Awsome Kameo video

Xboxyde has a nice Kameo gameplay video up that is a good showcase how the final game it most likely to look. The video is huge though, 821.36 MB of light, fluffy goodness. This is shaping up to be quite an impressive title. Know if Rare can show off some Killer Instinct footage (we all know you’re working on it!!), that would be nice too.

Hint on how Zelda on the DS may work

Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma spoke with EGM recently and offered up a pretty ambiguous hint on how the dual DS screens may work in the Nintendo DS’s first Zelda game.

What I I think one of the important elements of the Zelda series has always been that you feel like you’re in the world doing the things that Link is doing and touching the things that Link is touching…This time you’ll be able to use the touch screen and actually touch those items and objects yourself.

Hmmmm. Nope, no idea what he could mean. Some sort of scratch gameplay or something? Will Zelda be forced to playing scratch lottery ticket games to play for his high-maintence princess?

Analyst says teens interest in console gaming on the decline

With all the text messaging those crazy kids do now and days, I’m not surprised to read about the teens interest in console gaming is on the decline. If they (they being the game industry in general i guess) can figure out a way to integrate console games into LiveJournal, I’m sure all problems will be solved.

The students were also surveyed on video game products and other consumer electronics. Results of the survey point out 79 percent of student households have at least one video game platform and 58 percent of students stating that they are occasional game players (playing at least monthly). In addition, 65 percent of student households own Sony’s PS2, 50 percent own Microsoft’s Xbox and 26 percent own Nintendo’s GameCube. GameStop was recognized in the survey as the leading retailer for pre-owned video games with 60 percent market share and 29 percent market share for teen video game purchases. The survey also pointed out that 75 percent of teens say their interest in video games is declining and 78 percent indicated they spent less time playing in 2005.

Pro Evolution 360 may allow 22 players online

Looks like Pro Eveolution Soccer for the Xbox 360 may allow your whole team to be comprised of acutal people, making 22-player games (11 to a team) a reality. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about joing a soccer (aka “footy”) team in real life, getting all sweaty and fit and all that. Just meet your virtual ‘mates for some online play and you’re good to go.

The latest Famitsu has revealed that Shingo “Seabass” Takatsuka, big Konami guy, hopes to bring 22-player online play to PES 360. Whether this will be a feature of installment 1 or not remains to be seen, but it looks possible on the next gen platforms.
