Th...Interestingly, the article is no longer online. The site owners have removed it permanently, a brief statement explaining their action will follow. For archive purposes, here is the article in full:<BR/><BR/><I>I’ve spent some time the past year developing for the PS3. Actually it was a cinematic demo to be shown at e3 in 2005 at a closed door viewing. I was one of the few artists selected to work on it for the demo. My job was primarily asset creation. I was creating assets to populate the path where our camera would be flying during the demo. The company I work for is also working on a launch title that I am quite familiar with. In short, I’ve spent some time around the PS3 and or the teams developing for it.<BR/><BR/>I’ve really had to sit here and think for a long time about what my first comment about the PS3 would be. Will I say, its GREAT or will I give it two thumbs down. Well my immediate impression of the PS3 is…where is it? Seriously, where is it? They have a case, a controller and a dev kit. But the system still doesn’t even exist. So what is there to say? We received one of 5 PS3 dev kits in the United States some time ago. Several companies in the US as well as companies over seas were given the daunting task of creating a demo in less than 9 weeks on a first generation dev kit. Now I’ll be honest with you. What most companies do is fake the entire demo. I mean they come up with some great visuals and neat tricks and scripted events. In the end however, its not a real time demo and its not running ON the actual box. We were the only company to my knowledge that showed something that ran it live on the box. Even then it was a scripted event. You could not pause the camera and fly around the scene. So if you saw the demo once, you saw it again the exact same way the second time. Also this was on a brutally early dev box. You could always tell where the PS3 dev box was because it’s the room that had the f-bomb coming out of it half the day.<BR/><BR/>Lots of time has passed since that demo and the dev box has gone from a totally jimmy rigged computer and box of parts about the size of a small child, to a much more realistic size. Although its still the size of a normal pc. I have been pretty excited about the whole cell processing thing. I am not a very technical person but my understanding of it was pretty clear. (Multiple processors to handle individual events in parallel). Sounds pretty good to me! To hear people talk, you’d thing that a processor revolution was about to happen. So I’ve been pretty excited to say the least. Now in my opinion it doesn’t matter how good the PS3 is. If the XBOX 360 is better, then it doesn’t really matter how the cell processors work or how good they say it is. Realistically one of them will be better over all. Now I’ve spoken with people who are on the technical side of the PS3. I’ve also talked with people on the technical side of the XBOX 360. The consistent comment I am hearing from people on my end is, “The XBOX 360 is better”. They are saying that it is capable of just doing more. (shrugs) Now take that for what its worth. If you watch all the videos on the PS3 they will say how much more powerful it is than the XBOX and vice versa. Im just telling you what I am hearing. They proceeded to go into a lot of technical info that I don’t understand. So I just nod.<BR/><BR/>The game that we are creating for a launch title is a “just get it out” title in my opinion. It doesn’t look next generation. I don’t see how anyone could debate otherwise. It looks good. But it looks good for a game that has come out in the last couple years or so. I mean we are talking about a box that will be with us for the next 5+ years! In 5 years will the games we are making today look good? The only way for that to be possible is if the new games coming out for the PS3 are drastically improved. So good that they can stand the test of time until the next system comes out. We’ve all seen Gears of War for the xbox 360. If that even looks half as good when it comes out then I’ll be floored! The game we are making isn’t even in the same league as Gears of War. In fact there are many current games out that look just as good and are using the exact same specs. So, on our end we are either not pushing the bar or were just trying to “get a title out”. To be fair, this is a business. Sometimes you have to treat it as a business and not make the best title you can. The best title you can make usually costs 20-40million dollars/3 start overs and 4 years of your life. You just cant do that every time out. Its impossible. Our game just keeps getting moved back….and back…..and back…..and back. Again, where is the box? Where is the final system? When is it coming out? No one knows and in the mean time people in the industry are starting to get just a little salty. I mean I was at e3 2005 and PS3 was almost no where to be seen.<BR/><BR/>In closing, I started of VERY excited about the PS3. I was very confident that it was going to just destroy the XBOX 360 just on the name SONY alone. The more time that goes by the more I am becoming doubtful. Everything I’ve developed or seen developed has yet to be “next gen”. The poly counts are not really any higher, im not seeing sub surface scattering, im not seeing much HDR lighting. (or they are faking it and not really doing it), I’m not seeing next gen fluid dynamics or object dynamics. I suspect that you’ll be able to have more dynamic objects in a scene than before. But im not seeing games doing this yet. We dont have a controller, there is no network code and there is no box. Its still the size of a normal PC. Oh well, at least they have normal maps. Although I’m over the normal maps fad ok everyone!<BR/><BR/>I’m confident that the PS3 will have a few “crazy” games that show it off to its potential. But I would expect the full capabilities of the box to not show up until the system has been released PUBLICALLY for over a year. This is the extra time the developers will need with a FINAL system to truly make next gen games.</I><BR/><BR/>I will post their statement here once it is online.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136975501681261312006-01-11T11:31:00.000+01:002006-01-11T11:31:00.000+01:00Hi Carlos.

Merrick was often quoted about many revealing elements dealing with Nintendo's hardware, and as of late, with the Nintendo DS and the upcoming Nintendo Revolution.<BR/><BR/>Unexpected news... <BR/><BR/>Also<BR/><BR/> This is in response to Nintendo's recent "shoot-down" of NGC's claim that Zelda will be compatible with the Revolution controller.<BR/><BR/> [EDIT] Nintendo's Official Statement: "The article in the January edition of NGC Magazine is pure speculation.<BR/><BR/> "Nintendo have made no new announcements regarding The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We can however confirm that the game is still in development and that it will launch on Nintendo GameCube in 2006."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Apparently, NGC spoke with a senior Nintendo rep about it. NGC thinks Nintendo's simply covering their asses, and trying to put the idea back under wraps until E3. (It would ruin the surprise quite a bit, I guess.)<BR/><BR/>NGC says to "read between the lines" regarding Nintendo's rebuttal. It is indeed sort of odd that it wasn't a complete denial, but rather a "that's just speculation" defense. Interesting...<BR/><BR/>Read on -- Here's to hoping it's legit!<BR/><BR/><BR/>PRESS START EXCLUSIVE - NGC respond to Nintendo's Zelda denial<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> NGC magazine today strongly denied the recent claims that their exclusive revelations about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess were mere speculation.<BR/><BR/> The unofficial Nintendo mag (heartily recommended by Press Start Online) had claimed that a senior source at Nintendo let slip that "Twilight Princess will be playable on the forthcoming Revolution using the upcoming console's unique controller. When you insert the disc into your Revolution, you'll be given the option to use the Revolution's controller, with all the advantages this will bring."<BR/><BR/> This was countered by Nintendo, who told the website Eurogamer: "The article in the January edition of NGC Magazine is pure speculation. Nintendo have made no new announcements regarding The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We can however confirm that the game is still in development and that it will launch on Nintendo GameCube in 2006."<BR/><BR/> Speaking to Mike and Chris, Martin Kitts claimed: "The news came from somebody senior at Nintendo who, admittedly, probably shouldn't have let it slip before E3. But they did, and we would have been crazy not to print it. Next thing you know, instead of a brilliant news exclusive, we've got somebody else at Nintendo issuing a carefully worded non-denial, and various sites that specialise in rumours are telling the world that NGC is not to be trusted. So to clear things up, that news piece wasn't a load of bull - it's direct from the people who are making the game."<BR/><BR/> So there you have it. Indeed, if you read the Nintendo comment, there's no flat out denial there. Reading between the lines, it seems they're being cautious not to completely write off the NGC story, which certainly suggests to us that there's some truth in the mag's exclusive.<BR/><BR/> More news on this when we get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136968359191207142006-01-11T09:32:00.000+01:002006-01-11T09:32:00.000+01:00In relation to Merrick, It's a pity the entire cre...In relation to Merrick, It's a pity the entire crew of Nintendo Australia dont follow suit & quit their jobs as well.RGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390159299055858605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136968248477637442006-01-11T09:30:00.000+01:002006-01-11T09:30:00.000+01:00Darth Vader, the PS pad is not a very good control...Darth Vader, the PS pad is not a very good controller IMO.

Don´t get me wrong, I agree with you on giving Sony credit for a lot of good games. But I just don´t think their games will cut it for the casual gamers as much as Nintendo´s, once other incentives to buy a PlayStation (DVD playback) no longer apply like the did in the past. Also, all but two exclusives you named were third party exclusives. Those franchises (MGS, GTA, FF, Dragon Quest) will be the first to jump ship, should the new Sony console not perform.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136941040514987242006-01-11T01:57:00.000+01:002006-01-11T01:57:00.000+01:00One important difference between the PS2 to PS3 wi...One important difference between the PS2 to PS3 with respect to programming is that there is already an open SDK available to learn to program the Cell.<BR/><BR/>http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/topics/cell<BR/><BR/>Anyone can download this for free, install it under a free operating system (Redhat/Fedora Core 4) and get started with Cell development.

But I really can't understand how people think Sony will come in no. 3 or the PS3 will flop next gen. Do the people who say shit (can I say shit?) like this play the playstations exclusives? I don't usually use that 'you're not much of a gamer if you haven't played ...' line, but in the case of Sony and the Playstation... I can make an exception... seriousely, who hasn't played the final fantasy or GTA games? The dragon quests, Tekkens and Gran Turismos? Metal gear solid? C'mon playstation is home to some of the biggest games industry franchises to date. Just as... Nintendo is home to them as well -- and you're not much of a gamer if you don't play theirs exclusives either, hey... guess I do throw that line around afterall. In that respect, I respect the Playstation and what it has done for gaming and how it expanded the core audience, I think without Sony, gaming wouldn't have become as mainstream as it is, any gamer no matter what his console preference is, should at least appreciate that.. But no, the fanboys (nintendo) are always bitter, about the same old bullshit, are'nt you?... They stole Nintendos ideas Wah! Wah! Wyaaahhhh! These people are long overdue for a reality check. Understand business, no great idea can stay exclusive forever, and if Nintendo truely created anything why don't they sue Sony and MS? And why don't Sony pay them to use the ideas? Because Nintendo didn't invent the ideas, they only perfected what was already there, you can't invent a shoulder button without creating a button first just as you can't invent an analog control device without copying joysticks. Nintendo were the first to put an anlog thumb stick on a gamepad but Sony perfected it by putting two analogs, with one for aiming, and clickable sticks for zooming in 3D space. Anyway I'm purposefully rambling because I'm bored, I'm not gonna justify you with a witty ending or conclusion, I'll just cut it here... choke on my text.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136936264041331162006-01-11T00:37:00.000+01:002006-01-11T00:37:00.000+01:00Interesting.

He told me that Josh Robinson is still with SOE and still working on a PS3 project (which, obviously, cannot be named). He is a 3D designer and, as part of a development team, works alongside programmers. They are still working on PS3 development kits and the article´s content are all still valid.<BR/><BR/>Asked why Josh was prepared to speak so bluntly about the PS3, while being a Sony employee, Carlos said that that´s just the way he is. Sony, apparently, had not taken note of the review yet, though. That´s why Josh hasn´t gotten into trouble at work. Not yet, at least.<BR/><BR/>Carlos confirmed that Josh was an industry veteran who had worked on numerous consoles, including the original PlayStation, and was about to publish a book on 3D design.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136919982799146392006-01-10T20:06:00.000+01:002006-01-10T20:06:00.000+01:00@ martinlam, PPU is not even close to being a fact...@ martinlam, PPU is not even close to being a fact and it would be to expensive for nintendo to include, that article or email or whatever you want to call it is completely fake, although i wish it was true, it is notBlizz419https://www.blogger.com/profile/16294778080240573562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136919530204512312006-01-10T19:58:00.000+01:002006-01-10T19:58:00.000+01:00Oh, and let´s not forget that Electronic Arts´ ref...Oh, and let´s not forget that Electronic Arts´ refusal to develop for the console was another important factor.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136919211409376802006-01-10T19:53:00.000+01:002006-01-10T19:53:00.000+01:00Hi iMoron.

And the PPU is almost a fact because the company who created it, said it was in one of the nextgen consoles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136917413452109792006-01-10T19:23:00.000+01:002006-01-10T19:23:00.000+01:00One thing I would like to poin out about last gene...One thing I would like to poin out about last generation and the Dreamcast...<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons that made the Dreamcast flop was that they, Sega, worked with the devil, microsoft. When one of your partners comes up and after less than a year and anounces that they, microsoft, would realease a console with "1Ghz procesor, 128MB ram" (those where the initial spects of the xbox) among other moves (copying the controler to perfection...) what do you call that... BETRAYAL... MS stabed Sega on their back and their faces... What MS did took away all the momentum that Sega had... But somehow people forget...The dreamcast fail because of the hipe the xbox generated more than one year befor it was even realesed...<BR/><BR/>Now... sony, I feel, will have the ps3 perform (market wise) like the N64... Remember Nintendo had the control at the end of the 16 bit era... and lost it... It is posible that sony loses some ground this generation... no one is at the top forever...<BR/> <BR/>-fanboy mode on! :P<BR/>m$ will lose money again with this generetions 360... and remember that the toilet content's makes a 360 wile been flushed...<BR/><BR/>Lets pull the chain!<BR/><BR/>-iMoronviaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136916892410014812006-01-10T19:14:00.000+01:002006-01-10T19:14:00.000+01:00Hi Anonym. You are right with regard to the specs ...Hi Anonym. You are right with regard to the specs mentioned by Martinlam. I am sure these are completely fake. I don´t know too much about hardware specs myself, but even I find those highly suspicious. Like Martinlam said, HD-DVD isn´t going to happen, for a start. And the polycount seemed to be based on guesswork by a total layman.<BR/><BR/>However, I hope you are not talking about the story at hand, as well. Because it´s obvious that this is a Sony developer and, though no programmer himself, has direct insight into how far the PS3 has come so far and what it can and cannot do.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.com
