Lately i was wondering.. is there something new in the gaming industry?
Don’t misunderstand me, i like games like bf2, cod4, guild wars etc etc..
But still i am curious if gamemakers can do something new with the if..then
machine invented 50 years ago (the computer).
I think this list can give a glimpse of something new on the horizon..
(please note games are not in any favourite order)
Guild Wars 2
A massive, gorgeous mmo, what’s new u’ll say? It’s the first real mmo
to have no monthly fee…
Spore
From sim-creator comes this particular game. You start as a bacteria
to evolve until becoming a space-god entity with a galactic empire.
Total War:Empire
A living and breathing 1700-1800 era with the addition of real time
naval battles where crew enter the fights as well. Amazing.
GTA 4 Ok this maye it’s not new, or maybe yes.. The formula is the same
seen in previous chapters with addition of some multiplayer modes
and gorgeous looking graphics.
Mirror’s Edge
Not sure about this.. Should be a 3d action-adventure made by
legendary dice developers. The new thing is that you can interact
with the enviroment with the full parts of your (character) body.
Physyx Engine.
The next big thing? As you know the ageia was acquired by nvidia.
What about games with full destructible enviroments, thousands
of debris that float at full speed and other spectacular mess..
I think at this point is pretty hard to come up with a game ‘new’
most of the games today were already made good or bad, do you think
they will come up with something new? Do we need new ‘books’? or
we are just fine as far as they keep writing good books?
And you what do you think? Do you think there is something new
that deserve a place in this tiny list i made? Rock on dudes and
cya.
Rigs of Rods (also known as RoR), is a truck, car, airplane and boat simulator. You can drive, fly or sail in total freedom in an open environment. What makes RoR different to most simulators is its unique soft-body physics: vehicles chassis and wheels are simulated in real-time as flexible objects, giving the simulation an extremely accurate behavior, while allowing the vehicles to be simply specified by their structural composition, as a network of interconnected nodes (forming the chassis and the wheels). Crashing into walls or terrain can permanently deform a vehicle in a realistic manner. In addition to its unique soft-body physics, RoR also features an advanced flight model based on blade element theory, allowing the accurate simulation of any airplane, base on their physical dimensions and wing airfoils. It also features an accurate buoyancy model based on elemental pressure gradients, enabling boats with complex hulls to move realistically in the swell. Rigs of Rods is an amateur game developped by Pierre-Michel Ricordel, aka Pricorde, and is a one man hobby development, with a $ 0 budget, that has started more than two years ago and is still continuing.
This is a fantasy MMORPG based on the Celtic mythology, Mabinogion. Unlike other games, when a player starts off in-game they may choose an age for their character instead of a class. For every Saturday that passes, the character will age one year and as a result they will recieve higher level-up stats and such. A unique feature in this game is the rebirthing of characters. You can choose to rebirth your character back to level one (resetting everything) except the skills you have learned in your previous life. By rebirthing you will be able to have more skills than a player who does not choose to rebirth.
