New promising technique to reduce distortions in video games

Video games aren’t without distortions and bad image quality. These distortions may include flickering, stretch marks, and blurring. Till today the avoidance of such distortions has been possible as a result of certain computerized and manual techniques whose results are far from satisfactory. At the SIGGRAPH 2008, a prestigious computer graphics conference, Alex Goldberg of UC San Diego’s Jacob’s school of engineering and other colleagues have formulated a new method which offers the possibility of high quality yet lightweight images for 3D video games. This is an improvement over the Perlin noise, which is an established way to improvise the quality of the images. Goldberg’s technique is a much-improvised one and offers the full computational benefit of noise but doesn’t have the undesirable distortion and flickering. This also eliminates the need to store the textures and we all know how huge images take up a lot of space. Goldberg is a young achiever who has astonished his professors and developed this hugely promising technology to ameliorate the quality of the 3D images.

Final Fantasy VII remake for PS3 doubtful

If you have been waiting for Final Fantasy VII remake or sequel for PlayStation 3, you may have to forget about it, at least for a while. There has been no news on that lately and an apparent FFVII announcement was nothing but just some regular FFXIII related stuff. Another big disappoint was the rumor that FFVII is out on Best Buy. So probably, there never is going to be a remake of FFVII. This adventure game has surely enthralled all the players and in fact has helped many non-gamers to enter the field of gaming and having a nice time.

The Street Fighter Alpha remake for PSOne out soon

The Street Fighter Alpha will soon have it’s remake for PSOne released this Thursday at the PlayStation Store. The 1996 release was a major update and the Zero Counter technique was applied to the game so that players could counter enemy attack thanks to their own power gauge. People were expecting the Street Fighter IV and thus have been disappointed with this announcement. The senior marketing manager definitely would have a tough time in announcing the uneventful and boring update, which might diss many gamers off.

Fable II to feature responsible orgies and 'The Romantic'

If the Fable 1 had wowed you with getting in and out of chicken kicking rehab, this time in Fable II things are just going to get hotter. This time, un-epic gameplay of Fable II consists of taking part in an orgy, responsibly in order to get the Swinger achievement. The responsibly part sort of mellows down the tone which otherwise sounds explicit and sexually hardcore. Nevertheless, you would also find stuff like The Bigamist achievement or ‘The Romantic’, which is about taking a villager for a drink. In the Part Animal, 15 villagers would get drunk in 3 minutes. Other features of the game are ‘The Goth’, “Cliff Diver’, ‘The Paragon’ ‘The parent’ etc. We feel there is still much room for improvement as there are other games in the market too, which can provide stiff competition.
