Maybe should have mentioned this a couple of days ago, but oh well. Anyway, Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, the PC version of PSO, is in open beta... anyone who wants (and sets up a free account) can play, until June 10. Then it becomes pay-to-play with a monthly fee (the client is free, they make money from the fee...)... yeah, I won't be playing once that happens, but it's completely free right now, so I have been for a few days...
That's the team that made Metal Arms. They're the ones currently doing Starcraft Ghost (version 2.0... :))... Blizz bought them. Of course, Blizz is owned by Vivendi Universal, but they've got a good amount of leeway because of their success so I think this'll turn out better than most corporate acquisitions...
pubblicato in: VarieNintendo RevolutionHardware Chiariamoci, io non credo alle rivoluzioni. In questo filmato, se avrete la pazienza di scaricarlo e vederlo tutto di rivoluzioni ne vedrete molte. Sono vere? Non ne sono sicuro. Questo filmato del Nintendo Revolution mostra cose degne di un libro di Gibson. E' facile liquidarlo con due parole, facendolo passare come bufala certa. Ma sfugge il perché. Soprattutto perché il filmato é fatto bene, e richiederebbe diversi giorni di lavoro per essere realizzato. E' anche abbastanza avanzato a livello comunicativo, non sembra un lavoro da dilettanti.
Il filmato ci mostra un Revolution mooolto più rivoluzionario di quanto ci si aspettava. Molte cose lasciano perplesse, ma d'altronde lasciava perplesso anche il Virtual Boy.
Allora? E' reale o no? Io credo di no, ma non ho prove per dimostrarlo. So soltanto che in questo disastrato e triste mondo videoludico nessuno inventa davvero niente. Non illudetevi, non sarà Nintendo a iniziare. Il filmato lo trovate qui. Graditi pareri.
The video can be downloaded here or streamed here.
Quote:They seem real enough, so here you go (of course, it’s always a roll of the dice with all those talented fraudsters out there). The ”R” for “Revolution” is big and cushy, like Mario, so you won’t get any complaints here. It would be a great logo.
The second page is a bit of a head scratcher, though. It’s a little too 8-bit to work, even though I like the simplicity.
