I was looking at the trailers and presentations of the games at Ubidays.
I am just amazed at how these games look awesome.
when I was on Farcry we had all those big promises we wanted to deliver on and it actually came through...by looking at the latest game footage this game is a must buy title... destructions, fire, even the animals look right and hopefully the story holds up. I'll play it for sure.
Shawn White Snowboarding looks amazing. You can see the whole mountain with quality graphics, you can take or create your own paths in the mountains, there will always be people on the mountain with you and your friends to challenge you or snowboard around you and you can even get off the snowboard, snowball fight your friends and take a video of it all ... NICE!
What can I say about PoP ... they're changing the look of the previous games to some cell shading... and it looks good :) The enemies seem weird and the effects from shadows to actual characters will be awesome if the final game looks anything like the current trailers.
anyways lots of games coming out from ubi that actually look fun.

Game Idea # 7: the Painter
Game Idea # 7: The Painter
-------------------------------------------
High Concept:
Take pictures, paint them, get evaluated, print and share with friends...
Platform:
Nintendo DS, PC
Why it needs to be made:
Who has not dream of being a good painter or just better at drawing, painting and show off their talents to friends.
Description:
In this game, you'll be able to take pictures, download them or use the ones provided taken from a library of world famous areas, still pictures of objects,fruits; and then paint a version of them which will give them a new style. The player will be evaluated using some algorithms that will evalute the quality of the copy and give some style points. Players will be able to share with friends online by sending what they did on a website or directly to their friends who will be able to take that copy and make a copy of their own. Players will be able to take pictures with a camera and then import them in the game. There would be a tutorial that will give the basics of painting to new artists.
Final thoughts:
Create paintings that will make other people jealous of your skills and your pictures will never look the same anymore.

Game Idea #6 : The Museum
yes i'm a little late for last week's post, but had a lot of things going on... there it is now ;)
Game Idea #6 : The Museum
-------------------------------------------
High Concept:
This game is about visiting a museum where the main displays would be famous paintings and players will be able to enter the universe of these paintings and play a game in that universe. Those paintings would be taken from the most famous painters and we could get DLC with a different set of paintings or different painters. Meet other people and teachers who would tell you about the paintings.
Platform:
any consoles
Why it needs to be made:
This game would be a great "art show" for those people who never really looked at famous paintings or never had the chance to see and know why those are so special, they will learn something new for sure and will be able to play a game in a lot of different settings depending of this weeks series of painting. This game would celebrate many different styles of art styles for everyone to enjoy. Plus it will be a way for people to interact in a setting/lobby where they can discuss something new and get more information about these art pieces.
Description:
The player would enter the museum in which it would be kind of a lobby for players and art teachers to interact with each others and talk about those paintings if they want to...players could play unconnected without all those other players, but the teachers would always be available to tell them about the paintings if the players ask for it. So players would walk around the different levels of the museum including different art styles and from these levels they will be able to enjoy the paintings. The other main goal of the game is the games themselves in the paintings... these would not just be "something more" they are the other half of the game and i'd say more about the games themselves. So players would interact with the painting and would be grabbed by the painting and brought into its universe. There will be different types of games like mini-games, more artistic games, shooters, casual games, etc... they would all be a different style since it all comes down to the paintings themselves. As an example, one game inside the "Mona Lisa" could be a painting game where players would have to change the paintings to what they want this famous painting to be...and it would stay like that until someone else would change it, for example.
Final thoughts:
Learn, interact with players and art teachers, PLAY unique games and DLC to change the different paintings and collections available.

Sharkwater : the documentary
This is a MUST see documentary about sharks... I mean even if you think you dont like sharks... you will after this movie.
Its a documentary, but it could be viewed as a true story movie based on Rob Stewart's experience with the sharks and trying to protect them.
It's an excellent story filled with awesome underwater footage taken from the Galapagos, Costa rica, Guatamala's shores; with action including gun fights, boat fights and a great personnal story trying to rescue sharks and defeat the black market.
Everyone should see this movie and your view of sharks will change forever ... without sharks your life will truly be changed forever and so is our planet's future!

Game Idea #5 : Acrobatic airplane battles
Game Idea #5 : Acrobatic airplane battles
-------------------------------------------
High Concept:
In this game you control an airplane and you need to do some acrobatics with it and beat the score of your opponent (online or same screen). You'll be able to get some score based on the different types of acrobatics you are doing (loops, free falls, etc...), the difficulty of the acrobatics, and the closenest to obstacles you get to. The game will be a versus game and your highscore on every level will be displayed on a highscore board for everyone to see.
Platform:
XBLA, PSN
Why it needs to be made:
I used to play Triple Action on the Intellivision system with my cousin and we weren't playing the real shooting the opponent aircraft, but we were just doing acrobatics and trying not to crash on the ground or on each other. We had so much fun every time, but that wasn't the real goal of the game. Playing an acrobatic aircraft will be thrilling, fun and really different than ordinary airplane simulators where you need to get from point A to point B ...
Description:
This game should be a 2D side scrolling game that includes some 3D obstacles to increase the level of difficulty and increase scoring opportunities. Every level will have a different realistic 2D background from different cities or areas such as jungles where we could have different type of flying experience. Online play and versus on the same screen will be the major aspect of the game where you'll need to score points based on your acrobatics as described above. You'll be able to view your score online and show everyone your best acrobatic moment which should be able to be saved and sent online for everyone to see. The fact that your opponent on-screen can potentially stop you from getting highscore by crashing into you is another danger of the game.
We could have different airplanes or helicopters that would behave differently and hence offer a different experience for players who have become accustomed to other aircrafts.
Final thoughts:
This would be a great 1vs1 game in which players would control for one of the first time an airplane where the goal is to do crazy stuff with. Playing a game to show off skills is usually something players are proud of and this game will offer just that to everyone who can master the art of acrobatic airshows!

Game Idea #4: Gino, the barber
Game Idea #4: Gino, the barber
-------------------------------------------
High Concept:
You play as Gino a junior barber who wants to become well known and be the barber for artists in hollywood. You start with nothing but a basement office and a razor. You need to build up your clients list, create different styles and live up to your dreams.
Platform:
Wii
Why it needs to be made:
Using the Wii to be a precise tool to use as a razor will make the player feel like he needs to be careful, creative and be the best as a barber.
Description:
In this game you will have to shave people and be sure not to cut them in any way to make your client happy and appreciate your skills. You'll get money from those clients with which you'll be able to buy furniture, a bigger place to do business, buy some catalogues of different haircut styles, better perfume for your clients, better advertisement to get more clients. Take care of your clients as best you can by shaving them, cut their hair, perfume them and make them just perfect for a special occasion. Manage your shop, create new haircuts and facial styles to use on your Miis, clients (in the game), people will rate you online with your new creations and be successful until you reach the top in hollywood and become the barber of the stars!
Final thoughts:
Players will experiement being a barber and use the Wii remote in new ways. In the wake of casual games for everyone and the doctors games out there, this game will be a skill game to become good at and creative people will like it as well as management games players.
