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 worlds 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.
