Next generation of the Virtual worlds


I am starting to notice a lot of companies are now jumping on the bandwagon of Warcraft. It is funny to me and it just shows you how much money plays a part in our world. The company Blizzard who makes Warcraft are starting to be pressured by the big publishers for a piece of the pie. I have even noticed how even the NFL is starting to be apart of Second Life and many other media outlets to further make there brand known. I feel the virtual world will still weed out the people who can not keep up with the new 3D technology and keep the fantasy story board alive. We must all continue to be Artist and look ahead and study the trends of our new virtual reality world.

I just found out that Sony has a new 3D world for PS3 gamers.. The guys from Sony says, "It's about community, collaboration and customisation," said Sony's Phil Harrison at the Game Developers Conference, in San Francisco."We want to start a movement called Game 3.0. It's about emerging entertainment, powered by the audience at the centre of the experience." They are trying make this whole new era in Sony seperate from anything else they are doing. It will probably be a lot like Second life, but with Sony's powerful graphic technology.. They will also make it available for PC/MAC computers.
