damn too many great games coming in 2013. I should not have opened this thread haha.


lol. 2013 is going to be great year for gamers. If you could only choose 1 game, which one would you choose?


taugh call this. It is between The last of us and GTA V.

 GTAV looks like a huge improvement over GTAIV but at the same time the last of us looks like a good new IP that has potential.

If I had to choose one I probably go GTAV as I grew up with the franchise  since the original GTA so there is sentimental component to it. However I wll not be surprised if the last of us will blow me away more so than GTAV.

 

Understandable because you grew up with it.
If i had to choose 1. I would choose Last of us because i grew up playing Naughty Dog Games. GTA V looks great to though



Just want Grand Theft Auto V, the sooner it comes out the better

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F (PS3) accessory set comes with skins for every PS3 model in existence

Also contained in this seven-item PS3 accessories set are a Dual Shock 3 controller skin, a controller stand, mascot figure, cleaning cloth, a charm strap, and a set of four (earphone) cord managers themed after Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, and Megurine Luka. 

The Dual Shock 3 controller skin and stand, as well as the Hatsune Miku mascot figure contained in the pack can be seen in the image above.

And here are what the cleaning cloth, charm strap, and set of four cord managers look like:

 

As for the PS3 skins, if you own the latest “super slim” model, you have a choice between two designs (both are apparently included in the pack, and you’re encouraged to swap between them the same way you do Vocaloid modules in Hatsune Miku: Project Diva games):

 

Owners of the previous model, the “slim” PS3, will have quite a little more real estate to work with, so an image of Hatsune Miku herself will actually grace the top of your console:

As for gamers who own the gigantic first-generation model of the PS3 (like myself), well, that’seven more real estate:

If you happen to more than one of the three types of PS3s as shown above, then you’re in luck: all four of the skins above will be included in the pack. It strikes me as a little odd, since normally it’s pretty costly to buy just one PS3 skin alone, much like get a pack of four skins (at least two of which the typical PS3 user would not lead) as well as a bunch of other cool accessories.

But according to this image provided by Amazon Japan, everything does indeed come in one package.

Price for the entire pack? According to Sega, the recommended retail price is 4,179 yen including tax.

But! If you go to Amazon Japan now, you’ll see that they’re offering a discount for the set, slashing the price down to 3,409 yen for the whole thing!

On AmiAmi (who ships internationally), the same set can also be pre-ordered for 3,540 yen (not including shipping).

For that price it’s quite unbelievable that Sega is including four PS3 skins in one package, but if you try to order the accessories set there does not seem to be a field where you can indicate which PS3 skin you’d like. There’s also no other indication that each customer is entitled to only one of the PS3 skins per pack.

Regardless, if you want this, you ought to pre-order it right away. On Amazon’s site at least, they’ve said that they are anticipating high demand for the item, and thus will allow only one order per customer.

The Hatsune Miku Project Diva F PS3 accessories set comes out the same day as the game itself, on March 7, 2013.

SCE Patents Depth Sensing Camera: Use Your Fingers as a Gun

 

Over the course of the year, we’ve been uncovering patent after patent from Sony Computer Entertainment for a 3D depth sensing camera similar to the Kinect. This month’s patent once again suggests that Sony are working on a camera akin to the Kinect, with this one highlighting how your fingers could be used like a gun.

In Fig 7, moving the thumb fires the gun. The patent goes on to state:

For example, the user may be able to shoot by different hand gestures, may be able to reload the gun with different gestures, and the different positions or orientations of the user’s hand may cause different graphical renderings of the user or gun on the display screen when the user is interacting with a particular game program.

Microsoft’s best-selling Kinect can’t do proper finger tracking, so this camera would be superior – although rumors are that the Kinect 2 will feature finger tracking.

 

Interestingly, the patent also details how the camera could sense depth: sound location. The Kinect, and most depth sensing cameras, use infra-red to work out how far away the player is, but acoustic location could equally be used. Acoustic location was used in WWI and early WWII to detect incoming planes, before being replaced by the superior radar. One advantage of acoustic location is that it could potentially ‘see’ around corners due to sound refraction, something that infra-red can’t do – although that would depend on the precision of the device.

I thought the Playstation Eye could already sense depth???



I really want Rain to be a good game but I'll need to know more about the game-play before I add it to my "most wanted" list. I love the aesthetics of it, though.

I'm excited for Sly Cooper after watching some of the developer walk-through. The focus was on making it a Sly Cooper game only bigger and better. I think that's the right approach with classic IPs. The environments were gorgeous.

Jeez, I really need to generate more disposable income.
