It’s not surprising that with all attention HD video-capable DSLRs have been getting, companies like Canon and Panasonic have enjoyed a surge of popularity of their HD-DSLR/HD-EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) cameras. Now, they’ve also announced that they are planning on stuffing those gorgeous APS-C and 4/3s sensors into their next-gen camcorders. But they’re still much in development and won’t be in the market until 2011 at the earliest. In the meantime, Sony has jumped into the fray and has them done one better.

A few weeks ago we posted about our discovery on Rogers website, in the list of compatible devices for the Rogers on Demand Mobile application, confirmation of the Rogers Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and Mini pro. Smart people that we are, we reached out to Rogers to see if they would confirm, finally after a few months of rumours, that they would be carrying these phones. Of course, instead of confirming, all we got was a ‘no comment’, and the offending page was promptly changed to erase all trace…

Even though you may have seen live blogs of the major keynotes from E3 this year, you may have missed some of the details, or even the nuance of having something told to you second hand. Luckily most of those keynotes can still be seen online. Now you can play the Sony and Microsoft keynotes side by side and decide who looks goofier, someone using Kinect, or someone using Move. In order of appearence: Microsoft – Electronic Arts – Ubisoft Nintendo – Sony – Kinect

PS3 E3 2010 keynote highlights

The Sony keynote at E3 2010 stood in stark contrast to Microsoft’s and in some ways it’s like a mirror universe version. Which console wore the goatee this year is entirely dependent upon your fanboy predilections. Why is that? In the past, Microsoft more than Sony caught a lot of heat for paying for exclusive content on cross-platform titles, though that’s their prerogative. This year was Sony’s time to shine with additional content from titles like Medal of Honor, Dead Space 2 (including compatibility with the Move – more on…

Portal 2 E3 trailer

June 15, 2010 Doug Groves E3, E3 2010, Gabe Newell, Portal 2, PS3, Sony, Valve1 Comment

Portal 2, the oft-teased and well-ARGed sequel to the sleeper hit from Valve, finally got a real teaser trailer. It’s not much on details, but does feature the ever wry GladOS giving the player a welcome back greeting in her own special way. It did make it’s premiere at the Sony keynote, suggesting that maybe there’s a bit of a thaw between Gabe Newell and the PS3… we’ll be waiting for some time though, as Portal 2 is looking at a 2011 ship date.

Yesterday at a launch event, we had a chance to go hands on with both MotorStorm Pacific Rift and…

Even though neither Sony Ericsson, nor Rogers have officially announced that either of these phones will be coming to Canada, it has been rumoured for a while that they would. Now we have confirmation – on the Rogers on Demand…

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood details emerge

May 13, 2010May 13, 2010 Doug Groves Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Brotherhood, Microsoft, PC gaming, PS3, Sony, Ubisoft, Xbox 3600 comment

I know I wasn’t the only one at rgbFilter who unsurprised, but still a little frustrated at the cliffhanger ending to Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II. Well, Ubi has come out with some news about the follow-up, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. The game continues Ezio’s story as a full-fledged Assassin, focusing on fighting the corruption in Rome, around beginning of the 16th century… so no, not THAT corruption… Besides continuing Ezio’s story, the game will introduce a new multiplayer component. Although the details are scarce, players will be able help the Assassins…

Rockstar releases Red Dead Redemption launch trailer

The more I see of this game, the more I can’t wait to play it! While there have been many attempts before to create a ‘Western’ themed game, none of them have pulled it off successfully, however this game, a ‘Grand Theft Auto in the Old West’, looks like it could change that. Early impressions of the game posted today at Kotaku are good, and it looks like this game will be a must buy for 360 and PS3 owners. Hopefully, like Rockstar San Diego’s other franchise Midnight Club, there…

On Monday night, at the Revival bar in Toronto, Rogers and Sony Ericsson held and launch party for the new Xperia X10 Android handset. We were there to cover the event, and we will be posting some exclusive interviews with the President of Sony Ericsson US, Anderson Teixeira, and Raj Doshi, Rogers VP of Mobile Product Management.
