This is by far one of the most impressive things I have ever seen in my life. I suppose it could be a fake, or one of those "concept videos" but if its true, its probably the most revolutionary thing anyone has ever seen. When games tout the amount of free-roaming areas in hundreds of square kilometers, a couple of guys, in their free time, are on an MMO project that has the entire universe spread out before the player, with all the geometry, including planets, moons, and their surfaces all being rendered in real-time. According to Flavien Brebion, the head of the project,
Well, write me off as a chump and throw me in a padded cell, 'coz the demo video, which you can view by clicking on the Play symbol above, is one of the most impressive I've ever seen, with real-time zooming in on the planet surface. What was even more surprising is that the opening info in the video shows off a very average rig, with an Athlon64 3500+, 1GB of RAM and an X800 graphics card. With games breaking the hardware barrier every 3 months, forcing people to upgrade faster than they really want to, its surprising there are people still working on delivering an experience that almost everyone can enjoy. If this comes through, this is probably the MMO that will really hold me, considering how big I am a fan of space-based games, especially RTSes such as Homeworld and Nexus: The Jupiter Incident...all the planets have realistic dimensions and scales. If you were to land on a planet and fly at low altitude at airplane speed, it'd take you hours before reaching another continent. You'd never see the same hill or some mountain twice. Then, each major planet can have tens of moons. Each solar system can have many planets, all rotating with realistic, dynamic orbits, allowing you to attend an eclipse or a sunset in real time. Finally, the galaxy will contain millions, if not billions, of these solar systems. All different.

Welcome to the latest whore in the EA-NFS franchise, Carbon! Looks like the guys at EA can't do anything beyond taking a regular franchise, merging the last two games in it, add a dash of something new and something blue and present it to the world as if it's a whole new concept! Carbon seems to be following in these exact footsteps, and seems to have combined the Underground series with the cop chases in Most Wanted (looks like the end of daytime racing all over again), and thrown in something called "Canyon Racing". Apparently, its where you take your ride at high speeds on twisting, dangerous canyon roads with the cops hot on your tail. Larry LaPierre of EA had this to say:
TRANSLATION - "You got money?! Gimme, gimme, gimme!"We pride ourselves on our ability to reinvent the franchise and continually uncover new and exciting trends in car culture. Canyon Racing is a real test of a driver's skill and we think it provides a fantastic game play opportunity to lean into.

Good news, everyone! As if the Direct-to-DVD movies wasn't good news enough, Comedy Central is planning to revive Futurama for a 13-episode run! Here's what the official news report had to say:
Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.
"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.
"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Well, no, I haven't seen the movie yet, duh! But interestingly, Yahoo! Movies has an interesting article on Superman here. Well, I certainly didn't know about George Reeves, but for me, Dean Cain, from Lois and Clark, was the perfect Superman. Witty and humorous, he certainly wasn't mild-mannered in his Clark Kent avatar, obviously, but there was such a chemistry between him and Teri Hatcher. I wonder if anyone here has the Lois and Clark DVDs. After watching the filmmakers do a great job resurrecting the Dark Knight in Batman Begins, I can't wait to see what they've done with Superman Returns. Hopefully, it won't just be a VFX bonanza and have a little something more to make the experience memorable. Incidentally, you might consider me a dolt, but the little light just went off in my head as to how similar Lois and Clark sounds like Lewis and Clark! Tuesday, 27. June 2006, 08:06:45
