Why Robin Makes Batman Better There are Apple Stores. So why not Microsoft Stores? It’s a good question. Turns out there is a Microsoft store. Only…it’s at Microsoft HQ, isn’t open to the public and isn’t even a real store.
Gaming on a laptop? It’s hardly ideal. But that’s going off the hardware limitations of 2008! By the distant future, who knows what gaming on a laptop will be like. Might even be like this.
These early screens and concept art trickled out of Lucasarts/Bioware’s steely grasp after their Big Announcement and Kotaku Jedi AJ Glasser uploaded them instantly using a combination of the Force Upload and a fast wifi link.
This concept gallery shows early Jedi/Sith character designs, a nice view of Coruscant that wouldn’t look out of place in Episode 3 and two very similar monsters.
Tai Chiem, an emerging Australian designer has given the concept treatment to the PSP, working up some ideas on an advanced PSP2. I’m a sucker for concept designs so how could we not share his ideas with y’all?
My design is set for the future using emerging technology. Featuring flexible OLED display that can be conveniently rolled out. An electric charge hardens the material. I’ve come up with an alternate method for the action buttons. Instead of pressing a button, you instead use the joystick. So instead of pressing, X O, etc, you push either up down, left, or right.
So would you like this as a PSP2? Or is there something not quite right? I’m sure Tai would be up for some feedback, so show us your own design theories in the comments. I can see a flaw in the joystick button system for games where you need combo presses, but I’m sure we’d all be happy enough to see the UMD go bye-bye. More pics after the jump, or check out Tai’s work here.
From the same guys who brought you the awful “2010″ Wii comes a conceptual pipe-dream a little more…sensible. This unnamed Microsoft product takes a 360, shrinks it to handheld size, adds a Zune to it, smooshes their interfaces together then throws a phone in as well. Just for good measure. Looks nice, looks slim, but whoever thought it’d be a good idea to bring the 360′s despicable d-pad along for the ride needs a short, sharp slap to the teeth.
