So having line of sight, you’re going to get fantastic data. It also depends on what kind of mo-cap you’re doing. It’s not ‘turn up and rehearse this character for six weeks’, you jump from character to character to character in a day.

  • If there’s a gaming battleground for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, there’s no bigger arena than the E3 stage. Sony has had a stonking few years singing the praises of its leading PlayStation 4 console, and has managed to bag a number of great exclusive third-party reveals (Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy VII Remake) as well as showing off its own internal big hitters (PlayStation VR and God of War among many others) in recent times. This year could be different though – with its PS4 Pro already out on

  • Here’s my week with the Nokia 3310 presented in diary form. A video version of my experience with the Nokia 3310 will be finished very soon and we’ll place it here once it is. The next major stumbling block was finding out my contacts hadn’t ported over to the Nokia 3310. When I heard from a friend that Moore had died, I tried to access BBC News on the new Nokia 3310. Those on O2 or Three may struggle though, while US and Australian support for the Nokia 3310 is currently unavailable too.

  • Outrageously modded vehicles? The first trailer for this year’s Need for Speed game (subtitled ‘Payback’) is here, and it looks ridiculous.
