Motorstorm 2, Ppartida, Resistance2, juego secreto (BBC)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/02/playstation_bounces_back.html

Here's what I was shown:

Motorstorm 2 is due out in time for Christmas and moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation.

The game will feature four-player split-screen action, righting one of the obvious failings of the first game.

The title is some months away from completion but the game's engine looked rock solid and the graphics were as impressive as one would expect from one of the best-looking racing franchises.

Esto es lo que me enseñaron:

Motorstorm 2 estará preparado para navidades y traslada la acción lejos del desierto del original. Los jugadores podrán correr en una isla selvática llena de vegetación interactiva.

El juego incorporá pantalla partida para 4 jugadores solucionando uno de los fallos obvios del original.

Al título le faltan meses para estar completo pero el motor luce sólido comouna roca y los gráficos son tan impresionantes como un puede esperar de una de las franquicias de juegos de coches con mejor aspecto.


Sobre otros juegos


Resistance 2

Resistance Fall of Man was a bit of a disappointment when it was released. The game promised much but suffered from a lack of originality and flat game design. The world the designers had created was interesting but playing in it felt dull.
So what will Resistance 2 offer? I was shown only a trailer but it's clear developers Insomniac want to make a statement. Online the game will host 60 players simultaneously.
It screams epic and tellingly it concludes with the line: "You haven't seen what we are truly capable of."

Resistance 1 decepcionó un poco en originalidad y diseño. Qué ofrecerá R2? Solo vi un trailer pero está claro que Insomniac quiere sentar cátedra. Online de 60 jugadores. Me dijeron:

"aún no habeis visto de lo que realmente somos capaces"


Juego secreto

So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of.

In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.

I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless.
If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.

Vi un trailer de un juego que no saldrá hasta 2009, secreto absoluto. Sony quería mostrar con ello de lo que es capaz la PS3. De hecho cuando mencioné el juego a phil harrison no sabía si admitir que el juego existe. Le dije que lo había visto bajo NDA.

Lo que vi me dejó sin palabras. Si el video es realmente ingame (como asegura sony) podemos decir que se habrá dado un paso adelante en los que los juegos de consola son capaces en términos de historia y de inmersion.
