So if there are any of you out there who, like me, used to play the old Army Men games on your pc or console, there is some good news. An Indie game called Army Men 3 (a sequel to Army Men 2) has been released, it uses the Unreal Development Kit, and IMO the game is awesome!

you could even have planes but you had to build runways and your source of income were these wierd buildings that were spread though out the map that could be captured and they produced gold for you (I think you could have upgraded them for more gold). also regarding the planes they had this fuel system indicated by a green bar and when the green fuel ran out your planes would automatically return.

anyways the biggest unique feature about this mecha game was that you could combine the legs of the robot with a different head and produce completely unique robots, there was a purple faction and I think there were some other colors but purple I remember.
this game is real old, like pre year 2000 old.

I need to know the name of this game!
this is a strategy game about robots that you can customize to your liking!

Weapon customization, several ship classes available, and selectable crew classes make every ship a completely different experience.

The game is played in first person with 4 man crews on each ship in multiple game sizes, included the noob friendly 2v2. I've only been playing the game for two days now but the most interesting feature to me is the voice chat functions, which only allow the crew to talk to their fellow shipmates, and captains to their shipmates and other captains.

Today it was announced that Lucasfilm Ltd. and Disney Interactive are entering into a multi-year, multi-title exclusive licensing agreement with Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) for the creation of new high quality Star Wars games aimed at the core gaming audience and spanning multiple genres for console, PC, mobile, and tablets.Industry leaders and creators of best-in-class blockbuster games, the development and publishing teams at EA will collaborate with the creative teams at Lucasfilm to provide audiences with all-new gaming experiences set in the ever-expanding Star Wars galaxy. As part of the agreement, EA studio teams DICE (Battlefield series) and Visceral (Dead Space series) will join BioWare (Mass Effect series, Star Wars: The Old Republic) in the development of new Star Wars games.
"Our number one objective was to find a developer who could consistently deliver our fans great Star Wars games for years to come," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. "When we looked at the talent of the teams that EA was committing to our games and the quality of their vision for Star Wars, the choice was clear."
While EA studios will develop for the core Star Wars gaming audience, Disney Interactive will focus on delivering new Star Wars games for casual audiences on mobile, social, tablet, and online gaming platforms.
"This agreement demonstrates our commitment to creating quality game experiences that drive the popularity of the Star Wars franchise for years to come," said John Pleasants, co-president of Disney Interactive. "Collaborating with one of the world's premier game developers will allow us to bring an amazing portfolio of new Star Wars titles to fans around the world."
"Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe," said EA Labels President Frank Gibeau. "Three of our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay."

Well we all know at this point that LucasArt has sadly now disappeared and so any chance of the popular great series of BattleFront. And to push the heartache even more there has been a leaked video a pre-alpha of the game which can be seen here.

However, a small indie group has taken up the mighty reins to fulfill this long awaited wish of the 3rd game in the series. The game will be called StarWars: Battlecry and it is being developed on the Crytek 3 engine to which the game will be free for the public.

I recently met a friend of mine who had spent half a year in Kenia working for his company, I am not entirely sure what exactly he did there but it has something to do with the building of a telecomunication network and educating local workers on how to manage that network.
He kept on talking about Africas rising economy since his return and how democratic values were spreading fast, and that in ereas in which thoses values werent spread economic groath through private entrepreneurship is still growing and spreading wealth despite some of the repressive goverments.

I am pritty certain that he romanticised some parts and that the nations on the African continent still have a long road ahed to reach a big middle class.
Never the less, just like China and India have pulled themselves out of being a developing countries, one cannot deny that severl African nations are on the same path aswell.
Most notably South Africa which might even establish itself as a global power.

Of course, as an obvious result of that, the number of consumers for the free market will rise in those regions.
I am certain that alot of people here have already regulary encountered gamers from India, Brazil and other regions which were recently considered to be developing countries.
Games, just like every other product, are developed to fit into a certain market and to meet the customers demand. As such Japanese games are developed to fit the customer base in Japan and Games developed for sale in Europe and North America are developed to fit the demands of the customers there.

I believe that the recent rise in spending power throughout former (or even to some extent still) developing countries will create companies which develope videogames that fit into that distinctive market. I havent yet encountered a game from India, China, the African continent or South America, but I can give an example of one game developed in a country which has only recently opened it`s market: Metro 2033, what made the game partialy so great was that it is completly different from others due to it`s unique Russian charme. I am not sure if the game was developed to meet the expectations of the Russian or Western consumer base, but what I can say with certainty is that it`s different setting and cultural background certainly contributed to the games success.

So I expect that in the near future, we will see games apearing from game developers in India, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Nambia Kenya and maybe even other countries, which will attempt to meet the demands of their local customers. As such I am interested in seeing what impact this will have on the industry.

Will Western developers try to meet customer demands in those emerging economies?
Will the emerging economie attempt to create products for the Western Market?
Will regional games have distinctive characteristics such as the Japanese market which is completly different from the European one.

One of the things I am looking forward to the most is the presentation of those games which are created to meet the demands of markets other than European.
A Indian Call of Duty offshoot in which one plays Indian soldiers during the wars with Pakistan, China and the liberation of Macau? A Total War offshoot set in Warring states China for the Chinese Market? An African Elders scrolls offshoot heavyly influenced by historic nations such as the Songhai Empire or the various Sultanates of North Africa?

I have often heared various people complain that most games are to eurocentrist and hardly have any references from other cultures in them, the main reason for this I believe is simply the free market and how a game set in ancient China, or medieval Africa would be a risk to take for a developer considering the demands of a market.
Jet I guess that this might be about to change considering that a new class of consumers is entering the free market. ]]> Other Games The Germans are coming http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?599484-How-will-emerging-countries-economies-impact-the-gaming-industry Good Grand Strategy games?
