New Super Mario Bros. Wii, future titles will play themselves

In an interview with USA Today, the man who birthed Mario confirmed the existence of "demo play" for the next Mario game and "future games, too" -- essentially an option to allow the game to play itself when the player encounters an area too difficult for them to handle.

Απαντηση του TeamXbox στις δηλωσεις του 1UP περι νεου Xbox μαζι με το Natal το 2010.

...

Today, I can tell you that I have obtained the first details on the next Xbox (info that we'll reveal in the coming weeks) and that's why we can confirm that the rumor reported by 1UP is false. Microsoft is NOT launching a new, upgraded Xbox 360 disguised as a new Xbox in 2010 (although built-in Natal technology is a possibility for a new edition of the Xbox 360, similar to the Elite or Arcade flavors).

It's not our intention to tease you, but for now the only thing I'm going to say about everything I heard regarding the next Xbox is that it won't launch until a certain type of television becomes more widespread because...

...in addition to built-in Natal tech, a key feature of the next Xbox would be full HD stereoscopic 3D visuals similar to 3D movie theatres.

Ενα πολυ καλο αρθρακι για την εξελιξη των FIFA απο το Edge.

http://www.edge-online.com/magazine/fifa-10-championship-managers?page=0%2C0

Peter Moore, the charismatic executive whose arrival at EA Sports has coincided with FIFA’s revival, introduces the game’s producer, David Rutter, by applauding the team’s achievement last year. He boasts proudly of FIFA 09’s Metacritic rating of 87 – extraordinary for a sports game and ten points clear of its old rival PES – and says with a smile that this year he’s told them to get 90. He means it.

How did FIFA get here? How did it attain its position as football gaming’s critical and commercial leader? It’s a story of a development team reinventing itself, taking advantage of a hardware generation switch to rebuild its game, led by obsessive, hardworking and bullish producers like Rutter. But it’s also about a vision of football, how it should be played and can be played through technology, a vision protected and put into motion by Rutter’s quiet engineer counterpart, Gary Paterson.

...

Both Paterson and Rutter are very open about the fact that before they joined EA (in 2004 and 2007 respectively), they were Pro Evo players. “I hadn’t played FIFA since, I think, Road To World Cup 98,” admits Paterson. “What it boiled down to for me was that it wasn’t nearly as balanced or as fun or as realistic. I can remember picking up [FIFA] 2003 and playing one game and just… I wasn’t really blown away by it. You could see they were moving in the right direction, but they were still a couple of years behind.” Rutter was the same. “I pretty much played Pro Evo exclusively. The first time I played Pro Evo on the PlayStation was with [former Edge editor] João Diniz Sanches,” he explains. “João went: ‘You’ve got to play this game’. I was working at a company called Crush doing a football game and I was like, ‘We are so owned’.”

.....
.....

Wilson and the others soon realised they had to start from scratch. “What it was really about was using the platform transition to create a new benchmark. [We] went through what we thought next-gen football was going to be about. The original vision was: wouldn’t it be amazing if you could play 11-on-11 football by the 2010 World Cup? At the time that seemed a ludicrous notion – even internally people were saying, ‘Konami are going to go in a different direction and you’re gonna get hosed again’.”

Having established this ambitious goal, the team worked backwards from 2010 and decided what needed to be done year-on-year in order to achieve it. “The first thing we had to do, we actually had to make it feel like football,” says Wilson. “Anyone who played FIFA would say: ‘It was a good game, but it didn’t necessarily feel like football’. We had to rebuild the engine so that by the time you were playing as a single player [in an 11-on-11 match] the fundamentals would be the key to your experience.”

Ειναι τεραστειο αρθρο, οποιος ενδιαφερεται ας το τσεκαρει. Οι προσπαθειες παντως απεδωσαν, το Fifa εχει ανοδικη πορεια τα τελευταια χρονια κι ισως αυτο ειναι που κανει το Pro να δειχνει καθε φορα μια απ'τα ιδια.

iPhone 3G vs iPhone 3GS

Μόλις τώρα σκέφτηκα ότι το iPhone μου είναι σχεδόν 2 χρόνών .. Περιέργο το πόσο γρήγορα περνάει ο καιρός .. Anw, βρήκα εντυπωσιακό το πιο πάνω video και νομίζω ότι δείχνει πόσο ανώτερο είναι το 3GS από το 3G σε τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά .. Νομίζω ότι η Apple θα πρέπει να αρχίσει να σκέφτεται για κάποιο add-on στο iPhone που θα του δίνει περισσότερες ικανότητες σαν game console ..

Emena mou arese to prinny re, learn to play

[Sinclair]

Another Code R 4??
The Conduit 4??

Wow... Φαντάζομαι τι θα γίνεται στα nintedo fora ανά την υφήλιο.

Η πλάκα είναι πως μιας και μου άρεσε το πρώτο another code, θα δοκιμάσω σίγουρα κι αυτό. Για τo the Conduit πάλι εξαρχής ήμουν καχύποπτος.

[Ramparter]

Παντως μλκ για το Another Code R, απ'οτι εμαθα ο reviewer δε συμπαθει τα adventures. Τεσπα εδω βαζουν 6 στα Phoenix Wright... Το Conduit δε μου κανει εντυπωση, απ'το λιγο που το επαιξα δε με ενθουσιασε, θυμιζει παλια fps που καποτε τα γουσταρες αλλα πλεον ειναι πισω.

[Sinclair]

Η πλάκα είναι πως είχα κάνει edit άλλα για κάποιο λόγο δεν αποθηκεύτηκε το ακόλουθο.

Το Another Code για DS μου είχε αρέσει, οπότε λογικά σε καλή τιμή θα πάρω και το Another Code για Wii. Το Conduit εξαρχής μου ήταν αδιαφορο και ήμουν αρκετά σκεπτικός απέναντί του.

[Altair]

Το 8 στο Prototype μόνο σε μένα κάνει εντύπωση;Χαίρομαι βέβαια,γιατί ήθελα να βγει καλό και γενικά έχει πάρει καλές βαθμολογίες αλλά από το Edge περίμενα κάνα 5-6.
