IGN Peeks At Final PS3 Development Kits

Playstation 3

During the recent preview of Pseudo Interactive’s Full Auto 2: Battlelines for the Playstation 3, IGN was able to get a look at the final Playstation 3 development kits. According to their reports, the development kits were quite polished, which will be good news for consumers looking to pick up a console in a couple of months. First, IGN reported that the development hardware was both quieter and cooler than expected. Pseudo Interactive also seemed pleased with the development environment, and the wireless controllers worked well. All of the multiplayer sessions of Full Auto were handled with eight machines running over the PlayStation Network without lag, apparently, which also bodes well for online play in the future. The PS3 menuing system also seems to borrow a little from the Xbox 360 configuration; according to IGN, the PS3 menu was “easy to pull up in-game by quickly pressing the PlayStation button, which popped up an overlaid menu on top of the screen.” With roughly three months until Playstation 3 consoles hit stores in the US, it looks like things are actually dropping into place for launch.
