360 – a2raya

PS3 – assyria89

Title: inFamous

Platform: PS3

Release Date: 06/2009

My Opinion on the Trailer:

I really enjoyed this trailer. The slow motion really shows off the engine and all the small details that Sucker Punch has put into it. The graphics and physics in this game look amazing. The trailer shows off some new gameplay scenes and gameplay mechanics. The game looks badass, and has a cool comic book feel to it. Expect to see a lot of this game at GDC, but this trailer was a nice tidbit for those waiting on the game. Looks like it should be a good one.

Title: Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles

Platform: Wii

Release Date: N/A

My Opinion on the Trailer:

While this might not be the exact game Wii owners were looking for when it came to Resident Evil, it actually looks like it can be a lot of fun. It is set around the same timeline as Resident Evil 2 and stars Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. It has a classic Resident Evil feel which should please fans of the series. The graphics are pretty impressive for the Wii, and when it comes to cinematic value it should be right up there with Zelda and Metroid for Wii games. Will the rail-shooter pick up this time? Only time will tell, but the trailer looks pretty good overall and the game looks like it is headed in the right direction.

A major blow is about to be dealt to Sony’s PS3. In the wake of Killzone 2 the press and gaming fans alike have touted the PS3’s superior graphics, with Killzone 2 being the main evidence for the their argument. Crytek, the makers Crysis. The only game to rival Killzone 2 in terms of graphical prowess, have a presentation coming up this month at The Game Developers Conference (GDC) that is about to turn the console war on its head.

Having recently announced a new rendition of CryENGINE 2 dubbed appropriately CryENGINE 3 for the specific use of developing multi-platform games, Crytek is all set to debut the engine at this month’s GDC. If Crysis was any indication of what’s about to come to consoles then the PS3’s supposed “superior graphics” image could be shattered.

Killzone 2 was and still is for the moment the PS3’s claim to fame. Sony brags of the game being so advanced that the 360 couldn’t possibly handle it. However the PC for years has been the platform of choice for the graphics whores of the world. Crysis is widely considered by many to be the best looking game of all time. So now comes word that Crytek has developed the CryENGINE 3 designed just for consoles and Crytek believe that they can pull of Crysis level visuals for not only the PS3 but the Xbox 360 as well. With this news one could assume that Crysis level graphics appearing on the 360 would be a huge blow to Sony.

The blow to Sony would be deeper than cosmetics though. The PS3 as everyone knows has a built in Blu-Ray Drive which serves not only as a Hi-Def movie format, but also as a supposed necessity for game developers that want to make games with Killzone 2 level graphical quality. When the PS3 debuted, Sony used Blu-Ray as one of its main selling points to consumers and developers. Consumers were sold on the benefits of 1080p before 1080p TV sets were even on store shelves and game developers were sold on its superior memory to standard DVD and HD-DVD discs. So here we are today the format war is over and Blu-Ray has won. Games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 are out and Sony credits Blu-Ray memory capacity as one of the main reasons that games like those are only able to be done on PS3, but if Crytek can pull of Crysis level graphics on the Xbox 360’s standard DVD format a new argument could soon erupt as to weather or not Blu-Ray is really all its cracked up to be for game developers.

Now let’s try and put all this in perspective. The Xbox 360 benefited greatly from developers using the Unreal Engine, games like Gears of War and Bioshock still look amazing even when stacked up against Killzone 2. Now along comes Crytek director of business development Carl Jones boasting that the “CryENGINE 3 will set the benchmark for complete game engine solutions in performance, and services to game engine licensees and their players” With this announcement everyone must look at the fact that if the 360 can run a game with graphics comparable to Crysis it could essentially be game over for the PS3’s image. If the CryENGINE 3 is as good as Crytek says it is, ultra realistic graphics will not only be possible on the 360 but would become the norm as the engine becomes licensed out to other game developers. This would be a huge blow in to Sony as it essentially would shatter the PS3’s main selling point. The 360 was released a year earlier than PS3, has a greater install base and more must have exclusives than the PS3. Couple those reasons with the Xbox brand just flat out being more popular than the PlayStation brand at the moment and you have all the ingredients for a major shake up of the console war. Consumers may start to reassess their reasons for wanting a PS3 over the 360 and I would bet money that the cheaper price of a 360 would start to come into play even more than it is now.

Okay before all the Sony Fan boys hyperventilate and pass out over this news, let’s remind everyone that the CryEngine 3 has not debuted yet. You never know, Crytek’s presentation at the GDC may underwhelm. All developers talk up their products before they show them. It’s marketing, but if they do pull it off then watch out Sony.

We won’t have to wait long though to hear more on this news. GDC begins March 23^rd and HipHopGamer will be there to bring you the latest news in the industry, and trust us this is one story we will defiantly be following. So stick with HipHopGamerShow.com for all the latest news from GDC.

Most of the time gaming critics get their scores right. But after so many years playing so many games they can often tend to get a bit jaded in their opinions. That’s where these games come into play. They may not be the most original titles to ever grace gaming. However they are all solid examples of games that were underrated by the mainstream gaming press and left to sit on store shelves everywhere. Partially due to jaded reviewers opinions and partially due to bad release timing, but without a doubt these games are the top five most underrated next-gen games.

Rakim- It’s Nothing

Insane song. Just Blaze made the beat, and Rakim on the mic. Rakim destroys it. No doubt. He is a lyrical genius and the god!

From BallerStatus.com — Although Meagan Good’s main profession has been acting, it was recently revealed that she’s been hitting the recording studio in-between long days on set.

The actress — who’s most recent films include “The Love Guru” and “Saw V” — told Rap-Up.com that she’s been recording for her debut album. However, she admitted the album is in the experiment stage.

“I’ve been recording some stuff here and there — just experimenting, really focusing on getting up to par vocally,” she said.

To get to that level, Good has been working on her voice, with a very high-profile producer — The Dream. She says she’s been working with the singer/songwriter for about two months.

As far as the kind of music the 27-year-old actress is going for: pop, not you’re typical R&B sound most black singers would go after.

“I’m going for a more pop sound, actually. I did some stuff with some lesser-known producers,” Good reveals.

According to Rap-Up, Good is still unsigned. But, she has been going into meetings with several labels, weighing her options. A title and release date was unknown at press time.

With his third solo album, Deeper Than Rap, slated for an April 21st release, Rick Ross is gracing the cover of XXL magazine’s upcoming May issue.

On Denying Being A Correctional Officer

“Me not answering or addressing that situation has nothing to do with my career. I’ve accomplished enough, and I’ve made enough money for me to be good… Yes, it was me in those pictures. But I’ma tell you this. Me taking that job, I was doing my job. You understand what I mean?”

WOULDN’T IT HAVE BEEN EASIER TO ADMIT THIS IN THE BEGINNING??
