Ever since Sony first released details of the PlayStation Vita way back in January last year (or the NGP – next-generation portable, as it was being called back then), I was immediately sold on the premise. Then we were treated to an amazing full reveal in June, showing off the Vita’s hardware and amazing line-up of triple-A games. Sony also [...]
I recently posted about the Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track video that appeared on YouTube over the Christmas period which I think signalled the start of Sony’s advertising campaign for wipEout 2048 on the PS Vita. I asked our resident graphics expert who has worked in the videogames industry for 13 years to comment on the video. Expert [...]
MCV sources have revealed that both the Next Xbox “720″ and the Playstation 4 will be unveiled at the LA hosted E3 show in 2012. Colour me surprised. With the Wii U promising to underwhelm with its revolutionary touchpad controller that only one player can use at a time, hi-definition Miis and another round of iterations of the exact same [...]
At last week’s Vita Rooms event the full build of wipEout 2048 was available to play. Not only did we record zone mode gameplay for the first time but we also captured a previously unannounced track on video. The new track is called Rockway Stadium and it joins Queen’s Mall, Empire Climb, Sol, Unity Square and Metro Park in the [...]
The full build of wipEout 2048 was on show at this week’s Vita Rooms event in London. It was also the first time Zone mode had been shown off in public. We’ve got some Zone mode gameplay to show you. Here’s a video of me playing the Unity Square track from season 2 of the game. Debbie and I talk [...]
Based on the Disney/Pixar Cars 2 animated feature film, this game is all about racing cars, using gadgets and training to be a world-class spy. This sounded like perfect child-gaming fodder to me. With that in mind I handed it to my brother, Marcus and his 6-year old son, Flynn to see what they thought of it. Flynn’s Review: There [...]
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is the latest in Nathan Drake’s ongoing adventures. Ever since the end of 2007 when the first game was released, the Uncharted games have been showered with awards and sold million of copies. So Naughty Dog have a hell of a job on their hands to make Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception to top the brilliance of [...]
During my interview with Justin Richmond, game director of Uncharted 3 he talked about what Naughty Dog have hidden in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and revealed that Drake wasn’t always played by Nolan North. Richmond said “Jeremy Yates our lead animator is a surprising number of mocap moves for Drake because he’s almost the exact same size as Nolan [North]. [...]
Earlier on today I interviewed Justin Richmond, game director of Uncharted 3 and asked him if he’d seen the clip released by Sony of Harrison Ford playing the game. He said “I have. It blew my mind. Yesterday we were in Italy and one of the guys from Sony had loaded it up on his phone and we watched the [...]
After Sony’s Gamescom 2011 press conference last week, I interviewed Stuart Tilley, Game Director of wipEout 2048 about the biggest change to the weapon system in wipEout history, track editors, voice activation, photo mode and the prospect of another wipEout game on the PlayStation 3. WipEout games have featured many different gameplay tweaks like the recharge lane in wipEout 2097. [...]
The Gamescom trade show in Cologne was the world’s largest game event last year, witnessing a massive 254,000 visitors. If you can’t make it to this year’s show then here is a round-up of where you can watch it all online. The action starts off with the press conferences on Tuesday 16th August, a press and trade only day on [...]
What happens when a piece of entertainment transcends its natural barrier – in this case the player and the controller – and becomes something else entirely? This is a question that has raged in the games industry for years and continues to go criminally unanswered. Can a game be considered art? If you dismissed that thought, then I’ve got a [...]
