeux annoncés qui sortiront sur <strong>PSP GO!</strong> comme <strong><em>Little Big Planet</em></strong>, <strong><em>Monster Hunter Freedom Unite</em></strong>&#8230;<strong><em>Hannah Montana</em></strong>&#8230;</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Vient ensuite ce qu&#8217;<strong>Ubisoft</strong> aurait dû dévoiler à sa conférence pour qu&#8217;elle soit moins <a href="http://owshitz.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/e3-2009-ce-qu%e2%80%99on-a-retenu-des-conferences-pt-3/" target="_blank">dévalorisée</a> : une démo de <em><strong>Assassin&#8217;s creed 2</strong></em>. Et quelle démo ! Si vous avez aimé le trailer, vous apprécierez encore plus cette vidéo. C&#8217;est follement beau !</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QyPLVTGpnBQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QyPLVTGpnBQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>On sait qu&#8217;on pourra payer des gens pour créer une diversion et assassiner en toute tranquilité, que ça se déroule dans les villes de Toscane, notamment Venise, et que <strong>Leonard de Vinci</strong> a une place prépondérante dans l&#8217;histoire de cet épisode. De plus on a une date de sortie : le 17 novembre 2009 ! Oh, et il y aura un opus pour la <strong>PSP GO!</strong> appelé <strong><em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Bloodlines</em></strong>.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est au tour de <strong>Square Enix</strong> de faire son apparition avec une vidéo de <strong><em>Final Fantasy XIII</em></strong> qui rassure, puisqu&#8217;on voit des scènes en extérieur bien plus lumineuses et colorées que celles qu&#8217;on pouvait constater dans la démo qui était fournie avec le film <strong><em>Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children</em></strong>.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/dr8wXi6fyig&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/dr8wXi6fyig&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mais on a eu droit à une autre surprise, et de taille ! <strong><em>Final Fantasy XIV</em></strong> se dévoile dans un superbe trailer ! On y apprend qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agira d&#8217;un MMORPG.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/AvZmHF4TEco&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/AvZmHF4TEco&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Alors non, il ne s&#8217;agit pas d&#8217;une exclu <strong>PS3</strong>. Il sortira sur <strong>PC</strong> et il est même envisagé qu&#8217;il arrive sur <strong>Xbox360</strong>. C&#8217;est une bien belle annonce quoi qu&#8217;il en soit, et surtout innatendue ! Aucune nouvelle de <strong><em>Final Fantasy Versus XIII</em></strong> en revanche. Dommage.</p>
<p><strong>Microsoft</strong> sort son <em>Projet Natal</em> qui nous rendait lors de sa présentation pour le moins scéptiques (oui, je parle au passé, ça a bien changé depuis), <strong>Nintendo</strong> annonce son déjà connu <em>Wii Motion Plus</em>, <strong>Sony</strong> n&#8217;allait donc pas arriver sans accessoire. À en voir la tête des démonstrateurs, ça a travaillé dur et surtout tard pour être prêt. Voici donc une démo d&#8217;un controlleur qui ressemble à un godemichet lumineux et qui a l&#8217;air beaucoup plus évolué qu&#8217;une <em>Wiimote</em>. C&#8217;est encore un prototype, donc on ne peut pas trop juger, mais ça marche.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FMAvdtRhw9k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FMAvdtRhw9k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Retour au jeu avec <strong><em>ModNation Racers</em></strong>. Un <strong><em>Mario Kart</em></strong> jouable en ligne avec l&#8217;esthétique des persos de<strong><em> Little Big Planet</em></strong> et un éditeur de niveaux super intéressant qui prévoit de belles parties où le fun sera omniprésent.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/s-XO_CRNTIU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/s-XO_CRNTIU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Il n&#8217;y a pas si longtemps, une vidz infestait le webz montrant un jeu avec un nom pas du tout adapté pour la France : <strong><em>Projet TRICO</em></strong>. Il s&#8217;intitule désormais <strong><em>The Last Guardian</em></strong>  et c&#8217;est le dernier jeu vidéo en développement par les créateurs des fameux <strong><em>ICO</em></strong> et <strong><em>Shadow Of Colossus</em></strong>. C&#8217;est toujours aussi lyrique et toujours aussi sublime. On jouera un petit garçon qui sera accompagné d&#8217;une étrange bête à poils et à plumes qui nous aidera à franchir des obstacles. On n&#8217;en sait pas plus, mais la qualité des animations est juste halluciante.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RX2MVZPqTi0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RX2MVZPqTi0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ah ben tiens, il suffit de râler un peu pour qu&#8217;il arrive. <strong><em>Gran Tourismo 5</em></strong> se montre en images. On voit d&#8217;ailleurs dans ce trailer qu&#8217;il y a des déformations de carosserie. Se sont-ils décidés à les incorporées ? En tout cas ce qui est sûr, c&#8217;est que la concurence se fait fortement sentir étant donné qu&#8217;on est de moins en moins impréssionnés lorsqu&#8217;on regarde ces images. Toujours aucune date pour sa sortie&#8230; <strong>Duke Nukem</strong> conduirait-il une des voitures ?</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/gZQAvtt0j0k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/gZQAvtt0j0k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pour finir, une démo de <strong><em>God Of War III</em></strong> présentée par un descendant de <strong>Kratos</strong>. C&#8217;est d&#8217;une rare violence, sanglant, énergique, avec des finish move spectaculaires. Bref, ce que tout fan de beat&#8217;em all adore. Zyeutez donc.</p>

<p> </p>
<h4>Conclusion : Une conférence riche en jeux vidéo, ce que les joueurs demandent en somme, mais beaucoup moins d&#8217;exclusivités qu&#8217;auparavant (à croire que c&#8217;est une espèce en voie de disparition) et beaucoup de jeux déjà connus du milieu. L&#8217;accent a été surtout porté sur la PSP GO! vu la multitude de jeux qui ont été annoncés. Une bien belle conférence donc, qui ne surpasse pas pour autant les autres mais qui a le mérite de les avoir égalées.</h4>

<description><![CDATA[Sony should still have some surprises in tow, although one of them already leaked last week.  There]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-194" title="Jack+Tretton+1+resized" src="http://renegadefrenchfry.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/jacktretton1resized.jpg" alt="Jack+Tretton+1+resized" width="270" height="392" /></p>
<p>Sony should still have some surprises in tow, although one of them already leaked last week.  There&#8217;s bound to be some news about the PSP Go, as well as exclusives such as the Uncharted sequel and God Of War 3 and services such as Playstation Home.  The best thing about Sony in this situation is that according to sales numbers, they are in third place but that means they can definitely gain ground with some tight media integration and game selection.</p>
<ul>
<li>Jack Tretton, President of SCEA jumps on stage and does the introduction. &#8220;Something for every taste every budget every need&#8221; and starts to spout some numbers showing how much the brand grew in the past 12 months.  He name checks MW2, FFXIII, Ratchet and Clank: Future, Heavy Rain, Rock Band: Beatles and Batman Arkham Asylum.</li>
<li>Not a surprise, but the PS2 is first up.  To me it&#8217;s amazing how the PS2 has bucked the standard gaming console cycle and is still selling at a good rate.  There are no games shown for the system (of course) but he mentions it because, let&#8217;s face it, a lot of people are still looking for one and still buy games for it.  Of course they would because backwards compatiblity is gone for the newer versions of the console.  He mentions that the PS2 outsold current generation systems in April during it&#8217;s ninth year. OOOOOOH SNAP.  Wait&#8230;that includes the Playstation 3 as well.  Not sure if I woulda mentioned that, Jack.  But whatever.  Onto the games.</li>
<li>He moves into Playstation 3 numbers, hitting 10 million install base.  Also he mentions the expansion into South America.</li>
<li>Playstation Network numbers are spouted out but he does a politician smooth segue into introducing Infamous, which released in May.</li>
<li>Jack says theres 35 exclusives being released for the PS3 including Infamous and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which is about to be demoed.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve always been a fan of Uncharted so I&#8217;m very ready to watch this demo.  Evan Wells, Naughty Dog Co-President takes the stage to mention the Uncharted Multiplayer Beta, which will go live at midnight, but he wants to show us the single player campaign.  Nathan Drake looks very fluid in motion and almost moves like a rodent, how he jumps and climbs.  He climbs a beam and a helicopter moves into view.  Curse word.  A gunfight with the helicopter along with some armed henchmen ensue.  The first thing I notice is how Nathan reacts to things going on around him.  He sways as the ledge he&#8217;s on breaks in half.  He panics when he gets shot at.  Another pretty cool move is the ability to lift himself over cover as he&#8217;s hanging off of a ledge to shoot.  The gunplay is pretty standard fare but it still looks pretty fun.  The building that he is fighting in begins to collapse on its side and furniture and books slide across the floor.  Nathan loses his footing while debris and lose planks of wood splinter into smaller shards around him.  Impressive particle effects abound.  It&#8217;s a very impressive and pretty game and I can&#8217;t wait to play it.</li>
<li>Mag is now next on deck a public unveiling of live gameplay.  Mag is a 256 player online FPS which seems squad, army and battalion based.  256 players apprently are playing live online for this demo including people in Seattle and San Diego.  Cross country attachments aren&#8217;t mentioned but I hope there&#8217;s some sort of netcode optimization for those who are too far away from some people.  The game looks pretty standard.  Not impressive as far as visuals, as there is a LOT of information on the screen at once.  It almost reminds me of Quake Wars, another squad based console shooter.  Mag is more objective based than how many points your team has.  If you take over a missile battery, you have the ability to do missile strikes, if you take out an anti aircraft gun, you can parachute into certain areas.  Very cool stuff.  Even the spawning system is pretty good, as you have choppers, piloted by real players which fly in and drop you in.  At the end, the commander calls a cluster bomb strike which opens up for the offense to move into the heart of the war zone.  I&#8217;m impressed but I didn&#8217;t see much action from the person actually playing.</li>
<li>Jack hits the stage and talks up the PSP3000, but that&#8217;s not as important as the lilac colored Hannah Montana PSP.  Fuck.  Yes.  Jack introduces Kaz Hirai onstage to bring out the PSP Go.  Totally saw this coming.</li>
<li>Before he even brings out the PSP Go, I&#8217;m guessing to myself which pocket he has it in.  I guess his right pocket.  He goes for his left.  Foiled again.  It&#8217;s a little sexy piece of tech.  It looks like a smaller PSP with a sliding screen which reveals the game pad.  He makes a nice joke about it being nicknamed the &#8220;worst kept secret of E3&#8243;.  He does make a point to mention that the PSP Go is NOT here to replace the original PSP.  It still has the same size screen and takes M2 removable media but has 16 Gb of memory integrated.  I groan when I hear M2.  I can&#8217;t find that shit ANYWHERE.  PSP Go will be 250 dollars US on Oct 1st.</li>
<li>&#8220;Media Manager&#8221; is soon to be replaced by Media Go for easy transfer from your PC to your PSP.  Sony has also taken the procedurally generated playlist thing and made &#8220;Sense Me&#8221; which makes your playlists depending on what mood or what kind of music you want to listen to, like Apple&#8217;s Genius.</li>
<li>People who want to make games for the PSP also have a HUGE discount on dev tools.  80%.  Pretty good.</li>
<li>Kazunori Yamauichi comes on stage to taut his PSP version of one of my favorite racing franchises, Gran Turismo.  It will run 60 frames per second and will be a full fledged title with 800 cars and over 30 tracks with different variations on each and will be a launch title for the PSP Go.  I, for one, is pretty excited for it.</li>
<li>Hideo Kojima, wearing the same shirt he wore at the Microsoft conference comes out to show us a new Metal Gear game, Metal Gear: Peace Walker.  It&#8217;s a fully produced game by Kojima, so there will be long cutscenes, weird bosses and Japanese AV model posters.  A trailer shows Snake walking and sneaking and running along a beach.  As a matter of fact, I had this dream of Snake running alongside a beach&#8230;.nevermind.  And with that, there&#8217;s the PSP Go segment of hype.</li>
<li>Jack comes back and mentions a Resident Evil game for PSP as well as SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo something, Little Big Planet and oh snap HANNAH MONTANNAAAAAH.  There&#8217;s an audible applause from the audience.  Now he discusses how awesome Playstation Network is.  He announces almost 50 Playstation 1 games to the store with Final Fantasy VII being the first one available as of this announcement.  Holy shit.  I&#8217;m actually excited because I haven&#8217;t been able to play it on this non-backwards compatible PS3.  I just realized what Sony is doing.</li>
<li>Playstation Home (beta) is mentioned where he shows off some numbers and name checks a bunch of developer studios who will have Playstation Home spaces available in the future.  Playstation Home hype video comes starring Chun Li?  Jack Tretton&#8217;s Playstation Home id is: Mr. T.  Now after this comes the real meat of the show, Playstation 3 games.</li>
<li>I take a little issue of showing off a Rockstar produced game called Agent without having any screenshots or gameplay footage.  My thing is, if there isn&#8217;t anything to show, don&#8217;t mention it.  Same goes for you too Microsoft with your MGS spinoff game.  At least Nintendo had a cool trailer for Metroid: Other M.</li>
<li>Now comes a live demo of Assassins Creed II, set in Italy during the rennaisance period.  The main character of AC2 this time will have famous friends by hobnobbing with Leonardo Di Vinci.  He even becomes an accessory to murder by providing you with a flying machine to drop into a fortified location to kill a target.  Big Ooh moment of the show: Dual blades going through the necks and into the brains of two guards at one time.  Ezio moves through Italy similar to the first Assassins Creed.  The animation is improved but so much but still looks pretty good.  The jumping mechanic still isn&#8217;t as fluid as I&#8217;d like but it still looks pretty.  The PSP version of Assassins Creed will work alongside the PS3 version, my guess is for unlockable weapons or missions.  Pretty solid demo.</li>
<li>Next up is Final Fantasy XIII.  There&#8217;s a brand new english trailer&#8230;wait brand new English trailer?  I thought they were going to work on the English version after the Japanese version dropped?  Will all Final Fantasy XIII trailers, there&#8217;s not even a vague clue of what the story is about.  Maybe some freedom fighters or some sort of resistance to a higher military power that harnesses the power of mechas or some sort of crystals.  There&#8217;s some new fighting footage interspersed throughout and it looks pretty and colorful and the black guy seems to not curse every four words, Barrett.</li>
<li>Wait.  Final Fantasy XIV and it&#8217;s going to be an exclusive?  How the hell?  And it&#8217;s releasing the same year as XIII?  What the hell?  Oh wait.  It&#8217;s a more traditional RPG fare: Swords and Chocobos and big armor with a long of string music.  Jack mentions a &#8220;new online epic&#8221; so maybe it&#8217;s an MMORPG.  Yeah, someone is going broke in 2010.</li>
<li>Sony brings out their new motion controller but I can&#8217;t help but notice how nervous this guy is.  It&#8217;s okay dude, you&#8217;re doing a great job.  I&#8217;m proud of him.  It&#8217;s still in prototype phase but he brings out what looks like a sextoy to demostrate what the motion controller, in conjunction with the Playstation Eyetoy, can do.  Audible Oohs when they actually see a tennis racket in the Sony staffers hand as he laughs and utters &#8220;it&#8217;s still hard&#8221; while trying to hit a virtual tennis ball.  Then they switch the tennis racket into a baseball bat and a fan and a watergun and into a sword.</li>
<li>Another demo they show is how he can interact with different shapes and objects in a 3-d space.  I&#8217;m imagining how fun it must be to play with this in Little Big Planet or a Sims game.  They also show a nice writing demo and how accurate it can be.  Spraypainting is cool because depending on how you angle your controller, it affects the thickness of your lines.  Color me impressed (This is the same art pun that I made during the Microsoft conference, btw).</li>
<li>In the back of my head, I&#8217;m just realizing that I haven&#8217;t seen God Of War III yet.  What if Sony said screw it and showed us this motion controller tech demo stuff for the rest of the show?  Riots ensue? Dogs and cats living together?  Total Anarchy?</li>
<li>Another battle scenario shows a bow and arrow demo against some slow prodding armored orcs.  The accuracy looks pretty good and the demo guy got quite a few headshots in.  There&#8217;s no announcements since, like Project Natal, it&#8217;s still in development.</li>
<li>Modnation Racers is a fully customizable cart racing game for the PS3.  It looks fun for the family and friends especially during parties (if you throw those type of parties, that is).  The designs are cute and it&#8217;s fully user generated from the cars, the racers and even the tracks.  One of the developers mention that they are harnessing all of the power of the PS3 with Modnation Racers.  I chuckle at this comment but it looks pretty good, running at 60 fps from what I&#8217;m seeing here.  You do get a feeling of speed and it looks like something I wouldn&#8217;t mind playing.  You can do a LOT with the tracks, you can change surface altitude and backgrounds and well as upload it to let people play it online.  Pretty solid presentation and the guy with the blue shirt (his name escapes me) should be hired to do more presentations.</li>
<li>FUMITO UEDA. YES. (Jizz-In-My-Pants)  Last Guardian trailer.  I&#8217;m not typing anything about it because I&#8217;m too busy rewinding it but I&#8217;ll say this:  It involves a little boy and a big animal and you know it&#8217;s going to make you cry.</li>
<li>Without a huge introduction, a teaser for Gran Tursimo 5 runs, which includes WRX and NASCAR racing (!?).  Wow.</li>
<li>The next trailer HAS to be God of War III.  As the demo starts, the first thing I notice is that Kratos hasn&#8217;t slacked off at the gym at ALL.  The first skirmish is with a gaggle of charging skeleton warriors, who are quick to be dispatched by using one of them as a battering ram.  There are some brutal moves in this game, as you may imagine and you witness the slaughter of a bunch of unarmed civilians as Kratos runs through the demo.  He disposes of a Harpy by using it as a way to get across a long chasm then he slashes at it when he gets to the other side.  Hilarious.  They show a close up of one of the Harpies and I noticed that they have C cup breasts.  Doubly hilarious.  While he battles another group of skeleton warriors, a HUGE red behemoth lurks in the background.  The scope is amazing as he&#8217;s about as large as Ares or the Colossus of Rhodes in the previous games.  After he rips a skeleton in half (which strangely still had blood to spill) a Centaur emerges from a door on the other side, flanked by a few more of the skeleton warriors.  The skeletons can bunch up on him and attempt to hold him down but Kratos, with a series of button presses, can burst from the dogpile, Matrix Reloaded style and continue decimating his opposition.  Kratos equips his lion fisted boxing gloves to punch the living crap out of everything in his way.  After he gets the prompts for the button presses, Kratos lays into the Centaur then DISEMBOWELS him.  I&#8217;ve never had such a mark out moment in this E3 than this.  Next might be even better as a Chimera attempts to gain an advantage by sneaking up behind Kratos.  First he takes off his snake tail, then stabs him in the chest repeatedly then stabs him with his own horns.  There&#8217;s an extra 20 minutes of demo gameplay on the show floor so everybody goes &#8220;AWWWW&#8221;.  I&#8217;m truly impressed and I can&#8217;t freaking wait.</li>
<li>Jack Tretton comes out and mentions that it&#8217;ll be available in 2010.  Ha Ha.  Jack says that Sony will never become complacent in their position.  That was a good one for the critics.</li>
</ul>
<p>My Thoughts</p>
<p>I&#8217;m throrougly impressed with Sony, although a majority of these games won&#8217;t be released well into 2010.  I mentioned the fact that they announced a game they couldn&#8217;t even show a screenshot or even concept art for (Agent) and that sort of annoys me.  But Sony has a strong first party lineup coming if you can wait until 2010.  The PSP Go info was leaked before time so there were no pleasant surprises there but the restructuring of Sony&#8217;s digital service seems pretty good for owners of both portable platforms.  I&#8217;m glad they spent little to no time mentioning Playstation Home, as it&#8217;s in perpetual beta until Ares knows when.  The inclusion of the Playstation 1 games on PSN is a great mention for people who want to play some of the older games.  The Uncharted 2 demo looked solid and I&#8217;m really excited for Last Guardian.  I&#8217;d have to say, Sony did good.  I came into this conference pretty pessimistic but I&#8217;m thoroughly impressed.  If they can stay on schedule with the exclusives, 2010 will be a good year for Sony, although they&#8217;d have to fight for second place again Microsoft, who&#8217;s looking to strengthen their install base as well.  Addition as of 5:16 CST:  Where was the price discussion?  Are there any price drops coming?  They never once discussed the value of the product especially considering it&#8217;s price.</p>
<p>Also: My mancrush on Jack Tretton still remains.</p>

My personal favorite:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t provide the &#8216;easy to program for&#8217; console that [developers] want, because &#8216;easy to program for&#8217; means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?&#8221; &#8211; Kaz Hirai, Sony</p></blockquote>
<p>Ha ha, you crack me up, Kazzie! Good one!<br />
The two quotes from Activision guy Bobby Kotick on the last page are also interesting, in a more serious and scary way.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Y aquí comienza la nota: Kaz Hirai, el jefe de la división de PlayStation y ordenadores Vaio de Sony]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://fanboyopolis.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/kazrollin.jpg"><img src="http://fanboyopolis.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/kazrollin.jpg?w=286" alt="kazrollin" title="kazrollin" width="286" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8913" /></a></p>
<p>Y aquí comienza la nota: <strong>Kaz Hirai</strong>, el jefe de la división de PlayStation y ordenadores Vaio de Sony, ha afirmado que <strong>es difícil programar para la consola PlayStation 3 de manera intencionada para impedir que los desarrolladores pudiesen explotar todo su potencial desde un primer momento</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>No es fácil programar para PS3. No diré que no hay límites en lo que la consola puede hacer, pero ponemos tanta profundidad en nuestras consolas que le lleva un tiempo a todo el mundo, incluso a nuestros estudios internos, explotar realmente el potencial</em>&#8220;, ha dicho Hirai en declaraciones recogidas por la revista oficial de PlayStation en su edición británica.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>No les ofrecemos la consola <strong>&#8216;fácil de programar&#8217;</strong> que quieren, porque <strong>&#8216;fácil de programar&#8217;</strong> significa que cualquiera puede aprovecharse de casi todo lo que el hardware puede hacer, así que la cuestión es qué haces durante el resto de los nueve años y medio</em>&#8220;, expone Hirai, incidiendo una vez más en la esperanza de que la consola tenga un ciclo vital de diez años.</p>
<p><strong>Mi comentario:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Ahora Resulta que desde un principio fue una estrategia para poder incrementar el tiempo de vida de la consola.  Pues yo le diría que es una estupidez esta declaración ya que los juegos de XBox 360 se ven igual que los de Playstation 3 y para cuando los desarrolladores le encuentren el modo de usar todo el potencial a la consola de sony, ya va a estar en el mercado la consola de nueva generación de Microsoft.</p>
<p>De qué te sirve vender más caro una consola de videojuegos (porque, aunque tenga bluray, compatibilidad para varios formatos de video, reproducción de musica, DVD, explorador de imagenes, navegación por internet y compatibilidad con linux, se trata de videojuegos al fin y al cabo) que se supone tiene muchísimo más potencial que la competencia si de todos modos se ven iguales y a veces mejor en el XB360 por lo mismo que es fácil de desarrollar.</p>
<p>Al fin y al cabo la opinión que más cuenta es la de todos ustedes como videojugadores porque son los que terminan consumiendo la consola de su elección.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="kazhirai0fb" src="http://casacup.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/kazhirai0fb.jpg" alt="kazhirai0fb" width="340" height="312" /></p>
<p>Per chi non lo conoscesse Kaz Hirai è l&#8217;attuale CEO Sony (non so se proprio della Sony o della sola divisione game, non so neanche se le singole divisioni abbiano un CEO, ma non importa).</p>
<p>Dichiarazioni decisamente spassose vista la situazione&#8230; Ed ho ben pensato di scrivere e pubblicare un editoriale a riguardo.</p>
<p>Editoriale in due versioni: la prima, politically correct, pubblicata sul solito cyberludus, una versione da &#8220;giornalista&#8221; (ma non oso definirmi tale); la seconda invece decisamente più appassionata, a mio giudizio rispecchiante il pensiero di tutti gli addetti ai lavori quando hanno sentito queste dichiarazioni.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Versione online: <a href="http://www.cyberludus.com/Editoriale_gennaio_" target="_blank">http://www.cyberludus.com/Editoriale_gennaio_</a></p>
<p>Ed ecco l&#8217;editoriale che avrei voluto pubblicare, e che ho giustamente autocensurato&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote><p><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0   14   false false false  IT X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &#60;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;                                                                                                                                            &#60;![endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Nel boschetto della mia fantasia c’è un fottio di animaletti un po’ matti, inventati da me che mi fanno ridere quando sono triste…” [cit. Elio e le Storie Tese].</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Probabilmente l’attuale CEO della Sony vive in quel boschetto. Signor Kaz Hirai, ma che kaz ti sei fumato?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Per chi non fosse informato ecco le dichiarazioni degli ultimi giorni:</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->“Per quanto concerne Xbox, ancora una volta, non riesco a trovare una parola che racchiuda la sua situazione. Servirebbe una parola che descriva qualcosa che manca di longevità”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->“Non abbiamo garantito una facilità di programmazione con Cell e PlayStation 3 come richiesto dagli sviluppatori, perché a nostro avviso &#8216;facilità di programmazione&#8217; equivale a sfruttare quasi immediatamente la totale potenza di un hardware, salvo poi restare senza possibilità di innovazione nei restanti nove anni e mezzo”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->“È difficile parlare di Nintendo perché non consideriamo le loro console come nostre rivali. Loro sono un altro mondo e noi operiamo nel nostro: io le cose le vedo così”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->“Siamo i leader ufficiali del mercato videoludico! Questo non è inteso in termini numerici, o in base a chi possiede la maggiore base installata, o a chi vende maggiormente in una particolare settimana o mese, <strong>ma mi piace pensare che continuiamo a rivestire il ruolo di leader dell&#8217;industria”</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Tutto, a parte forse il terzo punto, è il delirio di un uomo che, probabilmente, passa le sue giornate chiuso in una stanza guardandosi fisso allo specchio e ripetendo a mo’ di litania “siamo i migliori,<span> </span>siamo i migliori, siamo i migliori…”. Non c’è altra spiegazione.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Ma analizziamo punto per punto le dichiarazioni.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>La prima: Xbox manca di longevità. Dichiarazione che, tenuto conto che la console di casa Microsoft è uscita un anno prima (uno e mezzo in Europa), e che ha appena rinnovato la sua identità grazie alla New Xbox Experience, lascia decisamente il tempo che trova.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>La seconda: la Ps3 è difficile da programmare in modo che ci sia possibilità di crescita nell’arco di vita della console. Beh, certo, se ho una macchina da corsa in gara parto piano piano, così poi, quando mi hanno dato la paga per dieci giri, posso sorprendere tutti i miei avversari con uno scatto bruciante che mi farà arrivare non ultimo ma penultimo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Il terzo punto è forse l’unico che ha un minimo di senso. Ps3 e Wii sono in effetti prodotti dal target completamente diverso, ma di fatto parliamo comunque di competitor nello stesso mercato. Ed i dati di vendita parlano chiaro: il Wii prende a botte la Ps3 praticamente ogni mese in ogni mercato.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Ma è l’ultima dichiarazione ad essere il top del top, un qualcosa partorito dalla mente di un uomo ormai evidentemente distaccato dalla realtà da un bel pezzo. Siamo i leader, ma non in termini numerici, di base installata, o di chi vende di più.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Ok, perfetto, allora rispetto a quale parametro di valutazione siete i leader? Rispetto a chi la fa più lontano?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>Kaz, passa ‘sto cannone, voglio venire a giocare nel boschetto anche io…</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4372" title="lideramoshahaha1" src="http://continue.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/lideramoshahaha1.jpg" alt="lideramoshahaha1" width="427" height="446" /><a href="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/KazRollin.jpg"><br />
</a><a href="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/KazRollin.jpg"> </a></p>
<p>O manda-chuva  da Sony, Kaz Hirai, precisa tirar umas férias pois anda fazendo horas extras demais. E temos sinais de que o excesso de trabalho tem feito estragos em sua cabeça (ele deu para fazer piadas em vez de pronunciamentos oficiais). Sua última piadinha foi: <em>todos os números quem indicam o contrário devem ser desconsiderados e a Sony ainda é a líder da indústria de video-game</em>.</p>
<p><em><!--more--><br />
</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">É difícil falar sobre a Nintendo, porque nós não vemos o console dela como nosso competidor. Eles estão em um mundo diferente, e nós operamos em nosso mundo &#8211; é assim que eu olho as coisas. E com o Xbox &#8211; novamente, eu não consigo descrevê-lo com uma palavra. Você precisa de uma palavra que descreva algo como falta de longevidade.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Mas é claro que, a Microsoft (que nao corre de briga), respondeu logo depois:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Essa geração não vai ser liderada apenas pelas especificações de hardware, mas por aqueles que mais puderem inovar quando se trata de online e software. Este é o tipo de coisa que está em nosso DNA, e francamente move a guerra dos consoles para onde nós entendemos. Com a base instalada do Xbox 360 ultrapassando os 7 milhões de consoles, mesmo se as vendas do PS3 dobrassem e as do Xbox 360 continuassem as mesmas, ele não nos ultrapassaria antes de 2014.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">– Aaron Greenberg</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A Sony precisa mudar sua estrátegia logo, porque essa de falar que  “nós somos tão fodões que ditamos a indústria e o público que tem que se adaptar a nós” não funciona mais a muito tempo.</p>
<p>E so pra por mais lenha na fogueira, vamos ver novamente uma de suas frases <em>&#8220;É difícil falar sobre a Nintendo, porque nós não vemos o console dela como nosso competidor&#8221;</em>. Ah é? Bom senhor Kaz Hirai, você precisa comprar bons oculos urgente.</p>
<p>Não é por nada não, mas a Nintendo foi a que mais vendeu em 2008, com seus consoles Wii e DS, fora a marca que ficou pra história em Dezembro que eu expliquei <a href="http://otaviotribal.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/nintendo-vende-5-milhoes-de-consoles-em-dezembro/" target="_blank">nesse post</a>, não há mais dúvidas que a Nintendo está liderando a indústria de games, fora que, na minha opnião ela sempre foi assim. Quem até hoje não joga emuladores, ou até mesmo tem o console Snes até hoje em casa, e ama aquele jogo antigasso? Eu mesmo jogo vários snes até hoje. Sinceramente a Nintendo lidera e sempre liderou.</p>
<p>Uma salva de palmas a Nintendo, que mais uma vez <a href="http://www.ambrosia.com.br/2009/01/19/salve-o-mundo-salve-o-nintendo-wii/" target="_blank">salvou o mundo</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div>
<p>El jefazo de Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai no solo se tomo un tiempo para platicarnos de lo que viene para el PS3 sino para presumir sus nuevos artilugios. Por un lado ya saben del &#8220;Motion Controller&#8221; y que las compañias ya estan trabajando en juegos que soporte el sistema de movimiento y algunas otras trabajan en ports.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8361 aligncenter" title="ps3250bun" src="http://dominiumundi.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/ps3250bun.jpg" alt="ps3250bun" width="495" height="895" /></p>
<p>Por otro lado, anuncio que si existe el PS3 Slim de 250 GB y que será lanzado con paquetes especiales (ejem: ya veo porque Microsoft se adelanto, y quiere sacar sus XBOX 250 GB, jeje) . . . estos paquetes aun no se confirman, pero como puedes ver, el primero y mas fuerte es el que viene con Final Fantasy XIII que saldra en Japón el 17 de Diciembre en un costo aproximado de $470 USD . . . SI LEISTE BIEN $470 dolaritos. Aunque las impresiones en el TGS 2009 fueron variadas ya que unos lo catalogaron de muy femenino, y otros como un paquete excepcional. ¿tu que opinas?</p>
<p>Para finalizar les cuento que los Digital Comics iniciaran su descarga a partir de diciembre . . . te preguntas como cuales . . . si recuerdan les comente que Marvel acepto la propuesta, pero tambien en Japón habra compañias como Shonen Jump&#8217;s Shueisha, Shonen Sunday&#8217;s Shogakukan y Shonen Magazine&#8217;s Kodansha es decir, <em>Neon Genesis Evangelion</em>, <em>Lucky Star</em>, <em>Dragon Ball</em>, <em>One Piece</em>, <em>Naruto</em>, <em>Bleach</em>, <em>Death Note</em>, <em>Fullmetal Alchemist y</em> <em>Soul Eater, entre muchos mas . . . </em>MANGAS.</p>
<p>Nos espera un largo fin de año . . . ya que envidiaremos que Japón tendra algunos lanzamientos fuertes y en América deberemos esperar hasta mediados o finales del 2010.</p>

<p>Pues así es, el jueves en la mañana se abrieron las puertas para el <strong>Tokyo Game Show</strong> de este año, y pues aquí desde un lugar que no es Tokio (si, ya se, es triste) traigo los anuncios más importantes de <strong>Sony </strong>en este primer día. w007!</p>
<p>Como ya sabíamos, <strong><em>Kaz Hirai</em></strong> dio el discurso de apertura del <strong>TGS</strong>, (HAH! Take that Xbots!) ábrió el discurso recordandonos que la primer generación de <em><strong>PlayStation </strong></em>cumple 15 años y después enseñó como un video que mostraba la evolución del <strong>PSone </strong>hasta el <strong>PS3 Slim</strong>.  ¿Que sería de un discurso de alguien de la familia <strong>PS </strong>sin mencionar LittleBigPlanet? Siempre recordando por que <strong>LBP </strong>es genial, Hirai menciona que para jugar todos los niveles creados por usuarios, deberías jugar 6 horas, todos los días, por 29 años&#8230; D-e-m-o-n-i-o-s!</p>
<p>También nos habló de lo bien que le ha ido al <strong>PS3</strong>, y que una de las más grandes razones es el precio (1,000,000 de unidades en 3 semanas!). Pero en mi opinión, yo no creo que le &#8220;fue bien&#8221; sólo por el precio, sino también por los buenos títulos por estrenarse como <strong>GT5, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2</strong> y claro, <strong>God Of War III</strong>.</p>
<p>Después de otros videos, compuestos de trailers que llevamos viendo desde la <strong>E3</strong>, era hora de que Kaz sacara su varita (HAH!)&#8230; Así es, era tiempo de mostrar el <strong><em>PS Motion Controller</em></strong>! Lo puso a prueba primero cambiando una bolita rosa a otro color como verde. (He aquí otro momento clásico del Sr. Hirai&#8230; silencio en la sala. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCli0xegZ-o" target="_blank">RIIIIIDGE RACEEER!</a>) Ya después explicaba que capturaba absolutamente la posición del jugador, aún así si el usuario decide jugar con los brazos arriba de la cabeza (WTF!?) o con los brazos frente a él (Well&#8230; BAM! There it is!). El <em><strong>Motion Controller</strong></em> cuenta con motores de vibración ligera y estará disponible para el periodo primaveral del próximo año.</p>
<p>Continuó su discurso &#8220;anunciando&#8221; la fecha de salida del <strong>PSP-Go</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>01/10 &#8211; Estados Unidos y Europa</li>
<li>01/11 &#8211; Japón</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230;También habló de como el <strong>PS2 </strong>sigue vendiendo bien (Kaz is SOOO last gen!).</p>
<p>Después Hirai-San contestó algunas preguntas a una señora japonesa y eso. Hablarón de estas nuevas <strong>3DTV</strong>&#8217;s y que serían buenas para cualquier forma de entretenimiento en pantalla.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 493px"><img title="kaz hirai" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/kaz-hirai580pximg.jpg" alt="Heil Hirai!" width="483" height="291" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Heil Hirai!</p></div>
<p>La señora japonesa después le preguntó a <strong><em>Mein Führer </em></strong>(Kaz Hirai) sobre su varita, a lo que creo que contestó con incoherencias, hablando sobre como  el <em><strong>Motion Controller</strong></em> abre puertas para la evolución, sobre controladores con sensores de temperatura y sudor ( :S), para medir emociones. Y después continuó diciendo que antes la conectividad en los videojuegos era algo lindo, pero que ahora es una necesidad&#8230; y se pusó a hablar de <strong>LittleBigPlanet</strong>&#8230; de nuevo.</p>
<p>Kaz se emocionó y siguió chachareando sobre la conectividad y como es cool yada yada yada yada&#8230; cierra su speech con &#8220;Esta es la era de la conectividad&#8221;.</p>
<p>El discurso de Kaz Hirai fue patrocinado por la revista &#8220;NETWORKING&#8221;! (&#8230;NOT!)</p>
<p>Vamos a lo bueno, a la conferencia de <em><strong>SCEJ </strong></em>(Sony Computer Entertainment Japan) presentada por Shawn Layden.</p>
<p>Empezarón hablando de <strong>Gran Turismo</strong> para <strong>PSP </strong>y del bundle que Sony junto con el juego. También hablaron de su hermano mayor para <strong>PS3</strong>, <strong>Gran Turismo 5</strong>, anunciando OTRO release date, ahora hasta &#8220;Marzo 2010&#8243;.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 409px"><img title="GTM" src="http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/2009/08/05/gran_turismo_psp_screen.jpg" alt="Gran Turismo Mobile" width="399" height="226" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gran Turismo Mobile</p></div>
<p>Continuarón revelando el bundle que harán del <strong>PSP-3000 </strong>y <strong>Winning Eleven UEFA</strong>.</p>
<p>Al carajo con el PSP, sube al escenario Yoshinori Kitase a dar detalles del bundle de <strong>Final Fantasy XIII</strong>, le pusieron el nombre de &#8220;<strong>Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Bundle Edition</strong>&#8220;, la consola vendrá equipada con un disco duro de 250 Gb.  Se presentará en una edición especial blanca con dibujo de <em>Lightning </em>como en un color entre rosa y rojo. Sexy!. El señor Kitase se despidió anunciando que <em>Final Fantasy VIII </em>se encontraría disponible esa misma noche en la Playstation Store. <span style="color:#888888;">( Edit by Sama: Yo quierooooooooooooooooooo !!! )</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 468px"><img title="FFXIIBNDL" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20090924/250gb_550x380.jpg" alt="She is beautiful!" width="458" height="316" /><p class="wp-caption-text">She is beautiful!</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 509px"><img title="re5" src="http://www.ps3rules.com/ps3-images/ps3-screenshots/residentevil1.jpg" alt="Have you ever wondered what the bottom of a zombie-killing agent looks like?" width="499" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Have you ever wondered what the bottom of a zombie-killing agent looks like?</p></div>
<p>NEEEEXT! Se dan mas detalles sobre el motion controller y por primera vez se probó en público con un juego. Se trata de CHAN &#8220;&#62;CHAN CHARAAAN CHAN CHAN CHAN CHAAAAN&#8230;. <strong>Resident Evil 5</strong> de <em><strong>Capcom</strong></em>!</p>
<p>Así es se relanzará <strong>Resident Evil 5</strong>, pero ahora con un nombre un poco distinto: &#8220;<strong><em>Resident Evil 5 Alternate Edition</em></strong>&#8220;, el juego en sí es lo mismo, lo que cambia, obviamente, son los controles. En una mano tendrás el motion controller y en la otra tu <strong>DUALSHOCK 3</strong>. Aparte de eso, la nueva edición del juego también tiene mucho material extra, que será explicado con más detalle en la conferencia de <em><strong>Capcom</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Otro título que se modificará para este nuevo estilo de gameplay es <strong>LittleBigPlanet</strong>, el cuál sé presentó con dos jugadores. Uno jugando &#8220;normalmente&#8221; con el DUALSHOCK 3 y la otra persona jugando con el motion controller, como un tipo cursor para interactuar directamente con el juego moviendo las plataformas y escenarios.</p>
<p>Después se presentó una gran lista con títulos que tendrán sus versiones alternativas para jugar con el nuevo gadget de SCE, donde se incluyeron estos títulos:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ape Escape</li>
<li>Echochrome</li>
<li>Sing and Draw</li>
<li>Machi Suberi</li>
<li>Champions of Time</li>
<li>Motion Party</li>
<li>The Shoot</li>
<li>Tower</li>
</ul>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 426px"><img title="mtnctrl" src="http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/106536_sony-motion.jpg" alt="PS Eye &#38; PS Motion Controller" width="416" height="318" /><p class="wp-caption-text">PS Eye &#38; PS Motion Controller</p></div>
<p><strong>Sony </strong>se guardó su varita para seguir con la conferencia y anunciar un título, se trató de la secuela <strong>White Knight Chronicles</strong>, lo que a mi me parece frustrante, por que la primera parte de este esperado <strong>RPG </strong>todavía no pisa suelos americanos y no lo hará hasta Q1 2010! y el público nipón ya espera una secuela&#8230;</p>
<p>La última parte de la conferencia abarcó todo lo que es <strong>Playstation Network</strong>. Primero se reveló que hay más de 3 millones de usuarios activos en <strong>PSN </strong>Japón, 800,000 cuentas registradas en <strong>Mainichi Issyo </strong>(la aplicación esa como de noticias donde sale Toro) y más de 800, 000 usuarios activos en <strong>Playstation Home, </strong>que pronto se actualizará el beta a la versión 1.3 dónde se incluirán objetos nuevos como cámaras y esas cosas (esto ya se había anunciando hace unas cuantas semanas en el Playstation Blog de Estados Unidos).</p>
<p>Se anunció (al fin) el servicio de películas en Japón, o sea ya había servicio de video en PSN pero está cargado de puro anime, más y más anime, pero ahora contarán con títulos reconocidos de Hollywood como <strong>Terminator 4, Ocean&#8217;s 13</strong>, yada yada yada yada.</p>
<p>Para finalizar, nos actualizaron con la aplicacion &#8220;<em><strong>Comic for Playsation Portable</strong></em>&#8220;, estará disponible en Japón en Diciembre de este año y cuenta con más de 100 títulos para estrenar el servicio. Entre ellos están:</p>
<ul>
<li>Soul Eater</li>
<li>Fullmetal Alchemist</li>
<li>Dragon Ball</li>
<li>Bleach</li>
<li>Keroro</li>
<li>Evangelion <em>(to Sama: HAH!)</em></li>
<li>Hayate no Gotoku</li>
<li>Conan</li>
<li>Love Hina</li>
<li>Nodame&#8230; <em>yada yada yada yada.</em></li>
</ul>
<p>El servicio de comics sigue siendo exclusivo para <strong>PSP</strong>.</p>
<p>Con esto termino mi primer post sobre <strong>TGS 09</strong>. Estaré escribiendo más cosas sobre juegos y las conferencias de algunas compañías.</p>

<description><![CDATA[el PS3 Slim es lo de hoy ! A continuacion una bonita entrevista que le hizo el corresponsal de ILPS ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/pics5/kaz_hirai-2.jpg" alt="el PS3 Slim es lo de hoy !" width="400" height="560" /><p class="wp-caption-text">el PS3 Slim es lo de hoy !</p></div>
<p>A continuacion una bonita entrevista que le hizo el corresponsal de ILPS en Alemania:</p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Por que un nuevo <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">PS3</span></strong> en este momento?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> bueno, se acerca nuestro tercer aniversario en Japon y America, y creemos que es un buen momento de aprovechar los beneficios que hemos logrado al reducir el numero de componentes y su tamaño. Quisimos pasar ese beneficio a los consumidores con una baja de precio, asimismo, creemos que es un gran momento considerando los grandiosos titulos que se acercan.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Ventas del PS3:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> El nuevo aparato significa admitir que al PS3 gordito no le fue bien en ventas?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> Si ves el crecimiento de nuestra base instalada, notaras que es mas lento que lo que paso con el PS2, pero se parece mucho a lo que tuvimos con el PS1. Y nosotros vemos que el ciclo de nuestro producto y negocio sea de al menos 10 años, por lo que es dificil saber si nuestra plataforma es o no un éxito a 3 años de su lanzamiento. El 5º aniversario y más allá servirá para ver cómo será su trayectoria.</p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> en retrospectiva, te hubiera gustado meterle menos cosas al PS3 gordito?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> Creo que con el avance de la tecnologia, el PS3 gordito no nos hubiera dado para un ciclo de 10 años, sin embargo, creo que con todo lo que se le pudo meter, fuimos capaces de asegurar que podemos sacar provecho de los servicios que estamos ofrciendo. Esas cosas no serian posibles si no le hubieramos metido tantas capacidades a la plataforma.</p>
<p><strong>Problemas de identidad  :0</strong></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Una persona de marketing me dijo que lo mas dificil de vender es una navaja suiza, por que hace todo. Tu crees que eso pase con el PS3?</p>
<p><strong>Kas:</strong> Exacto, eso fue cuestion de marketing más que ninguna otra cosa. Cuando regresé a Japón en Noviembre de 2006, lo primero que hice fue decir que el PS3 es antes que nada una consola de juegos, antes de hablar de todo lo que podía hacer. Creo que el PS3 tenía algunos problemas de identidad. (aqui es donde dijimos:  oooh, que fuertes declaraciones)</p>
<p>Creo que hicimos un buen trabajo enfocandonos en los asombrosos juegos que estaban por salir, despues nos enfocamos en las cosas que no eran juegos, como la renta de peliculas, pero no tiene sentido si no decimos que antes que eso es una gran consola de videojuegos.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Sony seguirá perdiendo?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Es bien sabido que Sony pierde dinero con cada PS3 vendido. Sucedera lo mismo con el PS3 Slim?</p>
<p><strong>Kas:</strong> Si hablas solo del hardware, la respuesta rapida es: sí. Eso es un buen encabezado, pero creo que hay que ver al negocio como una pataforma en su conjunto y decir: eres confiable en hardware, software y perifericos? y la respuesta es sí, en términos generales en el ultimo año fiscal.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>No mas Spiderman?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Hablando de diseño, veo que han abandonado el tipo de letra de Spiderman</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> Queremos una nueva direccion para esta consola, el logo con la P mayuscula y la S minuscula siempre ha sido nuestro logo, es un sinonimo de videojuegos y queria resetear esa idea. Tambien quiero dar a entender que estamos reseteando nuestro pensamiento, regresar a nuestras raíces, que mejor que reseteando nuestro logo? Además, poner &#8220;Playstation 3&#8243; en la publicidad, quedan letras pequeñas, esto no pasa al poner PS3.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Que piensa Kaz de Nintendo?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Mientras tanto, Nintendo ha popularizado los videojuegos, ya ves que hasta los ruquitos lo juegan.</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> Es una observación muy astuta, pero en la historia no es así. El PS2 sigue siendo la consola más exitosa, creo que es la consola que realmente rompió la barrera de que las consolas solo son para gamers, obviamente Nintendo hizo un buen trabajo en continuar con esa masa de aceptación. (aqui vovlimos a decir: OMFG !)</p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Pero hay una nueva raza de gamers, como le van a hacer para cautivarlos a ellos tambien?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> Primero dejando claro que el PS3 es ante todo una consola de videojuegos, ya que tienes una buena base instalada, no puedes decir &#8220;bueno, ya no voy a hacer juegos hardcore&#8221;  los vas a perder, perderás a todos los fundadores. Un buen ejemplo es God of War, vamos a seguir haciendo ese tipo de juegos. Por otro lado, Singstar es un buen ejemplo de juegos familiares.</p>
<p>Como numero 2, creo que la accesibilidad a la PS Network y todo el contenido que ofrecemos y ofreceremos en el futuro, la gente se dara cuenta de que es una gran consola por todas las otras cosas que ofrece, es una buena entrada para que mas gente se haga con un PS3, y ya que lo tiene, por que no probar con videojuegos (-se supone que eso pensarán, lo dijo Kaz-)</p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Que onda con la varita magica?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> espero que la tengamos para la primavera del 2010, no queremos tirar el control, necesitamos de un buen software que controle esta tecnologia en su lanzamiento, es algo en lo que hemos trabajado por mucho tiempo.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Que pex con el futuro del UMD y Blu Ray?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>ILPS:</strong> Finalmente, ahora con la salida proxima del PSP Go, que no empleará UMD, crees que los formatos como el DVD e incluso el Blu Ray tienen poco tiempo de vida?</p>
<p><strong>Kaz:</strong> (gruñendo: aaah pero que preguntones) No, tal vez tengamos que acomodarnos tres años y echarnos una chela mientras el PS3 descarga un juego completo de 40GB. Falta mucho para eso, tenemos presencia en 100 paises y en muchos de ellos (como el tuyo, jodido) no tienen aun las velocidades de banda ancha, que tenemos nosotros. Estamos comprometidos con el PSP 3000 y el UMD, no vamos a dejar desamparados a esos paises.</p>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>Tambien aprovechó el espacio para anunciar su linea de playeras:</p>

<description><![CDATA[Deberían de llamarlo &quot;Dolly Motion Controller&quot; LOL! Kaz Hirai, presidente de Playstation, ]]></description>

<p><strong>Kaz Hirai</strong>, presidente de Playstation, ha confirmado que la tecnología de control por movimiento de <strong>Sony</strong>, llamada <strong><em>motion controller</em> (Dolly)</strong>, será lanzada durante&#8230;<!--more--> la primavera del 2010.</p>
<p>Hirai reveló esta fecha aproximada durante la GamesCom, explicando además que <strong>están trabajando para apoyar su llegada al mercado con un buen catálogo de juegos.</strong></p>
<p>Al parecer <strong>Sony</strong> ya empieza a planear las cosas antes de abrir<span style="text-decoration:line-through;"> el hocico</span> la boca y tiene bien en cuenta que no por sacar un control &#8220;innovador&#8221; se venderá por sí solo, está tomando muy en cuenta que debe de ir de la mano de un buen juego (<strong>Sony Sports?</strong>).</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Lo tenemos previsto (el motion controller) para primavera del próximo año&#8221;- declaró <strong>Hirai</strong> a <a href="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6808050.ece" target="_blank">The Times</a>-</em><em>&#8220;.  &#8220;Una de las cosas que tenemos en cuenta es que no queremos sólo poner ahí fuera el mando. Necesitamos un gran software que apoye su lanzamiento. Es algo en lo que <strong>hemos estado trabajando durante mucho tiempo</strong>.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>Según reveló <strong>Sony</strong> durante la conferencia que ofreció la semana pasada en Colonia, mostrarán de forma más detallada cómo funciona esta tecnología durante la próxima gran feria de los videojuegos, el <strong>Tokio Game Show</strong>.   Así que esperen hasta septiembre para ver como funciona &#8220;La varita mágica de Sony&#8221;.</p>
<p>En lo personal, no me llama nadita la atención está tecnología, ni la de <strong>Project Natal</strong> cabe aclarar.   Faltaría poner bien en claro las aplicaciones en juegos.   Me sigo quedando con aquel bosquejo del <strong>DualShock</strong> que se partía en 2.</p>

<strong>(Credit: Sony)</strong></p>
<p>Sony on Tuesday finally took the lid off the can for much-rumored PS3 Slim and gave it the more affordable $299 price tag consumers have been clamoring for. </p>
<p>Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai performed the unveiling at a press conference in Cologne, Germany, preceding the opening of the Gamescom Expo. He took the stage and announced the PS3 was &#8220;getting a new model&#8221; and that, indeed, it was called the PS3 Slim. </p>
<p>The Slim is hitting stores on September 1 in North America and Europe and It will cost $299 (or for those who live in regions, 299 euros or 29,980 yen). Hirai says the device has the same features and functions as the &#8220;old&#8221; PS3 but is 33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter, and comes with a 120GB hard drive. (See photo comparison <a href="http://hollywoodstech.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=642">here</a>).</p>
<p>Sony says that to achieve the new form factor, the internal design architecture of the new PS3 system has been completely redesigned&#8211;&#8221;from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism.&#8221;</p>
<p>The PS3 Slim is powered by a new 45nm version of the Cell processor, which runs at the same speed as the 60nm processor in the &#8220;old&#8221; PS3 but is smaller and more energy efficient. According to company reps, power consumption for the Slim has also been cut to two-thirds, &#8220;helping to reduce fan noise,&#8221; which is important. </p>
<p>On the cosmetic front, this model has a textured surface finish that gives the PS3 a fresh, casual look that the company hopes will make it more appealing to a wider audience (read: casual gamers). As previously rumored, the PS3 logo has undergone a redesign and Sony&#8217;s changing the PS3 brand name from &#8220;PLAYSTATION 3&#8243; to &#8220;PlayStation 3&#8243; (we&#8217;ve actually been calling it the PlayStation 3 for a while).</p>
<p>Like the 80GB and 160GB models, the 120GB PS3 Slim has built-in Wi-Fi and two USB ports (sorry, Sony didn&#8217;t add IR or backwards compatibility for PS2 games). You can also upgrade/replace the hard drive without voiding the warranty, though Sony has moved the hard drive from the side of the unit to the front for &#8220;easier access.&#8221; (To remove the hard drive, you simply unscrew two screws). The one feature missing from the Slim is the ability to install another operating system (i.e., Linux)&#8211;Sony is doing away with that feature.</p>
<p>With earlier PS3s, you could prop your unit up vertically or lay it down horizontally. Out of the box, the Slim is only designed to be used in a horizontal position, but Sony will sell a $24 stand that allows you to stand it up vertically.</p>
<p>In making the move to the PS3 Slim, Sony will be upgrading the <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10312409-1.html">firmware to 3.00</a> and phasing out its legacy 80GB and 160GB models, selling them for $299 and $399 respectively.</p>
<p>John Koller, director of hardware marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America, says they&#8217;ve been able to run down inventory of older models, but he didn&#8217;t have the best answer as to why someone would buy an old 80GB model over the new 120GB Slim. &#8220;Some people want a unit right away and they may like the look of the old unit,&#8221; he said. &#8220;People will have their reasons for wanting one.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;re expecting our review sample to arrive tomorrow. But GameSpot&#8217;s Ricardo Torres and Sarju Shah were lucky enough to already get a Slim. Here&#8217;s their video first look and Chris over at ign.com (2 Videos) OMG!!!</p>
