Zeebo: A Console For New Nations

Zeebo: A Console For New Nations
Published by: wes213 on Saturday, April 25, 2009
Tagged: Gaming,

First Onlive rolls out to try its hand at the console wars using the angle that you just download a small amount of info and play it off the server and now Zeebo is throwing its hat in the ring by selling to countries that are not the target for other consoles.


Edge-Online reports: June marks the launch across Brazil of Zeebo, a console that aims to tap an enormous new market for videogaming. Designed to navigate the dangerous waters of piracy, pricing and patchy wired internet infrastructure in Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and China, it’s an attempt to extend videogames outside their traditional, and increasingly saturated, stomping grounds of Europe, the US and Japan.

In anyone’s money, making a console for the billion-strong emerging middle classes of such countries is ambitious. And it’s ambition that can’t be achieved by conventional wisdom. “When it comes to traditional consoles, even if you ignore the cost of importing them, the price of the games is massive,” explains Reinaldo Normand, founder of Zeebo. “That’s the reason piracy is such a big problem in these countries. It’s the only way people can afford to buy games.”

It’s a situation he knows well, having worked as a journalist and organiser of game events in his native Brazil. But it was only when he helped set up the mobile division of Tectoy, a Brazilian company that made its reputation releasing Sega consoles loaded with embedded games, that a solution started to become apparent.

6000 miles away in San Diego, Mike Yuen, director of the gaming group at mobile telecommunications company Qualcomm, was having similar thoughts. With 3D graphics acceleration becoming commonplace in cellphones, he was experimenting using TV-out to connect phones to bigger screens and using generic gamepads to provide a more console-like experience. “Internally, everyone thought it was a great idea but the phone-as-a-console concept wasn’t something Qualcomm itself could take further because we create technology for other people to use, so it remained just an idea,” Yuen explains.

Who would have seen it coming. Halo 3 is the most played game on XBL for the week of November 24th.



This could be due to a number of reasons. Broken Matchmaking for Gears 2, COD players are now split between two games or the drop in price of the Legendary Map pack for Halo 3.
Whatever the reason Master Chief has taken back the top spot.

FIFA 09 To Get Large Scale Mutiplayer

FIFA 09 To Get Large Scale Mutiplayer
Published by: wes213 on Thursday, July 10, 2008
Tagged: Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

In a report by gamesradar.com we find the soccer fans have a lot to look forward to this year in FIFA 09 since the game will be sporting a massive 10 on 10 multiplayer.


FIFA 09 will feature 10v10 online play on Xbox 360 and PS3. David Rutter, Line Producer on the PS3/360 version told us: "We've managed to get 10 v 10 this year online through strength of will and technological nous. [But] we want to make sure the control system for controlling goalkeepers is compelling enough before putting it in, because no game has done it particularly well, if it's even been in there.

"So we want to make sure it's good enough before putting it in because the last thing you want to do is say "tada - 11 v 11"… and the goal keepers are rubbish."

He also told us that they have achieved parity between the two consoles, so there won't be anything visibly different on either platform. And yes, tech, fans – that means they've got anti-aliasing running in full effect on PS3.

The game will feature better collision physics between players, much-improved trapping and first-touch mechanics and even tighter animations, following on from Euro 2008's commendable tweaks. We'll bring you much more on this one soon.
