> Playstation 3 Features & Games

PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system combines state-of-the-art technologies featuring Cell, a processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba Corporation, graphics processor (RSX) co-developed by NVIDIA Corporation and SCEI, and XDR memory developed by Rambus Inc. It also adopts BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc ROM) with maximum storage capacity of 54 GB (dual layer), enabling delivery of entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality, under a secure environment made possiblethrough the most advanced copyright protection technology. To match the accelerating convergence of digital consumer electronics and computer technology, PS3 supports high quality display in resolution of 1080p(*) as standard, which is far superior to 720p/1080i.
Playstation 3 Technology

With an overwhelming computing power of 2 teraflops, entirely new graphical expressions that have never been seen before will become possible. In games, not only will movement of characters and objects be far more refined and realistic, but landscapes and virtual worlds can also be rendered in real-time, thereby elevating the freedom of graphics expression to levels not experienced in the past. Gamers will literally be able to dive into the realistic world seen in large screen movies and experience the excitement in real-time.

In 1994, SCEI launched the original PlayStation® (PS), followed by PlayStation®2 (PS2) in 2000 and PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) in 2004, every time introducing the latest advancement in technology and bringing innovation to interactive entertainment software creation. Over 13,000 titles have been developed by now, creating a software market that sells more than 250 million copies annually. PS3 offers backward compatibility enabling gamers to enjoy these enormous assets from PS and PS2 platforms.

With the delivery of Cell based development tools that has already begun, development of game titles as well as tools and middleware are in progress. Through collaboration with world’s leading tools and middleware companies, SCEI will offer full support to new content creation by providing developers with extensive tools and libraries that will bring out the power of the Cell processor and enable efficient software development.

Preparations are under way for launch of PS3 and new generation software in the spring of 2006.

(*)1080p/720p/1080i: “p” stands for progressive scan method, “i” stands for interlace method. 1080p is the highest resolution within the HD standard.

Nintendo Revolution

Posted Image

(Yes thats it just a black box)

e've stumbled out into the morning sunlight of Hollywood Boulevard with a strangely empty feeling following Nintendo's pre-E3 conference.

Aside from the announcement of Game Boy Micro (click here to read our live coverage of it being unveiled), there was little at the event that we didn't already know or hadn't already seen.

The main draw, of course, was the official unveiling of Revolution - which has now been confirmed as the final name of the machine and not just a work-in-progress codename. However, Nintendo added little to what we uncovered earlier today - click here to read the details that have been released so far of the machine's specs.

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata did reveal though that the Revolution shots we've already seen are just of the prototype version and that the final console will be smaller still. He also said that a final colour hadn't yet been decided - so it won't necessarily be the shiny black we've seen.

Revolution games will be housed on 12cm optical discs and the machine will also play DVDs (for which you'll need to buy a special attachment) and Gamecube titles. Memory comes in the form of 512MB of on-board flash memory, while there will be the option to buy additional SD memory cards.

As has been widely known for some time, the controllers will be wireless, although there was no sign of them at the conference.

Meanwhile Ninty is finally getting involved with online gaming and is already working on "several" WiFi games, although only Smash Bros (which will be a launch title) and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles were named.

Other, offline, games being worked on include - unsurprisingly enough - next-gen versions of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Metroid.

Revolution, said Iwata, will "appeal to every member of the household, whether they consider themselves gamers or not". To that end, Revolution will also be what Iwata called a "virtual console" capable of downloading 20 years worth of Nintendo content, which covers games that first appeared on NES, SNES and N64.

Essentially, Revolution won't be anywhere near as powerful as PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 but it will be a lot cheaper and - hopes Nintendo - a lot more accessible. It'll go on sale some time next year.

And with that, we're off to interview Shigeru Miyamoto. Loads more Ninty coverage and footage coming soon.

FINAL RATING: 7.5/10

The PS3's fake. The Xbox 360 and Revolution are real, and I dunno about the Micro thing.

In fact all of those are released from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
