News: Spore goes Gold
Electronic Arts NewsElectronic Arts and Maxis have announced that Spore, the most anticipated video game of the year from the creator of The Sims, has gone gold and will be available for the Mac and PC at retailers September 5 in Europe and September 7 in North America and Asia Pacific.

Spore Creatures for Nintendo DS and Spore Origins for mobile phones will also be available globally September 7.

Players who preorder Spore or Spore Galactic Edition from participating retailers will receive a coupon good for $10 off their next purchase of custom merchandise at www.zazzle.com/sporestore . For the ultimate Spore fan, the limited Galactic Edition will contain the 'Making of Spore' DVD, 'How to Build a Better Being' DVD (a 50 minute National Geographic Channel documentary DVD hosted by Spore mastermind, Will Wright), 'The Art of Spore' hardback book, an exclusive Spore poster, and a premium 100-page Galactic Handbook.

"We are so excited to finally get Spore into the hands of fans and players," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "The Maxis studio has had an absolute blast creating Spore, but the fun is just beginning. The most engaging stories are truly the ones people create themselves, and we can't wait to see how players not only craft and explore the Spore universe, but hear what stories they have to tell as a result."

Spore gives players their own personal universe in a box, allowing fans to create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe created by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even spaceships. Players can then seamlessly share their creations with the world via the Sporepedia and explore infinite new galaxies created by other gamers.

News: OpenGL 3.0 Released
General NewsOpenGL 3.0 has finally been released.

The official Khronos Group press release cites "strong industry support to bring significant new functionality to the open, cross-platform standard for 3D graphics acceleration"  However, based upon discussions with several game programmers, this isn't the case among the game developing community.

Khronos Group promised to overhaul the OpenGL API (Application Program Interface, the way programmers interact with OpenGL) but they did not.  A lot of game developers believe that this was done to please CAD developers who don't want break their 10 year old code.

"It should have been called OpenGL 2.3, not 3.0", a game developer who asked to remain anonymous said. "As far as I am concerned, this is just a minor update."

News: Unreal 4 Engine Will Target Next Generation Consoles
UT NewsSpeaking at Gamefest in Seattle, Mike Capps, Epic Games President, revealed that Unreal Engine 4 is currently in development and that its main target is next gen consoles, around 5 years ahead.

"We've got Unreal [Engine] 4 in production right now", he said. "It's going to be in the next console generation - our rough guess is 2012 [to] 2018."

This ties in with recent comments from Epic's founder, Tim Sweeney, who said that "[Unreal Engine] Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft's successor for the Xbox 360, Sony's successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also. PCs will follow after that."

News: DirectX 11 Update
General NewsThe announcement was made during Microsoft's Gamefest 2008 developer conference in Seattle, where Microsoft's Entertainment Business Division CTO Chris Satchell revealed that the new architecture will "break away from purely having a paradigm of pixels, vertices and shaders".

According to Chris Satchel, DirectX 11 "lays the groundwork for the GPU to be used for more than just 3D graphics, so that developers can take advantage of the graphics card as a parallel processor."

Fortunately for us gamers, DirectX 11 is fully compatible with all DirectX 10 and 10.1 hardware currently available in market.

Just like DirectX 10, DirectX 11 won't be available for Windows XP.

News: Rambus Sues Nvidia For Patent Infringement
General NewsRambus has announced it has filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against NVIDIA for patent infringement.

The lawsuit alleges that a number of NVIDIA products with memory controllers for SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR, and GDDR3 SDRAM infringe 17 Rambus patents. The accused products in the complaint include chipsets, graphics processors, media communication processors, multimedia applications processors and other products from at least six NVIDIA product lines. Rambus is seeking injunctive relief barring the infringement, contributory infringement, and inducement to infringe the Rambus patents, as well as monetary damages.

"For more than six years, we have diligently attempted to negotiate a licensing agreement with NVIDIA, but our good faith efforts have been to no avail," said Tom Lavelle, senior vice president and general counsel at Rambus. "Graphics and multimedia products require leading-edge memory performance, and as NVIDIA advances its product portfolio, it infringes more and more of our patents. We are left with no other recourse than litigation to protect and seek fair compensation for the use of our patented inventions. Nevertheless, we hope to continue discussions with NVIDIA to reach a negotiated settlement."

News: EA Unveils Next Year's Massive Lineup
Electronic Arts NewsElectronic Arts today unveiled the games it will feature at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The games, scheduled to ship on multiple platforms in 2008 and early 2009 - include riveting graphics, deep stories and online, socially connected experiences. EA's portfolio covers many genres and platforms for core gamers and new players alike. Veteran players will love the feature innovations in our core titles; new players - women, young people and adults - will have a wide selection of highly accessible games like MySims Kingdom, LITTLEST PET SHOP and FaceBreaker a new arcade-style boxing game from the new EA SPORTS Freestyle brand.

"EA's 2008 lineup is our best ever," said EA CEO John Riccitiello. "This is the year that our core franchises leap forward with stunning innovation and we introduce more brand new games than any other year in our history. Sports lovers will compete in an all new holographic mode in Madden NFL 09 and experience the online evolution of their players in NBA LIVE 09. Action fans will be able to destroy everything in sight in Mercenaries 2 and be scared witless in our new Sci-Fi horror title Dead Space. We've got casual family titles like LITTLEST PET SHOP and genre-defying experiences like Mirror's Edge and Spore. EA has never offered consumers a stronger, more innovative and diverse line up of new games."

"EA's 2008 lineup includes titles that are going to change how people purchase, play and socialize in games," said EA COO John Pleasants. "Spore - scheduled for release in September - can be experienced as a single player or in an online social network that will form its own galaxy. Battlefield Heroes brings comic-styled warfare together with multi-player fun in the first free-to-play First Person Shooter. MySims PC brings multi-player interaction to the universe of MySims. Warhammer Online promises realm-versus-realm gameplay, unique in the scale and consequence thousands of players can experience together in a game. These games are great examples of the many titles that will allow consumers to interact with their friends and with EA's content in new ways that bridge the gap between games and social networks."
