space "Igromir. Hi-tech.mail.ru also visited on her, despite not really
our format: after all, have found there place and the hardware. The exhibition
proved to be confined a few very important events from the world of gaming consoles.
We shall touch them first.
The first thing that caught my eye, even a cursory look at the exhibition space
- a place were now occupy in the realm of our country prefix.
Country, recently had a former stronghold of hard-PC, gradually moves to the
"Western" rails. At least, this make every effort two whales, keep on his industry
- Microsoft and Sony. Third, Nintendo, kept modest, but he was represented at
the show well.
The main event of "Igromir became the show and the official presentation of
Kinect, as well as the announcement of the launch of Xbox Live in Russia. Conference
room and fifty-seven pavilion was crowded with people under the string - I honestly
did not expect such a rush. And on the stage was set, in addition to the mandatory
projection screen, and television with a connected Xbox Kinect, and Andrei Kalugin,
marketing manager for Xbox 360 and pretty girl. The same people that showed
Kinect at
a meeting with MSU students last Monday.
And roughly the same demonstration.
Thus, sales Kinect will begin on November 10, that is, the day after. About
this you've already read here. But the price can only say now - it will be very
high. 7500 rubles at the beginning (in the U.S. - $ 150, a standard mark-up).
Compared with 1500 rubles or Move Wii Remote ... Well, you know.
On the second floor of the exhibition was a lot of connected Kinect, it was
possible without any problems (except for queue problems) to come and play.
Report on what it's like to write here will not - as soon as this thing will
have on testing. Then will all the possible details. With videos and reviews,
once the masses of people. Wait. I note only that at first there will be no
"hardcore" games for Kinect, it is extremely casual thing for the whole family
(unlike the same Move).
And while on the Kinect leave. Close, only to Xbox Live, which will also be
launched in Russia on November 10. And it will be a full start, his wound "through
the stump-pack of" New Zealand or British accounts can be immediately rewritten
in Russia: there will be Games on Demand, and multiplayer, and all sorts of
nice additions. But there will be services from non-gaming content. In general,
the usual situation for us. Speaker, told about the launch Xbox Live in Russia,
has also shown how to use the menu driven Kinect Live. Very entertaining. And
I must say, this is the best example of a videophone that I saw - the camera
follows the man Kinect, keeping it in the frame, even when he is in motion.
Well enough about the Xbox. Proceed to the second most important event of the
exhibition. Press conference on the successful launch of Move. Of the controller
to write to podrobstyah no need -
Read our review.
But we can not say that since September 24 (date of start of sales) sold to
date more than 30 thousand Move. It is easy to look at this situation, farsighted
forecaster, will spell success - is painfully obvious it was.
Stand Playstation eventually turned into a kind of demonstration Move - all
waving brightly colored sticks, jumping and fighting. On-screen characters.
Including special guest, comedian Garik Kharlamov.
But these pleasures of life, the vector of success is easy to see problems that
Wii kicks off the market system. In particular, the need for some games two
controllers Move. And for some, without fail - and the navigation controller.
This, of course, gives rise to a variety of management, greater vitality perception
of gameplay. But it also gives rise to the need to go to the store over and
over again, with the new "game with sticks."
At the booth you could play 3D-games on the Playstation. Yes, they really do
exist, but so far very limited. Although in the near future, all blockbusters,
exclusive to the PS will be issued with the necessary support for 3D, that to
fully compete with Nvidia 3D Vision is not enough.
News about Plastation Network: promise in the near future (no exact date, though)
to start a service in Russia Playstation Plus (available in many countries special
subscription with its system of discounts, access to early demos, exclusive
content, etc.) promise make available additional content Russia PSN, but again,
it is unknown when. About the new PSP does not say anything there.
Little about the presence of other companies at the show, not referring directly
to the game content (it was
read on progames.mail.ru,
of course). Wii was introduced considerable stand, as I wrote above, but it
was only from the new game. Portable console 3Vy not been found. Acer battery
rolled out PC gaming Predator, laptops and smartphones' Aspire. LG provided
several publishers for its monitors.
Well, finally, offer connoisseurs of female beauty to evaluate performance stendistok
in this exhibition. I know you pointeresuetes, so I make no mistake - the ladies
in masks and with the books presented the project "Metro 2033".
