Clowns, Capes and Customisations

The Game Developers Conference comes to an end today, it sounded like an amazing show, i wish i had been there. From reading around a few blogs, the Will Wright talk seems like it was a big highlight.

The Logitech GT 5 racing wheel looked awesome. Developed as a joint venture between Logitech and Polyphony Digital. The red dial near the centre of the wheel allows you to change the set-up of your car as your racing around the track. So, for example, you could take off traction control when you want that quick burst of acceleration and flip it back on again for the tight corners. As a fan of Gran Turismo and it's in-depth car set-up options, the wheel seems as though it'll be a perfect fit. Changing your settings on the fly is genius, looks like it'll take a bit of getting used to but after a couple of hours I'm sure it'll be second nature, hopefully.




Lego Batman? Couldn't get enough of Lego Star Wars but is this gonna be different enough to warrant playing it? Probably not, but I'll play it anyway! The Joker and gadgets will maybe make it worth it.

I'd advise anyone who hasn't already to download the XNA application from Xbox Live and check out the games there. "The Dishwasher" in particular is probably gonna stay in my mind for a while. For some reason i can't get "Culture" to load on my 360 which sucks.

On a side note i got an figure of the clown boss from Akira for 0.06p! Bargain!
