Oh, Lawsuits, You So Crazy

Activision's tangling with EA and some ex-Infinity Ward dudes in the courts. It would be pretty ho-hum, but some details have come to light that point towards some pretty shady shit going on in the office.

Saints Row the Third Experiencing PC Issues

Posted Dec 27, 2011 at 1:21PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: arkham city, cod elite, origin, saints row the third, skyrim

Users are reporting serious problems with the PC version of Saints Row the Third.

2011 has definitely been the year of the buggy launch. We’ve seen Origin issues, an unavailable CoD Elite, Skyrim crashes, an inoperable Arkham City and a barely functioning RAGE. It certainly seems like developers had a hard time putting the final layer of polish on their games this year, and Saints Row the Third is apparently no exception.

Players of the PC version of Saints Row the Third are reporting that the game’s outdoor settings (of which there are many) cause their systems to slow down immensely, making the game nearly unplayable. The glitch only occurs in Saints Row’s open world – you know, the open world that’s supposed to be the entire core of the game.

Volition is working with users to get the issue resolved. They’re taking dxdiag files and talking to people on the official Saints Row and Steam forums in order to get some idea of what’s happening – the problem isn’t limited to AMD or NVIDIA hardware, so it’s going to take them some time to lock down.

While it’s nice to see the company interacting with players and trying to fix the problem, the immense number of broken titles we’ve seen this year is an interesting, and slightly alarming trend.

Do you think developers are getting sloppy?

Ridge Racer Vita Only Has Three Courses

Posted Nov 26, 2011 at 9:00AM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: namco/bandai, ps vita ridge racer, ridge race

The anticipated PS Vita game contains only three tracks and five cars. Weak.

A few lucky individuals in the Japanese gaming press had the chance to play the PlayStation Vita’s upcoming version of Ridge Racer, and while the reports paint the controls and graphics in a positive light, they also note that the game is pretty limited when it comes to content.

Based on the current version of the game, Vita’s Ridge Racer will ship with three tracks, all of which are remakes from previous Ridge Racer games, and only five different cars. CVG, reporting on the story, notes that there will probably be DLC content, but the in-box game seems alarmingly limited. You can run the courses backwards, but that hardly seems like a substitute for more on-disc content.

The game will be priced below normal Vita games, so that’s some consolation to Ridge Racer fans. Still, it’s not a great precedent for the future of games – slightly cheaper, but limited titles aimed at filling in the blanks with DLC. Most Vita games run around £50, but Ridge Racer will land at about £33 – not necessarily a huge enough difference to justify such a small title.

Also, the game apparently runs at only 30fps? Overall, it doesn’t sound like Ridge Racer is shaping up to be the exciting title some people thought – limited courses, limited cars, and limited frame rates mar what should be a great experience.

Would you buy a racing game with only three courses?

Sorry Folks, No Metal Gear Solid 5

Posted Nov 22, 2011 at 3:09PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Hideo Kojima, metal gear solid

Official PlayStation Magazine UK gives the internet and gaming press a story to run with – too bad it wasn’t true.

You may remember hearing the distant sound of cheers and trumpets last week as the entire Internet, QJ included, rose to its feet to celebrate the official announcement of Metal Gear Solid 5. The game, which had been in rumor form for years, was confirmed by Official PlayStation Magazine UK, or at least it seemed like the game was confirmed.

Sadly for all of your MGS fans, it looks like the magazine may have slightly (or greatly) exaggerated the existence of Metal Gear Solid 5, but was content to let the story ride as hype built for its new issue.

Nearly every gaming news site ran with the story, based entirely on the cover blurb from the issue. But since no one had access to the article, one very important detail was lost in the shuffle: they’re not actually working on MGS 5 at all.

The magazine promised “Metal Gear Solid 5 details” on its cover, which it supposedly gleaned from its interview with Metal Gear producer Hideo Kojima. Of course, the actual quote says something a little different:

“I think we’ll probably have to make it [MGS5] at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea. As far as my involvement in the project is concerned, it probably won’t be as much as it was with MGS1--maybe I can do just one stage! For MGS1 I made the maps myself, laid out the enemy routes myself, did everything hands-on--that level I can’t do again.”

Nothing about that quote indicates that MGS5 is in development. All it indicates is that they’ve considered doing a new Metal Gear Solid game, but they currently have no clue what to do with it. That’s a far cry from “details.” The game will probably be made eventually, but the information on the magazine’s cover is slanted at best and a fabrication at worst.

Ridiculous. Sorry for the wrong information folks, and shame on the magazine for purposefully duping the gaming populace.

PoV: Deus Ex: Human Revolution review

Posted Aug 25, 2011 at 6:30PM EST by Carl B Listed in: PoV Tags: deus ex, Eidos Montreal, human revolution, Square Enix, Warren Spector

Warren Spector's Deus Ex originally released on PC in 2000 and was instantly heralded of one of the greatest -- if not the best -- shooter, stealth, and RPG hybrids on the market. It allowed players to choose how they progress through the game's story with a variety of gameplay mechanics, ultimately shaping the overall outcome of the adventure. Dues Ex: Human Revolution, developed by Eidos-Montreal and published by Square-Enix, takes place 25 years before the events of the first title, but can the team at Eidos re-create the original's magic without its creator?

Used Nintendo 3DS sales jump up in Japan

Posted Aug 7, 2011 at 1:08AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Nintendo

Good news: 3DS sales have doubled in Japan! Bad news: the sales are for USED 3DS units.

Media Create's data reveal that more 3DS handhelds have been resold by owners. What makes it just a bit less alarming, though, is that they are actually being snatched right back up.

The increase in sales of second-hand unit may be explained by a variety of factors, including which may be the players' interest in participating in the Ambassador program. Said program promises the benefit of giving free games to early adopters before the official price drop becomes implemented.

On the other hand, however, brand new 3DS units experienced a drop in sales after the price drop was announced by Nintendo.

The company is still pretty much struggling to remedy this problem of slow sales for the 3DS, on top of the issue of what appears to be a lack in software. President Satoru Iwata recently divulged their plans of coming out with 3D-less games for the 3DS to fill in the void. According to him, third-party publishers can focus on the unit's other integral features, anyway.

Via [Nintendo World Report]

It's a bit of a good news-bad news kind of Sunday for Nintendo.
