PS3 versus Xbox 360 versus Wii

[Spec-V]

Folks, I've Downloaded the demo Lost Planet @ Xbox live. What are your impressions on this game? To me I like it especially the Gatling Gun. It just rips thru those gargantuan Monsters.

I downloaded the demo expecting not much out of it, but to my suprise it's actually pretty good. Developer Camcom may just have a sleeper hit with this one

People will just install Linux on the PS3, based on an interview from a Sony official

Well, this bit of news will surely excite all the PS3 fans. Kawanishi, Network system development manager at SCE, revealed at E3 in an interview that the PS3 will be supporting Linux! Although it has been known before, this interview just confirms the fact.

English Translation:
The PS3 will come standard with a functional Linux Operating System as well as compilers and other tools. This will give a vast playground to all the programmers on the PS3. This means that the PS3 will support all USB drives. Even back in the PlayStation generation, there were a lot of creations by homebrew developers. On the PS3, this will be much more.

If you think of the PS3 as an ecosystem, the game studios will still follow the current routine, to treat the PS3 as a game console, and develop games while paying the license fee. However, in which form can the individual developers participate best in the software development for the PS3?


"To request license fee from the individual developers is a little hard (laughing). When a game studio buys a license to develop for the PS3, SCE side must supply the studio with necessary tools and SDK libraries, as well as all kinds of technical support. Since the PS3 is using Linux, the license fee will not be required for developing on it."


Won't this be a challenge to all the programmers since they won't have any knowledge technical knowledge of the hardware?

"Based on Linux, it is the OS-side hardware layer which is managing the Cell processor related issues, which makes the SPE also opened to the developers. However, I don't think that the PS3 as a game platform business, and the PS3 in the Linux world, will be merged into one."

Interesting indeed.....

And what would that be? Nintendo isn't trying to copy (feature by feature) on what others are doing (unlike Sony). This is one reason they get my respect. Their trying something different with the Wii. Cheap but innovative.
