Sony reveals PlayStation 3 Edge for developers this GDC |
Ó
Not exactly news for the gamers, but news for the guys making them. Sony has recently announced that it has put together together a new dev tools set for studios licensed to develop games for its console.The tools, dubbed the PlayStation 3 Edge, has been described as "a set of cutting edge technologies. Rather than an overarching engine, these teams have chosen to create specialized systems that demonstrate best practices of SPU and RSX utilization."
The groups in question include the WWS Europe Advanced Technology Group, the WWS America ICE, and the WWS America Tools and Technology group. All three are first-party technology teams within Sony, ICE being part of the Naughty Dog developer group. Full details for this new PS3 dev kit will be revealed at the upcoming GDC event. Expect Mark Cerny, Jon Olick, and Vince Diesi to host the unveiling session.
Given how a game turns out (even for ports) depends heavily on the tools developers receive from console manufacturers, this unveiling could prove to determine just how the PS3 future performance will turn out, both in sales and in game ratings.

livin on thee edge
cant wait for it. im getting my ps3 today or tomarrow
I think this might be one thing that the PS3 needs right now. Hope its something like the demonstration they had of PS3 at E3.
I can see the hype train is building up again. We are going to get a new set of promises, how great. Sony need to deliver not promise. Anyway, I guess we'll see.
>_> Not anything I'm going to go crazy about..
I'm going to wait and see what developers have say about these new tools.
