You don’t have to imagine for long because this team from Spain is near finished and the buzz in incredible. Teaser after teaser the team has been hard at work creating their own sprites for the game. Every fighting game possibly imaginable was created, drawn by hand, and programmed by these to programmers; Ahruon and Orkimides. Every beloved geek character will be on this game. KOS-MOS, Ivy, Cloud, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Tecmo, X-Men etc.

This game is supposed to be better than Super Smash Bros. because, it has the characters from Super Smash and every fighting game. Take a look at the latest teaser.

Technology Used By SXSW 2008

March

In this picture of this computer, there is where SXSWi is operating allowing everyone to have an opportunity to actually be up to date with any and every article being written on the event. By the computer there are also a pair of headphones that allow all of the convention goers to preview some of the many artists that were performing. At South by Southwest (SXSW) this year they have made it a point to be a revolutionary convention not only in artistic culture but in all technological advances. SXSW is being fed live to the public through more than one outlet. With that little information I am sure you realize that SXSW articles and reporting are going through twitter that can also be viewed on the SXSW computer.

Video is a major element in SXSW this year. A new video networking application called Kyte is allowing to send recorded or even live video to be posted on the web. Many recording artists are using this application to “break the wall between fan and artist”. The most noted recording artist using this is rapper 50 cent how constantly sends new video for his public to comment on. In regards to SXSW, Kyte is allowing convention goers to actually send there recorded or live video to be viewed on large plasmas set up throughout the convention. The hardware of choice to recording on is a mobile phone. With a data plan it is very possible to send live video. With an email or sms plan anyone can send the video over the Kyte website the very second it is recorded.

The phone has to be one of the major focal points in the festival. Regardless of new applications, SXSW has created a mobile site SXSW.mobi to allow everyone to get schedules, mp3’s, videos, and more. But also if you sent a text-message you can find out the 5 w’s of any aspect of the whole convention.

If you purchased a SXSW interactive pass then Microsoft is gave you a free trial version of the newly released Microsoft Silverlight. This was given as one of many gifts in the SXSW Big Bag. Microsoft created a lounge with a large plasma allowing all convention goers to play some Guitar Hero 3.

March

GameTrailers unleashed the “Arkham” trailer for LEGO Batman, showing off the game’s cast of villains. The Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin are a few of the baddies who will be giving Batman and Robin a headache when the game releases on multiple consoles this September.

If LEGO Star Wars is any indication, this game should be some good mindless fun that’s perfect to play alone or with the kids/significant other.


‘Battlefield Heroes’ Debut Trailer

29

February

The first trailer for the computer game Battlefield Heroes is now online. If you haven’t heard of it, Heroes is a First Person Shooter that’s a massive departure from the series thanks to its cartoonish art style. Oh yeah, it’s free too.

Electronic Arts hopes these changes will open the hardcore series up to the masses, and with the free price tag and supposedly low system requirements there’s no excuse not to check this one out. Battlefield Heroes will be released in the Summer of 2008 for the PC.
