    Anywhere, Any­device Gaming Siddharth Singh, Soh Chor Kiong Ricky, Adrian David Cheok Human Interface Technology Laboratory Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering National University of Singapore, Singapore fg0202382,eng00673,[email protected] ABSTRACT This poster describes a multi-player networked Pong game that can be played in real-time on mobile devices and sta- tionary PCs. Through this game we intend to explore the realm of the next generation of games which, we believe, will incorporate elements of mobility, multiple connectiv- ity methods and playability on different types of devices. The system comprises the Sony-Ericsson P800 phone, a cen- tral game server, and personal computers. The client-server model has been used so that all interaction is done through the game server. The server can host multiple games at the same time. Each game has two players and a number of spectators who can view the game. The spectators can in- teract with each other using text messages. The Pong game is not the end to itself. This work is the core of an ongo- ing research project on multiple platform, multiple player mobile entertainment.

  • The Distribution and Marketing of the Sony Playstation
    Bringing the Sony Playstation to Japan: A Case of Business Fitting the Technology Zhong-Min Hu SUID: 04836359 STS 145 Case History March 16, 2003 A Decisive Day in Console History: December 3, 1994 will be remembered as a decisive day in the history of console gaming. It was on this day that Ken Kutaragi’s technological brainchild, the Sony Playstation, shown below in Figure 1, stormed Japan, selling 100,000 of its initial 300,000 units in a single day. Hundreds of Japanese lined outside game stores everywhere in Japan, gobbling up the precious machines with no attention given to their price. (Asakura 52) By 1998, the Playstation had sold more than 40 million units worldwide. (Lowood) It effectively dethroned the Nintendo kingdom, at one point prompting Nintendo’s proud patriarch, Hiroshi Yamauchi to admit, “Sony is dominating the market, and Nintendo has fallen behind in the race. When I go to Akihabara, I get the Figure 1: More than one third of the initial 300,000 Playstation units were sold in the first day alone. impression that the Nintendo 64 is going to be obliterated.” (Asakura 139) The story behind the rise of the Playstation phoenix from the ashes of a humiliating rejection at the hands of Nintendo is indeed complex. To be sure, the technology brought to life by Kutaragi was historically unprecedented in that the Playstation outperformed every console that had previously existed. And it is true that all successes begin with good technology, but the Playstation had the added advantage of a business model that was well suited to the technology.

Chapter 5 FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF A PLAYSTATION 3 CONSOLE Scott Conrad, Greg Dorn and Philip Craiger Abstract The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a powerful gaming console that sup- ports Internet-related activities, local file storage and the playing of Blu-ray movies. The PS3 also allows users to partition and install a secondary operating system on the hard drive. This “desktop-like” func- tionality along with the encryption of the primary hard drive containing the gaming software raises significant issues related to the forensic anal- ysis of PS3 systems. This paper discusses the PS3 architecture and behavior, and provides recommendations for conducting forensic inves- tigations of PS3 systems. Keywords: Sony PlayStation 3, gaming console, forensic analysis 1. Introduction The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) hit the Japanese and North American retail markets in November 2006 (March 2007 in Europe) [13].

  • ACCESSORIES for PLAYSTATION®3 BECOME AVAILABLE Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™), Memory Card Adaptor and BD Remote Control
    ACCESSORIES FOR PLAYSTATION®3 BECOME AVAILABLE Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™), Memory Card Adaptor and BD Remote Control Tokyo, October 3, 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™) and Memory Card Adaptor would become available simultaneously with the launch of PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system on November 11th, 2006, in Japan, at a recommended retail price of 5,000 yen (tax included) and 1,500 yen (tax included) respectively. BD Remote Control will also become available on December 7th 2006, at a recommended retail price of 3,600 yen (tax included). Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS) for PS3 employs a high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system, which detects natural and intuitive movements of hands for real-time interactive play. With the adoption of Bluetooth® wireless technology, it allows up to 7 players to play at the same time, without having to attach any other external device such as a multitap. In addition, by simply plugging a USB cable to the controller, users can seamlessly switch from wireless to wired connection and automatically charge its battery while the controller is in use. Controller battery lasts up to 30 hours when fully charged *1). The new Memory Card Adaptor enables users to transfer data saved on Memory Cards for PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 onto the hard disk drive of PS3. To transfer data, users need to simply insert their Memory Cards to the Memory Card Adaptor connected to PS3 via a USB port. In December, BD Remote Control will also become available, which enables users to easily operate movies and music content on BD (Blu-ray Disc) and DVD on PS3.

  • The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 6(9): 82-99 http://loading.gamestudies.ca The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde Nick Montfort Mia Consalvo Massachusetts Institute of Technology Concordia University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We argue that the Dreamcast hosted a remarkable amount of videogame development that went beyond the odd and unusual and is interesting when considered as avant-garde. After characterizing the avant-garde, we investigate reasons that Sega's position within the industry and their policies may have facilitated development that expressed itself in this way and was received by gamers using terms that are associated with avant-garde work. We describe five Dreamcast games (Jet Grind Radio, Space Channel 5, Rez, Seaman, and SGGG) and explain how the advances made by these industrially productions are related to the 20th century avant- garde's lesser advances in the arts. We conclude by considering the contributions to gaming that were made on the Dreamcast and the areas of inquiry that remain to be explored by console videogame developers today. Author Keywords Aesthetics; art; avant-garde; commerce; console games; Dreamcast; game studios; platforms; politics; Sega; Tetsuya Mizuguchi Introduction A platform can facilitate new types of videogame development and can expand the concept of videogaming. The Dreamcast, however brief its commercial life, was a platform that allowed for such work to happen and that accomplished this. It is not just that there were a large number of weird or unusual games developed during the short commercial life of this platform. We argue, rather, that avant-garde videogame development happened on the Dreamcast, even though this development occurred in industrial rather than "indie" or art contexts.
