Larry -> si je me plante pas :

In-Game : c'est quand on joue

Temp Réel : C'est une cinematique faite avec le moteur du jeux

donc c'est comme du in-game sauf q'on controle pas en gros

Cinématique : ben c'est juste une video prise directement d'un rendus de programme 3d directement

(hors killzone 2 c'est juste une cinématique)

enfin si on peu me donner un lien prouvant le contraire

 

c'est pas pour descendre la ps3 ou autre (d'ailleur je compte l'acheter quand sont prix aura baisser vue qu'elle sortira dans les 450€) mais juste pour remetre un peu d'ordre dans ce que tu dit

[Invité Invité]

bon, sois on se calme

sois je lock

 

les débats : ok

mais descendre une console juste parcequ'on aime pas telle ou telle marque ...

[Invité Invité]

bon pour en revenir au sujet ....parceque l'autre il ma KC en faite memme pas chui fissurer !

 

bin moi j'attend le ps3 en esperant quelle ne me decevra pas comme la fait la ps2 et bien sur que son prix baisse et qu'il y est des nouvelles version car les 1ere......

[Invité Invité]

bordel les guerilla vont pas reprendre ................

 

 

LA consoles evolue , evoluont aussi .... et achetons tous la Revolution

 

mdr

 

 

lol nan sans dec les 3 sont prometeuses alors avant de les critiquers attendonts de les tester

[Invité Invité]

j'ose même pas imaginer la gueguerre quand les 3 consoles seront dispos

 

faudra qu'on triple le nombre de modos

[Invité Invité]

tin on est pas gener de les voir ce qui aime pas sony

moi je la trouve classe la ps3 meme la manette

sinon pour ce qui est des jeux c vrai qu on a pas vu grand chose pour l instan mais a mon avi y a des langue de viper qui von ravaler leur venin quant on va vraiment voir les jeux ps3 tourner

[Invité Invité]

Y'en a ils sont vraiment bornés !

Tte les vidéos présentés par Sony étaient des en temps réels faites à partir du kit de développement.

Killzone était ce qu'on appelle un "mokup" cad une simulation d'un rendu graphique à partir des données technologique.

C'est comme quand un constructeur automobile simule son futur moteur sur un pc.

Après faut pas confondre RTC : Real Time Cinématique. Scène cinématique réalisée en 3D temps réel.

Ca a tjrs un rendu plus fin que du in-game étant donné qu'il n'y'a moins de choses à gérer (notamment l'IA)

 

Donc mtn je vous mets les interwiews qui appuie ce que je viens de dire.

 

 

 

interview de phil harrison ( directeur de sony europe entertainement )par gameindustry.biz

GamesIndustry.biz: One question on the lips of many people at the moment: how much of what we saw in the PlayStation 3 demos was actually running in real-time?

Phil Harrison: Everything in the demos was real-time.

And what about the game footage clips?

Not all of that - in fact, none of it was real-time because it was all running off video. If you make a presentation to two and a half thousand people, you're going to put some of it on video just to be on the safe side.

I've been asked this question a lot. The way we put those videos together, everything was done to specification. Everything was done to PS3 spec. Virtually everything used in-game assets; some things were rendered.

How representative of what we're actually going to be seeing in PS3 games were those videos?

I think very. I think depending on the game, different games took a different approach to their way of expressing what the games are like - but clearly, something like Motor Storm uses more cinematic, replay-like cameras than you would ever enjoy in-game. So that makes a big difference... But everything is done to spec.

A fairly significant number of the games we saw - including many of the most impressive ones - were from European studios. Is this indicative of SCEE perhaps focusing more on preparing for next-gen than other territories?

I just think we had great stuff to show! Yeah, I'm really proud of the way the European content has been received, and I'm delighted with the response to Heavenly Sword, Motor Storm and Killzone in particular.

But even things like The Getaway technical test - and I was at pains to point out that this was not Getaway PS3, this was what happens when a team rolls off a game and we start getting them thinking about what is their vision for taking that technology and scaling it up. I think it was a good A to B comparison, because people know what Getaway looks like on PS2, and then they were able to ramp that up on to PS3 - albeit on very early prototype hardware, so it was a bit painful along the way for them! I thought that was a great example.

So The Getaway was one of the things that was running on real hardware?

Yeah, good example - I mean, you could see actually, the way that those cameras worked. That zoom-in camera was done in real-time to capture the kind of video-like footage that we had.

Some of the developers who worked on demos for the launch have said that even those aren't running on hardware approaching the full power of the final unit - so what percentage of the full performance was that running on?

It's really hard to say, because as technology gets more and more complicated, there's no concept of the perfect engine. We used to say on 16-bit that a game used 90 per cent of the machine's power, or Gran Turismo uses, you know, 94 per cent of PlayStation 1's power... There's no concept of the perfect game engine that uses everything. So it's hard to say.

We're thinking more in terms of the actual hardware - the clock speed of the chips, and so on.

It varies between developers, because we've got different variants of the hardware with different performance characteristics. Obviously as you get closer and closer to production hardware - and typically, the final devkit that you get is production hardware, near as damn it finished - as you get closer and closer, you're using more and more like the final silicon, which will be more and more like the final clock speed.

So it only gets better from here on in - which is pretty astonishing, to think about the implications of that actually. But faster, more powerful - where you use that power is a different issue.

Was most of what we saw really just showing off the graphics capabilities - stretching the RSX graphics part rather than the Cell chip? The assumption is that Cell is there for complex physics and AI...

You're right; obviously Cell allows you to do complex collisions, physics, dynamics, simulations, all of those things. Though, the Getaway demo was a good example of how you can have a living city brought to life as a result. Although it was pretty graphics, most of that power was actually Cell-based.

The Doc Ock head - the Alfred Molina head - is actually more of a Cell demo than it is a graphics demo, because we're calculating hugely complicated light sources in real-time on the Cell, even to the point where we calculate the angle at which light enters the skin, the way that the light is then coloured by your blood, and the way that it is then reflected back out. It's something called transmission. Skin is hugely complicated - if I put my finger over a light, for example, you can see that the light is coming through my skin. We were simulating that - emulating, simulating, kind of a fine line - we were simulating that on the Doc Ock head demo.

So that's really pushing the Cell rather than the graphics chipset?

Yeah. Those are really hardcore maths problems which the Cell is really good at solving.

It's not just the RSX that drives the graphical quality, then - the Cell can also really be used to improve the graphics.

Well, I'll give you a couple of other examples. The terrain rendering demo that was done by STI, which is the people who developed the Cell, doesn't use the graphics chip at all. That 3D landscape was generated in real-time from two input data sources and a software renderer running on the Cell created the final image. All that it does is output as a bitmap straight to the video hardware - it doesn't even create a single polygon, there's no concept of a polygon in that demo.

How long did the developers of the various launch demos have their hands on the PS3 hardware for?

It varies from two to probably five months. We've had Cell for a bit longer than we've had the graphics chip - at least, a working graphics chip. We've had our devkits for just over five months now.

Something the PS2 was widely criticised for - and which Microsoft in particular has played up very much - is being extremely hard to develop for. How does PS3 compare in that respect?

It always made me chuckle, that comment from Microsoft, because yeah, it's true, but it didn't stop us having thousands of games and 80 per cent market share. Having said that, there is an element of truth to it - PlayStation 2's architecture was more challenging for your average developer to get their heads around. Some were capable of getting their heads around it, some weren't.

PlayStation 3, I think, is going to be cheaper to develop for than the corresponding period of PS2 development. I know that's a fairly contentious statement to make, but there's a very good reason for that. When we announced the collaboration with NVIDIA, we just talked about them making a chip - actually, they don't make anything, they're a designer, and the RSX contains an NVIDIA-designed part, which gives us fantastic GPU capabilities. But what it also gives us, and this is actually the most important bit of it, is all the toolchain and CG pipeline that comes with it, which is a very well understood development pipeline in the PC community - and, yes, in the Xbox community, frankly.


So all of that pipeline of tools and technology and plug-ins comes straight across to PlayStation 3. Plus, on the Cell side of things, IBM brings a lot of expertise and know-how to the table. Also, as you know, the PS2's EE had two microprogrammable devices, VU0 and VU1 - which were incredibly fast, incredibly powerful chips that were very difficult to program for because of their very specialist nature and the programming skills required.

Within PlayStation 3, the Cell chip, although it has a number of components inside it, they're all general-purpose CPUs. They can be programmed at a much much higher level.

So we're going to see people writing for those in C, rather than having to mess around with VU code?

Absolutely. Messing around with VU code... Yeah, it's true. It's not for the faint-hearted, for sure.

In terms of your devkits - obviously some people have them already, so what's the schedule going forward for delivering them to developers?

Well, clearly Monday and Tuesday have been our big coming-out parties. We're now public, so we can now be a lot more open with all of our partners about what we're doing. You'll see a lot more devkits rolling out - but exact schedules, who they're going to and what they do is not something I can discuss here.

You're going to start rolling them out more rapidly now, though?

Yeah, for sure. We've been making them for some time, but obviously they're not in abundant supply at the moment.

In terms of the PS3 console itself... Why does it have three network ports on the back?

Because it can be a hub, rather than just being a terminal at the end of a network. Also, we want to be able to have a Gigabit port for an IP camera. So one of the ports is an in, and two of them are through. It can be a server as well as a terminal.

You showed demonstrations of the console running multiple applications across the two HDMI outputs - is that something which is actually built into the system's operating systems, or do games have to support it specifically?

Depending on the features that you exploit, some of it's handled by the OS, some of it will be handled by the applications. I should also explain that although yes, there are two HDMI outputs, you don't have to have only high-def devices attached to PlayStation 3 - there's also a standard PlayStation AV Multi-Out connector. So one of them could be an HD output, and one of them could be an AV Multi going to the TV.

Taking the demonstration of the video chat windows in one screen while a game was being played in another - is that something we can expect as a standard OS feature, independent of the game?

The Cell can run multiple operating systems, so yes, you could do that. Now, we don't have the application up and running yet, and the resource management isn't quite final - but the purpose of that presentation was to show what is possible. Exactly how that gets unlocked is still being worked on.

Online is one area where, without a doubt, Microsoft did get it rather more right than Sony last generation - Xbox Live being a much more comprehensive worldwide service than what Sony rolled out...

But more people play online games on a PlayStation 2 than on any other game console.

Right, but then a lot more people own PlayStation 2s than any other game console.

Yeah, but it is something that is worth pointing out - although, personally I have a great deal of respect for what Microsoft has done with Live, and I think they've got a lot of it right.

Can we expect to see Sony really working to catch up in that department on PS3?

I think that philosophically, PlayStation 2's online offering is an add-on to the hardware and software and operating system. In PlayStation 3, online is part of the DNA of the machine - in fact, the Cell processor itself is designed from the ground up to be connected to a broadband network.

So from switch on, day one of the machine, network functionality will pervade every aspect of the machine. We talked a little bit about that at the conference, but there's a lot more detail to go into about some of the really cool things - like, if your PS3 is switched on at home, it can be a media server to your PSP on the other side of the planet. Now that is incredibly cool. I could sit here in LA and navigate the data which is stored on my PS3, and download music and other data off my PS3, onto my PSP.

Phil Harrison, thank you very much for your time.

Thank you.

 

je traduit juste la première phrase ( plus importante pour ce sujet ) :

- la question qui brulle les levres de tout les joueur en ce moment c'est de savoir combien, parmis les jeux/demo devoilés tournent en temp reel ?

- et bien tout ce que vous avez pu voir comme jeux ou demo tourne en temps reel .

 

 

interview des createur de killlzone 2 

Qu'avez-vous ressenti hier devant la réaction du public face à la bande-annonce ?

Jan-Bart : la réaction a été formidable. C'est génial de voir le fruit de notre travail sur un grand écran et la réaction de l'assistance a été toute aussi géniale. Je suis vraiment très heureux.

Quand aviez-vous commencé à travailler sur cette séquence ?

Jan-Bart : on a commencé à travailler dessus fin novembre 2004 et on ne l'a terminée que trois jours avant le salon, au tout dernier moment !

Ça ressemble à Killzone, en plus impressionnant ! Est-ce que c'est à l'image de ce que nous réserve la version finale du jeu ?

Jan-Bart : on ne voulait pas se contenter de refaire Killzone avec des graphismes plus beaux. On tenait à ajouter bien plus d'éléments. On va donc proposer bien plus d'interactions entre les personnages, notamment dans la manière dont ils réagissent à vos actions et vice versa. Comme vous avez pu le constater dans la bande-annonce, l'interaction entre les personnages est bien plus poussée. Les soldats tirent les corps de leurs frères d'armes pour les évacuer. Ils s'entraident aussi et s'échangent des armes. Ce genre d'interactions est beaucoup plus proche des comportements humains et donc beaucoup plus réaliste.

[ben Duncan, producteur du jeu] : c'est comme dans la démo d'Alfred Molina. Grâce à la qualité de l'animation des visages des personnages, on peut créer une résonance émotionnelle et donner aux joueurs l'impression de faire partie d'une unité et de combattre aux côtés de ses membres. Les personnages travaillent ensemble, ils s'épaulent pour quitter le champ de bataille... Ce genre de détails va ouvrir de nouveaux horizons au genre.

Il y a un moment génial où on voit un allié de l'ISA assommer un Helghan avec la crosse de son fusil pour vous sauver la vie... Est-ce que l'intelligence artificielle que l'on verra sur la PS3 permettra ce genre de comportement plus sophistiqué ?

Jan-Bart : absolument. On n'en est qu'au début. Les personnages auront conscience de votre situation et de ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour vous aider. Ce moment [avec la crosse de fusil] est un bon exemple de ce qu'on peut apporter comme petit plus graphique.

La bande-annonce de Killzone donne-t-elle une bonne idée du type de jouabilité en temps réel que proposera la PLAYSTATION 3 ?

Jan-Bart : oui, elle illustre les graphismes et les sensations qu'on essaie de créer dans ce jeu.

Est-il facile de bosser sur la PS3 ?

Jan-Bart : oui, elle nous a vraiment impressionnés. Le Cell est incroyablement puissant. Quant au processeur graphique [le RSX, développé en coopération avec Nvidia]... On a du mal à l'émuler sur nos PC de développement. On est obligés de regarder les résultats sur la PS3. C'est vraiment super de travailler avec un matériel aussi puissant.

Pour l'instant, les télévisions à haute définition ne sont pas encore très répandues, surtout en Europe. Redoutez-vous que certains joueurs ne jouent pas à votre soft en bénéficiant du niveau de détails que vous proposez ?

Jan-Bart : non, je pense que dans deux ou trois ans, la télé HD sera bien plus courante, même en Europe. On va commencer à 720 p puis augmenter [jusqu'à 1080 p], puisqu'il y a maintenant un produit [la PS3] qui va inciter certaines personnes à acheter un nouveau téléviseur.

Merci beaucoup et félicitations pour votre travail.

Jan-Bart : Merci ! [il fait un grand sourire] 

 

Je rappelle que la rumeur vient de cette déclaration :

Bon, il balance un peu, Mark Rein : d'après lui, seule la présentation d'Unreal Tournament 2007 (voyez-la aussi) et les démos technologiques de Sony étaient calculées en temps réel, tout le reste (y compris Killzone 2, Fifth Phantom Saga, Killing Day et I-8) étant de bêtes cinématiques en images de synthèse. Mark Rein en profite pour rajouter que son Unreal Engine 3 (1 million de dollar la licence, pas reuch) fera d'ailleurs bien mieux que tout ça dans un an, et même le café en plus.

Comme quoi cette déclaration ne tient pas la route car insomniac créateur de I-8 ont affirmé que la vidéo de leur jeu était bien du temps réel.

Après chacun se fait son oipinion peu importe de tt manière Guerilla n'ont jamais déçus (sur je plan technique de leurs jeux j'entends bien) et la sortie du jeux est encore loin.

dsl je préfére croire des développeurs qui ont déjà prouvaient ce qu'ils savaient faire. Plutôt qu'un site stupide de propagande anti-sony
