The Major Players of CES 2012: Nokia, Nikon, Razer and More

January 8th, 2012

As always, CES is a big score this year, but it isn't invariably clear what companies and products will make it a big thing. It's not difficult to get lost in all the hustle, bustle and hype, and there’s definitely more than any individual can hope to experience. So we are hoping to ease your stress by sharing what we’ll look forward to at this year’s CES in lovely Vegas. Of course, we'll be there to bring you the latest updates about the electronics you covet.

As usual, the gadgets we’ll seek out have a tendency to be or are related to smartphones, cameras and home-based theatre gear, although not each company will tow along the large guns in every category. Still, there are some great products that we look forward to experiencing and studying about. In a few cases, the world will lay eyes on a number of these poorly kept techniquesimminent products for the first time.

Nokia: The company is expected to show off its latest and greatest Windows Telephone hardware. Though it only exists in the form of rumours and leaks, the 4G Nokia Ace is predicted to put in an appearance, and it could be offered by AT&T and/or T-Mobile. We may also see official Lumia 800 models for the US with added LTE connectivity. We are expecting to see an equal share of Nokia feature/dumb telephones too.

Nikon: The successor to the D3 DSLR, known on the streets as the D4, should debut. Nikon is rather good at keeping its techniques under wraps, so it’s hard to figure out the company’s plans for CES. Regardless of whether we do not see the D4, Nikon should be a massive player this year with a few of the company’s large projects rumored to launch soon.

Fujifilm: The camera community eagerly awaits the arrival of Fujifilm’s mirrorless camera, and the company would be run by fools if it didnt ‘ show off a working prototype at the show. It may launch in the Spring if rumors turn out to be true.

Razer: At the previous CES, the organization's Switchblade concept laptop PC turned heads and made the front page because of its unique and dynamic keyboard. At this year’s CES, the company is expected to show off the Razer Blade gaming laptop computer, a larger device that is built round the technologies developed for the switchblade, and gameplayers around the world continue to anticipate its release since Razer delayed the release until Jan.

Samsung: The successor to the Universe Note’s throne may put in an appearance, and we could also see a US variation of the original Universe Note with added LTE connectivity. We doubt the Galaxy S III will show up, but we hope we're wrong.

LG: The company should show off its latest and greatest smartphones, but , truthfully it’s latest offerings leave us yawning. On the home-based cinema front, LG isn't lagging. The company is also expected to debut its 55-inch, ultra-thin HDTV with an infinite contrast ratio. That is the biggest OLED HDTV ever shown off in public.

Sony Ericsson: This company has several highly-anticipated products in the works for US residents, and CES 2012 is the best time of the year to show off those products to Americans. We would be surprised if the company failed to make a big statement this year.

Nintendo: Though working prototypes of the Wii U have already received exposure to the public, Nintendo will most likely have a few more on display at CES 2012 for enthusiastic gamers to check. We will not learn anything new about it, but we may find out about new games and services that will launch with the console.

Obviously, there’s a lot of stuff at CES 2012 to anticipate. There's no way we can cover it all here, and there’s probably a lot of stuff that will debut to take the show too. We'll keep you updated, so stay tuned.

Are Video Games Creative Anymore?

July 12th, 2010

It is an oft-heard complaint, but it bears repeating for as long as it remains valid: the vast majority of today’s video games are merely not as creative as those made during the Golden Age of Gaming, when a single programmer can become a millionaire due to technical skill and imagination. Compare a title like Pitfall! to any number of today’s “platform scrollers” and it is obvious that aside from vastly improved graphics, modern-day entries in this genre suffer from a very bad case of derivative game play.

How did this happen? How did the industry lose sight of imaginative game play and focus instead on graphics? To be sure, it is inevitable that titles should be so derivative because most of the basics have been covered: there are only so many ways to do a platform scroller or first-person shooter. Isometric views, overhead bird’s eye views – they’ve all been done. There are only so many ways to present the adventure and represent its characters. Fine. But taken as a whole, the catalog of contemporary gaming seems sorely lacking.

This is due to the demands of big business, as corporations spend multiple millions to develop one single title, the stakes are so high that risk-tolerance is low to non-existent. Thankfully, there is a vigorously thriving independent gaming scene, relegated mostly to “puzzlers” and so-called casual gaming titles that are simple enough in concept but can offer many hours of amusement.

Though addictive enough in their own rights, these games can also be easily walked away from, the equivalent of a Microsoft Solitaire. Titles like Crayon, Flower, Osmos, World of Goo, and And Yet It Moves provide mental stimulation in entirely novel ways.

Mobile gaming is another arena for independent creators to dabble in the most imaginative ideas without fear of corporate disproval. Actually, this segment of the gaming market is expected to grow and dominate industry trends in another five to ten years with improved connectivity, promising to usher in a new Golden Age of Gaming.
