What is more exciting than a new console reveal? Watching people react to a console reveal. For my part, I thought Sony did a helluva job with their presentation and I appreciated the developer-first theme to the entire PlayStation 4 meeting. This wasn’t some flashy show with celebrities for fans or a chart filled snore for investors, instead it was Sony trying to learn from its mistakes and arrogance around how it positioned the PS3. As with any big media [...]

Sony Folds on Proteomics

Back in January, we reported on some pretty exciting (nerdy) news about a game called FoldIt that relied on human wetware (brains) to figure out proteins’ most efficient folding structures… which only sounds moderately interesting until you realize that figuring out these proteomic puzzles can help researchers develop vaccines and other treatments for Disease. Yes, Disease with a capitol “D.” In addition to FoldIt, which requires active participation by gamers, there was another program that took advantage of your electronic [...]

Sony came out swinging earlier than I expected in an issue that I assumed we’d to have to wait until the next console cycle to come to pass. Digital downloads of major retail console video game releases on the same day as their in-store release will be a reality on PSN in October. Not only that, but some of these games even offer a discounted price over their physical counterparts. The biggest questions yet to be answered are how will [...]

While on a trip to a very foreign and exotic land, Sony executives were approached by a mysterious stranger in a back alley market place. He was holding a small wicker basket and extended the rather common looking object towards the nervous men. They could hear the light breathing of something inside, their inquisitive looks prompting the old man to say: “It is a Gaikai, a premiere player in the game streaming world. Acquiring it could further cement your hold [...]

The room was dark. Suddenly strange noises were being played, but still no visuals. It was late in Sony’s press conference and I knew there was only one necessary thing missing. The feed lights up again and it’s clear: The best has been saved for last. The Last of Us. What followed was a jaw-dropping edge-of-my-seat rollercoaster ride of emotions. Wonder at the urban environment overrun by vegetation, appreciation for the level of detail and, most importantly, amazement from start [...]
