]]> http://topper10.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/top-10-games-for-pc-2008/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:00:34 +0000 topper10 http://topper10.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/top-10-games-for-pc-2008/

Making the list of top 10 games for pc 2008 was quite easy as I too had been making this list for myself so I could bring them and start playing. The reason was quite simple, I got a mean gaming CPU last summer and was excited to put it to test with the best of the games out there. So I thought why not sort out the list of top 10 games for pc: year 2008? I thought of looking up to Gamespot for the same reason as the source for this. Based on the rankings given by the Gamespot I’ve managed to bring this list. And I accept the list mainly because I’ve personally played more than 6 games in the list, and trust me; they are ALL AWESOME. So lets get started with the top 10 games for pc (2008).

10. Far Cry 2

Released on October 21, 2008, this game is a sequel to Far Cry 1. The first one had a lot of greenery and un countable mutants, but this time its a different story line and an entirely different arena to play in. The game is set in the deserts of Africa. You happen to have Malaria and are on a mission to capture a Notorious Drug dealer for which you’ll have to contact and earn reputation from many middle men. What sets Far Cry 2 apart from 1st part is its game play, there are hundreds of ways in which you can play a mission and tons of guns to play with. A cool feature is you can set the plants and grass on fire using a flame thrower and let the wind spread it and kill your target. You can even pull the bullets out of your arm and snap the bone. The assassination can be done during the nights to avoid attention and 24 hours day/night cycle is totally brilliant. Far Cry 2 scores really well in the case of graphics and game play and addiction. But it lets you down in the story line. What the heck! why do you need a story line to go bang the bad guy with a rocket launcher? Just get the gears and start pulling the trigger, the game is worth playing, and hence stands 10th among the top 10 games for pc in 2008.

9. Call of Duty: World at War

If you have spent your childhood playing arcade games like Contra, and if you have liked even 10% of earlier Call of Duty, I’m sure you’re gonna fall in love with this game. Gamespot gives COD world at war a staggering 8.5 ranking for all platforms. The game is just awesome. You begin as a soldier of Russian army and other armies one at a time unarmed and surrounded by enemies. You get saved by other soldiers and are given a weapon to enter into the battle. The game is fully mature and the guns and tanks are sure to sweep you off your feet. There are endless explosions and flash bombs which are made very very beautifully. The multiplayer in COD world at war still retains the gameplay from the COD modern warfare, so the ones who are used to the multiplayer gaming of COD modern warfare, then there would be lot more fun for them in COD world at war. COD world at war is the picturization of World war 2, and thus you’ll get weapons like Bayonet and Flamethrower with which you can burn down the Nazis . The game runs very smooth in any gaming rig and is sure to kill your precious time, so get addicted wisely. That was our 9th game among the top 10 pc games of 2008.

8. Left 4 Dead

Now for the people who wake up, brush, eat and sleep with Counter Strike, there is a game made with the same engine. Yeah! Left 4 Dead was made with the Counter Strike Engine and you can imagine that the game play has to be equivalent to it. What’s game all about? Zombies, zombies and loads of them. You’d be thrilled by the opening cinematic, cos that in itself can be turned into a great movie! You can play any character among the 4 given to you, and great thing is you get a chance to save your friends from zombies and don’t worry they’ll save you when you get too intimate with the zombies. The AI of zombies is very well written. Until you see them they’ll all be just standing in a corner humming the zombie song ( ) and as soon as you throw the flash light on them, all of them start rushing towards you! The game is hell of a fun to kill them all on a spree as the blood splashes across the floor and best part is you get to burn them with the Molotov’s. Yeah go play this game in the midnight and is no less than racing a car without a helmet!. Thats our 8th game in the TOP 10 PC GAMES OF 2008.

7. The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria

In the list of top ten pc games of 2008, we have a game for the people who always die to wear the ring and die again to keep it on their finger! yes! I’m talking about Lord of the Rings. As you might have guessed by now, LOTR online is an online multiplayer game which brings millions of people into a single virtual world. The great thing to talk about this game compared to other online games are the fact of how beautifully the worlds have been designed and decorated. You’d never get bored of exploring the lands of Moria because you can never get tired of beauty that has been put in the making of these beautiful maps. LOTR online has a great story line which will keep you gripped throughout the game and creating and using the legendary equipments in the game is absolute fun. The objectives in the missions that you take up keep varying and thus keeps the game compelling. You get to unhide thousands of treasures which then are necessary to level up in the game. LOTRO is fun to play as you never know when an Ogre might attack you from behind and you can get your hands dirty in battle. LOTRO Mines of Moria stands at the 7th place in the ten top games of 2008 for PC.

6. Crysis Warhead

Ok! Do I have to tell ANYTHING about this game? People went mad and haywire when they saw the trailer of Crysis! I mean I literally waited for this game to come out even though I knew very well I din’t haven had enough RAM to watch its HD trailer! With the advent of Crytek engine and some other cool physics integration, this game has shattered and found a new way of making games. I never imagined of cutting trees and killing eagles with my gun! And forget destroyable infrastructure and multi layered and ultra realistic explosions!. Crysis Warhead gets much better than Crysis with the escaped aliens on a flee all around the world and our dear Hero Nomad has to stop them all before they wipe the humanity out of the face of earth. The Nano suit gets even stronger in this game and you get to be nearly god like!. The considerable improvement has been in the AI of the aliens that keep floating above you. This time when you fight off the aliens, you are sure to get a chill. Crysis Warhead’s gameplay is similar to the earlier game but has added maps and play modes in the multiplayer mode. Crysis Warhead stands at a top 6th position among the top ten pc games of the year 2008.

5. Fallout 3

Now who doesn’t like the games of future? On the 5th position among the top 10 pc games of 2008, we have Fallout 3 from Bethesda Softworks. Set in the year of 2227, where world has seen many nuclear warfare and people are dwelling in the tunnels or vaults as they call it in the game, your task is to find your dad who has come out of vault into the open land. The most attracting part of the game is the scenery and the backdrop that is painted in the game. Washington DC’s post apocalyptic view is just mindblowingly brilliant. You’d see wastelands everywhere and you’d also encounter enemies spread across the land. The best part of the game is the fact that the player can choose as to how the game proceeds. Player can choose any destination to go and any mission to play. The game proceeds according to the choices made by the player. Bethesda has introduced VATS combat system which makes the first person experience even more realistic and intense. The freedom of choice means you can complete a mission in more than one ways. All in all Fallout 3 packs all the graphics and the gameplay that is required to glue you to the seats for next week. Go grab the 5th top among the top ten pc games of 2008.

4. Dead Space

Now if you were once horrified by playing Doom 3, then better don’t even think of playing this game. This game goes to be way way better than any first person or third person horror game. The story almost remains the same but its the game play and the graphics which makes all the difference. You are Isaac, an engineer who are supposed to repair the ship with which the earth has lost contact, and as soon as you get onto that ship you discover that something is utterly wrong. Infection has turned all the crew into monsters and they all want you to become one of them. So they start attacking you. The age old way of shooting the head to bring down the zombie might not work in this game, as you’d have to cut down the legs of the undead to bring it down. This kind of varied tactics for various creatures makes the game even more interesting. This makes it stand 4th among the top 10 pc games of 2008. Better thing about the game is the fact that there is no HUD elements to be seen, the Suit wore by Isaac acts as the HUD. The glowing spine indicates health and on need you can make him shoot out a 3d holograph which gives you even more details. All in all the game is really gripping and gruesome. It ain’t meant to be played by the weak hearted people.

3. World of Goo

For all those who were expecting a first person shooter or glass shattering racing game at the top 3rd position among the top ten pc games of 2008, you’d be disappointed. At this position we have a game whose installation is only 70mb big! World of Goo! Designed by only 2 people (mostly) This game surpasses all the limits that were enforced on a 2D game till date. Whats the game all about? Its only about connecting the dots and reaching a point. Now thats where all the fun lies, the structure that you make with goo balls wobbles and swings in an astonishingly realistic ways. The developers have used a combination of physics engine and open source graphics engine to bring you this visual treat. The game sounds are damn funny and you can actually enjoy that whenever you get hold of any goo ball. By the looks of the screenshots you might say yuck! But try solving one level of World of Goo and you’d know how beautifully the game is made. The game is also available for WII. If you have a mouse on your computer, then you should definitely give it a try!. That was our top 2nd pc game of 2008.

2. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

Sometimes you just can’t get rid of the bests, when someone asks you what would be the best portable music player, you don’t have to think to answer “I-Pod”. Well, once again Blizzard Entertainment pushes their creation upon us and we rank it as the top 2nd best pc game of 2008. Wrath of Lich King expansion for WoW as the name suggests is about the Lich King being left free and unleashing his wrath. We always know that every other World of Warcraft is much better than the previous one, but how does this one stands aside from it previous ones? Lets see. Now when its the case of MMORPG games, especially in this case, there is nothing for the new players. So if at all you are entering the game now, you might say it all looks the same. Yes it will. The difference would be noticed by the players who have at least reached level 55. So if you are not at that level, probably this expansion might not do much to your gameplay. Added benefits here are the beautiful atmospheres and environments and the dungeons that are made available for everyone. Newest gameplay added is the Death Knight Class. Playing in the Death Knight Class is just brilliant. If you are a big time fan of World of Warcraft, then WOLK is not to be missed at any cost. Go give a try for the 2nd in the top 10 pc games of 2008.

1. GTA 4

I assume the end of the world or the end of the good is very near! Out of every million other game out there we choose Grand Theft Auto 4 as the top 1 among the top 10 games for pc 2008. Tell this to the fans of GTA and we’d be punched in the eye. Everyone who has played GTA knows how good every other GTA game is, ever since the GTA1, there has just been a constant innovation in every other release of the game. And as good as GTA San Andreas was, GTA 4 scores even better. Now when this game was released people slept, ate, slept, ate and slept in the queue to grab a copy of it. The number of sales on the first day of release has made a Guinness record. For the good part of the game, you get to play as Niko Bellic who comes to the Liberty City to meet his cousin and to find a person whom he has been searching since a long time and gets himself trapped in an un ending series of crimes. The graphics is breath taking compared to other GTA releases and you have more control of the character this time. The physics is brilliant in case of characters and vehicles too. Day night cycles are very beautifully made and the gun battles take a different height and can compete well enough with any third person shooter game out there. Although it requires a lot of resources on PC, but it still needs to be given a try. I’d rather suggest to go get GTA and play it on PS 3 as the porting from PS3 to PC isn’t that bug free. But if you do have a gaming rig, then Man!!! If you don’t have this game on your PC, You could’ve given that money to charity!

Well! That’s the end of our list of TOP 10 PC GAMES OF 2008.

Pois é galera febril…
Com as placas que suportam DirectX 11 brotando pelos cantos, seria legal ter uma demonstração prática e em movimento do mesmo.
Então… Não é que a ATI e a Codemasters atenderam ao pedido?!
Finalmente liberaram um videozinho maroto demonstrando alguma das firulas gráficas que estarão disponíveis no novo DiRT 2.

Então, vamos ao que interessa nesse video, mas antes, quero adicionar um pequeno “porém”. DiRT 2 não utiliza todas as funções do DX11. A própria Codemasters confirmou que a maioria das funções disponiveis no DiRT2 são as mais faceis de serem notadas, mas parte das novas funções foram deixadas de lado. Creio eu que para “amadurecerem” um pouco mais e serem utilizadas futuramente no GRID 2 que está previsto para o ano que vem.

O foco deste video é a utilização do “Hardware Tessellator” que proporciona uma ampla lista de possibilidades de aplicação, como vocês podem ver nas fotos abaixo.

Simulação de física em tecidos (bandeiras) dando mais detalhes as bandeiras.

Simulação da platéia com mais detalhes.

Contagem de polígonos mais elevada proporcionando mais detalhamento.

Simulação de física de fluidos - detalhe para as ondas no canto direito da imagem.

Tessellator também é utilizado para simular a água.

Efeitos de luz e "post-processing" também recebem um "boost" através do tessellator.

Detalhes para os reflexos no carro e para o efeito de "Depth-of-field" mais ao fundo.

Pois é… Video curto, mas revelador na minha opinião.
A unica coisa que me deixa realmente triste é ver a lista de jogos que vão sair utilizando DX11 e o fato de eu ainda não ter uma HD5870 ainda.
Pra que não sabe quais jogos já estão quase prontos para serem lançados e vão utilizar DX11, aqui vai alguns:

Alien vs Predator – Primeiro trimestre 2010.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Primeiro trimestre 2010.
BattleForge – Sem previsão.
Crysis 2 – Sem previsão.
Dirt 2 -Dezembro 2009.
F1 2010 – Sem previsão… talvez porque a temporada de 2010 ainda não chegou?!
Race Driver: Grid 2 – Ultimo trimestre de 2010.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat – Já a venda.

Pois é galerinha dobalacobaco, agora o jeito é juntar dinheiras dinheiro para uma HD58xx e DiRT2 ou qualquer um desses jogos acima.
Deixo com vocês o “teaser” do DiRT2 e mais algumas imagens.

Abraços a todos e não esqueçam de comentar/assinar meu feed RSS.

Онзи ден, покрай поста за SAPPHIRE HD 5870 стана на въпрос, за това къде е списъкът с заглавията който действително поддържат DX11.
Ето какво успях да събера по темата.  Единствената игра която в момента поддържа DX11 e EA Phenomic-ския BattleForge. Това се случи посредством ъпдейт появил се на 23-ти септември (клик).

Разбира се “големият” списък е със заглавия който ще излязат в близкото бъдеще
Най-скорошно излизащото заглавие е Dirt 2… Там PC версията беше отложена за декември заради имплементацията на DX11 + говори се че ATI са бутнали 1 милион за да се случат нещата точно по този начин

- Alien vs. Predator – според оумайти интернет, новата игрица на Rebellion която се очаква през Q1 2010 също ще бъде DX11 заглавие.

- Crysis 2 – през август Crytek обявиха, че Cryengine 3 ще ползва DirectX 11 а от тук следа, че и Crysis 2 който ползва въпросният енджин, ще го поддържа
Все още няма дата за заглавието.

- Dungeons and Dragons Online; The Lord of the Rings Online; Gengis Khan – очевидно е много модерно да правиш MMORPG-та които поддържат DX11, защото това бяха тамън 3 заглавия Първите две са за Q1 2010, а Gengis Khan на Kylin (?) e TBA.

- F1 2010; Race Driver: Grid 2 – почнеш ли веднъж, спиране няма Преди няколко месеца Codemasters потвърдиха, че след Dirt 2 ще последва F1 2010 (TBA 2010) и Race Driver: Grid 2 (TBA) и всичките ще поддържат DX11

- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat – последното заглавие на което попаднах и което ще поддържа DirectX 11 е емблематичният S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Ама той така или иначе ще е толкова бъгав, че няма да можем да разберем кое е ефект, кое е бъг поне до 5-ия пач.

А за гейм енджините – освен Cryengine 3, има още два потвърдени гейм енджина – Vision Engine на Trinigy който се ползва от бая гейм студиа, и Frosbite 2 на EA DiCE. Оригиналният Frosbite е ползван в Battlefield 1943 и Battlefield: Bad Company.

Та каква е крайната бройка?
Една налична – BattleForge и още 9 бъдещи заглавия:

Alien vs. Predator
Crysis 2
Dirt 2
Dungeons and Dragons Online
F1 2010
Gengis Khan
The Lord of the Rings Online
Race Driver: Grid 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Παρουσίαση της νέας Nanosuit στα δύο teaser trailers του Crysis 2 | Game 2.0

H έκθεση GamesCom λαμβάνει χώρα στην Κολωνία της Γερμανίας και ως εκ τούτου, το μεγαλύτερο γερμανικό development studio δεν υπήρχε περίπτωση να είναι απόν.

Ο λόγος για την Crytek, η οποία άφησε για λίγο τα tech demos της CryEngine 3 και ασχολήθηκε με το επερχόμενο Crysis 2.[next]

Дами и господа, ето го и първият претендент в категорията най-безсмислен трейлър на GC ‘09!

Първо безсмисленият:

И после МЕГА безсмисления:

Бравоооу, браво!

Crysis 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed game that was quite the system hog on PC, now officially has a sequel (sorry, Crysis Warhead, you don’t count) called Crysis 2; and yes, it is officially coming to 360 and PS3. That’s about all that’s known yet.

Uncharted 2 (PS3)

God of War 3 (PS3)

Heavy Rain (PS3)

Assassin’s Creed 2 (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Lost Planet 2 (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Bioshock 2 (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Crysis 2 (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Bayonetta (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Splinter Cell Conviction (PS3, Xbox360, PC)

Así como lo leen, Crytek y EA anunciaron hoy el lanzamiento de la nueva entrega del popular FPS Crysis el cual era un titulo exclusivo de PC que impresiono por su nivel grafico. Crysis 2 será el primer título desarrollado en el nuevo engine CryENGINE 3.

“Este no es el único video juego de próxima generación en la franquicia de Crysis, es el primer título que estamos desarrollando para consolas y el primero que está siendo construido en el nuevo CryEngine 3. Estamos emocionados de tener el soporte de EA otra vez mientras trabajamos juntos para hacer del lanzamiento de Crysis un evento gigante”

E3’s finally here and I get to see the action ! Not on the spot though, but through GameSpot’s E3 Live Channel. It’s terribly exciting  and palpably so, even at a distance of seven thousand eight hundred nautical miles. Granted, this is my first insight into the events that happen during this time of the year at the LA Convention Center, but anyone who follows the gaming industry ( or plays games at the very least ) would and should be just as excited about this annual event. For the unborn, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is an annual event where game developers and other heavy weights in the entertainment arena  show-off their upcoming games and technologies. This year’s event, unlike the previous year’s, is open to the public. So pop your head in if you can. And while you are at it, take a good look at the exhibitions – There happen to be some really good items in this year’s show. Here are some of the items that were in the spotlight during the first day, it’s motif being “Motion”.

Sony unveiled the PSP GO’s official details ( which is an oxymoron considering it definitely wasn’t the best kept secret in this edition of E3 ). It just happens to be a smaller version of the original PSP with a few differences : No UMD drive ( it’s got 16GB of flash storage instead ) and a slightly bigger slide-up screen. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sport a touch screen like the rumors suggested. It’s expected to arrive in the North American market by October the 1st, with a price tag of $249. The PS3 got it’s own motion controller which would let the console employ the dynamics and freshness of the aspect of physical movement in video games, that the Wii had heavily banked ( and reaped ) on. The game line up for the PS3 and PSP was also improved upon with titles like Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves,  God of War 3 and Modnation Racers for the PS3.

Microsoft’s press conference had a lot of things going for it. It started off with the company reveling the New Xbox Live Experience, which brought in a new dashboard, Netflix streaming and Live avatars. Next came news of Final Fantasy XIII coming to the XboX, and the PS3 release subsequently being put off until both[versions] could be released simultaneously. The rumors about Metal Gear Solid 4 being ported to the XboX 360 was confirmed by Hideo Kojima. The new game, titled Metal Gear Rising, will not be featuring Solid Snake. Microsoft also unveiled a motion-sensing camera and revealed news on quite a few upcoming titles such as Left 4 Dead 2, Halo Reach, Forza 3, Alan Wake, etc. Nintendo mostly kicked off with news on some of the new titles in it’s console’s game lineup; some of which being  C.O.P.: The Recruit, New Super Mario Bros and Wii Fit Plus. Ubisoft’s President and CEO Yves Guillemot, talked about the company’s foray into the visual effects arena ( which was heralded by it’s purchase of Hybride, the French-Canadian digital arts studio behind the movies 300 and Watchmen ) and uPlay. James Cameron alos showed up and talked about his collaboration with Ubisoft and the game-adaptation of Avatar, which was being developed by the company.

E3

News about many exciting titles were revealed as well. Crysis 2 got a teaser-trailer, Assassin’s Creed 2 had some gameplay mechanics revealed. Ubisoft also revealed demo gameplay footage from the latest installment in the Splinter Cell series, Splinter Cell Conviction. Remedy showed off some of Alan Wake’s gorgeous lighting effects with their demo footage. A gameplay demo of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 showed an setting where the player actually gets to do some rock climbing. Left 4 Dead 2 was given a release date ( November the 17th ) and Bioware turned quite a few heads with their demos of Mass Effect 2, the sequl to the original game, and Dragon Age : Origins, an action RPG set in a fantasy world.

For a complete list of the events and news that happened/revealed during the first day, take a look at GameSpot’s E3 Day 1 Wrap-Up. Stay tune for Day 2.

Ce qu’il y a de bien dans les conférences d’éditeurs comparées à celles des constructeurs, c’est qu’on a pas 20mn de blabla sur les chiffres avant d’entrer dans le sujet qui nous intéresse, nous, les joueurs, à savoir le jeu vidéo. C’est pourquoi EA a ouvert le bal avec un simple trailer qui tâche, histoire de donner le ton, celui du fameux Dante’s Inferno.

Voila, ça ressemble sensiblement à du God Of War et aux autres beat’em all du même style. La vidéo a toute fois de quoi nous faire espérer de bonnes parties de bourrinage intensif, même s’il est dommage de ne pas avoir vu un minimum de phases de gameplay.

EA aime jouer au yoyo émotionnel. On redescend donc un peu après cette vidz avec des présentations des jeux dits casuals comme Sims 3, voire destinés aux filles pré-ados avec  Littlest Pet Online ou encore Charm Girls Club… On essaie de dessiner un rectangle avec trois lignes en attendant (petit défi, si vous êtes joueurs) jusqu’à l’arrivée de Need For Speed Shift qui se montre avec des images animées in game.

Je vous ai bien eu. C’était juste un trailer, pour le gameplay c’est maintenant. Chaud devant !

Il a l’air tout aussi beau qu’un Forza Motorsport 3, mais on a là la chance d’avoir le côté immersif. : cette vue cockpit est vraiment classe ! Vivement les retours des journalistes qui les auront peut-être essayés à l’E3.

Bioware vient ensuite sous les projecteurs avec les trailers de deux gros jeux très attendus : Dragon Age : Origins et Mass Effect 2.  Mais ne vous emballez pas trop vite, vous ne verrez que des cinématiques.

Après toute la gamme de jeux EA Sports (it’s in the game !) ont défilé plus ou moins rapidement comme Fifa, NBA live et NFL qui seront tous jouables en ligne (je dirai même que le NFL sera une belle simulation du style de Football Manager où tout sera paramétrable, même le logo sur le terrain de son stade). Un petit rappel sur Fight Night Round 4 qui m’a paru plus punchy que sur des vidéos précédentes. On a eu également droit au EA Sports Active, un “jeu” au même gabarit que le Wii Fit qui se vendra sûrement très bien, surtout avec le teaser rassemblant des témoignages de nanas bien en chair qui parlent des bien faits des exercices proposés, (on aurait dit une pub pour Weight Watchers…). Puis on a terminé avec Grand Slam Tennis joué un peu avec un invité de la balle jaune, j’ai nommé : Pete Sampras. Un jeu qui devra se mesurer à Virtua Tennis. Enfin j’ai plus l’impression qu’il se mesurera plutôt à Wii Tennis, mais ne soyons pas mauvaise langue avant d’avoir la mannette en main.

Juste après cette petite parenthèse arrive un jeu vidéo à surveiller : The Saboteur.

Alors oui, après les zombies ce sera la mode des nazis à trucider. Mais à voir le gameplay et la qualité graphique originale, un décor de Sin City avec des couleurs qui rappellent un peu Mirror’s edge, ce jeu qui n’avait pas fait parler de lui depuis un bon moment m’intrigue. Regardez plutôt.

Jack Black nous a fait l’honneur d’apparaître avec Tim Schafer dans une vidéo humoristique comme on en fait dans les MTV Movie Awards pour appuyer le trailer du jeu dont il est la doublure vocale du personnage principal. Mais point de vidéo comique, place au jeu !

Pas une nouvelle sur Crysis 2 (ouais rien, nada, quedalle !) mais l’annonce d’un MMO GTA like, avec des bandes rivales et de la flicaille. C’est All Point Bullet et on en reparlera peut-être davantage quand on en saura un peu plus.

EA a décidé de finir de la même façon qu’il est arrivé, avec une annonce accompagnée d’une vidéo fatalisante. Bioware et LucasArts main dans la main nous ont concocté une cinématique de toute bôôté pour sortir un MMO de la licence spatiale la plus célèbrement connue. Il s’agit de Star Wars : The Old Republic. Asseyez-vous confortablement, et savourez.

Uber classe ! Lors de la conférence, on a appris que non seulement il s’agirait d’un MMO, mais aussi qu’il serait entièrement parlé. Autrement dit tous les PNJ (Personnages Non Joueurs) que vous rencontrerez auront tous une voix et de jolies lèvres qui bougent avec qui vous pourrez dialoguer. Sachant qu’il va être traduit en plusieurs langues, ça va être un sacré boulot ! Je pense vraiment que ce sera le jeu qui videra les serveurs de Wow et de Lotro(ou pas).

Wait & see.

Conclusion : Une bonne conférence de pré-E3, avec quelques rires de temps à autre, de belles annonces et une vidéo qui sera largement au-dessus d’un bon nombre de trailers pendant l’E3. Dommage qu’une suite pour Mirror’s Edge n’ait pas été annoncé et qu’aucune news sur Crysis 2 n’aient été apportées.

Crytek, uzun süredir beklenen açıklamayı Los Angeles’ta yapılan E3 fuarında yaptı.

Almanya’da yaşayan Yerli kardeşler tarafından piyasaya sürülen ve büyük ilgi gören Crysis oyununun devamı hazırlanıyor. Cevat Yerli tarafından yapılan açıklamaya göre Cry Engine 3 kullanılarak geliştirilen oyunun konsol versiyonları da bulunacak. Oyunun devamı PlayStation 3 ve Xbox 360 için de hazırlanıyor.

İlki 2007 yılında piyasaya sürülen Crysis, tüm özelliklerini kullanabilmek için yüksek sistem kaynağına ihtiyaç duyması ile tanındı. Hatta bu yüzden birçok test yazılımı tarafından oyunun bu özelliği de kullanıldı. 2008 yılında ise oyunun Warhead isimle devam versiyonu piyasaya sürüldü.

Oyunun duyurusu ile birlikte aynı zamanda kısa bir videosu da yayınlandı. Crysis 2 Video
