Somebody has been digging around in the source code for Max Payne 3 and found a list that looks suspiciously GTA-esque. Faggio, Burrito, Reefer, Infernus, Patriot - sound familiar?

Hudson Closes March 1

Posted Jan 18, 2012 at 5:00PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: bomberman, bonk, Hudson, Konami, mario party

Konami has confirmed that Hudson, the studio behind Bomberman, will shutter its doors this spring.

Hudson is one of the most recognizable developers in the gaming world, responsible for popular games like Bomberman, Mario Party and Bonk. Sadly, Hudson’s reign over fun comes to an end March 1, just over a year after the studio was acquired by Konami Digital Entertainment.

While Konami had originally signaled its intent to keep the studio open and harness its experience in the mobile and social gaming markets, it appears that someone in the company must have had a change of heart. As of March 1, Hudson and all of its properties will be absorbed into the Konami machine – there’s no word on whether the company intends to continue with Hudson’s franchises.

It’s a dark day for fans of simple, fun and cute games – a genre of which Hudson was one of the masters. So pour a drink out for Hudson in March, and fire up some Bomberman to wish them a fond farewell.

Do you think Konami will revive any of Hudson’s franchises?

Scribblenauts Developer Dropping New iOS Game

Posted Jan 11, 2012 at 2:52PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: 5th cell, angry birds, robot unicorn attack, run roo run, scribblenauts

5th Cell is prepping a brand new platformer, set for release this Thursday.

5th Cell recently brought its Nintendo DS hit, Scribblenauts, to Apple’s iOS software. The game was a smashing success, and even managed to topple Angry Birds from the top software slot for a couple of weeks. With performance like that, it’s no wonder that the development company is targeting their newest game, Run Roo Run, directly at the iOS market.

As you can see, Run Roo Run operates in much the same way as Robot Unicorn attack - your character automatically runs across the screen, and you have to collect goodies and avoid hazards as you go. The one major difference is that in lieu of scrolling across an infinite screen, your auto-running will be limited to one screen length. 5th Cell dubs this setup “microplatforming.”

You can expect to find a whopping 420 levels on launch day, with increasingly complex and difficult problems. Plus, you’ll unlock “extreme” versions of every level as you go, giving you a total of 840 levels to play. 5th Cell has promised 10 new levels every week, free of charge.

Not too shabby for mobile gamers, eh? Watch for Run Roo Run on the iTunes Store tomorrow, January 12.

Infinity Blade Series has Made $30 Million

Posted Jan 5, 2012 at 2:09PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: Epic Games, infinity blade, ipad, iphone

The success of Epic Games’ iOS slasher shows what can happen if studios spend time creating credible, high quality mobile titles.

We hear a lot of talk about how mobile gaming is the bold future of the industry, but most of the mobile games that actually come out are nothing more than throwaways. Sure, there are a few one-off titles, but mobile developers for the most part aren’t pushing any boundaries.

Epic Games bucked this trend by investing in a top-tier, near-AAA title for iOS devices, one that runs on the Unreal Engine. Infinity Blade is by far the most advanced mobile game we’ve seen developed specifically for the platform, and it looks like Epic’s boldness paid off big.

To date, both games in the franchise have grossed a combined $30 million. Broken down, that’s $23 million from the first game, $5 million for the second, and $2 million for the soundtrack and novel. Epic, in announcing the figures, also stated that they have plans for future iOS games – here’s hoping we’ll continue to see high quality content on our iPhones and iPads.

Do you think these figures will inspire more developers to look at mobile gaming as a place for deep gaming experiences?

Grand Theft Auto III Now Available on Your iPad

Posted Dec 15, 2011 at 4:34PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: grand theft auto iii, ipad 2, iphone 4, Rockstar Games

The 10-year anniversary edition of one of the most beloved games of all times hits iOS devices today.

Love Grand Theft Auto III but can’t be bothered to pull out your PS2 or backwards-compatible PS3? Perhaps you want to steal cars and murder prostitutes at a local coffee shop or while waiting for a holiday flight? If that sound like you, then Rockstar Games’ 10-year anniversary edition of GTA III is exactly what you need, and it’s available now on the iTunes store.

Don’t have an iPad? No worries - according to the iTunes entry, the game is supported on “iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2.” I’m not sure how enjoyable GTA III would be on an iPhone, but I can certainly see potential for the iPad version.

The game has been optimized for a touchscreen interface, received a slight makeover with HD textures and contains all of the classic Grand Theft Auto action you’ve come to expect from the franchise. This is basically the game that started it all, so if you haven’t played it you should definitely give it a look. The mobile version is raking in near-perfect review scores – it’s worth the $4.99.

What is your favorite Grand Theft Auto III memory? Are you going to pick up the iOS version?

Take 2 Boss Criticizes Yearly Schedule Releases

Posted Dec 12, 2011 at 10:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: call of duty elite, cod, david zelnick, subscription services, take 2

Take 2 Boss Criticizes Yearly Schedule Releases

With games like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty being released every year, who has time for quality.

Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is a force to be reckoned with. A man who has helped push some of the most innovative and creatively awesome titles to the finish line over the years, but over those years has been time...effort...killing hookers, so when Zelnick says that the current model of yearly releases isn't sustainable, he knows what he's talking about.

Big budget Triple-A titles need time and effort put upon them, not just a new coat of paint, a first-draft script and some geographically confused accents. Zelnick was a speaker at the UBS Media and Communications conference and whilst Zelnick didn't specificially name any franchises he had however, just finished discussing Activision's stance in the market place.

Zelnick said that if "you start trying to stamp these products out annually, we don't think that's consistent with a high-quality result", essentially the current Call of Duty model, even with a subscription service, is not sustainable. Zelnick added that if you give consmers something every year like clockwork, they will eventually grow tired of it.

Whilst I would agree with Zelnick, MW3 did pull in over half a billion dollars in sales last month and I tend not to argue with creative figures that I will never ever ever ever ever ever see in my lifetime.

Figures have been coming out about how GameStop and a few other retailers have sold over half a million Premium Subscriptions to Call of Duty's subscription service, Elite and have continued to grow as such. Zelnick queried the viability of such a subscription service, saying he could't tell whether it was relevant yet. "I'm kind of skeptical, frankly. I suspect that we want a different experience on our big screen than we do on our middle-sized screen than we do on our mobile screen, because I think we use them at different times and they mean different things. I do think an intellectual property can thread through, but only if it is really high quality."

That being said users who signed up for Elite crashed the servers twice in the first week of release due to it's popularity and the unbelivable amount of support that Activision had not prepared for. Jamie Berger of Activision has acttually said that "right now, it's an option", when talking about Elite, but he also adds that it might not be in "3-5 years."

So both Activision and Zelnick are not thinking about keeping a community running in the long term; they should team up on something.

Saturday Mash-Up: The Hottest QJ Posts of the Week

Posted Dec 3, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: battlefield 3, playstation vita memory, skyrim

Find out what your fellow QJers are talking about this week, as drama blooms from all corners.

Indie developers take a shot at Nintendo and Sony, GameStop leaked potential Vita memory card prices and Iran has a serious problem with one of the biggest games of the year. These are among the hottest news posts here on QJ, sparking up intense arguments and polite discussion from readers.

If you’re just sitting down for your Saturday reading, we’ve compiled five of the biggest stories from the week right here so you can get up to speed post-haste. Also, as is now Saturday tradition, I’ll be awarding one lucky/unlucky QJ reader the prestigious “Comment of the Week” award.

Without further ado, here’s your:

Should Nintendo and Sony Stop Making Consoles?

Indie and mobile developer Andy Payne thinks that Nintendo and Sony are limiting themselves by making their own hardware and developing software with exclusivity. His recommendation is that they stop worrying about hardware and focus entirely on software, distributing to mobile markets. What do you think?

Iran Bans Battlefield 3

The Iranian government is not pleased with the way Iran was treated in Battlefield 3, to the point of banning the game from sale in their country. The game’s primary offender? A staged attack by U.S. forces against Iran’s capital city of Tehran. There are two sides to this argument – you could argue that Iran is overreacting to a video game, but you could also argue that they’re justified in objecting to the content. Where do you land on this one?

Where and When Should the Next Assassin’s Creed Go?

We know Ubisoft is planning another Assassin’s Creed game, and it looks like they’re turning to their players for advice on where to set it. A leaked survey to fans of the franchise lists several possible locations, including the Victorian British Empire, Medieval China, and even the American Revolution. You can see the full list on the post and add your favorite location in the comments.

PlayStation Vita Memory Cards are Pricey

This is by far the most-commented story of the week – GameStop, using rough Yen conversions, posted prices for the proprietary memory cards that will be available for Sony’s Vita handheld, and gamers are not pleased with the cost. The smallest card, at 4GB, runs $29.99 – a far cry from what similarly sized non-Sony memory cards cost nowadays. Of course, Yen conversion is tricky, so we’ll have to wait on an official Sony announcement before throwing too big a hissy fit.

What is Your Game of the Year?

In this post, QJ writer Tim Curtain poses the question on everyone’s mind: What exactly is the best game of the year. With huge titles like Skyrim, Portal 2 and Skyward Sword on the list, it’s going to be hard for anyone to truly nail down a winner. Dark Souls is making a strong appearance in the comments section, as is Portal 2 – what game would you call the best if you had the chance?

Those are your five most talked about QJ posts for the week. And now it’s time for that very special Saturday ritual – the awarding of Comment of the Week. This week’s award goes to triac for his comment on Skyrim Patch Breaks More than it Fixes:

The CG machine is broken again!

DRAGON BRAIN!

Mash-Up, out!

Saturday Mash-Up: The Hottest QJ Posts of the Week

Posted Nov 12, 2011 at 1:11PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: battlefield 3, mw3, playstation 4, skyrim

Five posts from the last few days that you may have missed, but shouldn’t have.

Saturdays can be slow news days, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that happens during the week. So, with that in mind, I’ve compiled a quick list of the most Jumped/Commented posts of the week, as well as a quick rundown on what you’ll find should you choose to read them yourself. Also, I’m giving one special QJ user the illustrious “Comment of the Week” award, so be sure to check that out at the end of this post.

Here goes:

Did You Kill a Rat in BF3 Single Player?

PETA is pretty upset about a scene in Battlefield 3 that has you pick up a rat, stab it with your tactical knife and toss it aside. Comments overfloweth on this post, but it looks like most people seem to agree that PETA needs to calm down. Read the full post and add your thoughts to the discussion – is in-game violence cause for real-life concern?

PoV: Is it Time for PlayStation 4?

In this post, I talked about the speed at which PC systems are outstripping consoles, and whether it’s time for an official announcement on the next Sony console. Sony probably isn’t dropping the system any time soon; analysts say it’s strong until 2015. Most commenters seem to feel that the PS3 has plenty of life in it – what do you think?

Colorado Man Loses His Mind Over MW3 Pre-Order

This post covers the very strange occurrence at a Colorado Best Buy on Tuesday night, when a man threatened to shoot employees and blow up the store because they ran out of copies of Modern Warfare 3. Commenters think the guy should have chilled out, but some have noted that Best Buy should have stocked enough games to cover their pre-orders. There’s also a fair bit of CoD bashing, if that’s the sort of thing you enjoy.

You Can Play Skyrim Forever

Bethesda recently revealed that Skyrim’s radiant story system will continue to create quests for as long as you own the game. This essentially gives you an infinite Skyrim experience. Comment reactions are pretty positive, though one commenter somehow manages to insult Modern Warfare 3 in the process. What do you think about a truly infinite experience?

Android and iOS Stomp Nintendo and Sony Handhelds

News that the mobile games market finally eclipsed traditional handheld games sales took the industry by storm. Games for these two mobile platforms have generated more revenue than PSP and DS games combined, but some savvy commenters noted that the DS and PSP are near the end of their lifespans, and the data may not be as impressive as some may think. Check out the post and decide for yourself!

And, finally, it’s time to present one special person with “Comment of the Week.” I’ve read through piles of comments – some good, some bad, and some absolutely awful – but the clear winner this week is doo che, for his/her comment on “You Can Play Skyrim Forever:”

“I HAVE NOT BEEN THIS EXCITED FOR ANYTHING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

YOU COULD GIVE ME 18 HOOKERS AND AN INFINITE SUPPLY OF BACON AND I STILL WOULDN'T GIVE A SHIT, CAUSE SKYRIM COMES OUT TOMORROW!”

I hope the game turned out as good as you were expecting, doo che. Keep on trucking.

Android and iOS Stomp Nintendo and Sony Handhelds

Posted Nov 10, 2011 at 4:19PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: angry birds, psp games

Recent numbers indicate that games for the two mobile platforms have outsold PSP and DS software. Like, by a lot.

Nintendo, I think, is considered the champion of handheld gaming. The Sony PSP has certainly made headway, and the shaky launch of the 3DS combined with Vita’s hype threatens Nintendo’s position in the market, but for the most part, they’ve ruled the handheld roost since launching the Game Boy way back in 1989. Pretty much everyone has a DS, right?

But a new challenger has appeared in recent years, one that has managed to put games in the hands of non-gamers and absolutely demolish both the PSP and Nintendo handhelds in terms of raw software sales: the mobile market.

According to numbers from Flurry, mobile games sales represented an astounding 58% of games sales in the last year, compared to 36% for the Nintendo DS and only 6% for the PSP. That means that mobile games have sold more software than the DS and PSP combined. Sony and Nintendo have earned around $1.4 billion in portable games sales this year, combined to $1.9 billion for Android market and iOS. The industry is certainly changing.

Mobile gaming is going to continue to dominate in terms of raw sales, but I think the writer over at TechCrunch has this point severely wrong: “I think Sony and Nintendo have to come to grips with the fact that iOS and Android are capable of much richer play experiences than PSP or 3DSs are.”

He then goes on to list Angry Birds and Disney’s Mobile AppMates as evidence of these “rich” play experiences. That’s a pretty big jump when you start looking at some of the incredible games we’ve seen on handheld consoles, and when you consider that some of the best games on mobile systems are dumbed-down DS or PSP games.

But he’s right about one thing – by not developing games for the mobile market, Nintendo and Sony are missing a big profit opportunity.

What do you think of these new numbers? Do you think mobile platforms provide “richer” games than the DS or PSP?

Golden Joystick Awards Are In

Posted Oct 21, 2011 at 12:53PM EST by Listed in: PSP, PC Gaming Tags: gamesmaster, Golden Joystick Awards

Find out what games real gamers selected as the best of the year, from a contest that earned over two million votes.

GamesMaster’s Golden Joystick Awards are different from other award given out in the games industry, because the people who select the winners are the people that play the games. The Golden Joysticks compile their list of winners based exclusively on votes from players, which means there are not usually any big surprises when the winners list comes out.

One could note that since the votes really only represent the popular gaming mind, excellent but less-known games don’t have much of a chance of winning. Either way, the awards do help us get a pretty good idea of what gamers liked in the last few months, and what they’re still playing. You’ll notice a big wins for Mojang (Minecraft), Ubisoft (Assassin’s Creed) and Rovio (Angry Birds), but the year clearly belongs to Activision/Blizzard (StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Black Ops and Guitar Hero). It probably doesn’t hurt that most of the titles on the list seem to be available for more than one system.

Here’s the list, compiled by GamePro:

Action/Adventure Game of the Year: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Mobile Game of the Year: Angry Birds Rio

Roleplaying Game of the Year: Fallout: New Vegas

Massively Multiplayer Online Game of the Year: World of Warcraft

Fighting Game of the Year: Mortal Kombat

Racing Game of the Year: Gran Turismo 5

Sports Game of the Year: FIFA 11

Strategy Game of the Year: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Music Game of the Year: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

Free to Play Game of the Year: League of Legends

Downloadable Game of the Year: Minecraft

Shooter Game of the Year: Call of Duty: Black Ops

One to Watch Award: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Innovation of the Year: Nintendo 3DS

Outstanding Contribution: Sonic the Hedgehog

Ultimate Game of the Year: Portal 2

I’m pretty surprised to see the 3DS on the list, since it gets a lot of flak from players and the press, but I guess there weren’t’ many other innovations to speak of.

Remember that winners are taken exclusively from games that game out within the last 12 months, so don’t throw a hissy fit if your favorite game isn’t there unless you’re sure it’s eligible.

That being said, do you see anything in this list worth throwing a hissy fit over?

Watch: Katamari Damacy rolls out to PS Vita

Posted Sep 16, 2011 at 2:24AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS Vita Tags: katamari damacy, Namco Bandai, Sony

There's no stopping Katamari Damacy from rolling onto the PlayStation Vita.

Namco Bandai released a video of what we could very well expect from this high rolling ball of fun. Rich Bantegui could not contain his excitement for it that he went over to the PlayStation Blog to post the very first video trailer for it.

Despite the gameplay trailer being ready, however, the title isn't yet so much, so expect a possible change in the final name of the game in the newar future. We're definitely looking forward to hear more about Katamari Damacy's day out on the Vita, and that's exactly what the Namco Bandai team is promising us to get "in the coming weeks and months".

While that's yet to happen, though, do enjoy this video first.

Harvest Moon HD not in Marvelous' priorities

Not that they don't want to give it to fans. It's just that they believe fans of the Harvest Moon series would much rather see more fun created over a HD-fied version.

Director of digital content Toshinori Aoki explains, "The game has a large fanbase of both male and female gamers. I'm not sure if one is larger than the other, but we know it is a title female gamers cherish. And we really appreciate that. In the future we will release Harvest Moon on platforms we believe it will sell well, but right now we think female gamers don't favor a HD version as much as they do with having fun wiht the series."

This was his reveal in a recent interview with Siliconera. Furthermore, "Maybe this is a series that is mobile focused? Right now we're making The Tale of Two Towns for 3DS with Natsume. It's not that we're against bringing Harvest Moon to Wii U, PS3, or Xbox 360. It's just that this is a series where we are thankful for fans and we don't want to force them to buy a new system.

We want to bring it to where the fans are. Up until now, we felt the fans were on the DS and we think that a lot of those fans have gotten a 3DS. So, we want to bring it on those platforms first before we start planning bringing the series to another console. It's not that we're not thinking about it, but right now we are focused on working on The Tale of Two Towns for the 3DS."

It sure is interesting to see a company take on this kind of position, especially when the common practice today in the industry is to have publishers send out their wares to as much platforms possible for maximum exposure. While it is a rather tenuous stand, I think there's much to appreciate in their steadfastness at being loyal to their loyal fans.

While they have yet to decide on an HD version, at least Harvest Moon fans have got The Tale of Two Towns to look forward to this year.
