2005 E3Expo – Thursday, Day 2 “Sleep? We don’t have time to sleep! You can do that on the plane ride home!!” Or so said Chunx when responding to pathetic complaints from WKLINK about the lack of sleep opportunities, after a writing session that lasted into the wee hours of Thursday morning, followed up by a full […]
Back to Page 4 Motorsports by Chunx GT Legends (10Tacle Studios) Our schedule book for Thursday was pretty full with meetings for Tactical Shooters, flight sims, and computer hardware, but our first appointment for the day was with race developer 10Tacle studios, where we received a briefing from Senior Designer Rod Chong and Public Relations Manager […]
Back to Page 3 The other game I got a chance to see up close is 1C’s WW2 RTS. This title looks to be nearing completion and although it still needs some finishing touches it looks very very good. What seems to make this game different from what appears to be the overwhelming number of […]
Back to Page 2 Land Combat by Tom “WKLINK” Cofield I saw two things that were fairly impressive to me. The first one was the America’s Army booth which looked to have cost the taxpayers at least three M1 tanks to set up. It was that impressive. We got a chance to sit down with the developers and discuss […]
Back to Page 1 The other exciting game I saw was Battle of Britain II from GMX Media. I could really tell that Scott Gentile has really gotten into this game and his enthusiasm has spilled over to many of us here. I honestly was somewhat luke warm towards the title when it was announced. I […]
Back to Page 9 On Thursday I’ll be visiting 10tacle studios to see GT Legends and hopefully some more seat time on GTR with the folks at SimBin. There are also rumors of a hot lap competition at Adrenaline Corp. that’s also using GTR to demonstrate the capabilities of their custom PCs. Hopefully I’ll be ready […]
Back to Page 8 Virtual GT Sim Cockpit (Virtual-E Corporation) Not a game, but a sim cockpit of an entirely higher order. This thing was so awesomely addicting, that guod and I spent the last 90 minutes of the day driving and salivating all over this incredible toy! It was here that our shameless addiction […]
Back to Page 7 Richard Burns Rally (SCi Games) As most of you are aware, Richard Burns Rally is already available in Europe and was SimHQ’s racing sim of the year for 2004. But RBR isn’t a mainstream retail title in the USA — yet. David Clark, Marketing Director at SCi, graciously took time from his busy […]
Back to Page 6 IHRA Drag Racing: Sportsman Edition (Bethesda Softworks) A racing arcade game in development only for PS2 and Xbox and utilizing the Havoc physics engine, IHRA Drag Racing none-the-less sparked our interest in a couple of key areas. The son of a drag racer, I was interested in how Bethesda intended to model the […]
Back to Page 5 Motorsports by Chunx Here’s a short rundown on the motorsports-related products we saw today: VW Golf Racer (Techland) Adam Tutaj, PR & Marketing Director for Techland (developers of Xpand Rally) showed us an early alpha build of VW Golf Racer, a new lite racing simulation for PC and console. With the contract for developing […]
Back to Page 4 Naval Combat by Tom “WKLINK” Cofield I got a chance to get some hands on time with Akella’s highly anticipated (at least by me) PT Boats: Knights of the Sea. Doug literally had to drag me away from the game, basically so he could go play that damned driving simulation he fell […]
Back to Page 3 Ghost Recon 3 One of the more impressive looking titles that I saw was an Xbox 360 demo forGhost Recon 3. Just looking at the graphics of GR3 really impressed me. While I am not a major console fanatic, it had the look and the feel of what could be one of […]
