On Saturday October 26 we were attending the first videogames and family meeting PlayFest in the Lubeck99 space in Madrid. The objective was to present to the families the work of four large videogame development studios for Sony machines that heat engines for Christmas of 2013.
The development studies, whose representatives appear in the final image of the article, were Half Molecule, Novarama, U-PLAY Studios Y London Studio And they took the opportunity to show us their latest creations.
The Spanish studio Novarama, led by Daniel Sánchez-Crespo, in the picture with one of his creations, explained that they make video games for children and one of the best things they have is their enormous capacity for imagination and creativity. In the video below you can see the proposals of this company and the rest of the developers.
For example, Tadeo Jones, which I was lucky to try in a Playstation Vita and that gave me a very entertaining experience. And is that the Tadeo Jones franchise reaches the PS Vita portable console. The spanish study U-PLAY Studios is responsible for its development and Jordi Torrás, director of the study, explained that the character of Tadeo Jones is already part of the imaginary of children and in the portable PlayStation system looks great.
Another of the games I tried on PS Vita was Tearaway, a fun and original 3D paper adventure. Representing Tearway was Lluis Danti, English studio animator Half Molecule which indicated that PS Vita technology offers the possibility of interacting taking advantage of the touch screens in front and behind. Tearaway It is a fun and creative world made of 3D paper cutouts in which to create and customize an environment full of challenges and fun.
About Wonderbook, Russel Harding, the creative director of London Studio, taught the characteristics of the two new adventures available: Walking among dinosaurs (for PS3) and The book of Potions (for PS3). The first one was tested by the little girl and she was encouraged to experience the augmented reality looking for dinosaurs among virtual fossils cutting, digging, cleaning and finally completing the figures of these animals. As Harding said and we could see, children not only had fun playing with them but also learned while entertaining and sharing games with other children. The book of Potions, which we could not prove due to the high demand of the game, is created in collaboration with the writer J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) and allows players to become true experts in the art of potions also using augmented reality.
And there it was also, and you can see in the video, the creation Knack, one of the games prepared for PlayStation4 and that exceeded expectations among attendees while we wait for the launch in Spain scheduled for next November 29. The possibilities of the PS4 were surprising combining virtual reality, interactivity with the body, taking advantage of the video game camera and the tactile capabilities of the controller.
So that everyone can meet and try many of these games, it will be held from November 7 to 10 at the IFEMA fairgrounds. Madrid Games Week. The video game fair will be professional on November 7, the rest will be open to everyone. And in December there will be more events because at the Prince Pío Station, from 5 to 8 and from December 13 to 15, you can attend an Invizimals hunt from 10:00 to 20:00 every day.
In the following video you can see all the leisure and entertainment deployment They released for children and seniors who were allowed to try and have fun with all the games. In addition, you can see the four studies mentioned by briefly presenting their products and putting on long teeth because they all look great on Sony machines.
