Who could be throwing their hat into the console ring?

Posted Mar 4, 2012 at 10:15AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Gabe Newell, GDC, steam box, steam rumors

Valve could be announcing Steam Box at GDC

What in the hell is Valve doing?

GDC is going on at the moment and I have a few friends checking it out, pitching games and showing off their work but with all the rumours flying around at the San Fran convention, I'd hate to be a Valve employee right now.

The great big PC developer and probably one of the only game studios who I respect and will follow till they release Half Life 3 and with the idea of making a console, looks like I better start saving up.

Steam Box is the tentative title that everyone is dubbing it on the interwebs but i tlooks like Valve may throw their hat into the console ring and I think that the only way it will sell is if they make Half Life 3 exclusive to PC and their console...it will be the highest selling console ever.

The rumours were fueled that the company have been toying with the idea of creating a proper set-top console that could pose a threat to not only current-gen but next-gen consoles. Valve co-founder recently told the guys at Penny Arcade that if they had to sell hardware, they will. This could easily just have meant Valve branded graphics cards or just some cool memorabilia like keyboards, mice or even headphones but if they make Steam Box...the world of video games may change forever.

The story was broken over the weekend withG The VergeGFC

Game Developers Conference is on and people are talking...

Well folks, the time has finally come to “Take Earth back.” And you can bet we here at QJ will spend most of next week (and the week after) doing just that.

Prima Drops Interactive Skyrim Map on iPhone

Posted Feb 18, 2012 at 4:22PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: game guides, ipad, iphone, itunes store, prima, skyrim

And the best part? It’s free! Sort of.

Skyrim is a massive game. With over 300 hours of gameplay (before you count the infinite-quest generator), it’s safe to assume that even the most seasoned RPG gamers will need a little help tracking down everything. Prima, a noted name in the world of game guides, has just dropped a very handy tool for doing just that.

The new Prima interactive Skyrim world map is available on any device that runs on iOS 5, and is 100% complete. Every quest, retrievable item, dungeon and secret is laid bare on the map—for a price, of course.

You’ll get the world map and maps of each of Skyrim’s nine holds with the app, but if you want detailed maps (over 1,000 points of interest, dungeons, etc.), you’ll have to rely on in-app purchases. You can also add your own points of interest to the map, which supports zooms up to 3200%.

The full app, with every dungeon and point of interest, will run you $10. Not too shabby, especially when you consider that a printed game guide usually lands around $20.

What do you think of digital game guides?

EA Feels Your Origin Hate Subsiding

Posted Feb 16, 2012 at 5:27PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: EA, origin, Peter Moore, Steam

EA notes that vitriol from players regarding its unnecessary Origin software is on the decline, and asks for a two-year window to make the service useful.

Origin is a piece of shit. What’s worse, it’s an unnecessary piece of shit. What Origin stumbles through, Steam already had mastered. And the only reason Origin even exists at this point is EA stripping its games from a far superior digital distribution platform and forcing a proprietary service down everyone’s throats. It’s nothing less than a digital coup, and an ugly one at that.

Origin has, naturally, seen its fair share of hate. Most of this hate stems from feelings like those mentioned above, with a bit left over for the terrible customer service offered by the platform. However, EA sees a few rays of light poking through the hate clouds. Chief operating officer Peter Moore, who is largely responsible for the existence of Origin, believes that the software is just a couple of years away from being truly wonderful.

Moore stated that EA is looking for ways to make Origin more social and more interactive, as opposed to just a pipeline for the company to shovel games at players (at exorbitant prices). He also noted that criticism of the platform has mostly died down, and that gamers are learning to embrace Origin’s special brand of online functionality. Hey, when you make something mandatory, how can people not learn to use it?

His comments are actually sort of hilarious—Moore claims that the healthiest decision for the industry is providing players with a way to “shop around” on various services, while his company simultaneously pulls all of its games off competitor’s platforms. Nice one, EA. Regardless of the hypocrisy, Moore does make a smart point when he says the service needs a couple of years; there’s no telling whether Origin will be better or worse in 2014.

What do you think of Origin? Do you see it as one more gaming tool on your PC, or an unwanted and forced intrusion by a greedy company?
