Saw this on Mapcore, so I decided to post it here too. The whole
webcast is more than an hour long. I watched the whole thing though.
All of them look immensely interesting - I personally like the Movies
the most, though "the Room" looks cool too. :smile:

So... How does the future of gaming look?

LOL, was about to call you ripping this thread from mapcore when I saw
the topic :biggrin: I only watched the one on the room, which looks really
quite incredible. Would be great to see a game such as Shenmue go along
this route with world interaction, though perhaps with less emphasis on
physics and more about logical interactions with each object.
Graphically it was quite amazing too.

B&W2 looks like it'll knock the pants off the first one.

Didn't they say that "The Room" wasn't a game made for sale, but perhaps a demo or something as such. Taking that there really is no point to it and I would assume it'd get boring after time. However, it is a good example of what can be implimented into a gaming realm. (An action game in which you can create your own weapons, armor, and, possibly, catch phrases. Or a zombie game in which you build your base and fortify ... )

I've been waiting at least a year for the Movies, and Black and White 2 looks good too.

Thanks for the link, I'll have to watch the whole thing.

The Room looks awesome ... most realistic environment I've seen in a game so far.

Sorry. Boring video. Not one person died. And yes, dying an important element for games. And clouds.

Edit: OK, the ants are cool.

Watched the whole thing, really interesting. I would pay for the Room, looks like it has a lot of potential.

I can't seem to get the videos to work. How long do I have to wait for the videos to load?

I didn't have to wait at all as it all streamed instantly, but then I'm
on 2mb adsl :wink: Depends on your connection I guess, its not a bad
quality video and its not exactly short.
