E3 After thoughts!

Well, I believe we are on a brink on seeing something new and fresh! After seeing both the Xbox 360 and PS3 new motion devices, I am super stoked to see more! The body motion sensor with the Xbox 360 (I assume it's done through a camera or something) was quite interesting. It reminds me of an enhanced Eye Toy. What really got me was what what Mr. Peter Molyneux. It struck me how much we've evolved from the days of "Pong". If you haven't seen it yet, here you go!



As for the PS3, I'm so excited for that new motion sensor. I feel that it hits my weakness that I had for the Wii when it was first announced. And seeing as they've been testing out the technology behind this video.

I can only imagine what they can do with it.

Here's what they showed at the PS3 Conference.


The whole idea of having the ability to interact with those objects with that kind of precision is amazing. The ever so dying area of rail gun shooters could be revived so easily with this controller alone. Think of the graphical power of the PS3 mixed with Wii motion sensored games. Everyone wants Wii-HD, well PS3 kind of beat it there!

Oh the last note I would like to talk about is Left 4 Dead 2. Really Valve? Really? A year after the first one is released, you create another one. I don't know how I feel yet but seeing as I might have to chip out another 40 dollars for only 5 campaigns. I might have to wait for the "Steam Deals". Don't get me wrong, it looks interesting and fun but I thought that since I bought L4D 1, that it would at least last 2 years. They better add the new infected to the original L4D campaigns! The new concept for the "Charger" seems very needed and I am wondering if they'll add any new infected that resembles the "Screamer" from the developer commentary. I also love the idea of the witch walking around in daylight!

Those are just some thoughts! I hope everyone is pumped for the upcoming games of 2009/2010!

Oh ya, Uncharted 2 looks outstanding. The part where the helicopter is shooting inside the building and the lights are moving with shadows of the items on the floor = incredible!

On my summer break!

Hey hey, I'm off on my summer break and it's been such a needed relaxing period. I went swimming / hot tubing yesterday and it felt so chill. I woke up today to check out some more information on the game "inFamous". Found some sweet dev. diary videos on Game Trailers. Videos like these remind me of when I first started out wanting to make games and why. Just the thrill to make "fun" games. The video also has some an awesome intro. Check it out.

Rag Doll Kung Fu Rocks!

I didn't think I was gonna love Rag Doll Kun Fu: Fists of Plastic but it's turning out to be great fun! Think of Super Smash with puppets that also uses the motion sensor intuitively. I am digging the motion sensor lightning ball charge up and super punch (w/e punch that propels you at the enemy). Check out the game play video I left below! Don't under estimate how fun this game is! And it's also free for this week only (I think?) so what are you waiting for?

Summer!

School ends in like a week! I've been busy finishing final projects and such! I did managed to find my way over to Game Trailers and see the Uncharted 2 gameplay. Oh wow! The animation of everything is so fluid and nice! It really brings a new level of detail to video games! Check it out!

Uncharted 2 gets even more badass!

After hearing about the 3 player coop levels and multiplayer addition to Uncharted 2, I absolutely was pumped to listen to the Multiplayer design interview! Check it out here!

Coke Ads

As I was watching House on Hulu, I saw this fantastic ad for Coke Cola. Now, as a Coke addict, I love seeing anything Coke related. I like how the commercial plays with the feeling of normalness of life with Coke at hand. And without Coke, the world ceases to remain functional. Great idea, and great drink!

Updated my side stuff!

I thought today would be a good day to update all the sidebar columns (most of them at least). I also got to take a chance to watch the latest episode in Game Trailer's Bonus Round. It was quite interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on "On Live". You know what, here. Just watch it here
