m$ οn sony presentation:

 

The general manager of Microsoft's Game Developer Group stated: "I think they've definitely taken some concepts that we originated like Achievements, but I think they're pushing in a different direction and we've sort of fundamentally got two different approaches going on here."

 

"I think there is very much a vision that people see it and it looks cool but it's fundamentally separate from the games – or at least what they've shown so far. It's a cool world but it's like a little game by itself. Our approach is the other way around; it's that games are the center and that's the star of the show, that's what people buy the console for."

 

But even Microsoft can't resist Little Big Planet's wool-coated charm: "I think Little Big Planet is very cool," he said. "But I can't see a big portfolio of games at the moment that do this. I don't think there's a whole load to catch up."

 

xmm... τι να ετοιμαζει η m$?

γενικα δεν εχει αδικο ο chief of mgd.

το little big planet ειναι σιγουρα πολυ cool,

και το home μεχρι στιγμης μοιαζει μια μεμονωμενη εφαρμογη.

ενα pre-game game, ενα launcher με γραφικο περιβαλλον.. κατι τετοιο..

Forza Motorsport Pitpass 10.

 

...............Those of you who couldn't make it over to GDC (what, you mean you're not a game developer??) here's an idea of the topics Greg covers in his presentation. Starting from ground zero, Greg laid out the challenge his team faced of creating and capturing sounds for Forza 2. Their strategy was to modularize car sounds into engine and exhaust notes, bolt-on sounds, tire audio, and collision sounds.

 

In fact, every car in Forza 2 has approximately 19 unique sounds (divided into exhaust, engine intake, cams/valves, transmission, turbo, and supercharger) that come together to form thousands of different combinations, depending on the upgrades and mods of a particular car. The philosophy of the audio team was to think of a car's engine as a complicated wind instrument with the following events:

 

* Tuned-length/volume air intake system

* Air enters cylinders through intake valves

* Fuel mixes with air and a spark causes it to explode

* Explosion exits through exhaust valves

* Exhaust system changes volume and shapes acoustic quality

 

 

 

 

Greg also revealed some trade secrets by demonstrating how we captured authentic sounds for superchargers and turbo kits. In case you don't recognize what the contraption above actually is, it's a supercharger pulley device built by the team (with the help from a machine shop). The idea, of course, is to capture both the intense sound of air being compressed and the noise of a supercharger's internal gearing. Likewise, with turbo kits, the team traveled down to a turbo factory in Southern California and force fed a ton of different turbo kits a whole lot of air and caught it all on tape.

next-gen audio?

θα ελεγα πως ναι.

Σιγά σιγά αρχίζω και καταλαβαίνω πως το Forza2 θα είναι ο καλύτερος εξομοιωτής οδήγησης που θα έχει βγεί μέχρι τώρα. Φοβάμαι όμως μην είναι υπερβολικά ρεαλιστικό και πάει "άπατο" από την τρομερή δυσκολία του και τελικά από διασκεδαστικό καταντήσει εκνευριστικό!

Too Human May Miss 2007

 

 

When asked about the status of Too Human, Kim would not confirm a release date — or release year. Kim's comments lean toward a potentially bigger delay to Too Human than expected.

 

"The game is coming along," Kim said. "It's coming along. We recently saw it. We'll have more to show on it soon. We did it an injustice last year at E3. We showed it too early. Some games take longer than others to develop, and since we have so many great games coming already, it's OK for some to develop slower than others. We already have a lot of games this year."

μην ανησυχεις. εχει πολλα βοηθηματα για να ειναι προσβασιμο ακομα και απο rookies.

στην πορεια οσο μαθαινεις, ξηλωνεις

 

βεβαια αν "διασκεδαστικο" εννοεις πχ nfs, τοτε καλυτερα ξεχνα το το forza..

[xrest]

γιατι ρε παιδια αναμενεται τοσο μεγαλης δυσκολιας?

[nzeppos]

Όσο μεγαλύτερη η δυσκολία τόσο καλύτερα. Μακάρι να είχε και υποχρεωτικό συμπλέκτη και car-stalling και να υποστήριζε και H-shifter και δεν ξέρω κι εγώ τι άλλο. Λέμε τώρα, όχι ότι θα γίνουν όλα αυτά, ούτε στο...Forza 4.

 

Ή φτιάχνουμε τον απόλυτο simulator ή...παίζουμε.

[MiltoZ]

γιατι ρε παιδια αναμενεται τοσο μεγαλης δυσκολιας?

 

Σίγουρα δύσκολο δεν είναι να το παίξεις και να το προχωρίσεις. Εξάλου όπως και σε καθε racer ξεκινάς από πιό εύκολα αυτοκίνητα και όπως λέει κι ο P3traN με τα αssists on.

 

Δύσκολο είναι όμως να είσαι ανταγωνιστικός με αυτούς που έχουν καλοστημένα αυτοκίνητα και καλά rankings στα leaderboards. Πάρα πολύ δύσκολο :twisted:

[p3tran]

ας πουμε απλα οτι το game προσφερεται για πρωταθλητισμο. 8)

 

ο απολυτος εξομιωτης δεν κρινεται απο το αν εχει συμπλεκτη και H-shifter.

καθε αλλο θα ελεγα. πχ τα 360 καρε φυσικης το δευτερολεπτο ειναι πολυ πιο σημαντικο πραγμα.

αλλωστε μην ξεχνατε οτι τα μισα υπεραυτοκινητα σημερα δεν εχουν ουτε συμπλεκτη ουτε λεβιε.

[p3tran]

ελα να βλεπω ποιοι ειναι οι προσεχτικοι εδω μεσα..
