Location: San Mateo, California New sound studios spearhead renovations for Sony Computer General Contractor: Entertainment America, with an acoustical assist from Magnum Drywall Magnum Drywall and PABCO® Gypsum’s QuietRock® Products: QuietRock® FLAME CURB® San Mateo, California The Sound of Silence means a lot to engineers producing video games for Sony PlayStation®4 (PS4™) enthusiasts. At Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC headquarters in San Mateo, California, producers’ tolerance for intrusive noise from beyond studio walls is zero. Only the intense action on-screen matters while creating audio effects that dramatize, punctuate and heighten the deeply immersive experience for video gamers. In these studios Sony Entertainment sound engineers make the most of that capability while keeping the PlayStation® pipeline full for weekly launches of new games. The gaming experience draws players to PS4™ and its predecessor PlayStation® consoles, and PS4™ elevates 3D excitement ever higher. It’s the world’s most powerful games console, with a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) able to perform 1,843 teraflops*. “When sound is important, we prefer to submit QuietRock as a good solution for the architect and the owner. There’s nothing else on the market that’s comparable. I even used it in my own home movie theatre.”” – Gary Robinson, Owner Magnum Drywall what the job demands Visit www.QuietRock.com or call Call 1.800.797.8159 for more information On top of its introductory lineup in November 2013, over 180 PS4™ games are in development, including “Be the Batman”, the epic conclusion of the “Batman: Arkham Knight” trilogy, that is due out in June 2015.

Although some tropes are present in the game and are necessary to stay tonally consistent to the genre, I argued that much of the focus of the game is shifted from the typical situational horror of the monsters and violence to the overall narrative, effective dialogue, strategic use of cinematic elements, and character development throughout the course of the game.

Prof. Maria Lusiani Graduand Elena Ponza Matriculation number 873935 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 I II Alla mia famiglia, che c’è stata quando più ne avevo bisogno e che mi ha sostenuta nei momenti in cui non credevo di farcela.

III IV Abstract During the last couple decades video game consoles and arcades have been subjected to the unexpected, swift development and spread of mobile gaming. What is it though that allowed physical platforms to yet maintain the market share they have over these new and widely accessible online resources? The aim of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of the concept of innovation in the quickly developing world of video games. The analysis is carried out with qualitative methods, one based on technological development in the context of business history and one on knowledge exchange and networking. Throughout this examination it has been possible to explore what kind of changes and innovations were at first applied by this industry and then extended to other fields. Some examples would be motion control technology, AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality), which were originally developed for the video game industry and eventually were used in design, architecture or in the medical field.

  • E3, Gamescom E Tokyo Game Show Verso Il Declino?
    E3, Gamescom e Tokyo Game Show verso il declino? La Gamescom di Colonia si è appena conclusa e ha portato con sé non troppe novità: degne di menzione le nuove schede grafiche della serieRTX di Nvidia, componenti che, una volta sul mercato, faranno davvero la differenza nel campo del PC gaming. Per il resto, tranne pochissime nuove IP, si è parlato di titoli già esistenti o annunciati durante il trimestre estivo o precedente. Similmente accadde lo scorso giugno, quando molti dei giochi che ci si aspettava di vedere per la prima volta all’E3 furono invece annunciati pochi giorni prima della conferenza, tra leak e pubblicazioni volute dagli stessi produttori, rendendo l’esposizione più un momento di conferma che di novità. Dopotutto siamo nell’era dell’Internet 3.0, divulgare informazioni non è mai stato così immediato e semplice e questa non poteva che essere una delle conseguenze dirette, complice anche il fatto che ormai l’utenza media vuole esige hype costante come fosse una droga, con informazioni sui giochi che fanno leva sull’emotività di ognuno. Viene quindi da pensare che i tre appuntamenti annuali, Gamescom, E3 e Tokyo Game Show, per quanto grandi sia per dimensione che per importanza, potrebbero non essere più abbastanza, considerando anche che sono tutti concentrati nel quadrimestre Giugno-Settembre e, come già ribadito, il pubblico ha sempre bisogno di novità. Per coprire il gap durante il periodo invernale e primaverile, oltre aileak e qualche “notizia bomba” di tanto in tanto, alcuni colossi dell’industria creano degli eventi specifici per tenere aggiornati i suoi utenti riguardo a cosa è attualmente in produzione e cosa si vorrebbe produrre: si pensi alla PlayStation Experience (che manca da due anni all’appuntamento invernale essendo stata spostata ad agosto) e ai vari Nintendo Direct, che in verità non hanno una cadenza fissa e che anzi, vengono letteralmente annunciati da un giorno all’altro, più volte l’anno.

  • Playstation 4 Version 6.0 Download Sony Releases PS4 System Software Update 6.0
    playstation 4 version 6.0 download Sony Releases PS4 System Software Update 6.0. PlayStation 4 owners will soon get an update notification on their consoles as Sony is now rolling out the PlayStation 4 system software update version 6.0. While this new software update doesn’t have a decimal version number, it doesn’t have one of Sony’s unique Daimiyo names as well. That’s because it’s an incremental update which doesn’t bring much in the way of new features to the console. Sony Interactive Entertainment is rolling out the system software update 6.0 for the PlayStation 4 today. It’s now available for download via the PlayStation Network. The update comes in at 447MB. The patch notes aren’t lengthy at all because there are no new features included in this update. “This system software update improves system performance.” reads the official changelog. Users normally expect the company to ship new features with a full numbered update. It’s an even number update alright but there’s no mention of any new features which many PlayStation 4 owners will certainly find odd. It only says that the system’s performance has been updated without going into any details about any bugs or issues that have been addressed with this update. It’s only a matter of time now before this latest system software update for the PlayStation 4 starts making its way to console owners across the globe.

It was the period of intense work thanks to which we are today on the eve of one of the most important events in our corporate history. At the same time, thanks to the experience gained in this project, we got new competences opening up new perspectives to develop new games. The third part of our sniper trilogy is the largest and most complex project we have ever completed. We have made every effort to give the players the highest quality title, ensuring quality entertainment, redefining the sniper game genre anew on 25 April 2017. I am confident this objective will be accomplished which will translate also to the commercial success of this enterprise. The development of "Sniper Ghost Warrior 3" made our organisation develop, mature and entered a new tier. Over one hundred of high-class specialists, employed in CI Games, makes a harmonious team, stronger than ever before. Working on AAA class project enabled us also to get precious know-how related to cooperation with external partners. We have mastered the business model consisting in outsourcing particular tasks. Still, we retain control over the key game components, production management and artistic vision. This helps us manage the resources and time of key people more efficiently which we are going to use when performing future projects. By the end of the first six months of 2017, we wish to present an ambitious development strategy in which we are going to disclose our publishing plans.
