Now all it needs is commitment,talent and resources. With a successful Japanese launch behinfd it,Sony is now preparing for the introduction of the Playstation into the US and Europe.And while Sony's brand name will guarantee it some credibility in the high street,its success will ultimately depend on having a wide range of outstanding software. As Sony's failed Betamax videotape standard proved,it simply isn't enough to have the best technology.For the Playstation to be a success,it needs the cream of the world's development talent behind it. And thats exactly what Sony has been working on. Phil Harrison is Sony Computer Entertainment's European PlayStation evangelist.Since Sept 93 he has spent most of his time convincing developers throughout Europe and (to a lesser extent) in the US of the merits of Sony's game platform.And it hasn't been time wasted:there are now over 100 licensees in Europe,with another 120 in the US and most impressive of all - over 250 in Japan.On top of this,Sony has set up internal teams in the UK,US and Japan to concentrate on developing its own range of titles which according to Harrison include "some extremely hot product".He points out that Sony's first internal efforts -launch underperformers Motor Toon GP and Crime Crackers - are not indicative of whats coming down the line. Although Sony claims a profound commitment to internal development,it has so far counted mainly on the expertise of a few Japanese thirdparties,and even allocated its internal resources to help external programming teams complete titles in time for the launch.Ridge Racer was a prime example ; to enable Namco to understand the technology and get to grips with the preliminary libraries (many were still being written when work on the game began),Sony assisted the company with some intense technical support from Ken Kutagari's R&D division-the team behind the development of the Playstation hardware.According to Sony,the experience gleaned from those few hectic months is now available to all developers. Sony's philosophy has been developer driven from the beginning.When the Playstation technology was being developed in Japan,the company was receptive to the opinions of the people who would be programming it,and this policy continued when the machine was touted around Europe. "When we first came to the European developers a year before the launch,the spec was decided with the exception of the amount of RAM" says Harrison. "The bottom line was that they said they could make better games with an extra megabyte,and so we gave it to them. Since then the decision has been more than vindicated by the quality of the product" The size of Sony's developer base can largely be attributed to its efforts to make game production as streamlined as possible.As well as providing a wide range of programming libraries which are constantly updated and available on-line,Sony Computer Entertainment's HQ's in London,California and Tokyo house thirdparty support teams together with producers and project manager who work closely with thirdparties. This approach is in stark contrast to the isolated approach of Sega and Nintendo, and is seen as one of the catalysts behind the development of games like Ridge Racer and Toh Shin Den. Phil Harrison belives that Sony's emphasis on developer assistance will reduce the amount of time consuming aspects of product development: "Historically,if you look at the development schedule -let's say 12 months - about nine or ten months is spent making the game work in terms of the technology.If its a driving game,its getting the driving bits up and running.If its a shoot-em-up it's getting all the sprites moving about the screen,and you add the gameplay in the last two months.The difference with the Playstation is that you can use the built in 3D hardware relatively easily,thereby diminishing that amorphous ten months of "I'm working on it,honest,Ive got loads of code written but you can't see anything yet" Whilst 3D is the unchartered territory that most developers are keen to explore there remains a powerful 2D sprite engine inside the Playstation that could get neglected. The first 2D Playstation software attracted complaints from new adopters because of visible sprite slowdown-althogh Sony attributes such mishaps to programming teething troubles. (For a glimpse of some experimental programming,check out Konami's second Parodius game Ultimate Parodius,which uses the Playstation's hi-res mode and suffers badly in the speedier section where the programmers haven't been able to double buffer the screen). Encouragingly though most of the developers Edge spoke to said they had plans to develop games using the machines 2D potential in some form,and they were impressed with the tests they had done. "There are some games in developement that genuinely exploit 2D in some interesting and innovative ways" claims Harrison. One area of doubt that still exists,though is the Playstation's chosen storage medium. While the system's CD drive is fast and loading times often insignificant the danger exists that developers will abuse the format,as seen all too often on the PC. Early Japanese games like 'Kileak the Blood' show the potential for pre-rendered MDEC video playback to enhance the gaming experience,but there are still too many companies out there who are more concerned with filling a CD than making a playable game. "Personally I don't like CD's" confesses Bullfrog's Peter Molyneux. "They make everyone approach game design in a similar way- it's often seen as a big pot to fill" The reality,of course,as Sony itself admits,is that "You don't have to fill a CD to make a compelling game". ----------------- Perhaps the most ingenious move on Sony's part was it's decision to use the PC as a development platform,enabling it to call on the skills of a huge number of developers.Licensees now recieve a pair of full length ISA cards that plug into a normal PC.These two cards contain the entire Playstation chipset,aswell as extra RAM and some logic to enable them to talk to the PC. "It's great having the system inside the PC" reckons Molyneux. "With most bulky console development systems it sometimes feels like your at NASA control" Such technology doesn't come cheap,though.Playstation developers need to cough up 12,000 UK pounds for the full system (which Sony is adamant it doesn't make any money on) although all subsequent software tools and hardware upgrades are free. But the decision to embrace the PC as a development tool has wider ramifications.Rather than promote a Playstation only development path, Sony has seen the advantage of capitalising on the crossover of product between the two platforms. The vast majority of non-Japanese developers are focussing on both formats (in Japan the IBM compatible PC has a small following) "It's very tempting to be completely committed to the Playstation" admits Molyneux,"but the PC is like a rock. When we first got our Playstation development system it took about 2 weeks to port our PC code over to it. However,it only took another 2 weeks to optimise that code which bought about a four-fold increase on the Playstation. Of course,the Playstation does have a few restrictions,and PC developers like Bullfrog are the ones most likely to cite them. Peter Molyneux again:"With Bullfrog's games our main game loop is often burdened with non-graphics calculations,because were often simulating real-time environments.In this case the main processor [a33MHz MIPlaystation R3000] isn't quite so bullish compared to a fast PC.And the lack of RAM can come as a shock" Phil Harrison plays down the Playstations lack of RAM " A lot of developers from the PC community initially think that 3.5 Mb's isn't enough,but its not actually a great problem. PC's dont use memory as efficiently as the Playstation,so I think its unfair to look at the PC market for comparison" However RAM aside,there are differences between the Playstation and the PC that will make the transfer of some titles difficult.Whilst the Playstation is not a true multi-tasking machine,it has some degree of multi-threading (the hardware does things by itself in the background). The PC is inherently a single-tasking machine,so taking a Playstation game that uses CD-streamed backgrounds,video decompression and sprites andconverting it to the PC might prove a tricky job. The use of the programming language C is instrumental in developing across both the PC and Playstation.C has allowed Sony to distribute libraries for Playstation programmers to speed up the development of traditionally time consuming code.Sony has adopted the language as a means of safeguarding the future compatibility of its machine should it decide to tweak or optimise the hardware -any game that has been extensively hard-coded could be rejected by Sony.By using library routines to handle all hardware acess,all Sony has to do when new hardware comes out is to recode those routines to ensure everything is compatible (Sony uses the excellent freeware compiler GNU C which,because the Playstation is based on the widely used MIPS processor, is familiar to hundeds of thousands of programmers around the world) Of course,many assembly nuts will throw up their arms in disgust,but coding solely in assembly on a machine like the Playstation leads to ludicrousdevelopment and debugging times. Harrison has the last word:"I'm not suggesting that our approach will shrink development times dramatically ,but I do expect that the technology side of the game will get fixed much earlier in the schedule,and the rest can be spent making great games. ----------------------- THE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM ----------------------- The PS may have been conceived almost exclusively in Sony's Tokyo R&D labs,but its software development system has its roots firmly embedded in British soil.Bristol company SN Systems is a six man company which was given the honourable task of designing a development system for Sony's game new games console.It's PC based development tools are now standard Sony issue and are used by PS developers all over the world. Co-owners Andy Beveridge and Martin Day have a rich experience in games design.They used to form an Amiga and ST coding team called The Assembly Line,and before that Andy worked at Realtime Games in Leeds (Ironically Realtime is now a Sega-owned company called Cross-Products which also makes development systems),whilst Martin was developing the eminent 16bit blaster Xenon 2 for cult coding firm The BitMap Brothers. The duo came together to form The Assmembly Line in 1988 but it wasn't until 1990 that SN Systems was formed.Since then the company has supplied development system software and hardware for various machines,including the ST,Amiga,Megadrive and SNES. Sony entered the scene in late 1993.At that time SN Systems was publishing its development software through Psygnosis under the PSY-Q name and also supplying the company with its internal system requirements.When Psygnosis was aquired by Sony the Liverpool based company was lucky enough to get early access to the first PS-X hardware shipped into the UK.And it wasn't very long before SN Systems took delivery of one of the first boxes."Just before Christmas we were given on of the MW.2 boxes by Psygnosis" recalls Andy. "They told us thet y were developing for this secret new console.We couldnt talk to anyone about it,but they needed our help". In Japan,Sony had been preparing to use its own Sony News workstations for PS-X development-these were expensive MIPS R4000-based machines that could be connected to the prototype PS-X box.But the thought of using expensive Japanese workstations was abhorrent to a PC-friendly developer like Psygnosis,so SN Systems were given the chance to create something around the PC. "We worked right through Christmas and New Year" remembers Andy, "and then,at the Winter CES in Las Vegas in early 1994,Psygnosis arranged an audience for us with the Japanese.Andy and Martin showed off both the GNU C Compiler and the source level debugger running on a PC through Sony's MW.2 box". Fortunately,Sony liked what it saw.A few weks later SN Sytems recieved notification that Sony in Japan had decided to abandon its plans for an exclusively workstation based development system and had opted for SN Systems' PC approach instead.An order for 350 systems immiediately followed,and the Bristol-based company supplied Sony with software that included an assembler,a linker (which allows fragments of code to be linked together) and a debugger. Another order for 300 systems followed shortly afterwards. In late spring 1994 Sony's development hardware progressed to the MW.3 target box,which contained final silicon - although,some boxes lacked sound hardware (or libraries to make use of it!) and there was till no CD drive in sight.But Sony's next move consolidated its commitment to the PC as a base platform:The PS hardware was condensed by SE Japan onto 2 cards that would fit inside a standard PC.The japanese flew Andy and Martin out to Tokyo in June to let them work on the new setup and write new software,so that the bulk of existing system worked with the new hardware.Apart from the extra RAM (eight megabytes of DRAM as opposed to two megabytes in the production Playstation)and some PC logic,the hardware that slotted into the PC was virtually the same as a production Playstation. The Playstation development was now almost comlete bar one vital component:the CD ROM drive.While the twin PC cards had already been shipped out to developers,the CD drive was still in development in Japan.In October 3 months later than planned,SN Systems finally recieved a production spec CD unit (it was bought over personally by an SCE manager because Namco was waiting on it to complete Ridge Racer)This enabled the company to design a CD emulator card which connected to a hard drive and output a steady stream of data equivalent to that from a CD drive.Now PS code could be written and tested under simulation without having to repeatedly cut expensive gold CD's (requiring a specialist Sony machine costing 4000 pounds). For testing a CD,a gold disc can be run on the Playstation-spec CD-ROM drive (now included in the full development kit). In theory,if that disc works in the development kit it will work in the prodution Playstation (it's possible to play Ridge Racer through the development system for exapmle)However the few differences between the development system and the production Playstation mean that final testing is done on a blue debugging playstation-this is the closest itgets to running on a production Playstation before the complete game is submitted to Sony for duplication.The blue machine (only supplied to NDA-signed developers and the Japanese games press ) reads both the encryped (black) and unencrypted CD's. Now that its tools are in use throughout the entire Playstation development community,SN Systems has had to become used to fielding a constant stream of queries from developers around the world.Andy claims that they manage to turn most problems around in a few hours,though "Having e-mail has been a lifeline in this business" he declares. With a Saturn development kit now complete ,the company is looking to capitalise on its skills and is chanelling its efforts into porting its tools to other platforms - including non-game machines SN Systems can be contacted on 0117 929 9733 ----------------------------------------------- PSY-Q-LOGICAL:PLAYSTATION AUTHORING MADE EASY ----------------------------------------------- The Psy-Q development system produced by SN Systems mimics the operation of a comercially available Playstation to allow efficient authoring of titles for the platform.The primary function of Psy-Q is to enable the programmers to switch easily between C (relatively easy to write and debug) and assembly language (faster and more efficient),and to merge disparate parts of the programinto a coherent whole. C source code written by the programmer is compiled as assembly code and then passed onto the Psy-Q assembler.The assembler also recieves assembly code written manually by the programmer to eliminate specific bottlenecks in the program and merges the two together.The result is then passed onto the Psy-Q linker,which links the embryonic program with standard Playstation libraries to produce a program executable by the Playstation.Once the executable file is available it can be run via the Psy-Q debugger.This allows the programmer to inspect the code as it runs and gives the option of run/stop/stepping it and inspecting the C or assembler at any point.Crashes can be analysed and more efficient code devised.
