Sony's PlayStation 2 is one of the greatest video game consoles of all time. Not only has it built up a tremendous library of software over the years, but it's also sold more than 145 million units worldwide -- more than any other console to date.
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.
Dear ign

sometimes I don't get IGN. God Hand was given a very low score, but IGN has it on the top 100. I do appreciate that IGN has listed Shadow of the Colossus as number 1 though.
Seriously it's been over 7 years and I still remember going to grab games like Ratchet and Clank and Kingdom Hearts.
Also, so glad Dark Cloud 2 and Rogue Galaxy made the list, as far as action RPGs go I felt those games were much better than the Kingdom Hearts games, but didn't receive the recognition.
I feel that the PS2 may have be the last great platform for JRPGs...
Just change the number in the URL to see the top 10.
Shadow of the Colossus is no 1:

God of War II for me.
