When the Balls Touch They Splode
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE When the Balls Touch They Splode ZEN Studios & Twisted Pixel Announce a Big Science Project: Ms. Splosion Man is Coming to Pinball FX2 LOS ANGELES – July 7, 2011 – ZEN Studios & Twisted Pixel today announced a Ms. Splosion Man themed pinball table is coming to Pinball FX2 on Xbox LIVE® Arcade this summer. Sploding with energy and full of punchy surprises, Ms. Splosion Man pinball represents the passion of two of Xbox Live’s finest independent studios collaborative efforts, and the result is an insane level of fun. “We told the Twisted Pixel crew we were going to break in and steal all the Ms. Splosion Man stuff so we could make a pinball table for them. We put our super stealth ZEN sniper on the project and what can I say, mission accomplished,” boasts Mel Kirk, ZEN Studios Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations. “Twisted Pixel struck back by stealing some Pinball FX2 assets and building a pinball machine in the arcade area of Ms. Splosion Man, due out on July 13th. Set in the crazy labs of Big Science, the latest tests in experimental science have gone all wrong, and Ms. Splosion Man must splode her way through obstacles utilizing the latest in tech gadget innovation in her quest to free Splosion Man from the grips of evil scientists. Featuring plenty of interactive 3D characters and objects pulled directly from the Ms. Splosion Man game, players will complete sets of sploding missions and combos, culminating in a final battle with Mighty Eternal. “Turns out, sploding is a GREAT mechanic on a pinball table and the evil geniuses at ZEN took the idea and ran with it!” explains Twisted Pixel CEO Michael Wilford. -

Yesterday’s marvel is tomorrow’s museum piece. The same applies to games, although it is not just the core game technology that continues to develop at breakneck speed. The human machine interfaces we use to interact with games are becoming more sophisticated and at the same time, easier to use. The Wii Balance Board™ and the MotionPlus™, Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s PlayStation® Eye are all reinventing how we interact with games, and in turn this is playing part in a greater shift. -

Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

ASTRO's PLAYROOM – REVIEW
ASTRO’s PLAYROOM – REVIEW Por Israel Mani Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Estudio desarrollador: Team ASOBI y SIE Japan Studio Plataforma: PS5 Plataforma reseñada: PS5 Fecha de lanzamiento: 12/11/2020 Género: Plataformas 3D y acción Clasificación ESRB: E10+ Siendo Astro’s Playroom la segunda entrega de la serie parecería que no es una gran innovación para lo que pudiera ofrecernos, sin embargo, lo que caracterizó a la primera entrega fue que, aparte de ser un videojuego, nos sirve como herramienta para ver las capacidades de un dispositivo. En el caso de Astro Bot Rescue Mission nos ayuda a comprender las capacidades del PlayStation VR y en esta ocasión, con el reciente lanzamiento de la PS5, Astro’s Playroom busca, a lo largo de la historia de PlayStation, mostrar y transmitirnos el potencial del nuevo control que Sony nos ofrece, el DualSense. PLAZA CPU Apenas iniciando el juego se nos muestra el mundo en el que se desarrolla esta experiencia, que es nada más ni nada menos que en el interior de la consola PS5 en cuatro principales zonas a las que podremos acceder desde la Plaza CPU que es nuestro lobby: JUNGLA GPU, AUTOPISTA SSD, PRADERA DE LA RAM y AGUAS REFRESCANTES. Estos hacen referencia directa al procesamiento gráfico, la unidad de almacenamiento, la memoria RAM y al sistema de enfriamiento, con un diseño de niveles propiamente tematizados acorde al componente en cuestión y a una de las cuatro distintas consolas de sobremesa que ha tenido PlayStation a lo largo de su trayectoria. Existen dos cuartos más dentro de la Plaza CPU: SPEED RUN DE RED y LAB. -
