Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Milestone announces WRC4 for the Vita

Well, they kindly produced WRC3 (and MotoGP) for the Vita, so there's not much to be lost by moving the next version along too. At least it suggests Milestone saw enough sales to make it worth the effort. Anyway, WRC 4 will offer a new mix of elements, based on community feedback, with high graphical detail and real in-game sound.

The main features are loyalty to the license, an exciting game experience, accessibility for first-time players and a dynamic and competitive online game mode. Among new features of this 2013 edition, players will have the chance to experience new lighting conditions, new weather effects depending on the stage, and a brand new Career Mode to put the player into real driver’s shoes. Realism and immersion are two of the most important pillars of the development, with impressive 3D environments and an HDR system that will grant the best in-game performance.

The game will be out in October, expect some visuals soon.
