Gaming in 2010 and Beyond – Where do we go from here?
Tweak Town :: Friday, December 11, 2009
“The other day I took a look back at 2009 and the applications and games that have been released. I was rather unimpressed with what I saw. Out of the games that were released only a couple stood out as having any redeeming value. Even Modern Warfare 2 is diminished by choices made by Infinity Ward regarding the multiplayer side of the game (despite record breaking sales). 2009 was really not much of a good year for gaming.

So why was 2009 such a disappointing year for gaming? Well, one of the biggest reasons was the change of the guard with respects to Direct X. It looks like many developers held their breath while waiting on Microsoft, NVIDIA and AMD to drop the DX11 shoe. Out of those that did release games, most were stuck back on DX9 (a decision made to get the most money out of their titles).”

For right now though I’ve got three game play videos along with the trailer and some concept art that they sent along for me to check out, being the nice guy that I am I thought I’d share with you. I’ll have my own screen shots and videos up for you soon, and then a brief preview or review as well after that, but I want to get a bit farther along in the game first. For now continue on to check out the movies and concept art: “
