The official TGS 2006 thread...

Hey check this out:

21:34.26 -
He's talking about a system called GMS - Global Mapping System - which will allow users to upload their own pictures and data of the world around them, and create a detailed view of the world in that way.

I think this sounds a little bit like one was explaining a lil bit ago? or no?

With GMS, developers will no longer have to collect landscape data "on foot", and can focus on the creative or artistic side of game creation.

Some kind of tool for developers too it seems.

If you're wondering when Ken is actually planning on talking about games or anything remotely concrete or relevant to gamers, developers or anyone else - so are we!



Lol!:D
I think Ken has reached a new personal level of "deepnes" with his visions. . .;-)
 
However, recently we've seen a polarisation of what sells and what doesn't sell in games.

My god what about the gad damn ps3 !!
 
I wonder when we're going to get to the "game portion" of the conference... I mean, I know they showed videos at the beginning but... since then there's been nothing.

Apparently users will also be able to upload their own content and give new ideas to game developers, which will drive innovation. My eyebrow is most of the way to my hairline.


CRINGE !! oh dear !!
 
Worst keynote ever. Since... Ever.

The keynote did put the IRC chan to sleep...

Next ridiculously long-winded question - is grid computing just a dream at the moment, or is it something Ken believes can become a reality? Ken is talking about how when he was a child, he had many dreams. It's beautiful. On the other hand, this would probably be a tougher interview if they'd got Kutaragi's mum to ask the questions, frankly.


*CRINGE*

Im sorry that im not adding any value to this thread currently, but I really cannot help my reaction to this speech !!
 
7:22: A question on why HDMI only is in the high level version of the PS3 only. Kutaragi explained that if they put the HDMI in the lower version, they were worried that some would complain about having something they don't want. However, HDMI penetration has come faster than expected, Kutaragi says. He asks if people want HDMI in all models. Everyone in the audience say yes. He then confirms that all models, including the 20 gig version, will have an HDMI port.

7:25: Now a question on the price. Kutaragi says the Japanese media and retailers have complained about the cost of the system. He then confirms that the price for the 20 gig model in Japan will, including tax, now be below 50,000 yen ($427). This model will include the HDMI port. He doesn't give the exact price.

Wonder if that's true?

Is seems they only are changing things up for Japan. Wii must have them rethinking things...

I'd prefer the change is global.

unless ken really believes that
"when Sony announced the price in America, everyone thought that it was really cheap given the functionality of the console"
and
"In Europe, meanwhile, it's very expensive because... Er... Apparently it's expensive because the Euro exchange rate is so different to what it used to be, when it was one Euro to one Dollar, but European people don't notice that."

hillarious coverage from eurogamer.
