Final Fantasy XII

We, final mind! On February 23, should be the official date of launch of the Italian Chapter XII Final Fantasy . People like me who is a passionate saga of this fantastic can not wait to get my hands on this, also discussed, title.

The opinions of those who have had the opportunity to try discordanrti. Square Enix introduced, according to some innovations in the game that are not liked at all. The system cambattimento, for example, has been indicted in many reviews. However, each title Final Fantasy has always brought with protests, denials by sales figures at the end a few months later. But what's new in this latest title for PlayStation 2? Indeed, it seems that the Playstation 3 will be the only console to take advantage of the upcoming Final Fantasy Punatea. Anyway this is the least of the problems, we see that there's new look soon!

The plot of this chapter is focused on political intrigue and betrayal, leaving little room for the fantastic parts as magic and witchcraft, strong breaking point, then, with previous versions. Moreover, apart from some well-thought-twist, it seems that the story proceeds without exceptional events, with a simple plot for a game of this type. I must say, however, that sometimes the plots of previous Final Fantasy chapters were too complicated and mystical. So, in my opinion, is a simple plot so well to follow the twists in a more relaxing.

On the side of the deadlift barrel disappear during combat! For the first time in the history of Final Fantasy fighting game and will have a single time line, which to me seems quite acceptable, if implemented well. Even the casual meetings have been sent into retirement, so you should be ready and our enemies will see them directly into the environment around us, no mysterious appearances and, indeed, meaningless. The default character is the most criticized. Many did not like licenses, forced and cumbersome, as well as evocations, unnecessary and present only as a tradition! We'll see!

All agree, however, for the impressive quality of the world of Final Fantasy: Ivalice! Some even claim that it is one of the best environments created in gaming history! The setting is medieval, the atomosferà engaging and impressive details.

However, soon, I intend to post - who cares - a reseconto of my personal test, after having played at least a hundred hours!

The Future of Video Games: free controller

As shown by recent data on purchases of the console, the spectacular graphics generated by powerful microprocessors, BluRay players, strabiglianti computing power, not always prove effective in selling (and marketing) of a console. Nintendo has passed all, all aiming the extraordinary controllers (free hand controller or Wiimote) wireless reacts to the position and orientation of the player!

This year we have seen the introduction of multi-touch, see Apple's iPhone for example. The Wii with your Wiimote is perhaps an indication of some major change. For years now we hold the mouse between your hands to work on the PC and the joypad or controller to distract us with the Playstation. Is it time to focus not only on powerful microprocessors and artificial intelligence algorithms, some of the simplest innovation, looking more carefully at how you interact with a PC or a console and not with what you are interacting.

Here, then, that play tennis or go online to Stumble Wii becomes a new and very refreshing, unconventional, but today more than ever. We hope that this is only the beginning of a new era, where the interaction will prevent the action!

Video Games (2.0 beta)

The new craze on the Web 2.0 market will also affect the play of online games? Perhaps this has already happened for some time. Some of the concepts that underlie the web2.0 long been used by numerous recreational experiences on the web. Online gamers are accustomed to use Ajax-style interface and are familiar with the advantage of being part of the software - the game - on a remote server.

In addition, this people on the network of players, has had no problem to interface with the new pricing policies related to these experiences. Pay only when you play or join with an annual fee to access the central server does not seem to have prevented the massive spread of online games! Indeed! On closer inspection many "players" are extremely satisfied with the quality / price ratio compared to an approach consoles or DVD purchased at the store. All this shows also what has been overlooked aspect of online payment. It is evident from the number of players online around the world - and Italy - that there is no problem with credit cards and online transactions secure. Finally, update your online game with a single click makes the play-employees very happy.

What should be stressed, however, is that the differences with the web application using Ajax and derivatives, are many, if not many. If the approach - now - is a nice return to the concept of main-frame, the games have the ability to use their proprietary connections that go far beyond simple HTTP.
