Sony’s 3D at E3

Arien — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:48:39 +0000

Sony definitely had a pretty decent showing at E3 this year, showcasing some great upcoming games and features. However, one thing they really tried to highlight was their implementation of 3D technology into games being released as early as of the end of this year. It feels far too early to be pushing this tech though as 3D in the home entertainment center is not nearly popular enough as of yet to really justify a marketing push like this. While it is a neat concept, it’s too impractical as of right now for many as such a feature requires a television that supports 3D, which are currently very new and quite pricey. For the general public it’s just not feasible right now. To really get the audience at E3 excited for it, they did show a trailer for the upcoming Killzone 3 game.

Unfortunately the trailer lacks any real punch, much like the rest of the series. It’s baffling as to why Sony keeps trying to market Killzone 3 so hard when they have much stronger franchises that would have probably showed off the tech much better and actually enticed the audience. On the whole though, 3D is a neat idea that really just seems unnecessary at the moment and it’s unlikely that too many people will be rushing out to get brand new TVs just for this anytime soon.

Congrats, Dean!

Pre-order Super Mario Galaxy 2 While you can!

James — Sat, 22 May 2010 00:42:27 +0000

Here’s a short one to round out our first week back (and with a non-Sony related post at that!) – pre-order Super Mario Galaxy 2 while you can!

If the stellar reviews it’s getting all over from Kotaku and Joystiq to IGN and Famitsu, you can pick this supposedly “perfect” platformer up for 50 bills on Amazon and get a bonus 20 dollars in video game credit. You only have until Sunday so get on that!

Plus the goddamn Whomp’s Fortress from Super Mario 64 is in it. What’s not to love?

Sonic 4 Delayed to Latter Half of 2010

Arien — Fri, 21 May 2010 06:02:37 +0000

Sega has rather excitedly announced that it’s upcoming Sonic 4 title would be delayed. Sega claims this delay is to make sure that the game “is a game worthy of bearing the weight of its name,” which should be easy enough considering the direction the series has taken over the past few years. To do so, the development team has been taking to heart internal suggestions, as well as fan suggestions. Most of these suggestions are assumed to generally be fans begging for them to do a decent job for once.

Sega also mentioned that Sonic 4 would be released on the Apple iPhone and iPad, then concluded this announcement by saying “there are rumors that something very special relating to Sonic 4 is coming around a special date this June.” This is most likely happening on June 23rd to coincide with the anniversary of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Sega however was unable to confirm if the rumor that they started is even true.
