Sony could use OpenGL ES 2.0 for the PS3

No_Style · Jul 31, 2004, 07:00 PM

Translated Through Google:

According to Watch Impress Neil Trevett, president of Khronos Group (and Vice-president at 3Dlabs), consortium charged to discuss and define the specifications of OpenGL ES, declared that "Sony will probably use OpenGL ES 2.0 in Playstation 3". "It is a great change" it added bus Sony had as a practice to use an API owner.

Sony wants to undoubtedly avoid spending of the financial and human resources in the development of an API owner whom the developers hardly appreciate.
API such as OpenGL ES 2.0, will be more easily controlled by the developers of plays, since near to OpenGL 2.0 and it will simplify the bearing of plays on the next generations of portable consoles.

the original playstation wasa joint project between nintendo and sony and another model had dvd and the logo was like the PS2's cube u see in the intro

playstation 2 is quite hard for developers to work with, not because of the limitations but just how its designed. they dude hideo kojima that makes metal gear knows the PS2 in and out, said it is quite hard to work with at times and expect the ps3 to be even harder

but OPENGL 2,0 should make stuff lot easier, i just want to see xbox start crawling and sony getting its licences back. i want nintendo to live and stay as a competitor

I'm sorry man, but you were misinformed.. thew PS2 was good for it's time (about 4 months after it came out)- then the PC completely blew it away again..

Of course the Xbox is just a PC when it comes down to it, albeit a slow one, but it is still a mini PC that blows the PS2 away.. I own a PS2, and I don't have an Xbox. But I bought the PS2 just for GT3 (the only game I ever bought for it, the rest I rented) - Bottom line is that all consoles suck compared to a PC, but the Xbox trumps the PS2 more just because of the time it was released than anything else.. Sony has serious quality control issues too- half the crap they make is defective, and their warranty is crap- that's the main reason Sony sucks.. If it works great, if it doesn't, you just gave Sony your paycheck-- BS if you ask me.

Console Wars.. It never ends.

I think the OpenGL ES 2.0 move help devlopers, but it could also allow a lot of the "newbie" developers to put out crap. But just think of how much faster and better games would be if the developers had a easier language to work with.
