Polyphony Digital, GT5’s developer, promised over 1k vehicles to race. There will be around 20 main tracks available in it and the variation of such tracks will bring the total number to 70.

Already in development for about 5 years, Gran-Turismo-5 is one of the most promising racing games we are waiting for.

After some delays, Polyphony Digital is pushing to release Gran Turismo 5. The PS3 fans have to wait till this fall.

Gran Turismo 5 New Trailer

Sony is going to really push new technologies with their 3D gaming and their motion controller in 2010. Sony’s 3D-enabled Bravia HDTVs will also hit the market in summer 2010.

Polyphony Digital  was waiting for Sony to give the green light. Do you remember when Yamauchi said the game was all ready to go and they could “release it whenever they wished.

BTW “…the fifth installment will include visual damage as well as NASCAR racing.“

Is this a solution for the fight against product piracy.

‘Trials 2’ is the name of the game created by RedLynx. It looks like resignation that The Game Developper put their ‘hacked’ copies  on various BitTorrent sites also Torrentfreak reports that RedLynx

“… has no way of knowing whether the free marketing on torrent sites has paid off. Thus far RedLynx has sold almost 150,000 copies of the game, but unlike the CEO claims, it is also available on torrent sites in a version where the leaderboard functionality is hacked.”

No chance against product piracy

This is not only a good way of promoting aproduct, it is also a very cheap way by giving away a demo version for free download via bittorrent.

What do you think about this scenario?

The game companies give away their games for free via Bittorrent.The money for deveolopment and Marketing will come from selling, additional software, tools, hacks, merchandising, etc.

1998 saw the releases of Metal Gear Solid, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Thief: The Dark Project, three games which revolutionised the stealth genre, laying the foundations for all future stealth releases. Prior to 1998, we had 2D stealth games like Castle Wolfenstein and Metal Gear, which due to technical constraints, could never match up to more recent 3D titles, despite being highly imaginative.

The stealth genre has spawned relatively few releases. Slow-burning, tactical games, in which players must avoid confrontation rather than actively seeking it out, are certainly not to everyone’s taste. However, the genre can lay claim to some of the best games ever released, most notable among them those of the Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell series.

Choosing which games to include in this list wasn’t difficult, choosing in which order they deserve to appear was decidedly more tricky. But here goes!

1. Metal Gear Solid

When it comes to stealth games, you’re either a Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell fan, there’s really very little middle ground on the issue! Fans of Metal Gear Solid point to its superior gameplay, characterisation and storylines; while others argue that super-realistic graphics and tactical gameplay make Splinter Cell the greatest stealth game ever released.

For me, Metal Gear Solid is the original and still the best. Released on the PlayStation in 1998, it popularised the stealth genre, setting the standard for all stealth… Read the rest

Joystiq reminds us all that

“Resident Evil 5 on Wii ‘isn’t likely,’ still ‘possible’“

“Capcom Chief Producer Masachika Kawata was asked [...] a Wii version of Capcom’s fantabulously successful Resident Evil 5. Kawata responded that while the Resident Evil 4 engine would work “perfectly” to recreate the gameplay of Resident Evil 5, the graphical quality of the PS3 and 360 versions couldn’t be matched.

I have searched the web [Google video search results "Resident Evil 5" AND Wii] especially on Youtube I’ve found quite something interesting

Game Makers and the groundbreaking features of the improved iPhone 3GS hardware!

moconews posted “How Game Makers Are Coping With The Introduction Of The iPhone-3GS”

“…, companies now have to decide whether to start developing separate versions of each game for the different platforms, or whether to just release upgrades—as well as how to best allocate resources in the future.”

Best example for such a Gaming Company I’ve picked from Moconews’ choices  (Digital Chocolate, EA Mobile, Sega) is EA Mobile

“EA Mobile: The company plans to create new versions of existing games for the 3GS so that people can play “no matter which iPhone or iPod touch a consumer has,” according to Travis Boatman, EA Mobile’s VP of worldwide studios.”
