CES Starts Today!

tell where in game they are viewing and I am sure lots of person would show up to wave for the cameras heheh

 

Next Island isn't actually listed as an exhibitor at CES. I understand they had a presense of some kind however at the pre CES Pepcom Digital Experience last night, though can't find an official listing of exhibitors for that. Pepcom is a media event allowing digital demos to the media assembled for CES.

 

All i've found so far are news announcing that Next Island will debut at Pepcom, all dated January 4.

I really wish someone would fill us in on what's going on :)

 

awesome!
Start clocking in the globals, and have fun everyone! Show CES patrons the fun!

 

Katlean deMonchey reports from (outside) CES on Jan 5

Here is a link to a video of Ms deMonchey reporting from the CES on Jan 5. She talks about the hardware at CES. However at the very end of the video she makes a passing reference to Next Island.

 

CES: Tablets, 3D surge, Next Island, last 30 seconds she talks about NI. Cleverly move seamlessly from the movie Avatar to NI :)
On that note I was on a pepcom hunt with Tenacity and a few others last night, as she showed off NI. She said there where camera crews wandering around taking short shots of the all the exhibits, still looking to see if that hunt got caught on video. After all we all know my ego is going to get even bigger if my avatar makes it on T.V. :)

 

Indeed, nothing more than a passing reference in Great Dane's link, and a few seconds of Avatar game footage with the title "Next Island". But after all, she did say that it's launching on the end of January...

 

Well I have spent most of the day scouring the net looking for Next Island at CES, and aside from a few brief mentions didn't find anything. Does anyone know if there is a scheduled interview for Next Island?

Off topic; I swear to god if I hear one more thing about tablet pc's for the rest of CES I am going to go postal! :)

 

GreyFox, since you've watched all those tablets in the show, have any recommendations? :D

 

Corey they aren't exhibiting at CES ( 2011 CES: Exhibitor Directory? ), they seem to be mostly just 'there', don't know if they did a demo as part of pepcom last night but NI owner David Post's wife is the tv personality Katlean Demonchy behind Nextpert News, and also involved in the PR of NI, so she is there doing her clips and apparently mentioning NI whenever possible. I suspect that is about it really, NI also has Meg who is a admin here who does web blogs and social networking etc for them, so she will probably get NI mentioned a few places as well, but none of this is anywhere near the same thing as exhibiting at CES, which many of us thought they were originally. In a way it is just as well, we know it isn't really ready for that level of PR just yet.

Whatever else is going on, I will be ever so grateful when the NI team becomes more involved with this forum, and interacts and keeps the already existing community informed. All the PR to the trade industry and the public will lead those who bother to do thier homework here to see what is up with the community etc, and so far it has definately felt like we are mostly on our own here and not considered of much importance.

 

Ya they did a demo at pepcom(according to Tenacity).
I think we are at appreciated just a little

******Pulls out Foeripper, kills Narfi, "I told you I was going to go postal!"*********** :)

 

Cool I can't wait for it to be more advertised!! :) Lets hope that the opening day is flawless ;)

 

Found a video with more then 10 seconds of NextIsland on it. About 1:20 in it starts.

"We tried it [*] with Next Island, a new 3D virtual world, where you can create an avatar and time travel to ancient greece. So your goods and services for real money have a blast running around an island paradise. Or tracking through an ice age, you can sign up for free at nextisland dot com"...

*) Playing the videos or games from the newest Intel notebooks on the big TV screens.

Okay, english is not my native language, but that was "fast reporterish", right?

And yes, it was 13 seconds long, spoken without taking a breath... And I don't think, SHE played Next Island herself...

 

Could be. I don't think she can play because she has a stake in NI, if I'm not mistaken she is David Posts wife.

 

Hey, Greyfox! I think you're playing with Tenacity in some of the pictures I snapped at Pepcom!
