PS3: Reality Synthesizer

Kutaragi gives keynote speech at PC expo in Japan.

...Sony has opted for a more Nintendo-like role for the WPC Expo, having a presence through a key note speech given by Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi. At the keynote, Kutaragi discussed the PS3 and how it will help to create a digital future.

Today's new buzzword, introduced by Kutaragi during his speech, is "Reality Synthesis." Kutaragi used this term (he said it in English) to describe what he feels is the core of the PS3: "creating a real time world in real time."

Kutaragi also tossed out many of the concepts Sony's been using in tandem with the PS3 since the start, from home servers to interconnected CELL processors. The CELL will allow for multiple streams of noise-free high definition video with a wide dynamic range and high frame rate. Using a home server featuring multiple CELL processors, you'll be able to download contents from the internet using high speed connections and up convert it in real time before playing on the PS3...

PS3 to run at 120 fps?

It's possible, says Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi; all that's needed is a TV capable of displaying it.

Appearing at the Tokyo International Digital Conference on Thursday to talk about the technological capabilities of the PlayStation 3 and the Cell processor, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi said he expects the PS3 to be capable of running games at a stunning 120 fps, according to a report in The Nikkei BP.

Never mind that even newer TVs aren't capable of refreshing the screen 120 times in a single second. Kutaragi said that when new technology comes to market, he hopes to have the PS3 ready to take advantage of it.

As for the Cell chip at the heart of the PS3, Kutaragi also had high hopes for its future beyond gaming. Taking High Definition TV as an example, he said that the Cell chip could take advantage of the technology in many ways, such as displaying newspapers in their actual size, showing multiple high definition channels on the screen at once, and video conferencing. He emphasized that the Cell can be used to decode more than 10 HDTV channels simultaneously, and it can also be used to apply effects such as rotating and zooming.

Coming soon to an Internet message board near you: waves of more-hardcore-than-thou posters referring to any game running at 60 frames per second (fps) as "a slideshow."

Later, he introduced the idea of a Cell cluster server that operates with 16 units, each consisting of eight Cell chips running at 2.5Ghz. That would total a processing power of 25.6 teraflops. Kutaragi also outlined plans to shrink the chip from the current 90 nanometer process to a 65 nanometer process in the future, and eventually down to a 45 nanometer process.

En su línea vamos...

"This is where this article gets even longer, but read on, please. I will explain to you how the Human Eye can perceive much past the mis conception of 30 FPS and well past 60 FPS, even surpassing 200 FPS."

Sigue siendo una tonteria, pq alomejor la PS3 pueda hacer algo pekeño a 120fps, pero un juego no va a ir a eso creo yo...

+ Kutaragi showed PS3 game demos (3 movies including F1 and Getaway: the Future Vision), which he describes as 'shocking reality, rather than thrilling', in the HDCAM SR format on a 4K x 2K capable Sony 4K SXRD. One of the PS3 keywords is Reality Synthesis, which creates realtime worlds in realtime.

+ Cell processor offers wide dynamic-range video-signal reproduction, noise-free, high framerate, full-HD multistreaming. As one of possibilitis for future technologies, he mentioned video-playing framerate. In contrast to 50-60 fields/sec for today's TV and 72-90 frames/sec, he wants PS3 to output higher-framerate movies such as 120 fps with future video interface standards. Also, video input by a fast camera with a high framerate can be used for new types of games and broadcast/communication.

+ Usage models for HD displays includes playing a golf videogame along with a real golf game, looking at newspapers at full size, playing multiple HDTV streams simultaneously with filtering such as rotate/resize applied, video chat, quick zapping for different kinds of rich contents, and so on. A home server with multiple Cell processors will download rich contents on internet, transcode, do upconversion, process metadata, then PS3 plays it.

+ Using huge remote computing resources such as a movie production environment for online games - for example login to Sony Pictures Entertainment servers may translate into an online game.

+ A 2.5GHｚ * 8 * 16 Cell rack reaches 25.6 TFLOPS. Putting 40 of these in a room can make a 1 PFLOPS server. SCE can use it for a network game but can be applied to other industries to incubate new usage models.

+ Using EyeToy for pattern recoginition systems, like lip reading in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Sony Online Creating 'Free' Game

Following a model more prevalent in Asian MMOs, Sony Online Entertainment President, John Smedley, announced that his company would be breaking from a subscription model and releasing a 'free' game.

The pitch is this: get the game for free, pay for only for new content (e.g. expansions, item sales, etc.). Ideally, this model will get more people hooked due to the lack of any barriers initial customer acquisition and the benefits is that the costs customer pay are more directly linked to what they consume.

"We're going to be launching this quickly," Smedley said, though he declined to reveal the game title. "We see it as a powerful way of getting people in" to online gaming, because many video game aficionados are put off by subscription-based games."

Smedley announced the new model at the Austin Games conference yesterday and the first title using this model is expected in the fall of 2006.
