next-gen gaming and um…trailers

im sure this is old news to alot of people…the unveiling of the new xbox 360, playstation 3, and the new nintendo revolution at the e3 going on right now. and when i say “old” i mean more than 24 hours old, because we’re good like that in the 21st century. theyre all powerful yadda yadda. look at me, im so bloody cool i can render a bajillion polygons a second. and so on and so forth. im personally more of a pc gamer (ever since the premature death of the dreamcast), so the revolutionary graphics blah blah blah are nothing new for many. still coo tho, but um…moving on.

three trailers today…one game-related and two movie-related. and since i began with that random gaming prologue, ill start there. theres a new quake 4 trailer out, and it looks kinda coo. its sporting the doom 3 engine, so its got swishy graphics, moody lighting, et al. i havent been that big of a fan of the carmack quakes (as opposed to the romero-led first one), stroggos and all that. doom 3 was a bit of a bore tho, so maybe the quake franchise running the same graphics engine with considerably more killing (and lights, lamps, and you know…the ability to see things) could be fun.

WERE-RABBIT
the trailer for the new wallace and gromit and the curse of the were-rabbit is out, and its looking rockin’. gromit rocks, and wallace is a tool…but thats ok. crossing fingers now for a state-side release…word.

DA VINCI…STUFF
the last trailer today isnt so much a trailer as it is a really brief and uninformative teaser. the new da vinci code teaser trailer is out, and its…yea. there arent any movie clips or anything. just an ominous voice and the mona lisa flying around. but hey, its a teaser, and the movie is a whole year away (to the day almost)…so this is just to whet your palate so to speak.
