[2009] Wii Sports Resort & Wii MotionPlus

chasmang — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:52:13 +0000

I can play through a good sixty-dollar game in a couple of weeks (or even a couple of days), never play it again and be content because it offered a satisfying experience. I can also play a game with good online multiplayer for months and feel that it was time and money well spent. Unfortunately, there are the occasional good games that I can say were disappointing because they didn’t offer an actual experience or last very long. Wii Sports Resort, one such game, is Nintendo trying to make good on a nearly three year-old promise with underwhelming results.

Don’t take that to mean Resort wasn’t a fun game. It offered a fun distraction for my friends and I for about a month, but in the end, it’s just a collection of mini-games made to demonstrate the Wii MotionPlus. The device was designed to finally show off what the Wii can really do, but instead, it highlights what the Wii hasn’t done and how it will most likely struggle to remedy that.

Nintendo spent the last three years manipulating us with exaggerated and misleading demonstrations of what the Wii is capable of, but when they finally have that capability in the hands of consumers, they fail to deliver. Resort is the only game requiring the use of MotionPlus and, while it does an adequate job of demonstrating various applicable motions, we haven’t seen any significant use of the device since, with only Red Steel 2 earning the slightest bit of interest as a future release.

To further sour the situation, MotionPlus is yet another peripheral, so even if quality games were developed around the device, there would always be the issue of getting the device to the consumer. Do you bundle it with future games, hope they’ve already gotten one, or require them to spend the twenty-five bucks on one individually? If the latter becomes the case, a fully-functional Wii remote with Nunchuk and MotionPlus would cost eighty-dollars.

It’s a shame a genuinely fun, but shallow, game like Wii Sports Resort had to get caught up in illustrating Nintendo’s failed promise, but it was inevitable from the moment the company decided a collection of mini-games was all it needed to convince people it was telling the truth.

Eurogamer Expo 2009 - Games (Hands On And Opinions)

Edward — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:03:48 +0000

This is the final part of my Eurogamer Roundup, and features hands on and opinions of all the games not covered in the first two parts.
I hope you enjoy reading it

Mario And Luigi 3: Bowser’s Inside Story
The first game I placed my grubby mitts on at Eurogamer, I’m a massive fan of the Mario & Luigi RPG series; I consider Superstar Saga one of my all time favourite games, and I massively enjoyed Partners In Time, and have been looking forward to Bowser’s Inside Story, so called because Mario and Luigi are inside Bowser for the majority of the game, for quite some time. So what did I learn? That even in a 10 minute session, I laughed a lot, and still found the battle system (which at that early on in the game was quite barebones due to the lack of moves you normally pick up throughout the games) fresh and entertaining. In other words, if you enjoyed any of the Mario RPGs, whether they be Paper or And Luigi, this is a must have, and I strongly recommend it to everyone, even just from a 10 minute session.

Bowser and Fawful, representin’

Borderlands
Borderlands was being criminally underplayed when I came around to playing it. However, the game was cleverly set up for 4 player multiplayer with those in the same row. Playing 4 player multiplayer was an incredibly fun experience, and is clearly the way Borderland is meant to be played: With other people. The graphic style is interesting, and the gameplay, from what I played is very fun. However, I question the fact that enemies a couple levels above you are so much harder to kill. Maybe it’s a way to stop sequence breaking or rushing through the game, but it seems a bit put-on. However, very fun game to play, and I enjoyed the short time I played it immensely.

Is… is he… is he touching himself?

Heavy Rain:
I saw this multiple times throughout the day, and despite the fact I didn’t get to have a hands on, I saw more than enough of this game to form opinions on it, I guess. Developed by Quantic Dreams, the makers of the fantastic Farenheit (Indigo Prophecy), Heavy Rain is their latest title, which aims to be one of the more ambitious titles ever made. Graphically, it looks fantastic, and of course, it’s branching storyline and the ability to have scenes end in a variety of different ways look like it’s going to possibly warrant multiple playthroughs, especially as main characters can die, and the plot will still continue. Anyway, of the two scenes the game was demonstrating, the one I saw the most of was a chapter in which a detective goes into a convenience store, asking the owner questions about his son’s killer: The Origami Killer, so called because apparently, he leaves origami by his victims. Unable to gleam any answers from the owner, the detective searches out some Asthma medication, but it’s at this point, a robber comes into the store. From here, there were multiple ways for the scene to play out, and of course, these would possibly have an impact on the rest of the game. For the scene being, there seemed to be a set outcome in that the shopkeeper will provide the detective with the relevant information regardless of what happens (unless you stay in the back and let the robber rob the joint). The options for what could be done involved sneaking up on the robber and knocking him out, talking him out of robbing the place and running away, interrogating, then beating him up, and being shot. The fact the game allowed for so many different methods of completing the scene, and the fact the game looks that fantastic, and offers so many choices means it’s certainly one to look out for. Don’t let this one get undersold like Farenheit did.

Everything’s gonna be alright if you buy Heavy Rain… Don’t make me get that clown image again…

Brutal Legend:
From the legendary Tim Schafer, this action/RTS hybrid set in the land of HEAVY METAL HELLS YEAH is a hilarious and fun experience, from what I played of it (Which is roughly after the Xbox Demo finishes, and the couple chapters after that). Jack Black does an amazing job of voicing the main character, the game’s environments look amazing, and it plays pretty well, too. The dialogues were also hilarious, and the gameplay does a good job of introducing new elements to the game, while also being funny and keeping you immersed in the game. What I played of it certainly made me want to play at lot more, but then, I haven’t played the real-time-strategy parts, so I don’t know how fun those would be, or how fun extended time in the Overworld would be.

We need to get to Bladehenge? Then away we go, with the power of METAL!

New Super Mario Bros Wii:
I got to play two twenty-minute sessions of this, which I was super happy about, because not only did that mean I got extended time with it, but got to try the game with two different groups of people. New Super Mario Bros Wii, obviously, is the new iteration of Super Mario Bros, and the first on home consoles for a long time. The addition this time is that this time, you can play with up to 3 friends (so 4 in total, yo). The levels are accomodated for that, but they look as if they could be challenging (though a bit barren occasionally) in single player. As well as this, the controls are just fine, and they work tremendously well. The only problem to note is that the gaming experience, and thus, your enjoyment, would probably vary depending on who you were playing with. Otherwise, this should be fantastic.

Typical that the only picture I got of the scores at the end of each level in NSMBW was the one where I didn’t get the highest score of the group…

Left 4 Dead 2:
Attendees at Eurogamer got the first chance to play the new Scavenge mode from Left 4 Dead 2. One team, the survivors, would have to find as many cans of gasoline as possible to keep a generator running the longest, while the infected would have to take down the survivors and stop this. Whichever side made the generator last longest wins. This simple idea soon turns into an amazingly addicting new addition to the Left 4 Dead 2 franchise, and you’ll soon be struggling not to compete for the best score, while trying to defend yourself from swarms of infected and human-controlled Special Infected. I really hope this doesn’t turn into a rarely used mode, because I enjoyed it immensely, and if it’s frequently used, it may be supported more in future updates. Plus, it adds even more to the super-replayability of the Left 4 Dead franchise.

I asked Chet Fasilzek of Valve if he’d play with me. I wasn’t allowed back into the 18+ section of the Expo again. These two incidents were not related.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time:
Yet another instalment from the excellent Ratchet and Clank series. My last experience with the series (and indeed, my only experience with it) was with the incredible Ratchet and Clank 3, and from playing this new installment, it’s clear Insomniac have built massively on the series, while keeping it familiar, tight, and enjoyable. The controls are as good as they were before, the graphics outstanding, and the gameplay still fun and feeling fresh. As well as this, Clank is seperated from Ratchet, and there’s a more open-world feel to where you can go and what you can do as Ratchet. Looks fun, plays well, and the overall package is probably just as amazing as the series has been before.

Go go Blank Wall with Logos on itttt!

Bayonetta:
This action game, from the creator of Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe, features a woman known as Bayonetta, as she shoots and kills things. Lots of things. Taking a lot of influences from the Devil May Cry series, my time with this game was actually extremely fun. The battles are over the top, yet extremely well done, balanced, and fun to mess about with. It’s hilariously over the top, but extremely fun to play. Oh, and if you go for females in videogames (which I don’t, but if you do, I’m not judging), I guess some people would find her attractive, seeing as it seems the makers have done everything they could to make her a new gaming sex symbol. She wears her hair. Literally. Her hair will grow or become shorter depending on how you play, and thus her costume will change (and shrink), and can even attack your enemies, meaning its entirely possible to have her hair only covering her boobs and genitals. There’s even a mode where you can play with just one hand. You do the math.

You might want these.

Red Steel 2:
The sequel to the disappointing train wreck of a launch title for the Nintendo Wii, Red Steel 2 aims to solve a lot of the problems of the predecessor, putting the game in a different location, and in fact, making it so different from the first that the only things they have in common are guns, swords, and the title. How well does this work? Brilliantly. Red Steel 1 was a miserable experience of a game, with an ending so bad it somehow managed to make the entire game even worse. Red Steel 2 starts off well, and doesn’t let up, letting you mix up guns and swords however you want (unlike the first, which only let you do it in pointless sections for no reason), though some enemies can be defeated better with swords (and there was little ammo for the gun), with a great graphical style, and a great control scheme. The game works and plays brilliantly, and the demo showcased the talents and improvements over the turd of the original Red Steel, and makes Red Steel 2 look like something worth playing and giving another shot.

Hey, YOU try getting a better picture when you’re chained to a bike, against your will, holding a wiimote&nunchuk and a camera at the same time.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2010:
My last experience with the Smackdown Wrestling games was in the form of Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain! A game which promptly ate up the first few months of my PS2-owning life, and was a game I kept coming back to over and over again. Say what you like about Wrestling as a show, but the games are much more fun to play. However, about 5 years or so has passed between Here Comes the Pain and Vs Raw 2010. At first, I was really thrown off by the right-stick-to-grapple control system, and all the other controls in place. As well as this, the demo didn’t exactly give me much choice of wrestlers, and so I came away feeling a tiny bit underwhelmed from the whole experience. I wouldn’t rule it out, but I felt Here Comes the Pain was outstanding, and one of the best “sport” games I’ve ever played, whereas Vs Raw 2010 almost feels like a step down, especially when the control system (which again, was amazing in HCTP) seems a bit pointless, and more open to mistakes and a lack of fluidity. I won’t pass it by, but I’ll wait until it’s quite cheap before I’d give it a shot (I’ve been hungering for a Wrestling game for a while).

The Beatles: Rock Band:
Ah, Beatles Rock Band, I couldn’t stay away from you. Your stage, your presence, the fact that you combine my love for the Beatles with the addicting qualities of Rock Band and my want for Rock Band. You and I could slowly melt away from the world until there is nothing but Beatles Rock Band and I….
Anyway, I got to play a couple songs, because the stage was consistently busy. Opting to do bass and vocals at the same time was a bad idea (and in fact, opting for vocals at all was a terrible idea), and I somehow managed to fail the bass part (On medium, no less) on both songs I did. However, my vocals points more than made up for that, apparently.
I played two songs from the latter stage of the band’s amazing career, Dig A Pony (we opted for random), and Octopus’s Garden (I wasn’t going to leave until I did). Both were immensely fun to play, and this is another game where you feel the quality and fun increase when you’re playing with others. This game is an absolute must-buy if you’re a fan of the Beatles and/or Rock Band. Just don’t let me on bass. It wasn’t calibrated properly, and one of the buttons jammed, honest!

I think I should mention that I love the Beatles a lot. Also, I tried to steal that. It wouldn’t fit in my bag. Dammit.

Eurogamer 2009 Roundup
Part 1: Gaming Glimpses
Part 2: Developer’s Talks

What´s going on, Nintendo - About MotionPlus

mfauli — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:36:56 +0000

Unlike most of enthusiast Wii-gamers I only got WiiSports Resorts a week ago. I´ve got to admit that I have no idea why I waited for so long. The game is great and might become my Game of the Year. Personal favorites are the sword fighting, the bow shooting and the peaceful flying in a plane. Other than definitely demanding those gameplay mechanics in the next Zelda-game, I really wonder: Where are other MotionPlus-games?

One popular MotionPlus-title got delayed, that is Red Steel 2. I´m not excited for that game, though, as from all the E³-demo walkthroughs it is clear that Ubisoft didn´t take into account that special controls like those using MotionPlus need to have level design that fits the new input mechanics. They didn´t look into that, unfortunately, which is why you have to fight several enemies in every new area of the game. Having to make rather big movements that´s bound to get tiring soon. And personally, I cannot see the fun in slashing the same enemies over and over again. And they even have you use special attacks that break away from the direct battle whenever you face a stronger, boss-like enemy. One enemy every now and then, that is really skillful and puts up a good fight instead of a bunch of cannon fodder would be what´s needed for a MotionPlus-game.

Then there´s Zangeki no Reginleiv, a slasher in the vein of Earth Defense Force by developer Sandlot. Besides not caring about hack’ n slays, the fact that this game also supports the classic controller doesn´t sound promising in terms of their MotionPlus-support.

And then there´s the MotionPlus-launch games, two tennis games and a golf-game. Well, let´s just say that I´m not so keen to spend my time on games that focus on a single sports. In other words: Boring.

Did i miss any announcements? I don´t think so, and even if so, it´s nothing great. That leaves us with Zelda Wii. Which is confirmed to make use of MotionPlus. Even if that stays true until we see the game at E³ 2010, that´s…no a whole lot of titles to show off the great tech that is MotionPlus. I REALLY think every gamer should go out and buy/play WiiSports Resorts. Often, when I´m reading on some boards, I see people writing as if they´ve never played WiiSports Resort, because then they´d understand how great Nintendo´s new hardware actually is. 1:1-controls are there, you just have to go out there and buy the game. And after playing the game a lot for a week, I never had to re-calibrate the controller, never got the controls messed up. What´s extra weird in terms of lack of announcements is that there´s already a big base of MotionPlus-attachements out there. Enough for any developer to make use of it. But it seems we´ll have to wait yet again for Nintendo to actually do something. And while we wait for Nintendo, third-parties will continue to put out mini-game collection one after another. Or send games to die by releasing them two days after christmas day…

Ubisoft - Hard Days 09

David Garrett — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:00:51 +0000

Chegámos por volta das 9h45m ao aeroporto de Madrid-Barajas. Depois de um tempo à procura do motorista, que a Ubisoft cordialmente enviou para nos levar aos escritórios, lá encontrámos o senhor: alto e de fato, qual segurança do Presidente da República. A viagem foi relativamente longa, talvez 20 minutos. Apanhámos a A-6, direcção La Coruña, porque atravessar Madrid àquela hora ia ser um caos, explicou-nos o senhor, mais tarde.

Chegados a Las Rozas, uma das maiores comunidades autónomas da ciudad madrileña e local que sedeia a Ubisoft Madrid, mais parecia que estávamos a entrar numa vizinhança ao estilo de Agrestic, o subúrbio californiano fictício de Weeds. Os escritórios da companhia situavam-se mais à frente, numa longa e estreita rua circular, cheia de carros estacionados e com uma enorme vedação de arbustos à esquerda, que em tudo contribuía para o aspecto de ‘quartel-general’. “E agora estão uns sujeitos à porta, com metralhadoras e cães para farejar a carrinha!”, pensei eu. Mas, por acaso, não estavam.

Red Steel 2

rmartinez42 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:35:28 +0000

I can’t believe this hasn’t come up in any of my posts yet. I love videogames. The only system I have right now is the Wii, but it’s not because of those stupid games like Wii Sports Resort or anything like that. I hate casual games. I bought it for the Legend of Zelda and Metriod games. But the gane I’m most pysched for is Red Steel 2. It looks way better than the first one. I’d give you the link to the official site but I’m writing this post from a school computer and can’t access that site. I’ll just give you the wikipedia page and that has a link to the official site.

"Red Steel 2" (IMPRESIONES) [HARD DAYS '09]

Scope131 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:49:44 +0000

Debo reconocer que el Red Steel original no era un mal juego, pero unas expectativas demasiado altas y un control mejorable y que no ofrecía todo lo que prometía, hicieron de éste interesante título un juego del montón. A continuación, tenéis mis impresiones sobre esta esperada secuela:

NOTA DEL AUTOR: pese a que hemos visto una parte bastante larga, debo aclarar que se trataba de una versión no final en la que muchos efectos no estaban implementados completamente.

Lo primero que nos encontramos al jugar a Red Steel 2 es que, a excepción del nombre y del concepto de shooter con pistolas y katanas, no tiene nada que ver con el original.

Para empezar, se ha cambiado la ambientación realista con claras influencias japonesas por una más futurista y de claras influencias del manga y el género cinematográfico de los westerns. Además, el estilo gráfico también se ha visto modificado, ya que esta nueva entrega pasa a hacer uso de una atractiva técnica cell-shading, que le da un aspecto de cómic y manga que queda genial con la ambientación del juego.

Otro aspecto muy mejorado es el control, que ahora responde e imita nuestros movimientos a la perfección gracias al Wii Motion Plus (periférico obligatorio para jugar, por lo que el juego se comercializará con y sin él). Además, ahora podremos usar la espada en cualquier momento, al contrario d elo que sucedía en el original y sus duelos. la espada se moverá en la misma dirección que el wiimote, a la vez que reconocerá la fuerza del movimiento. Por último, destacar que el uso de la katana no impide el uso de la pistola, ya que podremos encadenar distintos movimientos con disparos para rematar al enemigo (o viceversa).

Para terminar, comentar que el aspecto gráfico es muy sólido, ya que todos los elementos que vemos en pantalla están bien realizados y las animaciones de los personajes son muy fluidas (pese a que los enemigos son bastante clónicos). En general, los escenarios son amplios, pese a que sólo podemos seguir un camino, y muestran tanto interiores como exteriores. Los diseños de objetos, personajes y escenarios también merecen especial atención ya que, como he comentado anteriormente, todo tiene un curioso aspecto que mezcla el oeste con el manga, por lo que el resultado es como mínimo vistoso.

NOTA DEL AUTOR: pese a que hemos visto una parte bastante larga, debo aclarar que se trataba de una versión no final en la que muchos efectos no estaban implementados completamente.

Hard Days 09: Red Steel 2

GredXII — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:06:30 +0000

Seguimos con los artículos relacionados con los Hard Days 09, si antes os he hablado de una exclusiva de Microsoft ahora toca hacer lo propio con la franquicia en exclusiva de Nintendo Wii Red Steel.

He de reconocer que iba muy escéptico ante este titulo (y por lo visto no era el único) y tras probarlo con mis propias manos y comentar y tratar ciertas dudas sobre el juego con el personal de Ubisoft he de decir que mi opinión mejoró muchísimo y ahora veo Red Steel 2 con otros ojos.

“Red Steel 2 no es una secuela de Red Steel”

Esta es la impresión que me quedó tras jugar a la demo de Red Steel 2. Red Steel no era un mal juego pero la tecnología que Wii ofrecía cuando salió a la venta hizo que todas las expectativas que nos prometieron quedaran enterradas en el olvido. Red Steel era un juego decente y por culpa del Hype quedo como un juego malo ante la opinión publica cuando en el fondo el juego tenia su gracia y se dejaba jugar (exceptuando los “combates” con Katanas o cuando nuestro personaje se quedaba dando vueltas sin sentido sobre si mismo).

Pero hoy no estamos hablando de Red Steel sino de Red Steel 2, un juego completamente nuevo, que solo comparte con su anterior entrega el título y la temática (pistolas & Katanas).

Ambientación

Red Steel 2 está ambientado en una ciudad que mezcla El viejo Oeste con Tecnologías del futuro. Todo el juego se desarrollará en la misma ciudad pero visitaremos diferentes puntos de la ciudad con el objetivo de derrotar a Payne, el Señor de la Guerra que se ha instalado en la ciudad y su destino está vinculado al de nuestro Heroe (del que desconocemos prácticamente cualquier información, pero que a medida que avance el juego iremos descubriendo mas acerca de él).

Controles

El juego ha sido diseñado para funcionar exclusivamente con el Wii motion Plus y es razonable que solo se pueda jugar con el Wii Motion Plus ya que de él depende la fiabilidad de los controles.

Por lo que pude comprobar durante la versión de prueba de Red Steel 2, es sistema de juego ha evolucionado dando grandes pasos hacía lo que nos prometieron con Red Steel, el manejo de la pistola va mucho mas fluido y cuando optamos por sacar la Katana (ya que en Red Steel 2 no tenemos la obligación de usarla si o si como en Red Steel) un simple movimiento detectará hacía donde queremos dirigir nuestro ataque y según movamos el mando con mas fuerza o menos afectará a la fuerza del corte.

Incluso podemos combinar el uso de la Katana con el del revolver usando ambos al mismo tiempo o efectuar un disparo y luego rematar a nuestro enemigo con la Katana o viceversa.

Otros datos de interés

El juego estaba previsto que saliera para la campaña de Navidad de 2009 pero debido a que hay que lanzar el producto estando 100% seguros de que va a ser lo que se espera la fecha de lanzamiento de Red Steel 2 queda para Marzo de 2010 (si nada lo impide el día 10 en concreto).

El paso a Cell Shading ha dado a Red Steel 2 una estética especial que lo convertirá en un juego que recordarás una vez te hayas pasado ya que el apartado gráfico esta muy bien cuidado y podríamos llegar a imaginar que estamos viendo una serie de animación en vez de un juego.

El juego contará con varios niveles de dificultad adaptándolo así a todos los públicos y ofreciendo una experiencia de juego personalizada según las habilidades de cada jugador.

Antes he mencionado que el juego sería únicamente compatible con Wii Motion Plus ¿pero si uno ya posee cuatro Wii Motion Plus necesita de un quintó? o por contra ¿si alguien no tiene el Wii Motion Plus tendrá que comprarlo para poder jugar? Tranquilos, ya que hayáis respondido a cualquiera de las dos preguntas con un NO debo deciros que el juego saldrá a la venta Con y Sin Wii Motion Plus y según tus necesidades decides si comprarlo con el adaptador o comprar simplemente el juego.

Conclusión: Red Steel 2 gustará a todos los que nos quedamos decepcionados con el primer Red Steel y para los que no hayan jugado nunca a Red Steel creo que será la mejor forma para conocer esta franquicia exclusiva de Wii. Tras comprobar con mis propias manos que el sistema de control ahora ya ofrece lo que nos prometen, estoy deseando poder jugar al juego completo.

Para finalizar os dejo con un vídeo del TGS de Red Steel 2 donde nos presentan a Payne y nos muestran varias de las funciones ya mencionadas en este artículo. Y para mas información siempre podéis recurrir a la pagina web oficial del juego.

Ο λόγος για το Modern Warfare 2, το οποίο θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 10 Νοεμβρίου για 360, PS3 ΚΑΙ PC, όπως ξεκαθαρίζει η ίδια η Infinity Ward.[next]

Hard Days Ubisoft 2009

GredXII — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:14:24 +0000

Hoy he tenido el honor de asistir a los Hard Days 09 de Ubisoft junto a Scope131 de Soy un jugón. En la conferencia hemos podido ver vídeos y jugar a Assassin’s Creed II, Avatar, Splinter Cell Conviction, Red Steel 2 y Rayman Raving Rabbits Mi Casa.

El evento ha tenido lugar en el World Trade Center de Barcelona y ha durado mas de 3 horas que sinceramente se nos han pasado volando.

Entre hoy y mañana iré subiendo los artículos correspondientes a cada juego con mis impresiones.

Tras el salto encontraréis algunas de las fotos del evento para que podáis ver como era el ambiente

Más acerca de este juego para Wii, Red Steel 2 que llegará el próximo año a la consola de Nintendo en exclusiva, claro esta.

Ubisoft compañía encargada del desarrollo de esta secuela ha presentado un nuevo video titulado “¿Quieres jugar?”, Yo sí XD vaya que para mi [gamer empedernido desde space invaders o antes] es como un plus el poder jugar a los videojuegos de esta manera que antes obviamente no existía.

El gameplay se ve bastante bueno al igual que los gráficos, por si pensaban que Wii no podía tener gráficos chingones… se equivocaron.

El video:

Ehh que tal… ¿se ve bien no?, en lo personal me llama más la atención Dead Space Extraction… quien sabe a lo mejor algún día tendré un Wii…

20 quả bom tấn sẽ phát nổ đầu năm 2010 (P1)

baogame — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:10:43 +0000

(baogame.vn) – Như thường niên, mùa mua sắm cuối năm là dịp để các nhà phát hành tên tuổi tung ra con át chủ bài của mình. Giáng sinh năm nay có lẽ cũng không phải một ngoại lệ khi hầu hết những tựa game đỉnh đều chọn điểm rơi là mùa giáng sinh. Trong hoàn cảnh như vậy, “tránh voi chẳng xấu mặt nào”, nhiều nhà phát hành đã nhắm đến một thời điểm rộng rãi thoáng khí hơn, đó là đầu năm sau. Bài viết này xin giới thiệu đến người đọc 20 tựa game được mong chờ nhất khi nó xuất hiện vào đầu năm 2010.

1. BioShock 2
Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Nếu bạn quan tâm: phiên bản 2 được trao cho 2K Boston phát triển chính với mốc thời gian cụ thể là 10 năm sau khi BioShock kết thúc. Người chơi sẽ điều khiển Big Daddy với khẩu súng và mũi khoan đặc trưng. Nhiệm vụ của bạn là cố gắng bắt được các Little Sister và hãy cẩn thận khi chúng nói “Mr.B, Mr.B, Big Sister doesn’t want you playing with me…”

Ngày phát hành: dự kiến BioShock 2 sẽ được phát hành vào tháng 11/2009 nhưng đã bị hoãn lại vì nhiều lý do. Theo những nguồn tin không chính thức thì việc quản lý bốn nhóm phát triển đã gây cản trở không nhỏ đến tiến độ công việc. Có lẽ các fan đã bắt đầu hát vang điệp khúc “bao giờ cho đến tháng 2 .”

2. Splinter Cell: Conviction

Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360

Nếu bạn quan tâm: sau nhiều năm đi theo lối mòn cũ, Ubisoft muốn tạo ra một game hành động lén lút hoàn toàn khác biệt. Khái niệm lén lút không đồng nghĩa với màn đêm, hành động không có nghĩa là một chọi mười. Hành động lén lút không có nghĩa là dùng súng giảm thanh. Và Ubisoft Montreal đang làm tất cả những gì có thể để game sớm ra mắt.

Ngày phát hành: không có gì ngạc nhiên nếu Conviction lại bị trì hoãn một lần nữa. Những hình ảnh đầu tiên bị leak là vào năm 2006. Một năm sau đó, Ubisoft tung ra trailer của Conviction. Đến tháng 05/2008, tạp chí Xbox World 360 thông báo một tin động trời rằng dự án Splinter Cell: Conviction đã bị dừng lại và game trở lại giai đoạn vẽ phác thảo. Một số người tin rằng dự án Conviction đã bị đổ bể là do khâu thiết kế gameplay có phần quá giống Assassin’s Creed. Cuối cùng Conviction cũng xuất hiện tại E3 2009 và theo Ubisoft, trò chơi sẽ xuất hiện vào quý I năm 2010.

3. Red Steel 2
Hệ máy: Wii (exclusive)

Nếu bạn quan tâm: một trò chơi tận dụng triệt để sức mạnh của Wii MotionPlus. Sẽ không có mục chơi mạng vì Ubisoft Paris muốn có một phần chơi đơn ấn tượng và khai thác tốt phụ kiện mới của Nintendo. Gameplay là sự hòa trộn giữa dùng súng và dùng gươm còn đồ họa sẽ mang phong cách cel-shading thời thượng.

Ngày phát hành: dẫu không có mục chơi mạng và đã được CEO của Ubisoft xác nhận sự tồn tại từ tháng 07/2008 nhưng đến giờ Red Steel 2 vẫn chưa hạ cánh. Một trong những lý do chính là để tránh mặt các tựa game đỉnh sẽ ra mắt vào dịp cuối năm nay. Vậy nên người chơi sẽ lại chờ đến quý I năm 2010.

4. Heavy Rain
Hệ máy: PS3 (exclusive)

Nếu bạn quan tâm: đây sẽ là một bước tiến vĩ đại của ngành công nghiệp game. Heavy Rain đã tự định nghĩa ra một thể loại game mới, vô cùng đặc biệt, đó là “tương tác cảm xúc”. Để làm được điều này, nhà phát triển đã sử dụng công nghệ bắt chuyển động cho cơ thể, khuôn mặt, tạo ra các nếp nhăn, giọt nước mắt và nhiều công nghệ đặc biệt khác. Với 4 nhân vật chính trong cùng một câu chuyện và nhiều kết thúc độc đáo, chắc chắn Heavy Rain sẽ là một sản phẩm “thật nhất có thể.”

Ngày phát hành: dù được phát triển từ năm 2006, nhưng với một cốt truyện đồ sộ và được dán mác độc quyền cho PS3 nên Quantic Dream không thể lơ là khâu phát triển. Mặc dù đã giảm số lượng nhân vật từ 6 xuống còn 4 nhưng nhà phát triển vẫn cần thêm thời gian để chăm chút cho sản phẩm của mình. Dự kiến game sẽ xuất hiện vào đầu năm 2010 và sẽ không có bất cứ bản demo nào được tung ra.

5. Bayonetta
Hệ máy: PS3, Xbox 360

Nếu bạn quan tâm: một game hành động đỉnh cao nhưng bốc lửa với nhân vật nữ chính đầy quyến rũ. Được tạo tác bởi Hideki Kamiya, cha đẻ của Okami và Devil May Cry nên nghiễm nhiên Bayonetta thừa hưởng nhiều yếu tố đặc sắc từ người tiền nhiệm. Bên cạnh đó, nhà phát triển còn có những sáng tạo đặc biệt như nhân vật chính có thể tấn công bằng tóc, sử dụng 4 khẩu súng và có khả năng triệu hồi những công cụ giết người ghê rợn thời trung cổ.

Ngày phát hành: oan gia không đụng nhau nơi ngõ hẹp, có lẽ chính vì thế mà Bayonetta đã không chọn giáng sinh là thời điểm để đổ bộ. Thế nhưng với viễn cảnh Dante’s Inferno và God of War III sẽ cùng xuất hiện trong năm 2010 thì không ai có thể nói trước được điều gì.

6. Aliens vs. Predator
Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Nếu bạn quan tâm: ba phần chơi chiến dịch với ba phong cách khác nhau. Aliens là những chủng tộc mạnh mẽ thiên về những đòn tấn công vật lý. Predator sử dụng bóng tối làm vũ khí với các pha hành động lén lút. Còn loài người sẽ sử dụng các loại vũ khí tối tân để chống lại hai chủng tộc trên.

Ngày phát hành: tháng 02/2010.

7. Singularity
Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Nếu bạn quan tâm: vũ khí chính của trò chơi là cỗ máy có khả năng điều khiển thời gian (TMD – Time manipulation device). Sử dụng TMD, người chơi có thể đảo ngược thời gian trở về quá khứ hoặc tiến tới tương lai, đồng thời có thể ngưng đọng thời gian hay tạo ra xung lực cực mạnh tiêu diệt kẻ thù. Để đảm bảo người chơi sẽ không lợi dụng TMD, nhà phát triển Raven Software đã thiết kế thanh sự sống thay cho thanh máu thông thường. Tuy nhiên, điều mà nhiều người quan tâm nhất tới thời điểm này có lẽ là phần chơi mạng của game sẽ ra sao (?!)

Ngày phát hành: vào thời điểm này, chẳng có game bắn súng nào muốn đụng mặt Modern Warfare 2, Activision chắc chắn lại càng không. Vì vậy có lý do để Singularity phải lùi ngày phát hành sang quý I năm sau.

8. Dark Void
Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Nếu bạn quan tâm: hệ thống ẩn nấp đặc trưng với nhân vật có khả năng bay cao. Hứa hẹn những pha không chiến ác liệt, những màn rượt đuổi thú vị. Bên cạnh đó sẽ là những con trùm ấn tượng mang đúng phong cách Capcom.

Ngày phát hành: dự kiến trong tháng 09/2009 nhưng game đã phải lùi lại sang năm sau. Chỉ với những cái tên như Halo 3: ODST, Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2 cũng quá đủ để tạo thành một lý do xác đáng.

9. Gran Turismo 5
Hệ máy: PS3 (exclusive)

Nếu bạn quan tâm: số lượng xế hộp khổng lồ lên tới 950 chiếc với 70 đường đua đến từ 20 nước khác nhau. Hỗ trợ độ phân giải 1920×1080 pixel. Chế độ đua online cho phép 16 người cùng chơi. Gran Turismo 5 sẽ là phiên bản đầu tiên xuất hiện hệ thống va chạm vật lý, hệ thống thời tiết động chuyển đổi giữa ngày và đêm.

Ngày phát hành: được giới thiệu tại E3 2006 nhưng đến Tokyo Game Show 09, trò chơi mới chỉ hoàn thành 65%. Dù vậy, Sony vẫn thông báo rằng trò chơi sẽ được phát hành tại Nhật vào tháng 03/2010.

10. All Points Bulletin
Hệ máy: PC, Xbox 360

Nếu bạn quan tâm: trò chơi được thiết kế bởi chính cha đẻ của Grand Theft Auto và Crackdown. Theo những thông tin từ nhà phát triển thì đây sẽ là một game online đúng nghĩa, với những trận chiến diễn ra liên tục giữa hai phe đối lập nhau ở một thành phố rộng lớn.

Ngày phát hành: trò chơi được phát triển từ năm 2005, dự kiến sẽ phát hành vào năm 2008 và rồi lại được lên lịch cho năm 2009. Những thông tin mới nhất cho hay trò chơi sẽ xuất hiện vào năm 2010 và giờ nhiều người chắc chắn rằng “không có gì là chắc chắn cả”.

The Wii MotionPlus should be something that all developers utilise in their games due to it’s 1:1 motion tracking and credibility to ‘waggle’. However it seems to have just become another peripheral that only a few titles take advantage of. Thankfully the upcoming Red Steel 2 from Ubisoft doesn’t just throw in Wii MotionPlus support, but actually rids the Wii from that wrist-busting waggle. The developer’s diary above talks through some of the movements for swordplay including slashing and stabbing but reminds us that no, this isn’t a sword fighting sim but a game – and what a great looking game it’s turning out to be.

Tokyo Game Show 2009

elverbo — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:24:00 +0000

El domingo estuve visitando el Tokyo Game Show. Una feria de videojuegos que se viene celebrando anualmente. La celebraban en Kaihin-Makuhari. Un barrio a las afueras de Tokyo que alberga el mayor centro de exposiciones que jamás he visto. Las construcciones son de lo más curioso. Os dejo algunas fotos para que os hagáis una idea.

Last sunday I was visiting Tokyo Game Show. A game event that takes place annually. It was in Kaihin-Makuhari. A neighborhood in the outer limits of Tokyo that has the biggest exhibition center that I have never seen. Edifications are really interesting. Here you have some pictures so you can check.

¿El precio de la entrada? Sólo 1200 yenes.

Price of the ticket? Only 1200 yens.

¡Abridme paso que voy con retraso!

Make way! I´m late!

Quizás en otros tiempos hubiera estado muy emocionado al estar en este evento. Pero hoy en día no soy tan fanático de los videojuegos como lo solía ser. Así que el motivo principal de la visita era conocer un poco el ambiente y mostrároslo. Creo que la mejor forma es empezar por un video.

Maybe in the old times I would have been very excited about being in this event. But nowadays I´m not such a big fan of videogames as I used to be. So the main purpose of the visit was to catch the atmosphere and try to show it to you. I think the best way to start is with a video.

También os pongo este otro video en el que podéis ver un paseo desde la parte donde estaban las tiendas de souvenirs hasta uno de los stands de Dragon Quest. El juego que tiene enviciado a medio Japón y al amigo Ale.

I also have this video where you can watch a walk from the souvenir shops place to one of the Dragon Quest stands. Half Japan is playing that game and also our friend Ale.

A continuación os dejo con una selección de fotos.

Next you can see a photo selection.

El nuevo Splinter cell. Muy buena pinta.

Inside that room they were playing a clip of the new Biohazard or Resident Evil. All around the event you can find this guys trying to prevent people from filming certain things.

Oooh! It´s a trailer of the new upcoming Metal Gear Solid.

Esta chica se encargaba de cronometrar el tiempo que cada persona podía jugar y también de limpiar los mandos cuando terminaban de jugar.

This girl was in charge of timing how long can people play and also of cleaning controllers after they finished.

En el stand de Konami estaba este tipo que es el que le pone la voz al protagonista del juego Metal Gear Solid. Miles de japoneses coreaban “sugoiiiii” (¡que guay!) cada vez que hablaba.

At Konami’s stand was this guy. He is the voice for the main character of the Metal Gear Solid game. Thousands of japaneses said at once “sugoiiii” (coool!) every time he spoke.

El espacio destinado a la feria era enorme.

The exhibition hall was huge.

A la salida había una auténtica avalancha de gente yendo a la estación.

At closing time there were lots of people coming back to the station.

Es casi imposible salir de la feria con las manos vacías. Mucha gente llevaba enormes bolsas. Yo sólo algunos folletos de recuerdo. La gente de Konami fueron los más listos porque repartían una especie de carpeta y la gente guardaba todo lo demás dentro.

It is almost impossible to come home with empty hands. A lot of people were carrying big bags. I only took some brochures. Konami’s guys were clever because they give you a kind of folder and people used it to store the rest of brochures.

Bueno pues eso es todo desde el Tokyo Game Show… ¡Oh espera! Se me ha olvidado poner fotos de las chicas y demás fauna de la feria. ¡Qué cabeza!… Bueno, algo había que dejar para mañana.

That´s it from Tokyo Game Show… Oh wait! I forgot to post some pictures of the girls and all the guys in costumes. ¡Oh my…! Well, I had to save something for tomorrow.

El rumor de la existencia de un ps3 Slim de 250 gb ha sido confirmada por Sony, esta versión estará disponible el 1ero de octubre en el reino unido a un precio de 462 dólares, ya muchos medios esparcían esta noticia como un echo pero quizás lo que mas llama la atención de esto y que no se sabia nada, es que podremos escoger de entre 3 diferentes paquetes, en el primero los jugadores podrán escoger 2 juegos de los llamados greates hits (ya saben los que tienen cajita roja) o infamus, el segundo paquete que saldrá para el 16 de octubre contendrá el esperado juego de Uncharted 2 y el tercer paquete incluirá el juego X men: Wolverine Origen, la película de Batman begin en blu ray y el control remoto oficial para reproducir películas, este ultimo paquete estará disponible a partir del 19 de octubre, lamentablemente no se ha hablado nada de si estos paquetes llegaran a México, o de cuanto costarían.

Nuevo juego de super Mario para el 15 de Noviembre

El nuevo juego cooperativo de Mario (que aunque digan que no, si se parece muchiiiisimo a little big planet), estará disponible en tiendas a partir del 15 de noviembre, asi lo señalo Nintendo en una conferencia exclusiva esta mañana, en este juego hasta 4 jugadores estarán en partida cooperativa luchando por quien gana mas puntos al final de cada escena (daa little big planet).

Nuevo trailer de No more heroes 2 desperate struggle

Ubisoft mostró un nuevo trailer de la secuela de uno de los mejores juegos que el Wii haya tenido en su librería, esta ves podremos ver un poco del gameplay de Shinobu, personaje que en el primer juego teníamos que derrotar para continuar con nuestra a ventura, y que ahora esta de vuelta lista para partir algunos traseros (o cortar cabezas lo que les guste mas).

Gran turismo 5 para marzo de 2010

Y para los amantes de las carreras automovilísticas, Gran turismo esta de regreso, saldrá en Japón para el mes de de marzo del siguiente año, lamentablemente una ves mas no se ha hablado de fechas para nuestro continente, sin embargo los ansiosos de este simulador automovilístico podrán saciar su hambre de velocidad el 1ero de octubre(ya en un par de días mas), fecha en que el retrasadísimo gran turismo para psp llegara a las tiendas (tanto en su forma física como en su distribución digital), este juego tendrá compatibilidad con la versión del ps3 teniendo la posibilidad de compartir datos de los autos en estas versiones.

Capcom anuncia nuevos títulos

Uno de los nuevos títulos que Capcom anuncio este TGS es Sengoku Basara 3 samurai heroes, muchos le hallaran el parecido con samurai warriors de Koei, sien embargo esta titulo ya tiene parte de su historia, con una animación en su haber y dos juegos previos, esta serie llego a America con el nombre de devil knight, sin embargo no fue muy conocida, por el momento se desconoce si es juego llegara a nuestro continente

El segundo título que lanzara capcom es Ghost trick para el ds, en este juego controlaremos a Sissel un fantasma quien tiene como misión salvar vidas de cuanto humano se encuentre, para ello contamos con la habilidad de mover objetos e incluso regresar en el tiempo, en nuestra a ventura encontraremos acertijos que harán trabajar nuestras habilidades deductivas.

Y para el psp capcom lanzara The last Ranker, un rpg que hasta el momento ha causado sorpresa para la consola portatil de sony.

Nuevo trailer Ninety nine nights II

Konami nos trae mas información de la secuela de título Ninety nine nights para el 360, juego con un increíble potencial, pero que en mi opinión personal, no cumplió como debería, no digo que no fue un buen juego, simplemente que se sintio incompleto, esperemos que esta secuela triunfe en donde su predecesor no lo hizo. De momento no se encuentra disponible este trailer oficialmente, pero la pagina game trailers se las ingenio para grabar el intro, si no quieren esperar a ver el oficial pueden ver a continuación este trailer tomado por una cámara portátil.

Darius burst

Taito nos trae para el psp, una nueva entrega del clásico de todos los tiempos Darius, juego de naves espaciales que tantos fans consiguió alrededor del mundo.

.Hack// Link

Juego que reunirá a varios de los personajes principales de las antiguas sagas, veremos luchando espalda con espalda a los personajes favoritos de la serie en este juego para el psp que se sitúa después de lo acontecido con hack //GU.

Samurai warrios 3

Samurai warrios regresa, pero esta ves al Wii de nintendo conoce a los nuevos personajes.

Dynasty warrios strike force

Y para que los dueños de las otras consolas además del wii no se pongan celosas, Koi traerá para el 2010 dynasty warrios strike force, kamehame ha, a no disculpen es que los personajes me recuerdan a otra serie.

Red steel 2

Este trailer es dirigido por uno de los desarrolladores del juego y nos muestra el gameplay y uno de los jefes del juego red steel 2, secuela de otro de los juegos que prometió muchísimo la principio y quedo a deber, esperemos que con ayuda del motion plus esta secuela ofrezca lo que prometió el primero.

Final fantas XIV

Y que es un tgs09 sin un promo de algún final fantasy, bueno esta ves tenemos un nuevo trailer del esperadísimo juego por el staff de la chaira final fantasy XIV.

A por cierto se ha confirmado una edición de colección de la consola ps3 de final fantasy XIII, aquellos que tengan el dinero y decidan encargarla, siéntanse seguros de que los juegos serán compatibles con America, ya que compartimos región en cuanto a blu ray con Japón, esta es la imagen de esta edición de colección que tendrá un costo de 41600 yenes, algo así como 4300 pesos.

normalmente odio el rosa sin embargo el dibujo esta muy perro

La lista continua y continua, pero si siguiera me darían las 3 de la mañana y no acabaría, trate de poner algunos de los mas importantes sin embargo falta por mencionar otros que tratare de incluir en post posteriores, por mi parte es todo y como ven este TGS no ha decepcionado para nada. Bueno suerte y paz.

Y recuerden: Hay que trabajar 8 horas y dormir 8 horas, pero no las mismas.

Red Steel 2 -Payne Trailer-

dominiumundi — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 01:00:45 +0000

Red Steel 2 por fin tiene NUEVO trailer que presenta a otra personaje, que opinas, mejorara el titulo previo.

Red Steel 2

dominiumundi — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:59:52 +0000

Si algo aplaudo de Ubisoft es que tiene mucha iniciativa, y lo demuestra mejorando sus titulos y tratando de innovar a cada paso. Y aparentemente esto sucedera con RED STEEL 2. Si el juego aprovecha las bondades reales de los controles del Wii, lograra un ascenso. Sino, se quedara en los anaqueles del olvido junto al titulo previo. Les dejo un poco del arte.

De uncharted, red steel 2 y ps3 slim

ailus — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:48:23 +0000

La entrevista la pueden leer aqui.

Bueno por el momento me retiro cuidense. Paz.

Y recuerden: Cuando un médico se equivoca lo mejor es echarle tierra al asunto.

Truly beautiful Wii games

Nathaniel Payne — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:06:50 +0000

It’s time we’ve come to terms with the ugly truth: aside from a rare handful of exceptions, Wii games aren’t all that pretty. Especially when compared to their current generation counterparts on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Most Wii owners have accepted this by now. After all, a dedicated Nintendo fan is oftentimes looking more for gameplay experience than they are graphic fidelity.

With a system that has an enormous install base ripe for the picking, yet a weaker graphic processor than the competition, developers have had to find ways to make games look appealing on the Wii. And I think their efforts are finally starting to pay off. A lot of games on the cusp of the horizon (and at least one that has already released) look absolutely gorgeous. The secret has apparently been to avoid altogether attempting to match the graphical prowess of the top-tier machines. Instead, developers have been focusing on creating wholly unique and engaging artistic styles that emphasize beauty through the artwork and design, rather than the simple math of pixel pushing. And it works.

Following are a few of my favorite examples of some of the stunning and remarkably beautiful games that you will be able to find available on the Wii very soon. Check out an ungodly number of images and videos below the fold.

Muramasa: the Demon Blade
Just released this week, Muramasa is a game I’ve talked about previously. That doesn’t mean we can’t discuss it again. Created by Vanillaware, the team responsible for Odin Sphere on the PS2, Muramasa is simply gorgeous. The art direction is inspired by traditional Japanese art, and to just say “inspired” isn’t doing the visuals justice. The game looks and feels like a playable anime cartoon with an absolutely engrossing art style and character design. This is one I really hope sells sufficiently well because I desperately want Vanillaware making more stylish Wii games in the future.

Lost in Shadow
A relatively new Wii game that was just announced at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany just last month. Developed and published by Hudson Soft, the game puts you into the extraordinarily obscure shoes of a young boy’s shadow. You enter a tower and can only progress by traversing along the available shadows. Love the premise, and adore the imagery.

Lostwinds: Winter of the Melodias
A sequel to my absolute favorite WiiWare game? We knew it was coming, and I, for one, am extremely glad it is. They are sticking with the same beautiful, painted scenery style, which, if you’ve seen it in motion, you can’t help but fall in love with. Lostwinds is one of the most inventive uses of the Wii remote controls, and the most gorgeous WiiWare game I’ve ever laid eyes on. Give me a release date, Frontier – I’ve got my Wii Points waiting in the wings purely for this title.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: the Crystal Bearers
I’m hoping that this game is still coming to the US sometime this holiday season, though with a release date of November 26th in Japan, that is looking less and less likely every day. But I can rest assured that this game looks phenomenal. Square Enix has shed the somewhat cartoon-ish look of the previous Crystal Chronicles installment on the GameCube and instead opted for a more realistic look. Though “realistic” is not necessarily the correct word. The visuals are lovingly draped in a Japanese style hyper-real anime art design, and it definitely works for this title. It’s stunning and breathtaking, and (as with most artistic games) looks much better in motion than it does in screenshots.

A Boy and His Blob
This is definitely more than just a simple remake of a classic NES game. A Boy and His Blob is more like a complete re-imagining of the entire experience. The art direction Wayforward put together for this game is amazing in its sheer ability to draw you into what’s happening on screen. It’s lovable and adorable, active, and very much like a storybook that has been brought to life before your eyes. Definitely looking forward to this game, expected to arrive next month.

Red Steel 2
This sequel from Ubisoft, set to shift the franchise from a present-day gangster tale to a western fantasy world, has been given a dramatic overhaul in the graphics department. The graphics haven’t been improved, per se, but rather significantly altered to give it more of a feel of a playable graphic novel. The shift in style and tone is welcome. Red Steel was bland at best; a passable but still deeply-flawed launch title at worst. The new concept, which puts you in the steel-toed boots of a sword-wielding gunslinger in an alternate-dimension Asian-inspired western world, has a beautiful style that matches its new-found charm and appeal. Unfortunately, the game has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2010. Even so, it hasn’t moved from my wish list.

Tales of Graces
Is there a reason you will find a couple of high-profile Japanese RPGs on this list? I find this likely evidence that the Wii will eventually become the de-facto home of jRPGs in the near future. For now, enjoy the beauty of Tales of Graces, Namco Bandai’s next flagship Tales game, appearing exclusively on the Wii. A far cry from the previous Tales game on the Wii: the less-than-stellar Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Graces has an engaging art style that is reminiscent of the recent Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360. It has fluidity and gorgeous, rich color. The painted backgrounds add a deep level of immersion to the aesthetics. It won’t hit until early to mid 2010, but it will be well worth the wait.

These aren’t the only beautiful games appearing on the Wii, and they assuredly won’t be the last. I’ll probably do another gorgeous art round-up at some point next year taking a look at what will come in 2010 and 2011, and just how much the art direction of current Wii games has evolved in just a short span of time.

Γύρω στο Πάσχα η κυκλοφορία του No More Heroes 2 | Game 2.0

H Ubisoft ανακοίνωσε ότι το πολυαναμενόμενο action No More Heroes 2, θα κυκλοφορήσει τον Ιανουάριο για το Wii στην Αμερική.

Δυστυχώς φαίνεται πως δεν ισχύει το ίδιο και για την Ευρώπη.[next]

Νέος τίτλος Monster 4×4 – Gameover.gr

Η Ubisoft συνεχίζει την υποστήριξη του Wii με νέες προτάσεις και παρά το γεγονός ότι το Monster 4X4: World Circuit ήταν πραγματικά αδιάφορο, ήδη η εταιρία ετοιμάζει τη συνέχειά του. Το Monster 4×4: Stunt Racer σε γενικές γραμμές θα ακολουθήσει το μονοπάτι του προκατόχου, με τη διαφορά πως πλέον θα προσφέρει μεγαλύτερη ποικιλία οχημάτων.[next]
