Time for a fourth wish-list this time i will go into more detail about one specific thing i like OpenGL to adopt, while clarifying a few things about two oldies, perhaps for openGL 5.0 but who knows.
The slot model
This model should be seen as a vision on how to unify Data and shader management within openGL, especially regarding texturing as a lot of details is actually already implemented on the geometry side, this is mostly written against the new openGL 4 specification but i make no promises of conformity.
There are three main bits to this model, these are data, slots and shaders.
Each part are separate but still connected, especially the first two.

Yea as always they didn’t disappoint, but there where only really 2.5 surprises the first was “Heroes on the move” which is a game that is an algamation of the ratchet & clank, jak & daxter and sly cooper universes.
The second one was twisted metal for ps3, and the last half was portal 2 though it’s not totally a surprise as i predicted it to happen when steam for mac was announced.

As usual Nintendo fails to prove pachter right, it wasn’t a bad press conference just one with few surprises. though on the games side they where spot on which is not at all surprising if you take in consideration all pedigree of tier one IP’s they have that we haven’t seen in a while.
But as i said, few surprises, no WiiHD but other than that the rumors where spot on, basically the entire thing started with a zelda demo, which looks decent i guess though i don’t think it’s as 1 to 1 responsive as they claim, sure if you slash with your wiimote left to right link will do as well, but it’s not like you could carve your initials in the enemies.

Ok so i was worng about greenday and the new xbox and the social features.
But it’s not that far off as the only non exclusives they showed was the new Call of Duty: black ops and MGS Rising and music games are not exclusive by far. add to that the social features that kinect provides and were good on that front as well.

Eagle eyed readers may have noticed a slight change in the design of this page, that’s because i am now using wordpress instead of my own home cooked variant. it’s really in an effort to be able to post more and post efficiently.

Earlier this week I was enjoying the glorious gadget imagery from CES, everything from 3D tv to transparent displays to laptops and tablets, the future really looks sweet.
Games
Wii – a bland year for Nintendo, finally the big behemoth of consoles are turning down in sales, and even though some larger titles may appear like Mario galaxy 2 and other M, I guess we will have to wait for E3 to hear some news.
Also Michael Pachter has predicted that WIIHD will come at the end of the year, it won’t, I seriously think he is overestimating Nintendo’s business sense, they got one or two things right with the Wii mote and Wii fit, but the rest is not that great, ever heard of Wii Speak, well it did kinda get lost a bit there.
So no WiiHD yet,personally I am leaning towards 2013 and a brand new console.

You know the drill now add a bit about the last 10 years, there you go.
Games
Wii – so they dropped their price that’s about it besides another Mario game, they really have to step it up, I mean the price drop was only because the ps3 came within $50 at a time from the price of a wii, and the 360 is already down there with their cheapest package (cheap yea, but useless).
Xbox 360 – Well they had a their halo game (ODST) and teased Halo 4, they call it “Halo Reach” but it has the chief in it so it’s halo 4 even though it’s a prequel.
No gears at E3 but dude huge is working on something, and it’s most likely Gears 3.
Biggest news was natal set for release sometime late next year.
PS3 – killzone 2, R&C: a crack in time, uncharted 2, inFamous, all great, a few delays like God of War 3, GT5 and heavy rain and M.A.G. All of them are great.
Ps3 slim and the price drop was the biggest news though, I got the total amount correct but not why and when, although at the time I doubt that even Sony knew.
And yea E3 Was huge for sony, especially with their new motion controllers. Read more »
