Kinect este numele adevarat al Proiectului Natal. A aparut o noua consola Xbox360 cu un hard disk de 250gb avand porecla de ”Xbox360 slim”. Desi s-au lansat sau se lanseaza cam in acelasi timp se vand separat una de cealalta (Kinect si Xbox) . Noua consola costa in US 300$ si valoarea in euro cam tot atat. Deocamdata nu se stiu prea multe.

Compania Procedual din Zurich a anuntat recent ca au o versiune nou de CityEngine care poate sa recreeze orice oras virtual in cateva minute importand data din OpenStreetMap.
Engine-ul Procedual 3d-city a fost lansat inca din Iulia anuntat odata cu mult controversatul proiect de a recrea Roma in doar o zii( in mod normal ar dura cativa ani), proiect care se numeste “Rome Reborn Project”.
Nu cred ca trebuie sa ne asteptam sa vedem o versiune a lui Mirror’s Edge creata cu ajutorul acestui engine dar Procedual 3d-city va asigura o compatibilitate cu Pixar RenderMan si Google Maps.
Now the company claims that CityEngine’s compatibility with OpenStreetMap allows professionals to rapidly create 3D replicas of all cities that feature on the map.
“Usually it can take up to several man-years to model a 3D city” says Pascal Mueller, CEO of Procedural. “The CityEngine significantly accelerates this process. And with the new OpenStreetMap feature, users can import now every urban street network in the world. On the corresponding parcels, users can then instantly generate 3D buildings by using the CityEngine’s unique grammar rule engine.”

Bungie a anuntat ca urmatorul joc facut de ei nu se va numii Halo 3 Recon asa cum au spus acum ceva timp, ce se va numii Halo 3: ODST.
The upcoming Bungie project formerly known as “Halo 3 : Recon” will now be known as “Halo 3 : ODST.”
“ODST” (literally pronounced “Oh-Dee-Ess-Tee” and not “ohdst”) is the acronym for “Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.” This special forces branch of the UNSC military force is called into action for highly specialized, small scale operations. ODST units were deployed during portions of the Halo 2 and Halo 3 campaign and have also been featured in some of the Halo novels. To learn more about this elite military operation, check out this recent interview with Bungie’s Halo fiction guru, Robt McLees.

Este bine sa auzi si opinii contrare la prea generalizata si prea aceptata idee ca tehnologia si gamingul sunt rele pentur dezvortarea copiilor. Ultimile stiri bune in aceasta directie vin de la un studiu destul de robust, facut pe 800 de adolescenti. Ei foloseau tot soiul de gadgeturi de la Ipods, celurare, PDA-uri la calculatoare, majoritatea fiind gameri. Concluzia: Cu cat mai mult stateau acesti copii in preajma acesotr gadgeturi cu atat mai mult ei deveneau mai socializabili.
“We are witnessing the biggest leap in adolescent freedom since the invention of the car,” said C. J. Pascoe, another Digital Youth Project researcher. “Teens can escape their parents’ control. And that makes adults a little bit scared. But they should know that kids are doing online what they’ve done offline for decades.”
Online communities such as Facebook, MySpace and YouTube serve the same organizing function as mall parking lots a decade ago or soda shops during the 1950s, according to the researchers.
Now, as then, parents are trying to keep kids away from those hubs. Web filters and nanny-ware have been touted as a way of limiting where and when children can navigate online.
But just as teens of yore ducked out the back window, they are today stepping around digital barriers.
BBC a publicat un articol cu un interviu facut in Amsterdam, cu managerul primei clinici dedicata ajutoararea celor dependeti de jocuri. Se pare ca 90 dintre gamerii care joaca mult nu sunt dependenti. Iar pentru restul 10 % dependenta nu e o problema psihologica, ci una sociala, iar cauzele principale sunt parintii si profesorii.
Ninety per cent of the young people who seek treatment for compulsive computer gaming are not addicted.
So says Keith Bakker the founder and head of Europe’s first and only clinic to treat gaming addicts.
The Smith & Jones Centre in Amsterdam has treated hundreds of young gamers since the clinic opened in 2006.
But the clinic is changing its treatment as it realises that compulsive gaming is a social rather than a psychological problem.
Using traditional abstinence-based treatment models the clinic has had
very high success rates treating people who also show other addictive
behaviours such as drug taking and excessive drinking.But Mr Bakker believes that this kind of cross-addiction affects only
10% of gamers. For the other 90% who may spend four hours a day or more
playing games such as World of Warcraft, he no longer thinks addiction
counselling is the way to treat these people.
Am citit pe GamesIndustry un articol foarte interesant. Cica armata Americana planuieste sa investeasca 50 de milioane de dolari in jocuri de razboi destinate soldatilor. Aceste jocuri ar trebuii sa ajute la o mai buna pregatire a soldatilor cat si la sporirea numarului recrutilor.
The US Army is to invest USD 50 million in videogames for training soldiers for combat. The funds will be used over five years beginning in 2010, as part of the new Games for Training program, reports Stripes.“The Army takes this seriously,” said Lt Col. Gary Stephens, project manager for air and ground tactical trainers at Project Executive Office – Simulation Training and Instrumentation.
“We own gaming for the Army — from requirements through procurement,” he added. The Army also has extra budget on top of the USD 50 million to invest in a “state-of-the-art commercial videogame system,” according to the report.
Ma intreb si eu, oare cati dintre cei are au jucat America’s Army sunt acum in Iraq?
Este destul de clar ca nebunia jocurilor bune prin care am trecut in ultimile saptamani s-a terminat. Saptamana aceasta este destul de saraca in jocuri, ocazie cu care vom putea economisii ceva banuti pentru jocrurile ce vor iesii lunile urmatoare, sau…avem ocazia sa investim in ceva hardware :).
