  • 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. Copyright © 2014 by Seth Ascher. † Duke University School of Law, J.D. 2014. 1 Video of the press announcement is available on numerous websites.

  • The Order 1886 Full Game Pc Download the Order: 1886
    the order 1886 full game pc download The Order: 1886. While Killzone: Shadow Fall and inFAMOUS: Second Son have given us a glimpse of how Sony's popular franchises can be enhanced and expanded on the PlayStation 4, The Order: 1886 is exciting for a completely different reason. This isn't something familiar given a facelift-- this is a totally new project, one whose core ideas and gameplay were born on next-generation hardware. It's interesting, then, that this also serves as the first original game for developer Ready at Dawn. Ideas for The Order originally began forming in 2006 as a project that crafted fiction from real-life history and legends. Indeed, one of the game's more intriguing elements is that mix of fantasy and reality. This alternate-timeline Victorian London is covered in a layer of grit and grime true to that era, contrasted by dirigibles flying through the sky and fantastical weapons used by the game's protagonists, four members of a high-tech (for the times) incarnation of the Knights of the Round Table. That idea of blending different aspects together may be what's most compelling about The Order: 1886 beyond just its premise. The first thing you notice is the game's visual style. There's a cinematic, film-like look to everything, and not only are the overall graphical qualities and camera angles tweaked to reflect that, but The Order also runs in widescreen the entire time--not just during cutscenes like in other games. It's a decision that some have bemoaned, since those top and bottom areas of the screen are now "missing" during game-play.

  • The History of Video Games
    The history of video games • Introduction • Arcades • Nintendo • Sega • Sony • Microsoft • PC • Conclusion • Bibliography We are going to talk about the most known gaming systems up until now. We are also going to talk about the major console-producing companies, one by one. Arcade games are coin-operated machines, usually installed in public businesses, such as restaurants. They were most popular from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Even though they lost popularity in the western market, they still continue strong in Asian territory such as Japan. Arcades were home to great games like: Mortal Kombat Pac-man And Donkey Kong This is one of the most well-known and prominent video game companies of all time. Although they didn’t start out with video games they had great sucess with the Nintendo Entertainment System and it’s sucessor.Until now they have released the N64, the Gamecube, the Wii and Wii U. They also released various mobile consoles like the Gameboy, Ds, 3Ds and their variants. Nintendo owns great franchises like: Mario Legend of Zelda Metroid And Pokémon SEGA is also a very important company, being the competitor of Nintendo during the 1980s. They achieved this with Sonic, the companie’s mascot. He was a platformer like Nintendo’s Mario, but instead of being an italian plumber he was a fast and “hip” blue hedgehog. In 2001, the Dreamcast (their latest console) failed and forced the company into going third-party. This means they started making games for other consoles instead of their own. They have many iconic franchises like: Crazy Taxi Sonic the Hedgehog And Super Monkey Ball As you know Sony doesn’t only produce games, but they are “big dogs” in the gaming industry.

  • Cgcopyright 2013 Alexander Jaffe
    c Copyright 2013 Alexander Jaffe Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: James R. Lee, Chair Zoran Popovi´c,Chair Anna Karlin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: UW Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Abstract Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James R. Lee CSE Professor Zoran Popovi´c CSE Game balancing is the fine-tuning phase in which a functioning game is adjusted to be deep, fair, and interesting. Balancing is difficult and time-consuming, as designers must repeatedly tweak parameters and run lengthy playtests to evaluate the effects of these changes. Only recently has computer science played a role in balancing, through quantitative balance analysis. Such methods take two forms: analytics for repositories of real gameplay, and the study of simulated players. In this work I rectify a deficiency of prior work: largely ignoring the players themselves. I argue that variety among players is the main source of depth in many games, and that analysis should be contextualized by the behavioral properties of players. Concretely, I present a formalization of diverse forms of game balance. This formulation, called `restricted play', reveals the connection between balancing concerns, by effectively reducing them to the fairness of games with restricted players. Using restricted play as a foundation, I contribute four novel methods of quantitative balance analysis. I first show how game balance be estimated without players, using sim- ulated agents under algorithmic restrictions.

  • Dimensional Branding Group Unveils New Suite of Services; Launches New Website, New Clients
    Dimensional Branding Group Unveils New Suite of Services; Launches New Website, New Clients San Francisco, CA – June 6, 2011 - Dimensional Branding Group (DBG), a San Francisco bay area brand extension agency, has unveiled a new and expanded suite of client services, focusing on promotion and business development. In conjunction with this new initiative, DBG now represents Angry Birds (#1 App in the world) for promotional programs (not licensing) in North America and MINICLIP (global game publisher) for business development. DBG is launching its new motto, "taking brands to new dimensions", an updated logo and website June 12th to further illustrate the changing licensing industry. DBG is an industry leader in digital brand licensing. Currently, its licensing clients; Skee-Ball, had the #3 best selling app in 2010, Jenga, with its top selling global phone & iPad app and interactive game leader PlayStation round out DBG's digital lineup. Larry Seidman, CEO of DBG, believes that DBG's new company branding reflects today’s digital business environment. "Technology has completely transformed the way people learn, socialize, and conduct business and that brands that embrace this new thinking and new patterns will thrive and grow. The rules and approaches for engaging and extending into new markets has changed and with it the metrics for measuring brand equity are now truly multi-dimensional". "As an example, Skee-Ball was a traditional arcade brand three years ago,” says John Leonhardt, President of DBG. “Today, it is a relevant brand because DBG digitally reinvented the IP to become one of the top ten game apps in the world for the past two year’s and has expanded its brand reach through licensing [mobile, gaming (slots), promotion (lotto) and business development simultaneously".
