[E3 2011] Journey Interview
Posted by Tosh in E3 2011, Interviews, Journey on June 17th, 2011
I managed to get a interview with Brian Singh, who is a technical game designer at thatgamecompany. This was a impromptu interview, so it’s not very organized & it was loud in the room. So I apologize for that.
I didn’t get a chance to play the demo before they started to close things down. But it did watch somebody play most of the demo. The demo starts with a low view of the desert and you can see the sand crystals sparkle and it’s a very stunning visually. When you walk around on the desert it reacts kind of like water, it ripples when you go past it. Instead of me just rambling on, I’ll just let the interview above explain it in more detail. But it’s going to be a must buy for me. It looks like another winner from thatgamecompany.

[E3 2011] Hands On – Uncharted 3 Multiplayer / Co-op
Posted by Tosh in E3 2011, Game Impressions, Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception on June 15th, 2011
The line for Uncharted 3 at E3 was always long, which was a good sign. More so, I bet, because you got a cool t-shirt and a code to unlock gear in Uncharted 3. The game mode we played was called Hunter Mode. There was an offensive and defensive side. When you’re on the offensive side, your goal is to grab treasure and deliver it to the treasure box. Defensive side, of course, tries to stop you. There are multiple treasures in the level, I’d guess about 5 of them. After the time runs down, you switch from offensive to defensive (or vis versa). Two levels were available at E3, both were fun and pretty large.
You have 1 buddy in the game, which is highlighted by a box over their name, so you want to stick by them, because they are friends with benefits! For example, you have greater firepower when you are together. I’m sure there are other benefits, but I didn’t notice any. One really cool thing is, when you kill an enemy, you can both stand over the body and high five each other! I seem to recall you can sometimes revive your buddy as well. Not sure if your buddy is random or if you can choose them. Seems like, in this demo, it was random. I hope in the final game, you can choose your buddy.
[E3 2011] Hands On – Starhawk
Posted by Tosh in E3 2011, Game Impressions, Starhawk on June 14th, 2011
The line for Starhawk was never very long at E3 for some odd reason. I usually just had to wait for the current game to finish for my turn at the game. When you spawn, you get a top down view of the battlefield and you get to choose where to drop your pod in your home base. You can steer it slightly when it’s falling in mid-air. What’s cool is you can actually kill others when you land! I never got to see this in person, though. After you land, you press square to burst out of your pod.
Jack Tretton Sony C.E.O. Talks About Hackers & 3D Gaming
Posted by PAUL FIERCE in 3D, E3 2011, PlayStation Vita, PS3 on June 14th, 2011
Sony CEO Jack Tretton during the E3 2011 Press Conference.
In a recent interview with the New York Times. Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony America responds to tough questions and offers insight regarding the recent hacking attacked that the company experienced.
Last week during the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Mr. Tretton enthusiastically spoke about the latest upcoming games such as Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3, All PlayStation exclusives. He also presented the new handheld gaming device, the PlayStation Vita.
Playstation Vita, The Meat and Potatoes.
Posted by Eddie in E3 2011, PlayStation Vita on June 13th, 2011
Sony Playstation Vita has a specification 6-axis motion sensors, dual analog controller, front and rear camera, OLED touch screen type, and the touchpad on the back. Vita has a 4-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and a 200 MHz SGX543MP4+ GPU.
Sony and other devs have praised the power behind this little (well not so little) machine so much as to say porting HD games to it will be very simple. This seems to be leading to a lot of cloud based game saves in which you can play a game on the PS3 and pick up where you left off on the Vita (or vice versa).
Hit the Jump for “The Potatoes”
[E3 2011] Hands On – Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
Posted by Tosh in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, E3 2011, Game Impressions on June 13th, 2011
I couldn’t pass up a chance to try this out. In the demo you can control a helicopter or a fighter jet. First I tried out the helicopter, the battle takes place in a city. You assist other troops on the ground. Targets include regular guys with rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, trucks & tanks. When you are close enough you can lock onto a target and use your mounted machine guns or 2 different types of missiles in this demo. Sometimes when you take out a target you get a nice quick cut scene of the destruction then right back into action. Near the end of the demo you get to take on a few enemy helicopters. Then you finish the demo off with taking out a bridge with supply trucks on it.
