Google unveil Android 'Gingerbread'

noreply@blogger.com (K. Joseph) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:36:00 +0000

Google's next desert theme smartphone OS has been documented on video on the net. Posted in the androiddeveloper's channel on YouTube, the shakey-cam video entitled "We've been baking something" begins with a shot of a Google street sign before arriving in the car park at Google HQ.

Android 3.0 rumored hardware requirements: 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 3.5 inch or higher displays with the 1280 x 760 pixel resolution available (for 4 inch and higher displays).Android 3.0/Gingerbread/Honeycomb is rumored to be more tablet friendly.

The latter specification makes us think of Android 3.0 tablets, that sound like a good idea. The UI will also be revamped, with a new feel, animated transitions and all of that natively, via the UI. Also, Android’s split into two branches will happen, with 3.0 being used on high end devices and the 2.1/2.2 versions remaining on cheap mass market handsets.

Bringing stereo vision to the game allows the player to feel more depth, and the game world becomes more real.”

The PSP Go unboxing Video

noreply@blogger.com (K. Joseph) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:57:00 +0000

I still have my apprehension about the PSP Go most importantly because of the price. Sony did a pretty horrid job of keeping the development of the PSP Go anything but a secret. The Sony PSP Go specs is not jaw dropping the control schemes still remains the same. But from the looks of it this may be Sony's first blantant attempt to let Apple know that their is a New guy on the block sorta.

DLC(Download Content) is the future and Apple has already prep the mass public with it's Apple App Store. Sony see's a market where there is only one king. The differentiating factor in this new Digital War is Sony will focus only on the relationship that the PSP has with the PlayStation 3. While taking the next step of making DLC the norm a way of life for many especially our next generation of youths.

Special Effects Show Reel

noreply@blogger.com (K. Joseph) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:33:00 +0000

This is a very cool video from Digital Domain plus it shows off some very great new video of Transformers 2.

"Digital Domain was started by ex-ILM General Manager Scott Ross after he left the Lucasfilm organization. Ross wrote the business plan, and was then contacted by director James Cameron (Terminator, Titanic) who had heard that Ross was starting a new visual effects company to directly compete with ILM. Cameron suggested that his long-time friend and associate Stan Winston join the company as its third founder. The company had IBM as its initial investor. Then, in 1996, Ross hired investment banker Lehman Brothers to bring in new capital partners. Cox Enterprises then acquired a 33% ownership in Digital Domain. In 1998, after the box office success of Titanic, James Cameron and Stan Winston severed their working relationship with Digital Domain, and resigned from its Board of Directors."

Resident Evil 5 PS3/360 Comparison

noreply@blogger.com (K. Joseph) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:04:00 +0000

The devil is in the details when the evil is exposed. I am still not feeling Resident Evil 5 controls for Sony PS3, but it will be something I have to overcome, because I am a fan of the Resident Evil series. The biggest question would be which version to get, PS3 or 360. If you are planning to get the special edition version of Resident Evil the PS3 special edition version may be the best value because the special additional content will be on Blu-ray in 1080p.

According to PSM3 "What really sets this apart from God of War is the setting. Dante's trip through hell is altogether more unpleasant, twisted creatures burst from doorways, lava spews from inverted crosses and bottomless fiery pits yawn deep beneath your feet."

Can EA dethrone the original action masterpiece God of War III with Dante's Inferno?

Amazing-looking Border Break.
