News: L.A. Noire tech is "interesting dead end"

David Cage discusses future of mo-cap.

The impressive motion capture tech that fuels Rockstar's forthcoming open-world crime epic L.A. Noire is nothing but an "interesting dead-end" according to Heavy Rain creator David Cage.

Rockstar showcased DepthAnalysis' Motion Scan technology in a clip released late last year, reproduced below. It demonstrated the game's remarkably smooth facial animations, leading many to proclaim that the infamous 'uncanny valley' had finally been bridged.

Quantic Dream boss David Cage, however, isn't so easily impressed. Speaking in an interview with CVG, he complained that the process was both impractical and too pricey.

Nintendo expects 'biggest ever launch' with 3DS

Nintendo expects its 'biggest ever launch' with the new glasses-free 3D Nintendo 3DS this week, with over 140,000 pre-orders already having been made.

The Japanese gaming company expects to sell over 200,000 3DS units in the UK over the forthcoming launch weekend, which would make it the company's 'biggest ever launch' in the UK according to one Nintendo marketing exec.

3DS beats Wii and DS

Nintendo UK's marketing manager James Honeywell told MCV: "It's early days, but we do know that we've had record pre-orders, which suggests it's going to be our biggest-ever launch by some distance ? with Wii we did 106,000 in the opening weekend and with DSi it was 90,000.

"How many people who haven't pre-ordered will go out this weekend and buy one? It's hard to say, but I guess we're looking at a total of comfortably over 150,000, if not more like 200,000."

He added: "Just based on the 140,000, that would already give us our biggest launch. Previously on Wii, we did just over 100,000 and on DSi we did around 90,000."

Honeywell is adamant that Nintendo will sell more 3DS consoles in the launch weekend than the total amount of 3D TVs sold in the UK over the last year.

"So we really are bringing 3D to the masses," added the Nintendo marketing man.

The Nintendo 3DS launches in the UK this Friday, with a number of high street retailers and supermarkets organising special midnight openings to celebrate the launch.

PlayStation emulator pulled from Android Market

A PlayStation game emulator has been pulled from the Android Market, in the week that Sony Ericsson is set to launch the new Xperia Play gaming phone in the UK.

PSX4Droid was given the boot from the Android Market earlier this week, with the new Xperia Play set for an 1 April launch. (No joke!)

Sony has not commented on the removal of the app from the Android Market.

Content violation

However, the developer responsible for Android emulator, PSX4Droid claims that Google's move to remove the PlayStation 1-emulator clearly has had something to do with Sony.

Pocket Gamer claims that the app was removed by Google due to "content violation".

However, another PSX emulator, 'fpse', is still available in the Android Market.

Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play gets a staggered international launch beginning 1 April this week.

Better hope one of them is yours or you might be out of luck

Nintendo Australia today revealed first week sales figures for Pokemon Black and White, but what about the next big thing from Nintendo that’s out this week? Well the Nintendo 3DS isn’t out yet, but according to Nintendo who have told Kotaku AU that the system has more pre-sales (pre-orders) than any other Nintendo device in Australia, even more than the Wii.

We’ll have to wait a week or two to see how well they did, records to be broken? Let’s wait and see.
