Computer and Video Games Developments and Projects
We visited Plantronics and tested their new headsets, the RIG Surround and RIG Flex. The sound is awesome and you have a lot of settings to choose. Plantronics Gaming offers a range of audio peripherals at a range of price points to meet the needs of every gamer, whether they play on mobile, console or PC.
We talked with the guys of Teamspeak about the new features and future plans. The core was completely overworked and the client and server version runs now on Windows (32 and 64bit), Mac OS and Linux. TeamSpeak 3 also includes a robust cross-platform Software Development Kit (SDK). The security level and privacy was improved. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) has been completely redesigned and is now fully customizable.

The biggest booth and stage of the Gamescom with the legendary League of Legends! We watched the final games and met some great people.
We talked with the guys from Epic Games about the new features of the Unreal Engine. The editor is revised and updated. A better functionality and overview allows a better workflow. The system requirements are scaled down and the hardware support is now on a very high level, especially for CPU and GPU Multiprocessing!
Another good news is the integration and support of the most third party plugins, especially the mega texturing in the new graphine version. Check it out here: http://graphinesoftware.com
But the best news is the new licence model, 19€ a month, thats fair.

We met the Unity and Everyplay developers and exchanged about new developments. Version 5 of the Unity engine will come with a new unified shader to make it particularly easy to represent different material surfaces and reflections. The lighting system is to be extended with new real-time functions and Ray-tracing will be possible. Another great news, parts of Unity will be open source! Collaborations with Intel, Google and Samsung will support better integration on Android and Smart TV devices.
