E3 2008: Day 3

It’s confirmed: Prince of Persia (continued here) is the game of the show. The graphics are insane, and gameplay seems very well thought-out, with a nice, clever sidekick giving a body and voice to hints, double jumps and checkpoints all at once — it sounds absurd, but you need to watch the video to see how it makes total sense. And you absolutely have to watch the second video until the end. Stunning.

LittleBigPlanet needs to replace PowerPoint in every business presentation from now on. (It does confirm, by the way, that Sony should scrap Home and replace it with sackboys.)

It’s hard to tell for sure with the video’s quality, but Star Wars: The Force Unleashed seems to be the first iPhone game not to look like crap — using the good old tricks from the DS of integrating characters (which may or may not be live 3D, I’m not sure) on a prerendered static background, all of that on a vivid, high-resolution screen. But, of course, the gameplay seems to be just about as interesting as Dragon’s Lair.

mouais, prince of persia ça ressemble un peu quand même a un jeu qui a prit du retard et dont le rendu cell-shading est un cache misère... Il était censé être photoréaliste et exploiter la puissance des consoles next-gen... J'attends de voir si ca tiens vraiment la route, mais pour l'instant le design ne m'enchante pas.
