The Truth Behind Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:39:50 +0000

Kojima-san along with members from KOJIMA Production and Platinum Games explain in this video the truth behind their collaboration and how Metal Gear Rising was reinvented. Platinum Games producer, Atsushi Inaba , addressed the Metal Gear fans in a series of messages via twitter : It seems there are some who wish to imply PlatinumGames was able to achieve what Kojima Productions could not – interviewers among them. This notion is spurious. Clearly, we have not yet produced any results in the world of Metal Gear. The artists at Kojima Productions gave their blood, sweat and tears to bring the Metal Gear Saga to life. The gap is immense. Mr. Kojima tossed his chips on our table, believing we could handle the task. In other words, he took a gamble. Many seem to think the change from MGSR to MGR altered everything about the game, but this is simply not true. MGSR’s concept excited us. We have love and respect for it, as we do the character of Raiden and the idea of freely cutting anything apart. I know reaction to the new trailer is mixed. Yet I also believe our love and respect shines through. It is my hope that you catch a glimpse of the future in the footage. In order to achieve that evolution, that future, we at PlatinumGames will continue to fight, shedding our own blood, sweat and tears. With that said, allow me to clarify something for the outraged fans. This is not a new direction for the Metal Gear series, nor another disappointing failed project picked up by a slightly known publisher, as you might think. It is simply Platinum Games doing what they do best; fast-based action games with a driven story and insane cut-scenes that makes your fingers bleed in sweet agony! So cut them some slacks, will ya?

SSX Goes Retro with Tricky Trailer

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:58:32 +0000

EA Sports has released a new trailer for their upcoming game SSX (previously SSX: Deadly Descents) featuring a remixed version of “It’s Tricky” by Run D.M.C. There is no word on whether the song will be in the game, but the trailer is a throwback to SSX Tricky, an earlier title in the series. SSX was originally being marketed as a grittier version of the past games, but with this video, it seems EA Sports is finally showing fans the humorous and over the top gameplay that they have been accustomed to. SSX is scheduled for release in February, 2012 .

Hungry Giraffe WIP Screens

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:20:26 +0000

Our friends over at Laughing Jackal have sent us some work in progress sceenshots and some more information on their latest PlayStation Mini project Hungry Giraffe. “Out on the savannah, one poor giraffe is fed up with eating leaves and wants to indulge in a few naughties for once… he’s one hungry giraffe: • Watch in amazement as he stretches his neck skyward! • Gasp in awe as his neck hurtles ever upward, via the power of calories! • Scream with indignation as he wantonly ignores the governments ‘five-a-day’ guidelines and devours all manner of high-energy junk food! • Snacks beware! No burger, portion of fries, ice cream or pizza is beyond his reach! It’s not all gravy though. Your hungry giraffe will have to avoid the heavyweight hazards inexplicably floating through the sky. As well as low, medium and high calorie grub, your giraffe can also swallow dumbbells and anvils – and every good giraffe knows that eating heavy stuff is the last thing you need to power a twisty-turny upward journey.”

Max Payne 3: Design and Technology

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:15:29 +0000

Oh how I love Rockstar Games. As you know, over the past few titles released by the company, we’ve been treated to a number of narrative gameplay videos detailing some of the features of a game or the technology behind it. You might remember these namely with titles such as Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire (I’m not completely sure, but maybe GTAIV used them as well). Keeping with this new tradition is another upcoming Rockstar title, Max Payne 3, and I gotta say, based on this video alone (there will be 5 of these types of videos in all), I am pretty speechless. In fact, you should have seen me struggling to pick my jaw up off the floor with my bad back. Every bullet is rendered in real time? 360 degree shooting, even in prone? Thousands of animations that seamlessly flow into each other? Natural Motion’s ‘Euphoria’ physics for dynamic reactions to gunshot wounds? Well, I’m pretty confident this has now made my Most Wanted list. The video above showcases gameplay design choices from targeting and shooting, movement and animation, to the series staple, Bullet Time. Hell, even the artificial intelligence has a wide breadth of capabilities. Seriously, just watch the video.

The Father of Video Games Calls Current State of the Industry a “Disgrace”.

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:34:32 +0000

While today’s gamers sit in front of their televisions with our eyes glued to the screen and hands affixed to their controller we may forget just how video games all started. Long before PlayStation and the Xbox become house hold names in 1972 Ralph H. Baer , a.k.a “Father of Video Games” invented the first home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey, which also pre-dates the Atari 2600. At the age of 89 Baer has witnessed the evolution of gaming first hand as video games have made the huge technical leap forward from Pong to Uncharted. And while players may be impressed with the changing face of video games over the decades, Baer isn’t too happy with what the industry has become. I think it’s a disgrace,” Baer stated in a recent interview. “What I created got abominated. You can see the same thing in music, literature, art — any form of art,” he added. Despite his dissatisfaction with the entertainment medium he helped create nearly 50 years ago, Ralph H. Baer is still proud of his contribution to the video game industry. In the late 80s Baer created the first motion controller for the Nintendo NES system ( which Nintendo rejected at the time ) that involved a camera mounted on a television which tracked a player’s movements. Sounds a lot like the Eye Toy doesn’t it? Via
