Sony will will be running a massive sale on the European PSN this week and will be giving you some rather good savings on a bunch of Japanese classics.
The sale will run between now and the 18th of September and includes everything from PS1 Classics like Grandia to the brilliantly weird Catherine.
Dr. Serkan Toto says: While things do not look great for many studios in the West, things are very different in Japan – and I was shocked how little people in the industry still know and understand about the third biggest gaming market in the world (which is a probably a positive for a Japan game industry consultant like myself).
Honestly, it looks about the same if we are measuring a company's success on their all time high stock price. It has nothing to do with the sentiments some in the industry have.
Objectively the two biggest problems are cost cutting and consolidation.
Sony has published a new patent pertaining to unique lip-sync evaluation and fixing system to automatically fix NPC mouth movements to align them with the original dialogue’s timing, resolving sync issues.
This lip sync thing sounds pretty awesome. But one cannot shake the feeling, this is going to be combined with AI, and….. sigh
AI in this use is no big deal imo and result in better animation for character models.
If implemented correctly, AI is a great addition. For me, the problem with AI starts when companies like Activision use it to pump out art work, cosmetics etc to cut corners when they make so much money already.
A new patent published by Sony discusses PlayStation controllers that are solar-powered, with the ability to charge the battery under light.
There are these new inventions called windows, I just used mine for the first time today

My Samsung TV remote charges on solar-power or artificial lights. Or a USB if needed. The tech is hopefully getting better so it can charge a gaming controller.
In before the "boohoo, bring it to the US"
I would totally get Vagrant Story. Man that game was complicated when I was 15. It was my first RPJ game
