Sony PlayStation 3 owners might want to check the PlayStation Store
out, because Sony's Halloween treat is already online. PSN title Feel Ski,
new applications for the PlayStation Eye, game demos, and a barrage of
videos should prove to be sweeter than a handful of candies.Tori Emaki and Mesmerize, those odd "games" as we've seen in videos, allow players to use the PlayStation Eye to recognize movement. In Tori Emaki, you'll be leading a flock of crows by waving your arms around. Mesmerize, on the other hand, boasts of ten different modes, one of which puts you on the screen and creates funky effects based on your moves. Both are trippy, but they should provide moments of relaxation. Known as Go! Sports Ski in the US, the indie ski simulator Feel Ski is finally available on the European PSN. Along with it come demos of Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights and the much anticipated Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. There are also new videos for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Eye of Judgement, MotorStorm, and more. Before you run off to check if the goods are in mint condition, hit the full article for a checklist! |

Eidos apparently believes that Kane & Lynch: Dead Men has the potential to replicate the success of Hitman. According to MCV UK, SCi CEO Jane Cavanagh revealed even though the game hasn't been released yet, a sequel is already in production."We've already got Kane & Lynch 2 in production, which just goes to show the belief we have in it as a long-term franchise", Cavanagh said. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) is being developed by IO Interactive, the same studio behind the successful Hitman series. Eidos is also reportedly pumping a lot of money behind the marketing drive for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. According to reports from MCV, Eidos is dishing out more money into the game's marketing than it did for any game in the Tomb Raider series.

In the 2007 Edinburgh Interactive Festival, Eidos Product Acquisitions director Ian Livingstone observed that gaming was still significantly behind movies and comics in terms of character "recognizability". This led him to say that the gaming industry "needs more Lara Crofts."GameSpot narrates that in Livingstone's presentation at the aforementioned shindig, he presented the audience images of popular movie and comic characters first, then went on to flash pictures of iconic game personalities. The result: movie and comic book characters were easier to recognize for the crowd. The Eidos bigwig then goes on to ask, "If we all work in the games industry, what does that say?" And then he went on to answer that same question by saying that developers need to establish more character in their games. Livingstone discussed some key elements which can make a character linger in the psyche of gamers. One of the most important, he says, is the name. ""With a name like 'Darth Vader,' you know he's not going to be nice," he says. "Now 'Jar Jar Binks,' he's going to be much more fun." Livingstone also pointed out that a distinctive look always helps. He cited their character Agent 47 from the popular Hitman series and revealed that the bald head with the bar code at the base often fascinated their audience, giving the character more life than others. Finally, he says there are catch phrases. These are amazingly cool and original lines that will help people identify with a given character. Much like in a movie, people will find it hard to forget a particular line that hits close to home. |
