3-D Gaming

Some Television makers are now making 3-D TVs for distribution. For many games, the leap to 3-D is a small step. Sony and Nintendo have already unveiled their initial plans to ebter the 3-D realm.

Sony began updating Playstation 3 consoles for future 3-D gaming features. Nintendo revealed a 3-D version of its top-selling handheld DS system, calles 3DS, that wouldn't require 3D glasses due out later this year.

I'm pretty sure most have gone down to the shore at least once or twice in their life, or even any arcade for that matter. Furthermore I’m sure we were all over taken by beach head 2000 the yellow machine you pull down over your face, and the torrent moves around and you move with it. This was a great game it was virtual reality in its own way. However, this is some that I think will be coming out sooner than later, but for now its release date is still very much in the future. For one thing, I do feel this will benefit in ones fever towards exercise because you are the game you have to make the movements the people do on the screen.

Procedural Generation?

Spore's infinite universe:
-Apperantly, anything that is to be discussed about future gaming, Spore's is a big topic. Will Wright, the creator of the popular game The Sims also Sim City, has created this gamers paradise.
-you start as a single cell organisum and evolve into a creature in which you have created. Into tribes, the cities then planets.
Then you can travel to the other planets and build warships and eventually wipe those" aliens" out.
-The question is: "how the hell do you fit an "infinite" number of aliens and planets into a few DVD worth of data?"
-and-
" The is answer is a technique called procedural generation, which just means the game doesnt store millions of creatures, it just stores the methods by which they can be built: you, the gamer, make the creatures."

Pretty Cool...huh?

XBOX 360

The future of gaming is now. The XBOX 360 device has led us into the future of entertainment the whole family can enjoy. Netflix is readily available wih a push of a button on the controller. The system will connect to Netflix and determine your video quality and within minutes you will be watching any movie you desire. The development of XBOX Live has a gamer playing someone possibly thousands of thousands of miles away or as close as next door. I am a die hard Madden Football fan. I've been a fan since 1994 and I would have never thought I would be able to play anyone online through Xbox Live! I ask myself what if there were no such thing as video games? How would I have survived as a teen being so "bored." This was also 20 years ago, before the internet was readily available.

What if video games were real?

Handheld Contraptions


Portable gaming is really cool, Gameboy and GameGear were awesome for their day; but now the PSP and the Nintendo DS rocks the stage. I have a PSP (Playstation Portable), it’s the coolest thing, the graphics are really good and the TV, speakers and controller is built in making this little gadget totally portable. Also is a great gaming system to bring to work, especially when you’re a Security Guard and your board out of your mind. The Nintendo DS is not one of my favorite systems to play games on, the graphics aren’t as good, but it’s still the same concept everything is built in, and its totally portable, the one thing I can say about the Nintendo DS is, the load times are much quicker, however ill stick with my PSP.

PC Gaming




The one thing that just keeps getting better is computer gaming. Being that it’s a computer, you can do so much with, however it can get very expensive. I personally a true PC Gamer, believe graphics on PC look Ten times better on a computer, and for the most part like PS3 the internet is free, if you need a controller, plug one in. PC gaming is always going to be a very strong competitor. One reason is because the people that knows how to hack or download games get away with it. However, pirating is not legal, nor is it worth throwing your life a way for stealing a game. Here is the cool part about computer gaming coming this summer there’s going to be a software upgrade for PC and MAC you do not have to have a super Alienware PC. OnLive is going to be a like a little router that broadcast the game to your computer, and like I said before you do not need to have a super computer. I watched on YouTube, one of the creators form on live play Crysis low grade PC and it looked awesome and ran grate. Check this stuff out if you don’t believe me.

Playing Pong with The Blink of an Eye:

on March 26, 2010, an article was released containing the information about some college students from Imperial College in London, who are currently working on a new way to play games. These students have adapted the game 'Pong' and as the bat hits the ball that bounces around the screen, they have cordinated it to happen using the movements of your eye. " To play the game, the user uses glasses containing infrared light and a camera that records the movement of your eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a computer program that syncs the players eye movements to the game. This type of technology is low in cost. This will allow people with severe disabilities that could have never played typical video games, be a "gamer" now!

It's Time To Rock Your Socks Off!



Rock Band essentially picks up where guitar hero leaves off. It uses the same style of guitar used in guitar hero but also has devices that are used to play the bass guitar, and drums parts to songs as well as sing through a microphone. Rock Band allows up to four players to simulate the performance of popular rock music songs by playing with controllers modeled after musical instruments. Players are scored on their ability to match scrolling musical notes while playing instruments, or by their ability to match the singer's pitch on vocals.

Players with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions can interact through both online and offline multiplayer capabilities. In addition to the 58 core songs included on the game disc, over 1000 downloadable songs have been released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions, with more added each week.

No Stairway To Heaven



Guitar Hero is a video game that uses a guitar-shaped device to simulate the playing of lead, bass guitar and rhythm guitar across numerous rock music songs. Players match notes that scroll on-screen to the colored fret buttons on the controller, strumming the controller in time to the music in order to score points, and keep the virtual audience excited. The game initially used mostly cover version of songs, but most recent titles feature soundtracks that are fully master recordings, and in some cases, special re-recordings, of the songs.

The game currently has seven major releases and four expansions on gaming consoles, and with spinoffs for Windows and Macintosh systems, mobile phones, the Nintendo DS, and an arcade game, with several more titles announced for future release. The Guitar Hero franchise has become a cultural phenomenon and has impacted both the video game and the modern music industry. The first game in the series was considered by several journalists to be one of the most influential video games of the first decade of the 21st century.

Cell Phone Gaming

Cell phones, in todays society, are status symbols. The cell phones that "do it all" and have apps for just about anything you can think of-are a must have! Cell phones have had games already loaded into them for a while ( starting back when Snake was pre-installed into the 1997 Nokia phone) now but only recently in the past few years have you been able to play games that only seemed possible to play on your XBox or PlayStation. The iPhone for example has handheld racing games that steer the car as you turn your phone the direction you want the car to go... or how they made it possible to play Guitar Hero through your phone as you press the chords via screen/buttons... the phones with internet access can download any game made available on the internet. Its amazing how games, that used be be only for video game consels or home PC, are now able to be played by taking out a small gadget from your pocket at any time, any place. Some games, if played by someone with the same phone can become multiplayer and play at thee same time. Other phones that are touch screen allow two people to play at once, the phone can be laid flat and the opposite ends and the screen slits allowing each person to play half screen. Gaming is continually expanding, but the asspect of gaming through your cell phone is very interesting to me.
