Game designer Fumito Ueda has tweeted a nixed ending that never made it to The Shadow of the Colossus. This is it! Ueda storyboards his games by hand. Shame he didn’t post the image at a larger resolution—not simply because I want to see how different this ending it, but rather, I’d like to look…

For years, gamers have developed feelings for characters that don’t exist in the traditionally tangible world. They might look real, but the characters are a composition of art and reality. They are virtual. But what if a virtual person was passed off as real? Or what if a real person was thought to be virtual?…

Earlier this Spring, a real-time technical demo for Trinigy’s Vision Game Engine showed off what kind of texturing and lighting the then-codenamed NGP could render.
