We have heard that Sony developers like to collaborate and it is pretty important for a house of 2,500 devs to share. So that is exactly what they are doing. United Front Games, the developer of the upcoming title Mod Nation Racers, has been taken underneath the Sony Ninja Wings and are being taught the way of the Cell.
Naughty Dog co-President, Evan Wells, even admitted to sharing some of their tech during the PlayStation Blog Q&A. In this admission he spoke of a team that I only heard about in old wives tales, the ICE team. They are a specialty team writing optimized code for the PS3. I immediately think of Sony Cambridge when speaking of tech teams aka Ninja’s within Sony. Wells even went on to say that they even uploaded all the source code from Uncharted for internal use and plan to do the same with Uncharted 2. Another great example of this would be Insomniac Games Nocturnal Initiative.
