Ceci un article que j'avais mit sur mon blog à l'époque de JF....

Je me permet de le remettre sur Play Connection, car il est plus en phase avec l'univers Playstation de ce blog et fait partie d'une actualité non négligeable......


Qu'est ce que l'EDGE TOOL KIT??Me demanderez-vous.
C'est tout simple,C'est un kit créé par trois branches internes de SONY qui ont eu pour tâches principale de créé un outil de développement tirant parti des spécificités du CELL et du RSX.



Alors que tout le monde avait les yeux focalisés sur le home et little big planet.
Le GDC07 fût l'occasion pour SONY via ses trois branches internes : the WWS Europe Advanced Technology Group, WWS America ICE team, and WWS America Tools and Technology group de montrer un nouveau kit de développement qui est actuellement utilisé sur killzone2.

Ci-dessous une vidéo qui représente le futur the getaway et utilisant le EDGE TOOL KIT.
