Events: LG Perfectly Tuned with Mark Levinson

trojanshark | 21 November, 2008 10:20

 

HWM was recently in Singapore to check out LG's Perfectly Tuned with Mark Levinson. Showcasing sound systems tuned by audiophile and sound guru Mark Levinson, LG opened up their event in high fashion. Although dubbed as the Golden Ear, Mr. Mark Levinson scoffed at his own title and proceeded to give members of the press a taste of truly awesome sound using a mixture of Burwen Bobcat and LG's tuned sound systems. For a more in depth report check it out later in HWM. If you think you've got better 'Golden Ears' then go to the jump below for a chance to win some LG merchandise.

Events: IDF stuff from IDF Taiwan 2008

 IDF Taiwan 2008

The last Intel Developers Forum (IDF) for the year happened in Taiwan with not much new revealed. As usual there was mention of MIDs (although no definite date on when they'll be released), the associated Moorestown PC display, architectural information on the Nehalem (the usual QuickPaths and integrated GPU) and scant news of the Larrabee GPU. We did manage to get shots of some stuff which did catch our eye but if you've seen them at other IDFs this year we wouldn't be surprised. For a more detailed report on our IDF Taiwan trip check it out in the latest issue of HWM.

TGS 2008 Booth Babes (picture intensive!)

FatCatLim | 21 October, 2008 14:06

For people who were disappointed with the recent E3 clampdown on skimpily-dressed booth babes, they could find some solace with the boothbabes at the TGS2008. Most of them were dressed pretty classily, though some dared to show off their midriffs. We weren't able to take pics of all of the booth babes due to lack of time (we were too busy playing the latest game demos and watching game trailers) but we still managed to compile an adequate pictorial collection of the booth babes of the show. 

Much more pictures after the jump! To view a larger size of the image, right-click and select 'View Image' in Firefox.

TGS 2008: KOFXII and KOF2002: Ultimate Match impressions

FatCatLim | 10 October, 2008 07:10



KOFXII Impressions

The 3 new characters revealed for KOFXII at TGS are Iori, Andy, and Raiden. I only tried a bit of Raiden and mostly Iori. Andy not yet. I'll play him more tomorrow.

- Raiden has an alternate costume color that makes him look like he's shirtless. It's almost like an entirely new costume!

- Iori has a new costume. Looks less 80s and more like a trendy Akiba dude, lol.

- Since the ending of KOFXI showed that Iori lost his Orochi powers, this means he can't do his standard uppercut and fireball. Although most of his normals are the same, his specials now consist of slashes similar to Mature. He really plays and feels like a different character.

- Iori's DP is now an upward diagonal slash. Reminds me of another fighting character's move, but I can't remember. Hmm...

- No QCB P X3. It's an entirely new motion. QCB P does a different backward slash. Same goes with QCB K. I can't tell whether he still has his old HCB,F P grab. Dammit, I really need to play more of him tomorrow!

- Iori's super is still the same motion, and attacks look the same. But he ends it with an X-style slash.

- The booth says that the game is 65% complete. It's really a work in progress - Athena's uppercut hitbox is not accurate.


KOF2002: Ultimate Match impressions

SNK Playmore also had KOF2002: Ultimate Match up for free play at the TGS 2008. It's basically the ultimate dream match game that featured all KOF characters from KOF99 to KOF2K2. There's a 'new' character called Nameless, but he's actually not new. Nameless is basically K9999...but with a different sprite. I was thinking who the hell he was and when I played him, I realized that he had all of K9999 moves, lol. But some moves have been given different properties and animation. Just some early quick impressions:

- Nameless standing animation is rather lame. Makes him look quite stiff.

- His uppercuts (DP P) have longer range and different animation.

- QCF P have improved range and different animation.

- QCB K have improved range and...uh, yeah. you get the idea.

- His 1632143 P super now appears as a pillar of reddish fire. Looks and feel like it has shorter range.

- Dwn K is a sweep, while DF K is his slide. His Dwn C is still the same, but I don't think it sweeps anymore.

I will try out more of him tomorrow just to see if he retained his tentacle and shooting supers. SNK says the game is currently 65% complete, but all of the characters were available for play. Maybe they still need to test for bugs - some background music was interrupted when changing rounds. Oh yeah, the monitors they used to demonstrate the game were really horrible - the game colors looked horribly washed out and appeared even more pixelated.
