  • Mikes email: Three step plan
  • Nehemiah asks what impact DDR5 RAM will have on the PS4

Xbox One < WinRT?

The key gist is simple: this week, Microsoft made its pitch to developers to build for its two key, and connected, platforms, Windows and Windows Phone. The shared Windows core of each was an obviously important topic both in keynotes, and sessions.

In a nutshell, this was our experience covering Microsoft Build 2013 this week at the Moscone Center.

\”I\’m not diminishing Sony\’s performance claims and I wasn\’t trying to be arrogant or dismissive,\” Penello wrote in a NeoGAF thread which reacted to his initial comment: \”The problem is that Sony decided to go out and publish a bunch of numbers, which are in some ways meaningless\”.

Retake: OYUA

[asa]B0050SZD18[/asa]

On paper, the specs of the next-gen Android console seem formidable enough. The Ouya runs on a vidia Tegra 3 Quad-core 1.7GHz CPI and is accompanied by a 520MHz Nvidia GeForce ULP GPU, offers 1GB DDR3 memory and 8GB of internal flash memory storage, operates on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with a custom Oyua user interface, and features a wireless controller.

  • Bill from episode 10 asks:

Afraid attaching myself too much into one language maybe isn\’t the best thing for a newbie
programmer. And if i learned many things from a language i despised (java), i imagine it\’s in my best interested to try a new language as well.

Start more projects in C or try some ruby / python / go? (if i go to a new language, i\’m leaning at GO)”

  • Kyle asks about the Go language for desktop apps
  • Daniel asks “what happened with the Ouya”

Hoopla:

Revisiting the OUYA

OUYA has just released a brand new firmware update in time for E3 (yes, E3 madness continues) that brings about some much needed new features and improvements.

Indie Devs Hope for PS4 Love

Indie publisher and developer Curve has issued an official press release to declare its \’focus on PS4 development\’ following \”the lack of independent support currently announced from Microsoft and the Xbox One.\”

We also reaffirmed our dedication to independent developers and their ability to self-publish on PlayStation. We\’ve increased our efforts in a huge way to bring unique gaming experiences to PlayStation platforms, and as we just revealed, we have an excellent lineup of games coming to the PlayStation 4 from the indie development community.

Oops! I’ve built my business around an abandoned platform!

High-speed ports mean that Apple is moving expansion outside the chassis for its high-end machines. It\’s a departure for the Mac Pro, but it\’s in line with decades of Apple thinking.

Yes, you can connect USB 3.0 drives, Thunderbolt hard drives, and PCIe to Thunderbolt expansion boxes to the new Mac Pro. Expansion boxes like the ones from Sonnet and OWC let you pull the video input or graphics output card to your Thunderbolt Mac. They can also let you connect multiple eSATA drives to a Thunderbolt Mac if your company has standardized on eSATA drives.

Sony has demonstrated a convincing commitment to indie at its E3 press conference, calling numerous independent developers to the stage as it insisted that small studios and self publishing are vital to the PlayStation 4.

Now, onto the Ouya. I am not the biggest fan of The Verge, they really like to go down on Apple\’s \’little Apple\’. But they did bring up one good point: because all the games need a free version, most games are plauged by nagging for DLC and freemium content with ads. That\’s a huge loss and would drive anybody insane, and would discredit the Ouya as a \’serious\’ gaming platform. Another thing is I don\’t think Ouya\’s upgrade frequency will help them, the way that processors are exponentially getting faster, people will start expecting better and better graphics. And devs would find it hard to keep both ends of the spectrum, high graphics and compatibility with old versions of the console, in balance.

Also, I don\’t think that you have the demographic that will buy the Ouya correct. Gamers will still buy consoles and PCs, but the WalMart crowd that buys cheapo tablets and smartphones would love the Ouya and all of it\’s free games.)

Mike’s Grand Experiment:

Code Journal has done extremely well on the Mac App Store recently. It reached as high as number 31 for free apps overall and number 2 in its category. Needless to say I was shocked by the sheer number of users downloading the app

LucasArts Shutdown:

\”After evaluating our position in the games market, we\’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company\’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games,\” LucasArts parent company LucasFilm said in a statement. \”

Always Online:

But recent reports indicate that the idea behind the working of the Microsoft Xbox 720 could cause big problems to the company in terms of sales, popularity and revenue. Recent reports indicate that the Microsoft Xbox 720 will always have to be connected to the internet in order to use the gaming console. So even if you are playing alone at home, you will still need an internet connection to keep the console running.

With a public Twitter account comes great responsibility—a good rule of thumb is that you shouldn\’t tweet anything your mother or your boss would object to seeing. According to GameInformer, Microsoft Creative Director Adam Orth\’s tone-deaf comments regarding his inability to understand why rumors of an always-connected Xbox were causing some customers angst have led to his becoming former Microsoft Creative Director Adam Orth.
