E3 Is Approaching
It's that time of the year once again. Time for games and people from the electronic gaming industry to get together for a few days in an orgy of new games, technologies, companies, accessories and PR. It's time for E3.
Yup, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is only a few weeks away, and already more than 1000 (!) game titles have been announced for display at the expo.
This is considering that indie developers and the like will hardly have the money to afford the very steep price for booking a booth.
Among those 1000+ titles, there's only a handful of Danish games and developers. Some of the larger developers such as IO Interactive (Hitman), ITE (Hugo), Deadline (Total Overdose [in production]) and possibly World Simulation Software (formerly MediaMobsters, creators of Gangland).
But there's also a much smaller company that I'll like to point out.
Here's something extremely impressive; two Danish old timers in the game industry have joined forces and created the Melbourne (Australia) based studio Third Wave Games and have in less than a year developed a beautiful Mech-type game called War World from scratch - including the engine!!
Take a look at the screen shots from the homepage of the game - they're looking really good.
Another impressive piece of work that'll be showed off at E3 is called Metronome.
It is developed by Sweden based indie developer GameSport, and is using the extremely impressive commercial indie game engine Reality Engine. Taking advantage of the engine's many graphical abilities, among those a large number of postprocessing features, the game is presented very stylish and with a truly unique look.
Take a look at the screen shots at the games site to see what I mean. Or you can wait until E3.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the new innovative titles at E3 and getting blown away by new technologies and hardware.
How about you?
