What role does realism play in videogames I ask myself. Is this image more interesting? Sometimes.. however, what if a "detailed" hand with 5 fingers is catching a bottle but the fingers pass right through it? Is this still realistic? Rather than to show each meticulous and tiny detail of a finger, it is more important to make the end action look more credible by working on the movement and functionality of the arms and the hand in relation to the object. -- Shigeru Miyamoto

Points of Interest – 5/10/07

  1. Thanks to Wolf for this one.

    Open mouth, insert foot.

    George Lucas has basically come out and said Spider-man 3 is “silly,” and that “there’s not much there.”

    Curious, given that’s noted as the one movie this summer that his company, Industrial Light and Magic, didn’t do the special effects for.

    “People thought ‘Star Wars’ was silly, too,” he added, with a wink. “But it wasn’t.”

    Three words to that:

    Sure, that wasn’t directly his doing, but it’s certainly made things seem a little less serious. Besides which, this is the man who made Jarjar Binks.

    “Mr. Pot, a Mr. Kettle is on the line. Seems he would like words with you.”

    But, whatever. Maybe he’s jealous, maybe he’s just being ironic, or maybe his neck is still making his decisions for him, we may never know.

  2. Ellis is really on the ball lately. Come on, man, don’t you have a movie to be writing?

    In all seriousness, though, it’s cool that he’s taking this time to address matters pertaining to Dracula’s Curse, such as why he’s making it a trilogy.

  3. Press the Buttons takes a glance back at one of the more interesting points in Mario’s Japanese resume’, All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.

    A radio contest prize, it was made by Nintendo for the Japanese radio station All Night Nippon, and featured levels from Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2/The Lost Levels, and even the arcade Super Mario Bros., using graphics from their SMB2, but featuring Goombas and Piranha Plants replaced by their hosts, and Mushroom Retainers and I think even the Princess replaced by Japanese pop stars.

  4. Next Generation looks at Nintendo, with Reggie Fils-Aime tackling the technical divide, while George Harrison tells how Nintendo learned to chill out, and their approach to marketing.
  5. Games Radar’s “Week of Hate,” Day 3: idiots caught on tape.

    “PS Triple?” Yeah. Yeah, you so bad…

  6. Game|Life’s Japan adventure continues, with goodies from Akihabara.

    I really need to get that Balloon Fight game…

  7. Hey! It’s the anniversary of E3 2006!

    Do you remember where you were?
