Specialist doesn't expect PS4 and Xbox One to simplify AI production challenges
New console hardware will not solve the problems facing AI programmers today, says one of the sector’s middleware specialists.
Thomas Young (pictured), owner of PathEngine, a firm that specialises in pathfinding middleware for games, said there are certain areas where better hardware can help with AI, but, in many cases hardware capabilities are not what are holding back AI implementation.
Improved graphics and animation fidelity can actually increase the cost of implementing better character behaviours, he warns, and believes its issues like this that are making top-tier games more complex to build.
“I think there’s a problem with triple-A titles being fundamentally hard to scale, which isn’t going to be solved by the next-gen hardware improvements, and in order for us to see really big improvements in AI and character behaviour it may be necessary to find ways around these kinds of scalability issues,” he told Develop.
“Moving towards more procedural generation is something that can be interesting from this point of view, and automating content generation processes is definitely a good idea.”

E3 may be over but Sony will do all it can to ride on the wave of goodwill that it generated in LA for as long as possible.
Speaking to Yahoo, SCE chief exec Andrew House and made further statements about the company’s appreciation of the public backlash to Microsoft’s Xbox One DRM.
Smelling blood, he even moved to dismiss the idea that this is all simply going to fade away.
“You could argue that it’s a storm in a teacup – a very vocal minority of passionate gamers,” House stated. “This huge outpouring of feeling around the concept of ownership of content. But I have to say I don’t see it that way.
“I think we saw a lightning rod for feeling that has been bubbling up – that doesn’t just apply to games, but to entertainment overall. I think there’s an increasing nervousness about what ownership of content means, in the absence of physical goods. When that nervousness was starting to migrate into control over physical goods that consumers have purchased, that was a bridge too far.
“I want to be very clear about where we have been on this issue. I think there’s a danger that we could be seen to have reacted and capitalised on a situation. When we first announced PS4 in February, people were saying, ‘Oh, Sony’s being coy’ – almost with some implicit suspicion. It struck us as very odd.
“We had no intention of changing our position – it hasn’t changed from what it’s been for the last fifteen years. We believe that if you buy it, you own it, you’re able to do with it what you want.”

Sony’s brave experiment that is Wonderbook is to receive two new games in the coming year, including a new Harry Potter entry.
E3 saw the announcement of both Wonderbook: Book of Potions and Wonderbook: Walking With Dinosaurs.
The former is a fully Pottermore licensed product developed in conjunction with Harry Potter writer JK Rowling. It follows the template laid down by 2012’s Book of Spells.
The latter is based on the BBC documentary licence of the same name.
Late last month Sony released the second Wonderbook title, Diggs Nightcrawler.

An aggressive Sony took E3 by storm last week, but says it was only ‘one good day’.
The company’s pre-E3 press conference was quite low on new games compared with Xbox. But its decision to not force online checks every 24 hours, or block trade-ins, was a real crowd-pleaser.
And PS4’s £350 price tag is more attractive than Xbox’s £430 (including Kinect).
The result has been a huge increase in pre-orders.
Yet SCE UK boss Fergal Gara has played down the significance of winning E3, telling MCV that the company needs to keep its foot on the gas up to launch and beyond.
“Winning is determined by a much longer timescale,” he said. “We were very pleased with how our messages went down at E3. We aim to be the best for gamers, and this was a key step in that direction.
“E3 is important for early momentum and generating pre-orders. But it is only one step along. We feel we had a good day but there is loads more hard work to do, and we are focused on that.”
The E3 event marked a more aggressive Sony, with barbed remarks aimed at Microsoft during the show. And Gara says the firm won’t hold back in the future.
“My UK and Ireland team is under the most competitive pressure in Europe,” he said.
“So if we want to be more successful, we have to earn it. We are have to be more driven and focused.”

Jpcsp SVN r3238 is compiled. JPCSP is the most advanced PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator, allowing you to play your PSP games on a PC. Even though Jpcsp is written in Java, it can already reach 100% PSP speed on a lot of commercial games... and the emulator performance is constantly increasing. Jpcsp takes full advantage of dual-core processors, matching the PSP dual-core architecture. Even a quad-core can give a small performance improvement by leaving free CPU cores for the Java JIT Compiler and the graphics cache.
Jpcsp SVN changelog:
r3238
fixed menu item enabled even if DebuggerMemory is not used

Rogero @ tortuga-cove.com] Hi everybody, I was away for a long while, a lot of work and real life projects to handle lately, I don't even have time to follow the scene news but I still managed to pre-order a Launch Day Edition PS4 and a Day One Xbox One too. Here's my build of the CFW4.41 v1.00 ( it's still v1.00 the very same PUP built initially ) and honestly this may be the last too, I may not have the time to work on all the reversing/patching/building of future firmware versions. The CFW have all the basic patches needed as usual but ToolBox payload was not updated and not included this time so ToolBox won't show on [app_home] (before anyone start asking about it).

Team Cobra has announced that the Cobra ODE hardware is now in production. Check this forum topic in the Cobra tech forum here at EurAsia for full details, videos of Cobra ODE in action and press release (in PDF). I think the most impressive part is that they have managed to nail PS3 Super Slim (CECH-40xx) which is supported! Let me know if you figure out how that was done.

PSP States has been improved, and better to use. Now it uses images to get it well organized. It has 18 slots and can store ISO/CSO's, Homebrews and UMD games. So if you ever got stuck in a game and you couldn't save you wished that you had something like PSP States.

This update is mainly focused on the multiplayer menu. After some comments saying that the menu from Version 4.8 was not detailed enough, version 4.9 makes them more detailed. Now, if you press on the multiplayer feature in the main menu you'll go to a small "how to play" menu about the multiplayer feature. Then, you'll go to the multiplayer track list which shows a small preview of the racing track you will choose.
This version has the "Sonic" character changed with the "Shy Guy" character. However, the "Shy Guy" character doesn't look that great and still has some bugs. We might see this fixed in the next version. Apart from this and the multiplayer menu not much has been added. For more info see the changelog:
Changelog:
•Multiplayer menu improved
•Details before playing multiplayer track
•Shy Guy switched with Sonic
•How to play Multiplayer info

The biggest feature of the 1.0.4 (or 1.0.2 MoD) update is that the Homebrew is playable in English. That is something that wasn't possible in the previous versions. The original language of this Homebrew is Russian, so not only the Russian speaking gamers can enjoy it, but almost everyone. Also what's new in the latest update is the look. The intro is changed, and a new XMB look is also added. So now we can enjoy science on our PSP in English with a much improved look.
Now what do I need to do? Mix and match the elements to get new ones which are also to be used in alchemical chain. The point is simple: initially with four basic elements, and combining them together to open all the available items. The four elements are fire, water, land and air and with these elements you should be able to make plenty of other elemental combinations. Too bad I know nothing about science...
Changelog:
__________________________________________________ _____________________
v1.0.4
•Change Eboot icon (sign and unsign)
•Change all Name (translate russia to english) of In Game pics
•translate all in english
•Change Intro
v1.0.2
•Posted recognition game. Now, to find out what your part, you need to go on the cover of the game, choose Settings => Help.
v1.0.1
•Solves the problem of occurrence of elements of the inning.
