Sony Cambridge's AAA PS3 Game Set For 2012, Will Have Online | PlayStation LifeStyle

We’ve previously revealed that Sony’s Cambridge Studios are working on “a high profile, multi-million selling franchise” for the PS3. Now, a job listing not only points to when the AAA game will release, but also that it will have online capabilities.

2011 is filled with exclusive PlayStation games developed by Sony Computer Entertainment, but if you were worried that they have overloaded the year with games, and left nothing for 2012, think again. The job listing asks for “an engineer to contribute to the studio’s ongoing PlayStation development, on a high-profile title scheduled for 2012 release.” However, it may not see release until the later half of 2012 as the game is still at an “early stage”.

Additionally, the game will almost certainly have online support, with the applicant expected to work on “backend online services” and have a “working knowledge of NP and PSN services on the PlayStation platform, and their in-title integration.”

What the game actually is, is unknown, but it is part of a huge franchise, and is repeatedly referred to as “AAA”. Possible sequels are even hinted at, with the job title allowing for the applicant to “play a key part in shaping its long-term future.”

It’s important to note that the studio never explicitly confirm that the game is their PS3 title – it could be Killzone on NGP – but considering that the listing prefers candidates with PS3 experience, and the fact that the company has recently put up several adverts for other positions on the PS3 team, it’s likely that this is indeed for the PS3.

Are you looking forward to a new MediEvil - the current bookies’ favourite – or are you hoping that the studio is working on a different franchise? Let us know in the comments below.

Settlement in George Hotz Case
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media

Joint Statement

Sony Computer Entertainment America (“SCEA&#8221 and George Hotz (“Hotz&#8221 today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by SCEA against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California. The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.

Both parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. “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.”

“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.” Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony’s internet services and websites.

In the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.

“We want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,” added Russell. “We appreciate Mr. Hotz’s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution.”

Wat is een 'permanent injunction'?

[Goldrusher]

Dat hij voorgoed / permanent niks meer mag doen waarvoor Sony hem had aangeklaagd.
Dus al die PS3 hacks en het verspreiden (van info) ervan.

Nintendo Set to Reveal New Console - Wii News at IGN

[Goldrusher]

Gewoon de Wii met net genoeg extra power voor HD-output. Met wat marketing zijn ze weer voor vijf jaar gerust. Easy money.

[lowscore]

Meer hoeft niet voor mij! Ik ben perfect tevreden met Wii graphics, op de lage resolutie na. 't Zou voor mij dus zalig zijn mocht de achterwaardse compatibiliteit Wii games renderen in hoge resoluties. Dan kan ik eindelijk eens deftig aan mijn Wii collectie beginnen.

[den crack]

Toch moet je respect hebben voor nintendo, ondanks de zware oorlog tussen de xbox en de playstation heeft de wii de wedstrijd gewonnen (zonder al te veel moeite).

[koolcast]

Ze hebben inderdaad meer verkocht, maar het aantal Wii's wat actief is een pak minder dan de verkochte Wii's. Bij de PS3 en XBOX 360 is dat verschil veel kleiner.

[Shadowfox]

Inderdaad, iedereen heeft een Wii (gehad) maar niemand speelt daar op

[MegaMentor]

Met de vergrijzing enzo, logisch dat Wii's beter verkopen

[koolcast]

Inderdaad, iedereen heeft een Wii (gehad) maar niemand speelt daar op

Jep, heb er vroeger ook een gehad. Heeft mss in totaal nog geen 24h gebold.

[Nariwari]

Met Xenoblade, The Last Story en Skyward Sword zijn er toch weer drie titels dit jaar die qua feel niet te vinden zijn op de overige consoles. Dus mij hoor je niet klagen moest het ooit mogelijk zijn om dergelijke games via BC op een Wii HD te kunnen spelen.

The former president and chairman of Sony, Norio Ohga, who was credited with developing the compact disc, has died aged 81, the company has said.

Ohga, who led the company from 1982 to 1995, died of multiple organ failure in the Japanese capital, Tokyo.

He was an executive by his 30s - a rarity in a Japanese company - becoming the president of CBS Sony Records (now Sony Music Entertainment) in 1970s.

From the start, he recognised the potential of the compact disc, and personally drove Sony's initiatives to introduce the format.

During the development of the CD, it was Ohga who pushed for a disc that was 12cm (4.8in) in diameter, because it provided sufficient capacity at 75 minutes to store all of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Sony sold the world's first CD in 1982 and CDs overtook LP record sales in Japan five years later. Ohga's specifications are still used today, and have shaped formats developed since, including MiniDisc and DVD.

In 1989, he oversaw the $3.4bn purchase of Hollywood studios Columbia Pictures, which was criticised as unwise and costly at the time.

Ohga also presided over the launch of Sony's game business, which went on to develop the successful "PlayStation" console.
