GoW2 Jp version is gimped

dizzy aiming for headshotSeems like headshot(aka hs) effects were removed in Japanese version. I personally don’t mind the gore but maybe they should have left in the sound effect otherwise its really hard to tell whether it was a hs or not.

Gears of War theme in Japanese TV

boss_gowSurprised the hell out of me.  I thought it was my Winamp going though random playlist.

Its a drama show called “Boss” on Fuji TV.  I know Fuji TV uses lot of game soundtrack even on News programs but never thought they would be using one on a Drama show.  (Armored Core, Ghost in the Shell are repeatedly used)

You can watch the captured video here.

Gaming Ads

20090622_0805Picture is what I found in Bionic Commando published by Capcom.  So is Capcom into in-game advertising?

I know AXE was putting some effort in in-game ads with Tom Clancy series such as Splinter Cell and Ghost Recons.  And Metal Gear Solid series always featured Sony related devices.

In any case how effective are these anyway?  Unlike usual ads, this would be hard coded, meaning it will be there forever.

Q4 is over, and so is E3

img_0763Time passes by lighting fast.  So Q4 is over and so as my position as primary flash engineer.  Will be working more as a director from this quarter.  Of-course will be keeping track of flash and web technology as always and will continue to work on my personal projects.

And the exciting E3 is over.  Splinter Cell Conviction has gained my attention, I think I’m gonna go for it.  NATAL and PlayStation stick w/ a ping-pong ball on the top doesn’t excite me at all.

Space Invaders Extreme

 

I just got my hands on Space Invaders Extreme on XBLA this weekend.  I didn’t know it has been out on PSP and NDS for while.

Space Invaders Extreme is a successful evolution of the original Space Invaders.  Every shots, every hits will seamlessly blend into the rhythm just like REZ by Q Entertainment.

Since I’m a great fan of ZUNTATA, I got their soundtrack through Amazon.  BTW, Namco should release Ray series to XBLA.
