Sony Appoints Kaz Hirai as President and CEO

Sam Naylor — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:30:18 +0000

More CEO news, this time being Kazuo Hirai- who has been moved up the chain to President and CEO of Sony.

Filling the boots of Sir Howard Stringer, Hirai will move up from being head of Sony’s Computer Entertainment division to the position of President and CEO. Stringer will move to a new position as Chairman of the board.

Kazuo Hirai did a bit of brown-nosing on his way up, of course:

Challenging as times are for Sony now, were it not for the strong leadership of Sir Howard Stringer these past seven years, we would have been in a much more difficult position.

Hirai will officially start his new job on the 1st of April. Commence fool’s day jokes now.

Uncharted 3 MP Developer Diary Lets You Punch Enemies In The Nuts

Chris Carlson — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:18:02 +0000

If there’s one thing gamers love to do in multiplayer matches, it’s humiliating their opponent. If you plan on playing multiplayer in Uncharted 3, I hope you have balls of steel because you’re going to need them.

In the latest developer diary for Uncharted 3, game designer Robert Cogburn explains how the melee system works and how you have the ability to punch an enemy in the sack while you run and gun. The video is rather entertaining, check it out!!

Uncharted 3 launches on November 1st, exclusively for PS3.

‘GeoHot’ and Sony Finally Settle PS3 Hacking Case

Matthew Sims — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 19:32:52 +0000

Well, the saga is over, at least for now. Notorious hacker George Hotz better know by his handle “GeoHot” has reached a settlement with Sony Computer Entertainment America. The settlement was in relation to a January lawsuit in which he “allegedly” (which we know he definitely did) breached Sony’s security measures on the PS3 and then proceeded to publish it online for all the world to see.

The full details of the settlement aren’t known, but Mr. Hotz is under injunction that prevents him from disclosing sensitive information about Sony or their PS3 ever again. He agreed, no doubt facing the possibility of a massive fine from Sony. Sony also absolved Hotz of any involvement with the notorious hacker collective, Anonymous.

“It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,” said Hotz, I’m happy to have the litigation behind me.”

“Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us,” said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. “Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.”

Before the settlement, Hotz went in swinging, posting bold demands on his personal website.

“Let’s just say, I want the settlement terms to include OtherOS on all PS3s and an apology on the PlayStation blog for ever removing it…It’d be good PR for Sony too, lord knows they could use it,”

Now, he’s singing a very different tune. Hotz has agreed to cease distribution of jailbreak codes and will no longer be modifying Sony products. In return, Sony is allowing Hotz to keep his PS3 along with the computers he used to distribute the code. Sony had originally sought to seize his hardware, but was unable to do so due to the terms of the settlement. Whatever those may be. If Hotz violates these terms, he may be fined $10,000 per each individual count against him. For every new jailbroken PS3 found in his possession, that’s a whopping ten grand.

GeoHotz might be out of the frying pan, but into the fryer now that Anon is without his allegiance. Will the hackers continue to carry out their assault on Sony for their IP address farming (which they were given legal permission to do by a court judge)? Or will they turn their rage towards Hotz himself?

Gran Turismo 5 November 24th Release Date Confirmed

Chad Lakkis — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 14:51:54 +0000

The long awaited and recently delayed release of Gran Turismo 5 has finally been given a green light release date. According to the Official Sony PlayStation blog, GT5′s virtual rubber will hit the road just a few weeks from now on November 24, 2010.

Those who followed our E3 2010 coverage from the Sony Keynote know that original release date promised to us was November 2, 2010. In fact at the time of the announcement, Epic Games VP, Mark Rein (sitting directly behind me) yelled “really?” in disbelief. Turns out Mark’s skepticism was justified.

As it stands right now, we’ll all have to wait exactly 22 additional days. Of course, they could very well delay it again, but let’s cross our fingers and pray to the Sony Racing Gods that they don’t. Vroom! Vroooom!!

“Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program!” commented Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. “When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed.”

Square Enix And Sony Face “Final Fantasy XIII Broke My PS3″ Lawsuit

Chad Lakkis — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 05:56:57 +0000

What’s the first thing that crosses your mind when a video game freezes while in mid play? Scream? Throw up your arms disgust before unloading on a pint of Ben & Jerry’s? How about filing a class action lawsuit seeking an excess of 5 million dollars in damages against the creators of the game and the makers of the console it froze on? Well, that’s exactly what one gamer did.

Daniel Wolf of San Diego, California, claims in his June 2nd lawsuit, filed against both Sony Computer Entertainment of America and Square Enix, that his Final Fantasy XIII game caused “severe and widespread damage” to his PlayStation 3 console — rendering it incapable of playing any other form of media — even after attempted restarts. He goes on to speak on behalf of other customers (who apparently share his grief), adding that for many of them, the PlayStation 3 console became “totally and permanently inoperable.” Making maters worse, his suit then claims that neither Sony nor Square stepped up to offer their assistance with the situation.

I’m no rocket scientist, but it would seem that this is far from a slam dunk case for Daniel. Systems freeze every day, for various reasons, and while playing various games. And though I don’t doubt the dismay of everyone involved in this case against Sony and Square, the burden of proof is on the prosecution. On one hand, Sony could hypothetically argue that Final Fantasy XIII has frozen on the Xbox 360 as well (which it has), and on the other, Square could counter by bringing forward evidence that documents similar issues caused by other games on the PlayStation 3 console.

Now, I know that I personally had some issues with Final Fantasy XIII. And it did at times feel as if the game was frozen. However, I eventually realized that I’d put the game on pause before slipping into an epileptic seizure after becoming totally fed up with the twenty plus hours of linear gameplay. Never thought to sue anyone though. Oh well.

Chad Lakkis — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 23:36:15 +0000

The Killzone 3 trailer has just been released by Sony and Guerrilla. In it, you’ll lay witness to a slow and steady Helghast beat down by the game’s protagonist, Sergeant First Class Tomas “Sev” Sevchenko. And once the final body hits the pile of corpses that fell before it, the camera pulls in close for a shot of Sev’s face as he puts on the iconic Helghast helmet.

Could this mean that Killzone 3 will give gamers a chance to go under cover as one themselves? Check out the roughly minute long clip and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Sony President Lives in Fantasy Land

Dan Landis — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:10:34 +0000

Great news, Sony fans. According to Kaz Hirai, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America*, Sony is officially leading the console market with the PS3, disregarding silly things like sales numbers and market share.

So how exactly is Sony “officially” leading? In an interview found in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, Kaz Hirai made the following statement:

“This is not meant in terms of numbers, or who’s got the biggest install base, or who’s selling most in any particular week or month, but I’d like to think that we continue official leadership in this industry.”

Okay… barring all of that, how do you discount the massive success of the Wii?

“It’s difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don’t look at their console as being a competitor. They’re a different world, and we operate in our world – that’s the kind of way I look at things.”

And what about Microsoft? Are they not a competitor either?

“With the Xbox – again, I can’t come up with one word to fit. You need a word that describes something that lacks longevity.”

What? So basically, Kaz Hirai feels that Sony is leading the gaming industry because the consoles that are beating it don’t count. I suppose he’s right if you follow that logic (which fanboys always do), but I still think he’s a bit delusional. I guess we can’t expect the fanboys (not regular “fans”, you guys are alright) to live in the real world if the PlayStation boss doesn’t, so I blame Kaz for all this Internet hate and douchebaggery.

Oh, guess what else? I am the father of Jessica Alba’s baby. That paternity test saying I’m not? Doesn’t count. We totally had lots of sex and stuff.

*UPDATE: His official title (according to playstation.com) is President and Group Chief Operating Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment. My B, but even kotaku finds these titles confusing.

LittleBigPlanet Patch Removes Offensive Qur’an Lyrics, 57MB Download on PSN Now

Chad Lakkis — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 08:24:54 +0000

Many of us believed that the recent delay of Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet was meant to allow for a recall, reprinting, and redistribution of the game after what some deemed to be offensive lyrics were brought to the attention of Sony.

While this may still be the case, it is also possible that the move to recall the game was nothing more than Sony’s way to ensure the impending LBP patch would be approved and accessible on PSN before the exclusive PlayStation 3 title hit stores.

Assuming you are one of the ~~foolish~~ fortunate individuals who bid their bi-weekly paycheck on Ebay for a copy of Sackboy’s debut IP, you can log into PSN and download the 57MB patch right now. Everyone else will benefit from the automatic update on November 5th.

[UPDATE] – After speaking with our own Patrick Steen, who is playing the US release of the game, we have confirmation that the patch currently only applies to the EU version and that a US patch has yet to be released.

[UPDATE 10/26/08] – The US patch is now available for download.

Metacritic Founder Talks About LittleBigPlanet Low User Score, Fanboys, and the Site’s Future

Chad Lakkis — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:05:11 +0000

After reading about the suspiciously low Metacritic user score of 6.3 for Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet, I decided to dig into the story a little deeper. For those unfamiliar with the situation, allow me to fill you in.

Metacritic, who by and large is considered the main source for aggregated scoring on the web, offers two score flavors (one for critics and one for users). This is the case across most sites. The problem is, when you are considered the “go to” resource for pretty much anything, there’s a chance that people will make a big deal out of something on your site that they would normally overlook on another.

That said, this specific instance pertains to the scores currently presented on Metacritic for the LittleBigPlanet game. The first, a 9.5 at the time of this article, represents the aggregated score based on several well accepted gaming review sites such as GamePro, IGN, and EuroGamer. The second, more controversial score, is a 6.3, and is compiled via the average score given by a pool of 2,225 user votes.

Gaming news site N4G, which pulls related news from various websites around the web, features a blog post titled “Fanboys pull LittleBigPlanet’s Metacritic score down”, discussing this very topic. Reading some of the furious responses to the score piqued my interest, so I visited the Metacritic site to see first hand what all the fuss was about. Clicking on the “Read user comments” link near the overall user score brings you to the bottom of the page, where the following statement by Marc Doyle, the sites founder, awaits:

“My advice for our faithful users is to focus your attention on the Metascore for this game and not the thousands of user votes, most of which have been submitted before said users have played the game. This is a gaming community, and if people want to stuff the ballot box, there’s not much I can do at this point. When we upgrade the registration requirements for participation on the site in the near future, this type of thing won’t happen. We’ll post the full legitimate user reviews upon the game’s release. As always, thanks for using the site.”

This prompted me to contact Marc directly in order to get a more complete picture of the situation from his end. Specifically, I felt that gamers would want some clarity regarding the portion of his comment stating that most of the user reviews submitted for LBP were made “before said users [had] played the game.”

Firstly, I wanted to know if he would consider eliminating user reviews submitted before the full release of the game, i.e. reviews clearly submitted based on the open beta alone, or even worse, no experience with the game at all, to which he responded:

” … we won’t be clearing those old scores from LBP when it launches, but we will only post reviews from people who have clearly played the game. All the reviews from fanboys and haters who haven’t played it will just be left out. That is true for all products on Metacritic. Humans actually read all of those user reviews (so we can delete profanity, spoilers, etc.), and those humans are told not to post reviews from people who clearly haven’t played the game.”

He then added that the burden of proof they demand from users submitting reviews prior to a game’s release date is be much higher than those doing so after the fact.

Slightly confused, I asked Marc for some clarification as to how the game could have such a low score, if his team was manually looking over each user review submitted. He stated:

“All the [numeric] scores “count” in the overall user average and total votes tally, but we only post a subset of those as [written] user reviews.”

When talking about the future of the site, as well as other things they are doing to help eliminate this type of fanboy nonsense in the future, Marc had the following to say:

“There will be a Metacritic re-design in the future (can’t say exactly when), and as a part of that process, we’re going to beef up our user registration and community functions so that “stuffing the ballot box” won’t be nearly as easy.

The original idea behind allowing users to write user reviews (and vote on them) was to allow those people (like me) who see advanced screenings of movies and sometimes play games ahead of their true release date to write reviews and have them posted on Metcritic. That’s still the case now.

Over the years, people have, by and large, not exploited the fact that you can vote early. Only recently have people started voting en masse for (and against) games like they’ve done with LBP.

Metacritic’s primary “product” is the Metascore, which is the weighted average of scores from professional critics. We include user reviews for obvious reasons, but because that score can never be 100% reliable, it’s given secondary importance on the site. For example, you can’t sort or search by user scores for any products. That will likely change with the redesign.”

Marc obviously has a solid understanding of the space, its evolution, and the challenges that lie ahead. The fact of matter though, is that currently, anyone can visit Metacritic and leave an abnormally low user score, skewing the average, without necessarily saying anything of value at all. I asked him if this was something the site would be revisiting in the immediate future.

” … nothing should change in this regard until we do the redesign. That tally will remain a raw tally, and only the printed user reviews will be “vetted” as useful reviews from people that we think actually played the game … “

He closed the topic by adding that the specifics of “whatever [they] do with the voting system moving forward [have] yet to be established.”

With October 27th just around the corner, LittleBigPlanet is four LittleBigDays away from being officially released. So while the current 6.3 Metacritic user score has been getting most of the attention on the net, I (like Marc himself), kindly ask that you shift your focus to the 95 out of a 100 Metacritic score the game is receiving from the mainstream media. Everything else will sort itself out in due time.

LittleBigPlanet Mini Billboards Being Sold on Ebay

Chad Lakkis — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:15:26 +0000

Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet is proving that little is not only the new big (as the mini billboard shown above cleverly states), it’s also the new entrepreneurial cash cow.

While early copies of the game have been selling on Ebay for upwards of $150, the demand for everything Sackboy doesn’t end there. Miniature LittleBigPlanet billboards (which I must admit look pretty cool) are surfacing on Ebay with starting bids of around $35.

This is not good people. I’m afraid that the rush of attention may eventually overwhelm a young Sackboy, causing him to become emotionally withdrawn in his later years. Do you really want to see a reality TV show thirty years from now staring an overweight and drug addicted Sackman, sitting on a couch, sharing child star stories with Gary Coleman and Corey Haim? I didn’t think so.

Check out a few more of the LBP billboards after the jump.

Sony LBP Delay Not Favoritism, Just Business

Chad Lakkis — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 08:01:57 +0000

LittleBigResistance: Delay of Sackboy

The recent controversy surrounding Sony’s decision to delay the release of LittleBigPlanet, over a Qur’an reference made in one of the tracks, has many gamers flexing their memory muscle in an attempt to illustrate a double standard.

The belief is that Sony’s 2006 decision to essentially ignore the Church of England’s request asking for the removal of the Manchester Cathedral from their Resistance: Fall of man game, paired with the company’s recent willingness to comply to the perceived wishes of a Muslim community, demonstrates favoritism.

Several prime examples appear as comments appended to Kotaku’s recent post regarding the recall. Here are excerpts from a few of my favorites:

“Where’s the balls you had when it came to standing up to the Church of England, Sony?? Fuck you and your double standard, you bastards.” - Lachoy

“Sony, clearly, not willing to lift a finger to defend Western values or preserve our sensibilities, but willing to bend over backward to appease Islamic twits. They take our market for granted.” - rateoforange

To all those bringing up the Church of Manchester incident as a valid analogy: where the fuck have you been for the past 15 years? Stop thinking in absolute terms: “Christians are OK with it, so Muslims should be too.” Yes, there is a double standard here, and no, it’s not the end of the world. - Antiterra

This got me thinking about the two scenarios from a pure business standpoint. Armed with only an opinion, my belief is that Sony isn’t demonstrating favoritism, rather they are making what they believe to be sound business decisions based on a bottom line mentality.

While opinions are nice, I realized that any level of convincing was going to require more than a hunch. I needed proof that the cost of a potential Cathedral replacement would drastically exceed those associated with the recent LittleBigPlanet delay.

Our own Dan Landis, who followed the 2006 Cathedral incident closer than I, was quick to point out one glaring difference: the Church’s complaint was brought to the attention of Sony after the game had already been released for several months. However, for the sake of illustrating my point, we’ll assume both concerns were voiced prior to each game’s release.

The first thing I wanted to figure out was how much it would cost for a team of developers, in terms of salary, to make a new level to replace the Cathedral, had Sony decided to pull it from the game. In order to do that, I needed a rough development time frame. The best answer I found appeared in a June 2006 GameSpot interview with Insomniac CEO, Ted Price.

GameSpot: How long has the game been in development?

Ted Price: We’ve been in production on Resistance: Fall of Man for several months now and were in preproduction for a long time before that. How’s that for a vague answer?

Alright Ted, I’ll go with it. Let’s assume “several months” adds up to six, and “a long time before that” represents about two years. Combine those numbers with the six months time separating the interview and the game’s release and you get three years.

Next, I needed to get some gaming related salary information. I came across a website which outlined ballpark salaries for the most common gaming industry positions utilizing data submitted via a Game Makers Salary Survey. Insomniac’s official site lists the company at one hundred and eighty plus employees strong, so I took a reasonable chunk of that head count and created decent sized team with the basic structure and pay scale outlined in the survey.

The estimate I reached for one month of development time, from a pure salary perspective, totaled $250,000. Taking that number and multiplying it by three years time adds up to $9 million in total cost. Whether this number is accurate or not, it is in line with the quote given by Epic VP, Mark Rein, in a 2007 Wired Game|Life interview regarding the estimated cost to produce Gears of War.

“We spent less than $10 million to make Gears of War. Somewhere between nine and ten million dollars.”

Granted, this may be a low estimate, but it will serve its purpose. Compiling everything I gathered, the hypothetical Resistance replacement level would cost $500,000 with a two month cap on development time.

Assuming the Cathedral itself took about the same time to create, that would be a total loss of $1 million to appease the Church of England. Therefore, had the request been made one week prior to the game’s release, it’s my belief, based on the business reality outlined above, that the change would not have been made.

LittleBigPlanet’s delay consists of an audio track modification, recalled product, and a reprint of the game. Using a baseline of one million copies, at a printing rate of 10 cents per unit (estimated and discounted based on a rate offered to consumers for a similar service), brings the total cost for reprinting to $100,000. Adding a generous amount for product recall and audio rework yields a result less than one-fifth the amount predicted for Resistance.

So while the LittleBigPlanet delay is complex in its own right, I hope the information provided here helps at least a few gamers consider business logic, not favoritism, as a deciding factor.

Afterthought: Do you think that Sony is at fault for playing favorites here, or do you think the entire thing is getting blow out of proportion? Does the game’s delay effect your decision to buy/not buy the game? Share your thoughts below.
