  • Will Sonyâ•Žs Fourth Playstation Lead to a Second Sony V. Universal?
    WILL SONY’S FOURTH PLAYSTATION LEAD TO A SECOND SONY V. UNIVERSAL? † SETH ASCHER ABSTRACT Sony has included a “share” button on the next version of their popular PlayStation video game system. This feature is meant to allow players to record and share videos of their gameplay. This service shares similarities with the controversial “record” button that Sony included with its Betamax players over thirty years ago. The Betamax player was the subject of the landmark case Sony v. Universal, a foundational case for the modern application of copyright law to new technology. This Issue Brief examines how this “share” feature would fare under the framework laid out by Sony v. Universal and other evolutions in copyright law. INTRODUCTION On February 20, 2013, Sony announced their newest videogame system, predictably named the PlayStation 4.1 Chief among its new features is the share button displayed prominently on its controller.2 Microsoft’s newest offering also has a similar feature.3 Pressing the share button will allow a player to post images or videos of their gameplay to the internet, sharing them with their friends and complete strangers.4 The PlayStation 4 even buffers the last few minutes of gameplay so that a player can share their gameplay video after the fact.5 Sony’s intention is to provide an easy way for players to share images and videos online.

  • Horizon Zero Dawn Thomas Arthur
    Review: Horizon Zero Dawn Thomas Arthur Developer: Guerrilla Games Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Release date: 28.02.2017 Platform: PS4 Horizon Zero Dawn certainly grabbed our attention when concept art first leaked ahead of E3 2015. Images of primitive characters battling robotic dinosaurs were just as intriguing as the news that Guerrilla Games were the creative minds behind this new open-world adventure. After more than a decade of releasing linear sci-fi shooters for the hit-and-miss Killzone franchise, could the studio deliver a compelling experience to match the impressive scenes shown in its announcement trailer and successive gameplay previews? The answer is a resounding yes. ‘Zero Dawn’ proves a particularly apt tagline for this newest Playstation exclusive, with its vast environments, immersive story, and rewarding gameplay hallmarking the enthusiasm of a team eager to be working on a new intellectual property. The game is set centuries after a long-forgotten apocalyptic event, with humanity’s new tribes grappling for survival amid an ecosystem of deadly, beast-like machines. Created in a specially modified version of the Decima engine, Horizon’s visuals are stunning in both their scale and attention to detail, with lush jungles, snowy plains, and sun-baked canyons rendered in flawless detail even over long distances. Individual leaves rustle ominously as metal predators prowl through the forests and overgrown ruins of abandoned cities. The result is easily one of the best looking games the PS4 has to offer. The player journeys through this disparate world as our protagonist Aloy - a skilled machine hunter raised as an outcast from her own tribe.

Over the years we’ve evolved from a humble regional conference into a truly global industry event, as our vision of a strong, united games community and the values so many of us share - openness, innovation and diversity - have resonated with games industry professionals around the world, and they have been welcomed into our extended family. Of course, we continue to proudly celebrate the sheer quality and variety of games developed in the Nordic countries, and this year’s Nordic Game Awards (Thursday, 24 May from 18:00 in the Unreal Theatre) once again reflects the imagination and vitality of developers from the region we call home. However, our rapidly changing, interconnected industry doesn’t allow us to rest on our laurels, and our opening keynote (Wednesday, 23 May at 11:00 in the Unreal Theatre) brings together a panel of leaders from some of our most prominent Nordic studios to explore key challenges and opportunities for game developers moving forward. True to the many values we share with our extended global family, we’re also introducing a string of talks - the Impact sessions - that delve beyond the albeit important business and technical aspects of game development, to encourage all of us to think more deeply about the real impact of the games we create - and how we create them - on our world.
