1:18AM He's now talking about portable gaming ? "a ubiquity of entertainment" is how Sony will expand its appeal. "No one in the industry could even imagine such a dramatic change taking place," Kaz says, talking about the original PSP. But he says that while people would once play games on a standalone gaming device, like the PSP, smartphones are changing that landscape and Sony, as a platform holder, needs to recognize that.

1:19AM "After 6 years, these multifunction devices are tehcnically ready for a PSP-like experience." "As a company that provides new forms to users, we also consider it our mission to help the content creators in this room find the answers."

1:21AM "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are announcing PlayStation Suite." Wow! PlayStation Suite brings PlayStation content to Android-based smartphones and tablets.

1:22AM But it's not just existing PlayStation content, "it will also provide a new mobile framework for the development of totally new content." But it's not just the Sony-developed Xperia Play ? Kaz says they'll be approving multiple devices to ensure a quality PlayStation experience. The platform will include "legacy games of PlayStation archives."

1:24AM "We will first emulate the first generation PSP titles to be available on PS Suite devices." So that's PSP1 games in, and we imagine PS1 games as well, in addition to PS Suite-exclusive games. Wonder if there's any chance of seeing PSP2 games on PS Suite ... oh yeah, PSP2 hasn't been announced yet. PS Suite is a "unique and secure environment for distributing content."

1:25AM "This new game framework is to attract as many new developers as possible... This is a hardware-agnostic game framework that simplifies content" creation.

1:26AM Also announced: The PlayStation Store for Android. Users can purchase games directly from their Android phones or tablets. Titles shown on stage include: Cool Boarders 2, Syphon Filter, Rally Cross, Wild Arms, and MediEvil ... waitaminute, those aren't PSP1 titles. Those are PlayStation titles.

Anddddddddddddddddd, I believe the PSP2 has just been announced! Might be truly called the NGP(Next Generation Portable)

Quick Specs:

Front and Rear facing Camera with a mic

5" OLED Screen

Front and Rear Touch Pads

3G + Wifi, GPOS

Six Axis Motion Sensing

4x Resolution of the PSP

YUP, confirmed.

"10:34 Ryan Clements:

NGP will accept a new game medium, flash based.

10:34 Ryan Clements:

I think this is actually called the NGP. Wow.

"

EDIT:

Released this holiday season for Japan. So expect it next year for everyone else i guess.

Ok, interesting tidbit

"10:36 Ryan Clements:

Graphical features are said to rival that of the PS3.

"

I hope sony's not talking too far, for a handheld.

But how will people install these in their phones, due to the rules of the android store, they can't offer it through that, so people will need to manually download and install it. then there's the issue of how it actually works. their original non android store that came with the xperia didn't allow you to redownload stuff you bought, so if you had to reformat or something, you needed to buy again.

I imagine it would be a separate app that you can download from the Android Marketplace or maybe just from a website (I don't have an Android, so I can't say for sure). You'll then most likely use your PSN credentials to login and buy the games. If that is the case, it would be nice if you could just freely download games that you've already paid for on the PSP or PS3.

Sounds nice... But... L and R buttons on a touch screen?.... (talking PSP emu here...)

I guess this is profits-wise better than a PSP Phone, way better, but I'm still not really in there...

IMHO: smartphone = light gaming

handheld console = real gaming...

Glassed Silver:win

then again, the xperia play has all those button built in so that's a smartphone with real gaming then.

and no they can't, as I said, let you download it over marketplace, they'll run into the same wall as Kongregate, only a lot harder.

that would be awfully complicated to use a BT controller on your cell phone...

either you're going to have to set down your phone on something and squint to see it in the difference, or you'll have one of those awfully flimsy universal holders, that attaches the phone to the controller device, and sort of holds it in pklace. except the whole thing is hueg

Sony doesn't, besides this would never be allowed on the iPhone anyway.

Even on android this needs to be donwloaded manually, since google don't allow other app sotres on the app store. iPhone don't allow other app stores period.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
