Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, 17 Screenshots



Here are seventeen AMAZING looking screenshots from Witcher 2; this game seriously look like it could very well have the best graphics in any game that I've ever seen. Crysis looks nice... but this game definitely beats that easily! The designers of this game paid a lot of attention to detail when making the environments.

Project Cafe, Wii successor, Designs



IGN asked for people to make their own ideas of what the Wii 2 (Wii's successor, codenamed: Project Café) will look like. There are rumors and speculation circulating everywhere and Nintendo has announced that the console will be revealed at E3.

There were quite a few cool designs that IGN revealed from its users, even if one of them does kind of look like a VCR...

There are far more designs at IGN, but this one to the left is my favorite. It may look like a VCR, like I said, but it still looks awesome! IT has four controller ports, which use USB, and the system kind of reminds me of the Nintendo and Super Nintendo consoles...

Anyway, I really hope it doesn't have the name that this person gave it... Nintendo BEEM; that would be such a strange name... Most people believe it's going to be called the Nintendo Stream, so far - this is because of the cool way it streams 1080p video to each of the four controllers, simultaneously. How is this useful, you ask? Well, if you are playing a four-player split-screen game, you don't want the others to cheat by looking at your screen; so, you can simply look at your controller without anyone being able to spy on you on the same screen as theirs! And, you get your own screen instead of having to share it...

Plus, 1080p is a really high resolution, meaning this console is very powerful. The 360 and PS3 are both capable of 720p, 1080i and 1080p - however, most games on these consoles usually only make the effort of using 720p, even though it's a far smaller resolution. If this console can stream four 1080p videos at the same time, it has to be very, very powerful...

Nintendo's next-gen console 'called Stream'



Nintendo's next-gen console is very likely going to be called Stream. (IGN made a joke of - let's just hope its not called the Wii Stream... Eww!) Anyway, I'm sure people will still make that joke, even if it's just called Stream. People will have a Wii and then a Stream...

In all honesty, I don't think IGN's concept of the controller is right. I think that it will be more like a tablet (like the Ipad) than a controller. It probably won't have buttons, but who knows. I just think that it would be freaking huge if it had all those buttons around a six-inch screen...
Nonetheless, this new name is because of the way the console will stream to four different controllers - 1080p videos right on the controllers themselves. These controllers will be touchscreen tablet controllers and probably will be 6-inch screens.

The hardware in this new system has to be powerful to put out four different 1080p videos at the same time (like running four different games at the same time!). So it, of course, is far more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3!

This game system will also have easy portability from the 360 and PC, so that means we may see a lot of games be on only PC, 360 and Stream, soon; this will leave Sony in the dark, like their PSN outage did to use PS3 users...

Nintendo, Wii Successor Console, Will Arrive when it is announced



The Wii Successor, Nintendo's next gen console, has been accidentally confirmed, it seems. Shigeru Miyamoto was asked about the new next gen console; he said that the console 'will arrive when it is announced.' He seems to have accidentally confirmed the console, but we already knew about it anyway, so who cares.

The new next gen console will have an awesome controller; the controller will have an HD screen on it and be shaped kind of like a PSP. This will allow for split screen games to give each player a 1080p view of only their split of the screen, instead of everyone just looking at four small screens on one television.

I can't wait until the next console comes out, and I hope all of those rumors about the controller are true! This would make it far better than those terrible motion controlled systems, like the PS3, Wii and 360... They are all embracing too much of these new types of controls, I think. However, the new console will be backwards compatible with all Wii and GameCube games, according to rumor. Also, it will have better hardware than the PS3 or 360.

Wii 2, Rockstar designing games for the next-gen console

Nintendo is ready to announce their next console, codenamed Project Cafe, within about a month or two; it is rumored that they will reveal it at E3. This will probably take the biggest spotlight at E3, because of it being the first of the next-gen consoles. It will have more powerful hardware than the Xbox 360, according to sources. Now, Rockstar is rumored to be at work on games for the new next-gen console!

I really want to try this thing out; they said it's going to be like an Ipad, but with amazing graphics. This could easily beat the Ipad in sales, if it's true; the console would probably be cheaper, and most of all it would be far better than an Ipad. If Rockstar is on board with a console like this, then there is no question about how amazing it really is going to be!

So, I can't wait to see the reveal of the new console. I'll be waiting eagerly for any news that I can find our hear about the new console coming from Nintendo, soon; I also can't wait to see what games Rockstar might be making for the awesome new console.

Project Cafe, Nintendo's new console coming soon



Project Cafe, sometimes called Wii 2, is Nintendo's codename for their new console that will be revealed soon. It is likely that they'll reveal it at E3 or sometime in late May. Nintendo's new controller for the console seems to be something different, like they always try to do. This time it is a controller that has an HD screen on it.

The picture above is a concept of the controller from IGN. It looks very interesting. I hope it looks a little better than this, but it still looks awesome. This isn't the real concept from Nintendo, since the console isn't announced, yet; however, this is an imaginative version from IGN dissecting the rumors about the new console's controller.
