To me it seems too good to be true (why isn’t it implemented with actual game content?), but if it’s real it would be a major game changer. Beyond just graphics this would finally open up something i’ve been waiting for for ages: truly physics based environments, objects with volumes, not just polygons….

Does anybody know more about this?

For those into how things work, optics, photography or game development… and even insight about a reason why some games might make you dizzy. This is from Feng Zhu School of Design, most of their tutorials are concept art related but this was something i thought more people might be interested in.

Hmmm, I wonder if this is one of the reasons i used to feel more rested when playing a console game or a pc game with a gamepad.

While i can’t say I liked Hexen, i loved both it’s prequel Heretic and Hexen 2, but that’s not the only reason i’m posting this: i’m excited to see there’s still excited people out there, remaking a super old almost 2d game with the id Tech 4/Doom 3 engine for true 3d! For those of you that don’t know the original, check out the HUGE difference visually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6I8hVaqmA0

Woooow! I am like soooooooo impressed! that is mindblowing!!!

I think it’s finally clear that things have settled down for good and (except of course for the really hardcore fanboys) everybody can rest at peace that 360 & ps3 are pretty even visual-wise. yeayy!! it’s up to the content/what we like to call "artwork" to make the games not the hardware. Yipeeee!!

Benefits of Genesis include high definition graphics; increased color and motion; stereo and high-fidelity music

Now you can just know a lot of people drooled and dreamed about that, sound familiar? People talk about high definition graphics in consoles… when in truth our HD gaming is often times not even 720p, rendered lower & upscaled. One can only presume that maybe the next generation of consoles, 5 years or more down the line is the one that will actually render at 1920×1080 (which if you think about it is just about 2 megapixels, which for a camera everybody would say it sucks these days)… nevermind that resolution doesn’t even matter as much as realisting lighting (eg. the news on a SD tv looks realistic without having a high definition) which is probabily much further down the line… so my personal attempt is to control my desire & learn to delay games & still enjoy them as new. Just hope i don’t die before and miss any good ones :P

The Making Of "Shadow Of The Colossus"

Wow! not only is that super cool, but also presented (and even made?) by a girl who seems to know her electronics (yep, i don’t understand anything she says :P ). hip hip hurray for gamer girls!

This was done in 2004? wow! I’d get excited how this will be used in games but something tells me the depth feeling cameras have more than just vision and may be expensive to get into consoles yet… stilll… this is the kind of stuff i was kinda expecting Sony to hit the market with in the next years for Playstation Eye attacking the now Wii fascinated audience with casual movement/interaction fun. But like MS has surprised before with their great 360 execution I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d be close behind. Still… i seem to recall some vids of Sony research department for PS Eye so i’d place my tiny bet on that sooner. Or is Nintendo motivate enough to 1up the Wii in 2-3 years?
