This looks rubbish.

PLEASE NOTE: We’re not being needlessly picky or all cool or anything just because it’s by Sony, but floaty cars that don’t move about on their suspension and stop dead upon contact with walls look very, very, very poor in this day and age.

It has the look of a boring game that hasn’t been done very well, that’s all.

But yes, the cars are very shiny. Well done on spending three years doing that, Polyphony.

That odd game design training thing we got sent the other day is apparently a known offender. It has a “rep” that is in serious need of levelling up.

Here are a few recordings of a Train2Game presentation. They were made by a reader. They are not that visually impressive, it’s mainly an audio-based update unless you really like radiators.

“I had a sales rep from Train2Game actually come round to my house because I was interested in what they were offering. I also recorded most of it as I’d heard before the sales rep came that T2G was a scam”.

“I stuck my findings on youtube so people can decide for themselves if they think I witnessed a scam or sales pitch”.

“And I also made a cut for people that dont have much time and still want to see the funny bits” – Simon.

Shit name. Amazing everything else. Amusement arcade operators might have a reason not to chuck it all in and give up next year.

Merely looking at it quickens the heart. Taken from here. A man called “Alex” emailed us about this last week, saying “My buddy told me that SEGA Racing Classic is actually a remake of the original Daytona USA. It’ll show up at the next AOU expo in early 2010”.

Also from Alex. Daytona USA on the telly in Australia.

EA made its booth babes at TGS wear ill-fitting promotional t-shirts. She’s not wearing much make-up because she’s just sobbed it all off in the toilets.

The poor thing. All she can do is take solace from being allowed to accessorise.

Microsoft opted for visible green bras, which is why it’s doing much better in the territory these days. Photos taken from a frankly disappointing Famitsu booth babe update. This had better just be a Day One teaser set before the men with confidence and proper cameras arrive and start telling them to lick their fingers.

Who signed us up for a jobs mailing list? That’s not funny. It hurts. Do you think it’s easy sitting here on the internet for 16 hours a day watching people boasting about what they’re blowing their disposable income on?

Clicking on the link takes you here, which seems to be a front for getting you to sign up to a training course here. Unless you’re planning on moving to Canada in the next decade, don’t bother.

Do you want it wrapped, or is it OK to leave it in the Amazon packaging?

Your other present is a DVD. Not sure which one yet.

Anja Rubik will yoga you until completion.

She is available for outcalls to your home from November of 2009, for an RRP yet to be confirmed. If it’s less than £40, that’s a very good price for getting 100%-ed by an international model.

Anja is an international model who just so happens to be into yoga. The game’s web site has some low-resolution photos of her in more challenging poses.

We would like to see her demonstrate the “Razzle pile up” with several of her friends.

We are allowed to say all this because it’s for a game.

That’s “The Deepening”. It’s an interactive video thing with presentation like a game, so you modern people feel comfortable with it. You can’t (or at least we can’t) embed the thing, so here’s a link to it and a still image.

“Hey there UK Resistance. I thought you may be interested in Atom.com’s new game, The Deepening. It’s an 8-bit-inspired, playable web comedy short video – think those old “select your own adventure” books, but as a totally interactive video game with multiple endings and paths that the user can control” – Atom.com person.

Sorry everyone, but this is one of those weeks (AKA months, AKA years) where we can’t be bothered to do anything other than upload the first photograph of something about/like SEGA in the inbox.

Hopefully at least some of you might enjoy looking at some girls’ shoes.

“Fairly ashamed, so will make it brief. Dragged to town. Standing awkwardly in ‘Next’ trying not to engage with the burger-munching-Jeremy-Kyle-set-public when I noticed this familiar little fellow. Yes, the photo is bad but a) It’s a phone. What do you expect ? An HTC something-or-other. And b) You try taking photos in the kids department of a crowded shop. People have been killed for less. And no, I don’t know why the whole scene has a pink ‘n’ fuzzy look to it. Maybe it’s the happy gas they pump into these places?” – Morgan.

Suddenly we are ALL FOR the relentless dumbing down of consumer gaming product.

Discovered here, where they report on the small-scale furore that is kicking off over Apple’s refusal to allow TiTS on iTunes.
