No longer fit compromises. When the data point and lead change in the market (PC takes the lead), the three next generation consoles -PlayStation 4 Xbox and Wii U- One can not speculate. If last year was enough to change the momentum of generation, these platforms now need to prove their worth in a market that increasingly looks more to the computer, Internet and mobile and tablets
The Gamescom in Cologne, that opens its doors to the public today, is the quote header to be reunited with the player. More than 350,000 people fingers and eyes were left last year in the endless stands (this year, over 700) that clog los140.000 square meters occupied by the event. The organization expects to exceed this figure during the five day event (from 13 to 17 for the public), which continues to grow since Leipzig passed the baton to the fourth city in size of Germany which lies on the Rhine River.
The trump cards
The order: 1886 (PlayStation 4, Ready at Dawn, 2015)
Steampunk , monsters, action and detail reproduction of Victorian London. These are the weapons of the great game of PlayStation 4 2015, which is expected to demonstrate the potential of the next generation Sony console.
Quantum Break (Xbox One, Remedy Games, 2015)
The promise Remedy is a revolution. In this exclusive title console Microsoft’s buzzword transmedia (fusion of arts for the same fiction) reaches its full dimensions. What users do in the game will effect a television series Hollywood . Foul see what is essential. How this concept applies
Yhosi’s Woolly World (Wii U, Nintendo, 2015)
That Nintendo is on his own is nothing new. The Japanese giant has always explored unconventional aesthetic for their games. In Yoshi’s Woolly World offer a graphical environment based on the wool (perfecting the technique used in Kirby’s Epic Yarn ) for a platform game starring the Green Dragon Super Mario.
The challenge of consoles and Gamescom is similar. Both seek to excel. The event to be let alone the leader in mass public and to be considered as more than a minor cousin of E3 in Los Angeles, which gets almost all exclusive but received less than a third compared to visitors who , yes, they have to establish a professional relationship with the world of videogame-. This year seem to align the interests of both fronts and be verbose in Gamescom news, presentations behind closed doors to the press and making contact with blockbusters that can play here for the first time.
Metal V gear solid: the phantom pain is one of the indisputable. The fifth title in the main series (or seventh, depending how you look) will be presented in style and live for everyone on Wednesday at 20.00 on the platform of streaming Twitch. Hideo Kojima, creator of the series and each game will be the master of ceremonies of a work that has received adoration from Hollywood, in what seems an obvious nod to Tinseltown to the cultural industry leader in market share ( 70,000 million euros, double the cinema box office). Bastan words of filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, who won the best director award at Cannes 2011 for Drive : “Contemplating the trailer Metal Gear … makes you wonder if the spirits of Dostoyevsky, Stanley Kubrick and Caravaggio have possessed Hideo Kojima because, using the art of videogames as canvas, will triumph where no one has gone before. “
The future of the industry depends not only Thoroughbreds of each study. The technology war again jump down the sector. But it is not always that of who has better visual appearance than who, but you can not change forever what you see, but how and where to be seen. Virtual reality fists back across recently in 2014 between his two top fighters so far: the Oculus Rift Facebook (purchased nearly 1,500 million) and Sony Morpheus, you can only test the closed-door press most recently in 2014 for being the first race is underway. A career in both devices which is scheduled to finish by 2015
Not only large firms compete. In the growing video game market, more and more world map, highlighting the struggle is fierce. Northern Europe is showing how. The phenomenon Minecraft and its 54 million copies (third best-selling video game in history) is the spearhead of hundreds of companies and games that are getting hit after hit from both critics and audiences. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark are this year’s Gamescom partner nations and will have a special area to demonstrate the great time living. But there are other 16 countries involved. Including Spain. The red joystick has two projects that are making waves: Rime (Tequila Works), which is expected to order new releases after the success of presentations in 2013 and Gods will be watching (Deconstructeam), a game that will rain sticks and praise in equal measure for its difficulty and moral decisions that pits the player (torture, kidnapping ., biological) experimentation
But besides the battle for a place in the scene, Gamescom will also have much color. The myriad of cosplayers, visitors dress up game characters. They will have their own area, the village Cosplay (Hall 10.1), where the thermometer geek becoming red hot. A pavilion beyond, playing sports ever tested, although bizarre versions: from tennis matches that are played with a human head to football. And in the beach of the outdoor area will prick djs and can play beach volleyball surfing on artificial wave on a rotating platform. Returning to the media, in the Vintage a large sample of no small ambition will be discussed: the four decades have gaming history in 1,000 square feet. Consoles, computers and … robots.
