E3 Countdown

Larry Hryb, eller bedre kendt som Major Nelson, har netop igangsat en nedtælling til dette års E3. Major Nelson, for at introducere ham, har været en del af Xbox-holdet siden 2003, hvorfor en nedtælling på hans side er en ganske finurlig ting. E3, som I alle ved, er et af årets største begivenheder inden for gaming og er den oplagte mulighed for de store producenter, herunder Sony, Microsoft og Nintendo, at præsentere nyt software og ikke mindst hardware. Rygterne om en ny konsol fra både Sony og Microsoft har længe hærget på interwebbet, men med denne nedtælling kan det da betyde, at Microsoft er rede til at løfte sløret for Xbox720?

Tiden vil vise, hvad Microsoft har i ærmet til det års E3. Det kan være en ny konsol, Kinect Sports 3 eller noget helt andet. Personligt håber jeg at se mere til både Xbox720 og Fable 4, for Lionhead skylder et godt spil efter de to seneste, henholdsvis Fable 3 og ikke mindst Fable: The Journey, men indtil videre er der altså blot spekulationer og intet konkret. Indtil E3 løber af stablen, kan du følge nedtællingen her!


English version:

Larry Hryb, or better known as Major Nelson, put up a countdown on his website counting down to this year's E3. Major Nelson, to those of you who doesn't know him, has been a member of the Xbox team since 2003 which is why a countdown on his website is something to behold. E3, as you all know, is one of gaming's biggest events giving the major companies the opportunity to showcase their newest software and especially hardware. The rumors about a new console from both Sony and Microsoft has long plagued the interwebs but could this countdown mean that Microsoft is finally ready to reveal the Xbox720?

Only time will tell what Microsoft has planned for E3. It could be a console, Kinect Sports 3 or something completely different. Personally I hope to hear more about Fable 4 as well as Xbox720 because Lionhead owes us a good game after both Fable 3 and Fable: The Journey. But that's another topic. So far there is only speculations about the countdown and what it could mean, but until E3 you can follow the countdown here!

Crysis 3 Official Trailer

Crytek, udvikleren bag den succesfulde PC-knuser, Crysis, er nu rede til at afsløre den nyeste titel i serien, Crysis 3. Electronic Arts har netop udgivet den officielle trailer, og det ser ganske fornemt ud. Den audiovisuelle side af spillet er på sit højeste, og gameplayet lader til at være hurtigt og ekstremt. Den to-minutter lange trailer giver et indblik i historien og de forskellige våben samt fjendetyper, som vi kan forvente at skulle krydse klinger med.

Men Crytek har også dårlige nyheder: Til de af os, som forventer at anskaffe os Wii-U, når Nintendo engang vil udgive den vil ikke få Crysis 3. Cryteks Director of Creative Development, Rasmus Højengaard, sagde i et interview med Destructoid, at "I don’t think it’s going to be possible. it’s not in the cards to do a Wii U version." Nintendo er endelig hoppet med på HD-vognen, men det ser altså ikke ud til, at Wii-U kommer til at kunne magte den almægtige CryEngine 3. Se traileren nedenfor og se hvorfor!




English version:

Crytek, the developer behind the successful destroyer of all PCs, Crysis, is now ready to reveal the latest entry in the trilogy, Crysis 3. Electronic Arts has released the official announcement trailer for the game and it looks stunning. The audio-visuals are on the highest note and the gameplay looks intense and extreme. The trailer gives an impression of the storyline and some of the enemies and weapons that we'll be handling in the coming game.

But there is also some bad news: Crytek's Director of Creative Development, Rasmus Hojengaard, said in an interview with Destructoid that the game will not be released on the coming Wii-U. "I don’t think it’s going to be possible. it’s not in the cards to do a Wii U version." Despite Nintendo finally making a powerful console it doesn't seem to be quite enough to house the awesome CryEngine 3. You can see why in the trailer above!
