Moledina Recommends Nintendo's GDC Keynote
by Rob Galbreath (03/20/06)


Jamil Moledina, director of the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California, recommended seeing Nintendo's keynote speech this Thursday.

When interviewed by Firing Squad, an online gaming site, Moledina ended the conversation with some insight on the next-generation console companies. "I would strongly recommend attending the two platform keynotes from Sony’s Phil Harrison and Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata," said Moledina. "Trust me!"

Nintendo Co., Ltd President Satoru Iwata will be speaking on behalf of Nintendo at GDC 2006. The keynote, entitled "Disrupting Development", is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. PST and set to run for an hour and a half.

According to the GDC Web site, Iwata "will reveal the backstory of how a string of recent disruptive products from Nintendo—the Nintendo DS, the 'brain-training' games, and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection—surprised the market. He will share his thoughts on the role Nintendo’s video game systems will play in expanding the market and widening the possibilities for developers."

Though no information is promised to be revealed about Nintendo's next console, code-named Nintendo Revolution, several gaming analysts indicated that Nintendo may decide to disclose details before revealing the bulk of information at Electronic Entertainment Exposition, known as E3, this upcoming May. Nintendo representatives promised that nearly all information regarding the Revolution will be unveiled at that time.

Moledina said the Game Developers Conference "started as a gathering of programmers in pioneer developer Chris Crawford’s living room in 1987. The show started with the name 'Computer Game Developers Conference,' and grew in size, changed ownership, moved to different cities, and also grew in scope to cover the entire industry. Today, the GDC is the largest event in the world dedicated to game creation, with over 12,000 attendees last year."

The official GDC 2006 Web site can be found here. Revolution Report's Aaron Canaday will be attending Iwata's keynote address and reporting on site.

These images may have been intended to inspire, but to me, they are rather disturbing...

That guy seems somewhat creeped out.

This seems... suggestive...

Either A: Jesus seems to be a playful sprite if he's just sort of guiding a surgeon's hands rather than simply curing the guy. Or B: Jesus should probably leave the job to the guy with the actual doctorate.

Haha! Clowns are funny.

Considering the all around "look" of that guy, it seems Jesus is always there to help you build that nuclear warhead to SHOW THEM ALL!

A pretty good idea of what revcon will be like if it were made playable for 1080 Snowboarding. notice how he brakes and does tricks; The Revcon litteraly becomes the snowboard. If you ever thought how the fuck is the revcon going to work, this should be a good example of how 3-D control can update 2-D control in to something new.

Some of you might remember that in Japan there was snowboard kids-esque game that came with a mini-snowboard that could attach to your PS2 controller over the anal sticks. You position your fingers on it as if they were legs and virtually snowboard. it was pretty awesome and i was hoping more games like that would be made, but this demo takes it to next level. Looks like alot of fun (although this guy seems to suck a little)

My theory is that he's holding the fake Revcon in his right hand and a GC pad in his left (off camera)

Silent Hill 1 Re-Release?
Actress suggests Konami's readying a remake of sorts.

Someone may have finally done it; someone in Hollywood may have finally understood what it takes to adapt a videogame properly for the silver screen. Silent Hill fans are understandably anxious for the release of the Christophe Gans-directed take on Konami's survival horror series, but thankfully, word on the movie has been nothing but good.
In fact, buzz on Silent Hill has been positive enough that Konami may even take a look at tweaking the original game to capitalize on the movie's potential success. Fan run website Silent Hill forum picked up a copy of the latest issue of horror magazine Fangoria, where Konami's apparently expressed a surprising amount of praise for Gans and his work.

Gans has already agreed to participate in a Silent Hill sequel if the movie does well next month, and he's even looking into adapting another one of the company's franchises - may we suggest the long awaited Metal Gear Solid movie?

Most interesting to gamers, though, should be the idea that Konami's allegedly interested in remaking the original Silent Hill and replacing the original male lead of Harry Mason with the film's female lead, Mason's wife. When Konami was contacted about the possibility, though, public relations head Marc Franklin said "this is just a rumor."

An all-new Silent Hill won't be released on the current generation machines, but with plenty of life still in PlayStation 2 and the like, a revisiting to Silent Hill's origins certainly couldn't be out of the question. We'll be crossing our fingers, and so should you.

It makes sense, replacing the lead character, using the graphics engine of SH 4 and sending the game out with a price around 30 bucks. Movie tie in plus it would be awesoome to boot, as SH is one of my favorite games would love to see it remade. I dunno about playing as the wife though... story wise it wouldn't make sense. So maybe it'll be something like you play silent Hill rght BEFORE Harry gets there, or he arrives during the game and you never meet, etc. That would work.

Come on konami, we know you wanna try out the revcon... do it. DO it...... DO it.

Quote:To whom it may concern:

Several months ago, I purchased a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, Model WRT54G, from the Best Buy in Sherman, Texas. This particular router came with a $30 rebate, $15 from Best Buy and $15 from Linksys. I took the necessary steps to receive this two rebates and eagerly awaited my promised cash return. Perhaps a month later, I receieved a check from Best Buy in the amount of $15.

Today, I received a helpful reminder from Linksys that I had forgotten to send in a UPC from the router box. Now this was an odd thing, for I had made sure to put the UPC I cut off the box into the envelope I sent to your company. I took out the router's box and, sure enough, the UPC was no longer present. In conclusion, I would be delighted to follow the instructions given by the helpful reminder, unfortunately this is impossible given the fact that I ALREADY SENT IN THE UPC TO YOUR COMPANY.

I fully realize that it is now impossible for me to receive my promised $15 and that this email will accomplish absolutely nothing. However, I am quite upset by this "ordeal" and do no simply wish to drop it and forget everything. I was promised that $15, and in fact my purchase of your product was influenced by the self-same promise, and now this promise has been broken by your company, for whatever reason.

I sincerely hope this was a legitate mistake and the UPC was simply lost somewhere along the way, however, I will, in the future, take care to avoid purchasing anymore products from your company.

P.S. In the attached file you will find a picture of the original box complete with the missing UPC code, which I myself cut off and placed in the original letter to your company.

This is always a fun game :)

I'll go first.....

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PS3











um... lol? is it just me or do these graphics look worse than 360? The game isn't done yet, but it's a launch title which means that by now most of the work is going to be bug fixes and testing. So, yeah... this is the 1080i 120 frames per second made of angel hymen behemoth of a gaming mecha? it looks like a bump-mapped PS2 game... I compare it to animal droppings.
