PlayStation 4 (PS4) .. XBOX 720 Race to Next Generation

.
Let me ask you a Question : What do you expect from your Gaming Industry in near future ??? 

Most of your answers point towards Games which define Next-Generation as well as Consoles which defy our present (Existing) Models..

Here the ' Consoles ' refers to 3 main brain-childs of the gaming industry ... Wii U , PS4 , XBOX 720
 Since Wii-U has been released before , let's sideline it, gaining our focus on 2 consoles which fight for survival in the industry.........

Ever the release of PS3 in year 2006. There was talks regarding their future functionalities and also want for next console with pushes current limits miles from present standards. Sony allotting enormous resources towards R&D sections as well as Microsoft introducing multiple hands on features hinting about their next development cycle..

Hitman Absolute Stun


At last , Hitman is Back.....

For a series which primarily focus on mindless action , sabotaging the place from peace to piece ..
Hitman Absolution , the latest addition to the series offers more of a brain work to the player than running into streets with a gun like a maniac.......



Hitman Absolution Game Cover
 
Hitman defines the stealth concept with a bang, the beauty of passing through highly guarded zones without being noticed is elevated to high levels... It provides plenty of pathways (strategies) to execute a kill .... and experiments we can perform for kill is just awesome...


Stealth mechanism has been improved a lot

 It Nails the Core Concept of Stealth Game Play But ... Still Hitman lacks the expertise in Story and Character departments which may sometimes appeals to us as Unlikable ....

Super "Movie" Heros ... Sloppy "Game" Heros





Let's take a guess of how many superheros we have come across till now,  pick your names Superman, Spiderman, Batman, X-Men, Wonder woman, Antman, Ironman, Thor, Hulk ....... the list goes like a women's makeup kit (Just Kidding !). The list is endless ..........


Avengers
Justice League


Taking into account of their roles in film industry, the above hero's have produced huge chunk of money and are part of multiple franchises which span over 10 - 20 years. They have placed themselves in a solid position in the movie industry both collectively as well as independently showing their popularity and power.





 According to reports of BoxOfficeMojo ,The net worth of superhero movies from the year 1978 count up to 9  billion dollars where each film has a contribution of about 100 million to its credit, which is definitely a number to tease upon.

This list is most likely to increase in the coming years which boast itself with and sequels of current franchises to increase their worth as well as new franchises trying to hold their feet in the industry.





But these hero's does not add up to their status as far as gaming industry is considered, though they have proved their presence in movies but still they are yet to prove themselves in games. Most of the superhero games focus their attention only on few heros leaving out others as they were. Even top grossing heros in movies are yet to show their faces in games.

Question is  ' Why there is so much difference even though they are same ? '

They must avoid infected, scavengers and other survivors who are always a threat to them. In addition to this, they are also pursued by military for unknown reasons.  


DEVELOPMENT

The game comes from my favorite studio "Naughty Dog" , the creators of cult hit .. THE UNCHARTED
Joel

The studio also teased about it during the opening scene of Uncharted 3 where a newspaper cutting headlines about an "unknown fungus spreads while scientists are baffled about its behaviour." 

The game later was officially announced by the team and a 17 minute game-play trailer was released during E3 conference showing Ellie and Joel fighting their way against other survivors to protect themselves.

Though the game is of horror survival genre, Naughty dog confirms that it wont be type caste as typical zombie movie but , it puts it focus on father - daughter relationship.It also prances upon emotions and also ordeal they undergo to save themselves from the ever decaying city.
  
The game is now officially confirmed to be released on " May 7, 2013 ", exclusively for PS3

MARKED FOR DEATH - MY FIRST GAMESCRIPT


Let me start my blog about an interesting fact in our life....

Basically our life is completely made of questions .. Take an example..

After we wake up , we start the day with a question " where is my coffee ? "

Next " Where is my breakfast ? "

It goes on and on and on till the night .. as it has happened we also end the day with a question

"what i am supposed to do tomorrow ? "

Lets us analyze our life .. our life is made of basically four questions that comes from us as well as comes to us ... They always take a form of  " How? , What ? , Where ? , When ? "

A deeper dig points us to the most basic question that pushes our life forward a leaf caught in the wind is that
"What happens ??? "

This is me

Hi to EveryOne ...

This is me AB typing my post pursuing my career to enter into gaming industry to become a game designer...
To be honest i was not keen on looking at the lives of people who created games i played all time..

I used to grab my pc and play on and on and on with a hunger to complete the game and look forward for next games or same game sequels with not so much interest on persons who have created a masterpiece for me..

But, true to the saying 'YOU WILL BECOME AS THE PERSON WHOM YOU ALWAYS THINK '

A day came as usual for me but with a different opinion about my career.. i stumbled upon the name of creative heads at the credits of my favorite game 'yakuza' which intrigued me to dig deeper into the pathway of gaming industry..

Slowly the taste of game flowed through my blood till my head upon seeing the wonders the designers would make just from a piece of thought..

And Now,

Here i am at the bottom of gaming ladder active as a ever to steady me to climb the ladder with my passion and compassion to place myself in the field which provides a way of life to many aspirants as me..

Until next time ...  :-)
