η Nintendo Δεν τρέμει τα Natal και motion controller

Δεν τρέμει τα Natal και motion controller η Nintendo | byteme

Μπορεί Microsoft και Sony να ετοιμάζουν τις δικές τους απαντήσεις στην τεχνολογία κίνησης της Nintendo με τα Natal και motion controller αντίστοιχα, η τελευταία όμως ουδόλως ανησυχεί –ή τουλάχιστον έτσι δείχνει. Ο Reggie Fils-Aime, λαλίστατος όπως πάντα, τόνισε σε συνέντευξή του πως «η Nintendo επικροτεί οτιδήποτε διευρύνει την αγορά του gaming και προσελκύει νέους παίκτες» παραδεχόμενος ότι η ανάπτυξη αυτού του είδους της τεχνολογίας είναι κάτι το συναρπαστικό, ακόμα κι αν αυτό σημαίνει πως το μερίδιο της ιαπωνικής εταιρείας στην αγορά θα μειωθεί κατά τι –τα «51 εκατομμύρια χειριστήρια» που έχουν πουληθεί, όπως ανέφερε κι ο ίδιος πάντως, θα πρέπει να τον κάνουν να νιώσει καλύτερα![next]

Ο David Daniels και ένας ακόμα άνδρας αγνώστων λοιπών στοιχείων κατηγορούνται πως υπό την απειλή όπλου, ανάγκασαν τον Kyle Yarkosky να κλέψει την πιστωτική κάρτα του πατριού του και να τους συνοδέψει οδηγώντας το λευκό του βαν μέχρι το κατάστημα Wal-Mart στο Pebblebrooke Lakes στη Florida προκειμένου να τους αγοράσει ένα PS3! Για την ακρίβεια βέβαια, ο Daniels και ο φίλος του αρχικά ήθελαν να αγοράσουν ένα ακόμα όπλο από το κατάστημα, ωστόσο όταν διαπίστωσαν ότι το σχετικό department ήταν κλειστό, άλλαξαν γνώμη και προτίμησαν ένα PS3 –που στην τελική και The 40th Day, και Metal Gear Solid 4 και Battlefield: Bad Company 2[next]

Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy | byteme

Αρκετά παιχνίδια έχουν βρει τον δρόμο τους προς τη μεγάλη οθόνη, με τo Metal Gear Solid να είναι ένα από αυτά. Το Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy είναι μια ταινία που όμως διαφέρει κατά πολύ από τα συνηθισμένα: όντας δημιουργημένη από φαν της σειράς του Hideo Kojima, πρόκειται για ένα μη κερδοσκοπικό και φυσικά άνευ budget project.[next]

Pues si… Hideo Kojima sale al rescate y nos regala esta nota…

Inche Kojima... Siempre nos das de que hablar condenadote!

Inche Kojima... Siempre nos das de que hablar condenadote!

Según Kenichiro Imaizumi quien fuera el productor del titulo que me hizo comprar mi primer PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots desvelo que el llamado genio creador de esta chingonsisima saga estuvo experimentando con nuevos controles para dicho juego.

Comenta que dichos controles iban desde poder darte unas pequeñas cargas electricas [como los mentados "tooquees tooqueees" de las cantinas XD] hasta uno que sintiera tu fuerza de agarre.

En las propias palabras de Kenichiro:

“Intentamos realizar descargas eléctricas, instalar un pulsímetro… también intentamos construir un control que pudiese detectar la fuerza del agarre” del jugador al tenerlo en sus manos.

“Probamos muchas cosas, incluso un control transformable.”

Bien hubieras podido jugar a MGS 4 con un control completamente diseñado para llevar al máximo la experiencia de este Metal Gear; hubiera estado chido creo yo.

A más de un año de la salida de este titulo y todavía sigue dando de que hablar, como aquella ocasión donde Hideo dijo que no le gusto al 100% lo que había logrado con este MGS 4, que el quería algo más chingon, etc.

A mi se me hace que Kojima quiere salir hasta en ventaneando con tanta información desperdigada por ahí. Jajaja.

P.D Kojima… un saludo desde Overdrive y sobre todo… Échale ganas a Castlevania: Lord of Shadows que ya lo quiero jugaaaar. Gracias.

I don’t think you can find a single person who has not heard of the award-winning, record-breaking, and utterly amazing Metal Gear Solid series. It has recieved universal acclaim from critics, game editors, and gaming sites alike. The gameplay sucked you in, the sound effects made your mouth drop open, the characters and the story attatched you to the game, and when you finished the game, you wished you hadn’t. The game has always been a great source of income for the PS3, and even gave some gamers a reason to buy the PS3. Well, those days are over now. Konami recently announced a new Metal Gear Solid game at E3: Metal Gear Solid Rising. However, they announced something even more shocking than that. Konami shocked the crowd when the company announced that Metal Gear Solid Rising would be released for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 gaming consoles! There is no doubt that Sony will take a huge hit from this, as the series had always been one of the greatest things about the PlayStation. Sad, eh? Thought 360 users are probobly raving right about now.

metal_gear1

Metal Gear Solid 4 é provavelmente o jogo para PS3 que tem o maior número de pessoas à espera que seja implementado o sistema de Troféus.

Depois de mese, parece que a Konami não se esqueceu deste pedido dos jogadores.

Isto porque Sean Eyestone da equipe da Kojima Productions deixou claro, no recente podcast da produtora, que o tema dos troféus continua em cima da mesa.

“Vamos falar de um tema do qual temos recebido muitos comentários. Falamos dos Troféus. Quero dizer a toda as pessoas que o pedido de vocês estão sendo ouvidas e não vamos ignorá-los. Estamos ouvindo tudo o que pediram, mas ainda não podemos dizer nada sobre isso,” disse Eyestone.

Eyestone acrescentou ainda que, “Iremos anunciar algo sobre isso assim que tivermos alguma coisa. Apenas podemos pedir para que sejam pacientes, que nós daremos uma resposta.”

Vamos então aguardar que os tão esperados Troféus cheguem finalmente a Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

I don’t talk much about Sony’s PS3 because I’ve never actually played one. Seriously, I’ve never touched a PS3 controller.

There are two reasons for this.

  1. It was way too expensive at launch, and still kind of is.
  2. There weren’t any games I wanted to play that weren’t available on Xbox 360.

The rumor spreading around the Interwebs is that sometime in the next few months Sony will be introducing a new, thinner PS3, at a lower price.

This is exciting to me because up until now, they only had one game that I had any interest in playing (Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots).

Soon they will also be releasing the new God of War; the third installment in an exceptional series (I will be posting on that one when I feel like it).

No one has a firm grasp on what the slim PS3 will cost, but my recommendation is to hold off on buying one if you are thinking about acquiring the console/ Blu-ray.

Just as I gave shooter like Killzone 2 a chance despite it clearly not being my cup of tea I decided to gear some other blockbuster metal and gave in to trying out this generation’s melodramatic nest of cutscenes as the MGS4 came out in 30€ Platinum series which can be considered half a loss if game proves to be full of recycled clichés and anticlimaxes as generalisation has it. But while I’m yet to find that fully out I managed to catch its first pleasant surprise:

Some of Harry Gregson-Williams' finest.

That’s right. So long game progression..

What? WHAT?! E3 is only a few weeks away. Holy fishsticks!! So soon after the disappointment of last year? It doesn’t feel so long ago we were gearing up for E308. And oh boy!! The flames that baby went down it were almost horrific. Seriously, nothing really sticks to my mind beyond disappointment. So one would advise severe caution to anyone who is holding a remote piece of interest in E3 this year. Sure, they back at the Convention Centre and seems like the companies may reveal some big guns, but don’t hope too much as there is every chance this will just simply not touch upon former E3 conferences. Sad but true fact as well. The E3 many of us grew up with may be dead and buried. And in its place, this imitation demands our attention. So beyond this, what can we actually expect from the big 3 as we all cautiously brace ourselves for the worst?

Nintendo

What to expect – Though the Big N has really found itself on my bad side lately I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here because surely they have learned something after the horror of last years conference. So begrudging feelings aside, there is plenty that Nintendo could show if they actually deemed it necessary. Last we heard the Mario AND Zelda teams were working away on something. Now, we have seen Zelda: Spirit Tracks but really… where’s our next home console Zelda? Surely this year or next we should be getting close to a teaser… something… anything to keep fans going! Mario team could be making any number of things, New Super Mario Bros. 2? Mario Galaxy 2? New Paper Mario? Mario Sports title? Who knows really. I am hoping for NSMB2 because the first was brilliant. But I wouldn’t complain about Galaxy 2, just feels a bit soon. But the way I see it, the Wii needs some serious saving. So far HVS seem to be the beacon of hope, and just the other day announced Gladiator AD, but I am not yet interested in that.

I can only assume Matt may jump back on his “Kid Icarus is coming” train, but I find it hard to jump on just yet. Actually, I would love to hear from Retro Studio are up to, small chance that they show something off, but not impossible. One thing we have a high chance of seeing is possible some DSi stuff, most likely some DSi enhanced game announcements (bank on something with Pokemon in the title), its like IGN AU said, if any franchise sells… it is Pokemon. We may hear something about a new Wii channel or so, but don’t hold your breath.  Channels have gone quiet later, so one must assume that if Nintendo has something planned. But I’m expecting some extra selling points for the DSi to be revealed and maybe a speck or two of interesting software to make the Wii purchase-worthy. Heaven knows when they’ll do that. I’d like some sort of talk of Metroid to, but I won’t get my hopes up.

Sony

What to expect - These guys have some recovering to do, same as they do every year, but not because they lack quality. Because by God, I own a PS3 and it is currently my most played platform. Enough great games already to keep me going as well as future promise. But its lacklustre performance in sales ensures they still have a lot of fighting to do. For the most part they need to get some more great exclusives. Unchartered 2 should be a big hit at E3 I assume, maybe MAG as well. PSP successor is very likely, there has been so much buzz around the concept of a PSP2 that it is entirely possible they could let it out of the bag at E3. If there’s a stage to do that, it’ll be this one. Something that should get some major floor time would logically be God of War 3, the series thus far has been a high scoring one generally receiving favorable feedback… so why not feature the third installment? I am quite personally looking forward to it a lot! Kratos is itching for some more attention, and I see E3 as the place to see it. Of course, Sony could prove me wrong and ignore this upcoming title. Another point of interest is that Team ICO’s latest trailer for its latest game was released, so the gaming world is in a buzz hoping for more (they of course made Shadow of Colossus and ICO) so here’s hoping we see more of it!!

Something that everyone on the face of the planet who has an interest in the PS3 but doesn’t have one yet (this includes publishers as well) is after is a PRICE DROP. So will it happen? Well, Sony had a pretty good year in 2008, and why not follow up the next year with a price drop? I’m in no way saying its going to happen, because people saying so have been burned in the past by the usual, “It isn’t happening.” But really, if its coming then it must be coming soon. I will hope and pray that Square Enix will show off something for PS3 that is an RPG, because fora Japanese company they sure aren’t giving the PS3 much love. I’d like some Versus XIII footage and maybe the revelation of Kingdom Hearts 3? I can dream, damn it!! I don’t think we’ll see a PS3 redesign… I don’t think Sony will be feeling confident enough in their position in the console race to redesign their console.

Microsoft

What to expect – I don’t really follow Microsoft, nor do I really know what to expect from this year. I have noticed they have been pretty tightly sealed in terms of announcements so really they could have any number of things to say. Let’s face it, their biggest announcement last year was poaching Final Fantasy XIII’s exclusivity in the Western world so it would see release on both consoles (and as a result delay the Western release of FF-XIII on PS3 as well, good work!!). Speaking of poaching exclusives, it sounds like everyone is gearing up for the announcement of Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to XBox 360. Now, forgive me if I’ve missed something, but when exactly did this become fact? We know Kojima is teasing a new game, could be anything at this point but people seem focused on MGS4 to 360. Personally, I’ve finished the game upwards of ten times so I’m beyond caring at this point. The part that puzzles me is the stuff they’d have to edit out. Snake uses a PS3 control to control Metal Gear Mk. II, there is a PS3 in some sections, they reference Bluray and PS3… it just seems like a lot of trouble to go through. If anything, the next Metal Gear may be multiplat. But by that point, the franchise may be in risk of being ruined. I’ll rant more about this at a later date.

Apart from that, there are a few possibilities, pump some more use into the new XBox avatar system and the such (the failure of Scene-It burns, a competitor for Buzz might not hurt) and XBox Experience could get some enhancements. Something I personally think could come up is a new game by Rare, its hard to tell what though. Perfect Dark: Zero and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts ‘n’ Bolts have both failed. So will they start a new IP or try again with an old one? Impossible to tell really, but maybe they’ll try with Conker. He seems to be looked over a fair bit, but there is potential in bringing back this IP. The pop culture spoof he brings with him could go over well. I will put money on something Halo being shown. Halo = Microsoft, so they’ll show something. Definitely some Halo ODST but maybe something else? Halo 4? Halo Wars 2? Halo Party? I very much doubt Gears of War 3, but who knows what Epic could have up their sleeves.

——————————————————

So like the title suggests, these were just some not so coherent ramblings of what I think E3 could have, but I am not going to get my hopes up. Between now and then I may cover a few companies in individual blog posts. And if I have the time, I’d love to cover individual companies WHILE E3 is taking place. I’m no game journo though, so that could be too much of an undertaking.

I foresee a Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft E3 write-up, and finally a Third Party one which will discuss interesting things bought to the table by the likes of  Square-Enix, Konami, Capcom, Bethesda, Rockstar etc. Either way, E3 is getting closer with every day.

Let’s hope it does not disappoint.

Este nuevo modo, llamado Race Mission, en el cual dos equipos se enfrentaran entre si, pero no queda ahi el asunto, ya que tambien tienen el objetivo de defender objetivos (el equipo rojo defiende a los “GA-KO”, mientras que el equipo azul hace lo mismo pero con los “kerotan”).

Tambien este modo tendra algo de estrategia, que esta situada en los puntos de control, ya que cada vez que pasemos por uno de ellos (que estan dispersados por todo el mapa), nuestro equipo reaparecera ahí, pero para que el punto de control siga estando en el poder de un equipo, se tendra que pasar frecuentemente por el.

Aparte de este modo, aparecera una nueva caracteristica llamada Patriot, en donde se seleccionara a un numero muy reducido de jugadores cada semana, a estos se les otorgara un fusil 5.56 m exclusivo, el cual posee balas infinatas y que no secesita recargarse.

Race mission y Patriot apareceran el prosximo 12 y 30 de mayo respectivamente, ambas sera gratuitas , y segun Konami el proximo 12 de junio (primer aniversario de Metal Gear 4) tienen preparado nuevas sorpresas para este juego.

Busy April.]]> http://lemonmanx.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/quiet-blog-busy-april/ Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:23:09 +0000 lemonmanx http://lemonmanx.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/quiet-blog-busy-april/

Sorry for the lack of blogs this month, it turned out to be surprisingly busy April. Lots of work, a fair bit of homework, and just general social activities. But I’m here now, writing this blog. So that’s a good sign… right?

Next week WiiLoaded will celebrate its 3rd birthday!! And anyone who has been around for any of that time should join us in celebrations next week. I’m not quite sure what we have on besides a birthday card contest (which can be located here), but if anyone who reads here has any ideas for activities then let me know and I’ll pass it on. You can also reach me at lemonmanx@wiiloaded.com which is convenient.

So what is coming up? And what has just passed us by?

In April was the much hyped release of Advent Children Complete, I have watched both the English and Japanese dubs and must say I enjoyed them both a lot. Fantastic added scenes that really flesh out certain elements of the film’s plot that were touched upon only lightly. And then there are scenes they added to just make things more awesome, like Sephiroth really kicking Cloud’s spikey butt for a good 20 seconds or so. Not much but when you see what he does, it is a painful 20 seconds for poor Cloud.

And just the other day Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was confirmed to be coming to PSN and XBLA, which is awesome. I can’t wait to pick that bad boy up and play the crap out of it. Mostly because I’ve really stopped playing Street Fighter IV… not quite sure why though. Unfortunate but we persevere.

I also know that I have been lacking reviews. I have written half of my (late) MGS4 one and the first quarter of my (late) Fire Emblem DS one. Unfortunately my homework interrupted here, I couldn’t get into a suitable state of mind to write about something I enjoyed after forcing myself through several boring essays.

Also, Transformers 2 is getting closer! Let the hype machine begin rolling.

A skit on the streets of San Francisco. It’s pretty cool, up until someone makes it Uber Freaking Awesomely Cool - I’m talking HIDEO KOJIMA the legend himself!

This is less of a blog post, and more of a little tidbit of information. Over at the EU Playstation site you can register your PSN and get a portable ID which updates as you obtain trophies. Now, I’ve only just started playing around with it so anyone that finds a way to change the flag then I’m dying to find out. Otherwise, its just another fancy way of showing off your trophy tally.


This is what they look like, the little picture on the top left part of the ID will be your PSN Avatar, and you can change the theme on the far right… I only picked Resident Evil 5 because there was no MGS4 theme. BLASPHEMY!!

Or if you prefer, the good guys over at Playfire have also got a trophy card system set up. I have one of each really, but I think I like the official one just a little bit more.

But either way, go crazy PS3 owners!! Apparently the EU one will be getting updates in the future so that could be worth watching for.

Incrível! Cada vez que durmo no ponto e me demoro em atualizar o blog com as novas artes falsas verdadeiras publicitárias do NeoGAF a meninada vai lá e trabalha tanto que acumulo verdadeiras jóias por aqui.

Como o título não tem pudor algum em esonder, o tema de hoje é o fantabuloso Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, clássico imortal da lápide negra.

Exemplares fantásticos nesta leva e prepare seu coração para fortes emoções, a próxima tríade é: Super Mario Galaxy (!), Pong (!?) e No More Heroes (!!!!!!!!1!1!).
