This would be cool too, but hasn't Microsoft destroyed Rare by making them motion-camera developers? I just got Pinata 2....hopefully I can get around to it one day.
Second Sight with WM+ motion controls. You know you want it.
Not only would I like to see Capcom bring back Dino Crisis with Resident Evil 4 style gameplay, but I'd like to see also bring Resident Evil back with Dino Crisis 2 style gameplay!
Swallow THAT load motherfuckers.
I'm not swallowing any load from you, no matter how tempting the pitch.
Remember the rumour way back that this was being made? What was that Xbox Dino Crisis like? Wasn't it set aboard a space ship? LOL dinos in space, GOTY - sounds like an 80s cartoon,
Apparentely 3DS isn't the next big thing like DS was. I don't really remember DS selling well until Mario Kart and Advance wars came out which was like 8 months to a year later? I can't remember. It is difficult to show people in TV and print ads how the 3D effect works and it is pretty expensive. The 3D actually makes the graphics better. The only way I can explain it is with shaders. You take a flat surface and add a shader and it pops out in 3D, you can see the shadowing and textures more easily.
When you hit the 3D slider on 3DS it's like that only better as you can pop shader effects out in 3D. You can really notice it with the dogs in Nintendogs, the fur, when the 3D effect applied adds definition, density, spacial awareness. It almost feels like the hairs are being clarified for you.
It was towards the end of the summer after the DS was released that it finally started to pick up steam. The Kirby rolling game, Advance Wars, Mario Kart and something else all came out in about a two month period. That's when people really started to buy it. At the same time people were also starting to realize that the PSP wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
Holy shit. No PSN now until May 31st. WTF? I thought they were in the final stages of testing? This is crazy.
The XMB menu on the NGP looks very cool. I can't wait to get one.I wish we could have a documentary on how the casual online shooters only gamers are handling this. By now I expect them to have sold their ps3 and bought a 360. I wonder if some actually tried to play a single player game, maybe try a genre that isn't FPS. I expect some to simply have gone insane.
I assume they mean full PSN service which they said would be a month. Playing online should come back first but that is clearly delayed as well.
What I'd like to know is ... when do we get our free games?
___
Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
It better be immediately, we are angry free stuff makes us happy.
I'd just like to see what the free games are before I even start complaining about when we get them. I'd rather they be good games and we have to wait for them rather than be Noby Noby Boy and have it available the day the system is back up.
Grrr I hope they get PSN sign in back up before that, I want to connect my PSN to Steam ... and play some portal 2 coop. Archie you want to do some Gears 3 tonight with Steel and me and anyone else who wants to? Travo?
PSN should be down for 12 months and then they give you a free game each month.
I could live with that.
SoftKinetic Brings Motion Control Tech To China's iSec Console
Lenovo-backed Eedoo announced today that its upcoming China-exclusive iSec console will come packaged with DepthSense motion-sensing technology and a pack-in game, both provided by SoftKinetic.
Lenovo-backed Eedoo announced today that its upcoming, China-exclusive iSec console will come packaged with DepthSense motion-sensing technology and a pack-in game, both provided by motion gaming specialists SoftKinetic.
Eedoo said it was "very impressed by SoftKinetic’s 3D gesture-recognition technologies and found that it was a very good solution to support our iSec platform, in terms of cost and performance."
The DepthSense 3D camera system, which uses hardware provided by Namuga Ltd., detects players' bodies in three-dimensional space, much like Microsoft's multi-million selling Kinect.
While the Kinect uses structured light to detect player depth and position, however, SoftKinetic uses a slightly different optical principle known as time-of-flight.
When combined with patented "Current Assisted Photonic Demodulation" technology, SoftKinetic says its system "can track your fingers and precise hand-movements" and comes in "at competitive cost, with very high efficiency, high quality and limited noise, compared with other 3D camera technologies." Eedoo has yet to reveal a precise price or release date for the iSec, formerly known as "eBox."
"Eedoo's vision is perfectly aligned with our strategy to bring 3D gesture-based applications and content to the largest possible audience," SoftKinetic preisdent Andre Miodezky said in a statement.
In addition, SoftKinetic Studios will be developing DanceWall as a pack-in title for the iSec hardware. The game tasks players with maneuvering their body to fit through holes in approaching walls, much like the popular Japanese (and later international) game show Brain Wall.
"DanceWall is a perfect title to demonstrate our goal of providing the most exciting 3D gesture-recognition entertainment for families and friends across the whole of China,” said Eedoo CEO Jack Luo.
Eedoo says it sees a potential market of 120 million homes for the iSec, which is planned to launch exclusively in China in the second half of the year. The company said it will consider a release in other territories after selling one million systems in China.
PSN down time costing us 'hundreds of thousands
This is interesting. I've been very curious how the outage has affected developers with games on PSN. It's one thing for the players, but it's something else entirely to be a company that's counting on a revenue stream only to have it taken away. If the PSN store isn't available until the end of May it's going to sour a lot of relationships. And I'll say this, if I were Nintendo or MS right now (especially MS), I would go out of my way to kiss the ass of every 3rd party I could, and start making suggestions about exclusive deals.
