Day 3... Awards Night

Must I say anything else???


This is Alexei Pazhitnov, he made Tetris!!!














I met a bunch more people too........

Well to quickly recap the important stuff of the day.

Sony announced their GAME 3.0 Philosophy. Similar to the Web 2.0

Sony announced their new piece to the PS3 which is called HOME a virtual online environment that utilizes customizable avatars. (Think Second Life but with better graphics) However, you are not really able to develop for it other than just buying new items for your character and place.


HOME

• Online virtual world
• Customizable avatars
• Large social community
• Special in game advertising (Mostly gaming related content, new game releases, sony products)
• HD video streaming
• Huge Physics engine
• Actual working games (Pool table, bowling, arcade games)
• Movie theaters (you can rent movies, watching movies, etc...)
• Personal Apartments (private spaces, public spaces)
• Customizable furniture, downloadable content (content for purchase or developer created)
• Special Trophy room

Special new stuff with SingStar online. Special EyeToy features, to record and upload videos like Youtube.

The coolest thing was a new game, developed by the guys that made RagDoll KungFu. They formed a new company and were brought on to develop for the PS3.

Its called LittleBigWorld

An AMAZING GAME!!! Its a game where you collaborate with others to make your own game. They call it communal play.

I'll try and post vids and more pics. But roughly the game is based on a huge dynamic interactive world utilizing heavy physics which allow for infinite possibilities.




And Gears of War won Game of the Year!
That's it for now, just a small recap of the days events. I'll try and catch up with everyone again soon.
