  • Sony Sells US-Based Online Game Unit 3 February 2015
    Sony sells US-based online game unit 3 February 2015 including its laptop business and Manhattan headquarters, in a bid to claw back to steady profitability after years of massive losses. Founded in 2000, New York-based Columbus Nova manages more than $15 billion in assets, through its own funds and affiliated portfolio companies, according to the statement from the company. In 2010, it bought Harmonix Music Systems, maker of Rock Band and Dance Central, from Viacom. © 2015 AFP Fans play games at Sony booth during the annual E3 video game extravaganza in Los Angeles, California, on June 10, 2014 Japan's Sony has sold its online gaming unit to a US investment firm, in a move that should free it to make titles for consoles other than PlaySation. New York investment management firm Columbus Nova has acquired Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), maker of the popular 3D fantasy multiplayer game EverQuest, the companies said in a statement on Monday. The deal—financial terms were not disclosed—will see the former Sony unit operate as an independent game development studio under the name Daybreak Game Company. Columbus Nova, based in New York, already owns the maker of the music video game Rock Band. The move will mean the renamed company can develop games for mobile devices and non-Sony consoles, such as Microsoft's Xbox, it said. EverQuest competes with the popular World Of Warcraft title.

  • A Methodology for Physical Creativity
    Suit The System To The Player: A Methodology for Physical Creativity Jane Friedhoff Parsons, The New School For Design 79 Fifth Avenue, Floor 16 New York, NY 10011 +1 (212) 229 - 8908 [email protected] ABSTRACT The PS Move, Kinect, and Wii tout their technological capabilities as evidence that they can best support intuitive, creative movements. However, games for these systems tend to use their technology to hold the player to higher standards of conformity. This style of game design can result in the player being made to 'fit' the game, rather than the other way around. It is worthwhile to explore alternatives for exertion games, as they can encourage exploration of long-dormant physical creativity in adults and potentially create coliberative experiences around the transgression of social norms. This paper synthesizes a methodology including generative outputs, multiple and simultaneous forms of exertion, minimized player tracking, irreverent metaphors, and play with social norms in order to promote. Scream 'Em Up tests this methodology and provides direction for future research. Keywords game design, physical creativity, embodied play, coliberation INTRODUCTION A major trend in console design is the development of increasingly sophisticated technology for tracking physical movement. The PS Move, Kinect, Wii, and other platforms largely eschew traditional controllers, instead asking the players to move their bodies or use their voices to interact with the system. Such systems tout their technological power as a shorthand for supporting more intuitive, more natural movement. The Kinect's marketing is emblematic of this: advertisements state, “you are the controller. […] If you have to kick, then kick, if you have to jump, then jump.
