PlayStation: The Best Place to Play

jackt@hoge.com — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:12:23 GMT

Millions of PlayStation fans around the world just watched our annual E3 press conference — marking the beginning to what will be an incredible week at E3 — and saw the amazing gaming and entertainment experiences coming to PlayStation in the near future. Above all else, what we showed tonight is our relentless focus on gamers and PlayStation’s long-standing legacy to building a gaming universe without boundaries.

One of the highlights of our event tonight was the official unveil of the PlayStation 4 system and price of $399 (*USD). The PS4 design is sleek and functional, and contains a powerful system architecture that will enable the industry’s best developers to create amazing titles. Our Worldwide Studios team has more than 30 PS4 exclusive titles in development, 20 of which will launch during the first year of PS4. The PS4 games feature 12 completely new IPs, including a game we unveiled tonight… The Order: 1886 from Ready at Dawn. We also provided updates to other exciting PS4 titles #DRIVECLUB, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Knack.

PS4 has incredible strength among the development community, and some of the best teams in the world displayed their ground-breaking games. Bungie Studios showed, for the first-time ever, live gameplay of the highly anticipated Destiny; Ubisoft featured Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and Watch_Dogs; Square Enix showed Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy XV; and Warner Bros. showed the world premiere for Mad Max. We also reinforced our support for independent and smaller developers with nine new titles that will debut exclusively on PlayStation 4.

It’s clear that you’ll have no shortage of games to play when PS4 launches. Globally there are more than 140 games in development for PS4 across our own Worldwide Studios and our development partners, including over 100 that will be available within the first year.

We also announced that PlayStation Plus memberships will carry over to PlayStation 4, so members will have access to all of the benefits across PS3, PS Vita and PS4 for one price. These benefits include online multiplayer access, exclusive discounts, cloud game saves, and Instant Game Collection, which gives members a selection of games to discover and enjoy with their friends. To celebrate the launch of PlayStation Plus on PS4, we will offer #DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition in the Instant Game Collection.

Sony Pictures Entertainment joined us onstage to announce that it is working on new original programming and unique access to entertainment content on PSN and PS4. Sony Pictures Entertainment is one of the most powerful entertainment brands in the world and we look forward to bringing our fans curated content that they’ll love.

In just over a year since its launch, we’ve built a library of more than 125 PS Vita dedicated games and the platform will only get stronger in the coming year. More than 85 games will launch by the end of the year, including The Walking Dead, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, CounterSpy, Destiny of Spirits, Doki Doki, Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway.

The PlayStation 3 is heading into its 7th holiday season and our commitment is stronger than ever. The PS3 game lineup today is huge, starting this Friday with Game of the Year candidate The Last of Us, which is now the highest rated game for all platforms for 2012 and 2013. We have more than 300 other titles that will launch before the end of the year, such as Beyond: Two Souls, Rain, Puppeteer, Batman: Arkam Origins, and Gran Turismo 6. In addition, we announced a PS3 bundle for Grand Theft Auto V and a new GTAV branded Pulse Elite headset that comes with an exclusive GTA soundscape.

It’s truly a remarkable time at PlayStation. We’re on the verge of launching the most powerful gaming system ever built with the PS4 and the entire PlayStation ecosystem is expanding with the continued growth and strength of PS Vita, PS3 and PlayStation Network. I want to thank PlayStation Nation for your passion and continued support. You’re the reason we continue to innovate, explore new entertainment possibilities and push the boundaries of play. I look forward to sharing more exciting details in the near future.

Postcard from Silverstone: Sony PlayStation Gran Turismo 15th Anniversary

sam.chan@sceh.sony.com.hk — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 07:16:42 GMT

Written by: Cheryl Tay

London is a place I enjoy going to and I got to visit it last week when I flew over to attend the 15th anniversary of “Gran Turismo”, the highly popular racing simulation video game. “Gran Turismo” is the best-selling Sony PlayStation franchise ever, having sold over 70 million units across its five versions, so you can imagine what a special occasion this was!

When I received the invite for this, I was really excited because like everyone else interested, I was wondering what “exciting announcements about its future” (as stated in the invite) would be made.

Much speculation was about the “Gran Turismo 6” (GT6) and true enough, when Kazunori Yamauchi – creator of “Gran Turismo” and CEO of Polyphony Digital the development company of “Gran Turismo” – took the stage, he gave a presentation on what we can expect from the upcoming “GT6”.

To be released during the holiday season with a demo release in July, the anniversary event was held at Silverstone Circuit because it will be one of the seven new locations for the “GT6”, of the 33 locations in total. Silverstone was never featured in any of the previous five “Gran Turismo” versions.

Other things to expect from the “GT6” include 1,200 cars to choose from, a new course maker, enhanced user interface, shorter load times, a huge inventory of custom parts and accessories, as well as multi-device compatibility between the PS3™, smart phones, tablets, and PCs for greater connectivity.

Chauffeured to Silverstone from the Sofitel Heathrow in a Mercedes, it was a rather long journey and I fell asleep most of the way as I was still suffering from jetlag.

Upon reaching Silverstone, we were greeted with a string of cars on display:

Some of the cars that really caught my attention from this front deck display are:

The weather was gloomy and it was drizzling slightly, but it didn’t stop any of us from snapping one photo too many. They started ushering us into the hall and I was one of the last few to go in because I just couldn’t get enough of the cars. The white S2000 was making me miss my pinky one at home too.

Registration took some time as there were quite a lot of international media members and invited guests. More cars were on display inside the hall, including this Red Bull X2010.

The red Honda NSX was a hot one too!

The event kicked off with a string of speeches by Jim Ryan (pictured below), President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe; Darren Cox, director of Nissan’s global motorsports and of course Yamauchi-san the man himself.

There was free wireless access in the hall for us, so once Yamauchi-san officially announced that #GT6iscoming, everyone started updating websites, Twitter, Facebook and other online platforms.

Gran Turismo has become a significant avenue for car manufacturers and related automotive companies, where new ideas are tested and designed. The “GT Academy”, in partnership with Nissan, has also successfully been grooming real racing drivers, transitioning them from online gaming to actual racing on the track. Started in 2008, the GT Academy has plans for the biggest year ever. Basically, the fastest “Gran Turismo” gamer in each participating country will compete for that one spot to be trained into a real racing driver.

Once the speeches were over, we rotated in groups for the different activities. We were watching graduates of the “GT Academy” race each other off-track and also on-track, before taken for joy rides around Silverstone in some of the cars that will be added to the ever-growing vehicle list in “GT6”.

New car additions you can expect in the “GT6” are the 2011 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, 1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GT, and 2012 Tesla Model S. Three new Mercedes-Benz AMG models – the SLS AMG GT3, the E63 AMG and the A45 AMG – will be making their debut in the game too.

I wanted a joyride in the SLS AMG GT3, but only one participant per group was allowed and this guy from Hong Kong beat me to it. I have this unspoken affinity with the SLS AMG GT3, especially after spending a whole season with the PETRONAS Syntium Team‘s pair in the Super Taikyu season and also after visiting the AMG factory in Affalterbach.

Well, I wasn’t too bad myself, I was taken round (left and right rather) in the KTM X-Bow. I first saw the KTM X-Bow at last year’s Race of Champions in Thailand, but getting to sit in one is totally different from just seeing it in action. Duh.

Once the joyrides were done and we were supposed to be more or less familiar with the route, it was time to do some driving ourselves!

We were randomly allocated to the cars available for test drives and I was assigned the 5-litre V8 Jaguar XKR-S!

Other cars included the Nissan GT-R or the Toyota 86.

Accompanied by an instructor, I only got three precious laps and then it was back into the pit lane; just as I was starting to get used to the crazy amount of torque.

We had a go at a sample of the “GT6” and then there were interview opportunities with the three speakers. I chose to sit in the one with Yamauchi-san – the man behind this whole thing, the reason why we were all gathered at Silverstone on 15th May.

It was a short 10-minute interview so I couldn’t get all my questions asked, but I managed to ask if he ever expected his creation to become this big. It was in 1992 when he first started developing it. Launched in December 1997, it has gained worldwide acclaim to a level he never expected.

I hope I can get to speak to him again one day, because I have so much more to ask him! Meanwhile, I got his autograph to keep that hope company.

GT Academy 2013 Kicks Off in July with Gran Turismo 6 Demo

penroset@hoge.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 02:56:24 GMT

Buckle up, Gran Turismo fans – our annual GT Academy competition will return for a fifth season this year, and it’s set to be the biggest yet, with more countries than ever before participating.

The online gaming element of the competition gets under starter’s orders this July via a demo of the just-announced Gran Turismo®6 exclusively on PlayStation®3.

Since it began in 2008, the acclaimed virtual-to-reality competition has attracted over two million entries, with gamers and motor sport fans battling it out in Gran Turismo for the chance to become real Nissan racing drivers. Six former winners of the competition, which now runs in Europe, the USA, Germany, Russia, the Middle East and South Africa, are now Nismo Athletes competing in top-level motor sport on behalf of Nissan.

Nissan’s Director of Global Motorsport, Darren Cox, revealed the plans for GT Academy 2013 today at the famous Silverstone Circuit, at the same event where Kazunori Yamauchi announced Gran Turismo 6.

“At its core GT Academy remains a highly-accessible route into professional motor racing for people who would otherwise not have the opportunity. Unearthing genuine driving talent from the world of gaming is a real example of digital age performance and the innovation for which Nissan is famous.

“We are predicting that more people than ever will enter the competition this year on the stunning new GT6 demo.”

Kazunori Yamauchi, President of developer Polyphony Digital, added: “GT Academy is a fitting platform for the Gran Turismo community to preview GT6 for the first time, as we aim to bring the worlds of virtual and reality closer than ever.

“We are very proud of this partnership with Nissan, and we have aimed to make a very appealing and accessible competition featuring a range of their cars. The challenges, even at this early stage of the competition, are designed to improve people’s race craft before they even make it to driving real cars.

“We have also incorporated the Silverstone circuit for the first time in Gran Turismo. This should ensure that competitors will arrive at Race Camp better prepared than ever.”

Winning GT Academy is a passport to a career in global motorsport, with Lucas Ordoñez (2008 winner) and Jann Mardenborough (2011 winner) racing at the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours for Nissan Nismo.

The latest graduates Wolfgang Reip from Belgium (European winner), Mark Shulzhitskiy (Russian winner), Steve Doherty (US winner) and Peter Pyzera (German winner) are currently competing in the Blancpain Endurance Series in a pair of Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 cars.

The format of GT Academy sees the fastest PlayStation gamers from each country join winners from a number of live events to compete in their respective National Finals. The action will then make the transition from the virtual world to real Nissan sports cars when the winners of each national competition are invited to take part in the intense international final at Silverstone Circuit, now the established home of the GT Academy Race Camp.

The winners of each of the GT Academy competitions will then be put through an intensive and thorough Driver Development Program, rated among the best in the world, in order to qualify for the ultimate competition prize – a full season racing a Nissan GT-R GT3 Nismo in a top-level championship.

Details of how to enter GT Academy 2013 can be found on Facebook, Twitter and the official Gran Turismo site. Good luck!

Direct from Paris! Be Impressed of Hollywood Blockbuster Style “BEYOND: Two Souls”

star.platinum7777@gmail.com — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:40:11 GMT

PS3™ exclusive title “BEYOND: Two Souls” by Quantic Dreams has made a pioneering decision in the gaming industry by casting Ellen Page (one of my favorite actresses who has starred in “Juno” and “Inception”) as the heroine as well as the Green Goblin actor from “Spiderman” to play the scientist. Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong Limited was invited to visit Quantic Dreams headquarter in Paris on 19^th March and had a tour of the huge shooting studio for Motion Capture, sneak peek of freshly released gameplay and interviews with producers David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière to unveil the mysteries of this Hollywood-style game.

Press from all over the world visited the Quantic Dream headquarter for a trial session of the anticipated new title “BEYOND: Two Souls”.

Quantic Dream boosts more than 200 employees. David Cage showed the press around the office area with a huge fullview glass window. Game production does not mean working around the clock without seeing daylight.

In Search of Two Souls: Jodie & Aiden

“BEYOND: Two Souls” is due to be released in October this year. Those who have played “Heavy Rain”, a title also produced by Quantic Dreams, should have found its impressive cinematic storyline charming. This cinematic title has always been my favorite game. However, this time around Quantic Dreams has chosen not to produce a sequel to “Heavy Rain”, instead, they started this brand new title “BEYOND: Two Souls”, which does not tell of a murder like “Heavy Rain”. “BEYOND: Two Souls” takes players through the story of heroine Jodie Holmes (Ellen Page) from the age of eight to twenty-three. Since she was born, Jodie has been connected with Aiden, an invisible entity. She is gifted with supernatural powers but plagued with pain known to nobody. According to the producers, the game proceeds with flashbacks taking players to revisit Jodie at different ages including her childhood, adolescence and adulthood so they could identify the reason and result of each incident through rearranging the pieces.

Consequences from Small Decisions

During the hands-on session, players could freely control Jodie or Aiden, facing challenges along the way to continue the story. For example, there is a scene of Jodie being inside a fire scene when the elevator fails to work. Players can play as Aiden to leave the elevator, pushing away luggage stuck at the door of another floor so that the elevator can function again. The entity Aiden is invisible, flies and can pass through any object. Aiden can also move objects and even possess people. It’s up to players to consider how to make use of Aiden’s abilities depending on the situation to overcome challenges and continue through Jodie’s life. Retaining “Heavy Rain”’s choice-centered gameplay, players will be constantly making decisions, and each small decision can lead to a different ending - just like in real life. Once a decision is made, there’s no way back.

PS3™ consoles were placed in the venue for the press to try playing a part of “BEYOND: Two Souls”.

Jodie Learns Fighting But Not QTE Controls

Different from “Heavy Rain”, “BEYOND: Two Souls” does not use QTE controls. Those who have played “Heavy Rain” before should remember that when close battle takes place they have to press buttons according to the directions displayed on-screen to unleash attacks. The same QTE controls is not used in “BEYOND: Two Souls”, instead, during the hands-on session we saw Jodie receiving close combat training. Players can make use of the analog sticks to unleash attacks of different levels, such as kicks or uppercuts. Actions also slow down during battles to facilitate easier controls. By not retaining QTE controls, “BEYOND: Two Souls” lets players be more immersed in the gameplay and to experience together with Jodie a grappling and thrilling life journey spanning 15 years.

Hollywood Stars and Their Eyes Took Part in the Acting

Lastly, what must be mentioned about this title is that Hollywood stars Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe have taken part in the development of this title by actually “acting out” the game characters. Most scenes of the title were produced by Motion Capture- sensors placed onto the actors’ faces and bodies, to detect each action and expression for further production. More than 90 sensors were placed on each actor’s face, no wonder producers claim that even the actors’ eyes have taken part in “acting”. More than 12 months were spent filming for the game, involving more than 300 characters, which is something that makes this title a much anticipated one, not to mention the brand-new game engine!

David Cage, Creative Director of “BEYOND: Two Souls” presented the title to the press inside the Motion Capture studio. Sixty five cameras were placed inside the studio, where Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe acted out every scene of the game.

Coming Soon:

We will have interviews coming up of David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière, the title and studio directors! Stay tuned!

The entity Aiden is constantly protecting Jodie; but on the dark side, it also has a jealous and violent character.

PlayStation® Evolution: The Beginning

raze.lok@sceh.sony.com.hk — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 09:57:50 GMT

PlayStation’s arrival to the world of gaming signaled a change in the status quo and a sign of things to come. The original PlayStation® system emerged in 1994 in Japan as a dark horse challenger, a seemingly outgunned newcomer entering a crowded field dominated by legends of the 16-bit era. PlayStation’s advanced technology and innovative controller design won raves with critics and gamers, and in 1995, the system expanded to North America, Europe, and Australia. Accompanied by a powerful salvo of titles including WipEout, Crash Bandicoot, and Gran Turismo, PlayStation’s rapid rise marked the end of one era of videogames and the dawn of another. The world was never the same.

Be sure to visit our YouTube page in the coming days as we present the evolution of PlayStation® and recap our greatest moments. Then, be the first to know on February 21th, 2013 at 7:00 am Hong Kong Time.

See the Future
