Ωραία, αν καί αυτή η ριμάδα η GPU ακόμα δεν είναι έτοιμη.......

 

Όσο για τη τιμή, $250 το κόβω στη χειρότερη των περιπτώσεων.

Ubisoft Employee Comments On Red Steel

 

The game had exactly two weeks to port itʼs gamecube dev kit version onto a revolution dev kit prior to E3. It was not exactly the winning method to show off a game in the best light.

 

I played the control scheme of MP3 and Red Steel (and Zelda for that matter) and there is defintitely not much different. Read Mattʼs blog about FPS controls on the Wii. This revolutionary system requires a bit of extra thought to the coding but Iʼm fully confident that we will meet the challenge. There is a reason why Red Steel was the only 3rd Party game demoʼd during the press conference.

 

We are planning on doing something special with IGN to keep you guys up to speed on the progression of the game. I think you deserve to know the development process for something brand new. REALLY BRAND NEW. It should be good stuff.

 

We have plenty of time to create the best possible game for the Wii.

p.s.

This is why publishers donʼt show early games at E3 or only behind closed doors sometimes.

Αν και ειναι ακομα νωρις καθως τα παιχνιδια ειναι launch titles, υπο αναπτυξη και τα video που εχω δει δεν εχουν καλη ποιοτητα νομιζω οτι το Sonic Wild Fire εχει τα καλυτερα γραφικα και απο κοντα ειναι το Super Mario Galaxy και το Red Steel. Αν και για το Red Steel ειχαν μονο δυο εβδομαδες για να το μεταφερουν απο το Gamecube dev kit στο Wii dev kit για την E3.

Έτσι είναι, δεν κάνεις λάθος.

 

Αλλά το έκαναν επίτηδες για να ξαναδώσουν την αίσθηση του 2D platform Sonic.

 

Όσοι το έκαναν review το παιχνίδι, μιλάν για ένα καταπληκτικό παιχνίδι, με σφιχτό χειρισμό, το οποίο στην ουσία ανασταίνει τη σειρά Sonic.

 

Το Excitetruck μου άρεσε πολύ, όχι τόσο για τα γραφικά, όσο για τη ταχύτητα, το περιβάλλον που αλλάζει μπροστά στα μάτια σου και για τα τεράαααααααααστια άλματα που κάνει το φορτηγάκι σου!

Broadway Would Have Been The New iBook CPU!

 

At the time of The Switch, Apple was entertaining a plethora of very attractive but unreleased and completely unproven PPC options. IBM had offered them Cell on the desktop and Broadway (the Wii processor) in their laptop line.

 

 

Ο παλιος Apple iBook ειχε τον G4 στα 1.42 GHz και τελικα η Apple, λογω κοστους και κατα συνεπεια της αλλαγης στους Intel, εβαλε στον καινουργιο iBook τον Intel Duo-Core στα 2 GHz. Τελικα ο επεξεργαστης πρεπει να ειναι πιο ισχυρος απο οτι αρχικα περιμεναμε και παντως πολυ πιο ισχυρος απο τον custom G3 του Gamecube.

Epic And Nintendo "Talking"

 

Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski mention in an interview with Joystiq that Epic, the company developing Gears of War, is speaking with Nintendo over the possibilities of the company bringing a game to Wii.

 

That's all he said in that regard, saying he can't elaborate on what Epic may or may not be planning. He did say that he was disappointed that he didn't get a chance to try Wii at E3. He wants to reserve judgment on the system until he plays it, as he made the mistake of jumping to conclusions with the DS.

 

I was very judgmental about the DS until I actually got to play hands-on with it," said Beleszinski. "I love Trauma Center and stuff like that.

 

He says Nintendo is "zigging while everyone else is zagging" and applauds the company for trying something different. He says, however, that despite how incredible the controller may be for first-person shooters, developers still need to make a great game.

 

"Even though you have a new way to control and make a new FPS, you still need a cool, compelling FPS underneath that. [Control] is only one of five things that you need. Give us a Half-Life 2 with those controls and I'll be first in line to buy it.

Nintendo Wii Light Gun & Classic Controller Not Available at Launch ?

 

Nintendo have commented that the only controller attachments that they have confirmed for the Wii's launch are the Wii remote and the Nunchunk controller only. In speaking to CVG they also denote that any information regarding '17 launch titles' for the Wii's launch are just speculation as they have not announced their line-up and will not do so until we got closer to the Wii's release date in Q4 of this year.

 

 

Looks like these two peripherals will not be available on the Wii launch day.

 

 

quote:

 

Many sites are currently listing the following games as primed for release come the Wii's launch later this year and - based on what we know so far - it seems more or less accurate, if not conclusive:

 

- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

- Wii Sports

- Red Steel

- Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

- Madden NFL 2007

- Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

- Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

- Metal Slug Anthology

- Trauma Center: Second Opinion

- Elebits

- Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

- Blitz: The League

- Rayman Raving Rabbids

- SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the

- Krusty Krab

- Disney/Pixar's Cars

 

However, we put in word to Nintendo Europe who responded thusly: "Nintendo has not announced its launch line up and will not until closer to launch. All that has been said is that titles available in the launch window could include Zelda, WarioWare and Mario."

 

Furthermore, Nintendo revealed that reports of the Classic controller and light gun add-on arriving at launch are incorrect. However, there's further news on what we can expect to be unpacking when we pick Wii up on launch day: "We have not confirmed which controller attachments will be available at launch either, other than we plan to include one Wii Remote and one Nunchuk controller [in the Wii bundle]."

Ubisoft Rep confirms Red Steel will have Blood

 

According to a Ubisoft VIP on IGN Insider forums (subscription required) had the following to say about the game:

 

“Itʼs the same controls, I just believe they were a bit tighter as we were developing on the GC dev for, well, for a while. I can assure you that we have plenty of time to refine, tighten, and ensure that the controls are solid. In regards to the blood, there will be blood - just not in a grpahic way. I believe you can have blood spurt and then disappear and still receive a teen rating. Regardless of that point, the game is all about the controller and itʼs movements - not so much about the graphics.”

 

This is good news since at least the title will be Rated T, have time for tuning for launch and and have some form of blood, something some fans felt upset after hearing rumours there would not be blood at all.

Sega Confirms Future Nintendo Support

 

According to a Press Release over the weekend, Sega Sammy has revealed to what extent it will be supporting each platform in this fiscal year, which ends in March 2007. The list showing the number of games per format is as below:

 

# PlayStation Portable - 29

# PlayStation 2 - 28

# PlayStation 3 - 17

# Nintendo DS - 17

# Xbox 360 - 14

# Wii - 7

# GameCube - 2

# Game Boy Advance - 2

# Xbox - 1

 

 

It is surprising that the support for the Nintendo Wii is currently so poor in comparison to the XBOX 360 and even the high-priced PlayStation 3. All that can be hoped is that the Wii titles are of a higher quality, rather than rushed updates of old XBOX/PS2 titles...

Miyamoto Flattered by PS3 Controller

 

Nintendo's big gun raps about Sony's plans, the Wii controller, and Japanese reaction to the Revolution's new name.

 

In an interview with Canadian publication the Edmonton Sun, Nintendo super star Shigeru Miyamoto commented that Sony's inclusion of motion sensing technology in its new controller proves the Wii is on the right track.

 

As to whether or not he thinks Sony copied the idea from the Wii controller, Miyamoto replied: "It's kind of what always seems to happen. But the fact that they looked at what we were doing and decided it was a good path is kind of flattering; it kind of reinforces in our minds that we're doing the right thing."

 

"What they've done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device that's similar to what we did back on the Game Boy Color many years ago. Maybe if they were to completely copy and go with a remote and a nunchuk and two motion sensors, I might be a little more concerned. But I don't think they're anywhere close to that."

 

As for Sony and Microsoft's performances at E3, Miyamoto said: "They're talking about the next generation of the same old videogames - it's the same old experiences with new graphics. And while there are people who enjoy that, we're really talking about the next leap in interactive entertainment, and really bringing interactive entertainment not just to videogame fans but to everyone."

 

Miyamoto also tried to alleviate any worries that the Wii controller will prove too cumbersome for those who just want to sit on their couch and play a game. "The fact of the matter is, if you want to, you can play in much the same style as you did before. You can sit with Zelda and just with little movements you can control the game perfectly well. Similarly with tennis, by kind of slapping the Wii remote against your hand, you can play the game that way if you really want to. As people get better and better at the individual games, it may be that their motions drift from the more exaggerated to the less exaggerated. But at the same time, I tend to find that moving around a bit more tends to be more fun."

 

And finally, the designer had some comments about the name of Nintendo's new system. "In Japan, a lot of gamers thought it was a strange name, and the comment we got the most was that it doesn't sound like the name of a game system. What we did find with the casual gamers or the non-gamers - because it does sound so different and unique - it doesn't sound like a game system. And that's a plus for them."
