Previously, Capcom refused to back down from fan complaints about on-disc DLC, but now it looks like they may be bending over. Too bad about Dragon's Dogma.

Sony Sees Hope for Vita in 3DS Sales

Posted Jan 19, 2012 at 5:01PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: andy house, nintendo 3ds, ps vita, SCEI

The games giant interprets strong demand for Nintendo’s handheld as evidence the portable market is still going strong.

It seems like every week we have a report on how poorly the PS Vita is doing in Japan. The story is consistent enough that I’ve considered not even reporting on it for the time being, since we’re basically making the same post once a week when the sales numbers roll in. But despite the device’s sales troubles, Sony believes there’s still strong demand for portable gaming devices.

Speaking to Edge, SCEI President Andy House noted that while the PS Vita doesn’t have its own strong numbers yet, the company feels comfortable using the success of the 3DS as evidence of a robust “gaming-primary” device market. It may seem strange to see Sony using Nintendo as a benchmark, but with sales like the Vita’s, the company is essentially grasping at straws.

Of course, this is Sony we’re talking about, so House couldn’t resist taking a shot at the 3DS as a casual device:

“What I think we've done is point to a market that really has started out with potentially casual games on other devices but now wants a deeper, or better, or more premier gaming experience.”

It’s amazing to me that Sony still manages to dismiss Nintendo devices, despite the fact that those devices continually outperform Sony’s products. Regardless, House is right about one thing – there’s still definitely a market for handheld games.

Handheld Nintendo games, anyway. Awww snap!

But seriously, what do you think of Sony using Nintendo’s success as an indication of the Vita’s future?

Want to know what games are hitting shelves with the Vita when it drops here in the U.S.? Check out our list!

Today has been an interesting day for Vita news. First, we got an idea of how expensive the device’s memory cards were actually going to be (read: not very). Now, we have a confirmed and official list of every game that will be available at launch. And the list is pretty long, especially when compared to some other launches.

Some of the games are likely not going to be great, but the presence of Uncharted and Hot Shots Golf are enough to ensure Sony sells at least a few thousand devices. And hey, who doesn’t love Katamari?

Here’s your launch list:

SCEA Launch Day Titles

Escape Plan (PSN Only)

Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational

Hustle Kings (PSN Only)

Little Deviants

ModNation Racers: Road Trip

Super StarDust Delta (PSN only)

UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss

PS3 Other OS case thrown out of court

Posted Dec 21, 2011 at 10:30AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PS3 Tags: linux os, other os, other os court case, ps3 court case, ps3 modding

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/39088/Judge_Dismisses_PlayStation_3_Other_OS_Removal_Class_Action_Suit.php

PS3 "Other OS" case thrown out of court.

Judge musn't be a Linux user.

Sony has gotten rid of a lot of features with the PS3. One of the first thing's to go was the backwards compatible feature which would allow users to play PS2 games, which struck a blow for almost all gamers who wanted to continue playing PS2 games. It was a strange move as every other next gen console had BC except Sony. However, this was sorely followed up with the removal of having another operating system on the PS3.

After the removal a class action lawsuit was started and

A judge dismissed all counts except one of the class-action suit protesting the Other OS removal.

Many people bought the PlayStation 3 believing they had the ability to use it however they wished. The option to install a different operating system on the computer - known as the "Other OS" option - enabled users to put Linux or some other open source OS on their PS 3 and basically have a cheap but powerful CPU and GPU combo. Even the U.S. military realized that stringing together PS3s could make you a cheap-ass super-computer. But in March 2010, Sony permanently removed the "Other OS" feature from all PS3s with a firmware update needed to access the PlayStation Network. California resident Anthony Ventura filed a class-action lawsuit stating that the removal was an "intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available." Today, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed all but one of Ventura's claims.

Judge Seeborg upheld Sony's right to enforce the End User License Agreement or EULA all customers agreed to upon purchasing the PlayStation 3. "These contracts specifically provide PS3 purchasers with a license, not an ownership interest, in the software and in the use of the PSN, and provide that SCEA has the right to disable or alter software features or terminate or limit access to the PSN, including by issuing firmware updates," Sony said in its motion to dismiss the suit.

But the sticking point seems to be the access to the PlayStation Network, and other features. Judge Seebold made it clear that customers who bought the PS3 with the Other OS option enabled could still use the console as is, they just wouldn't be able to access Sony's network as well as play new games or Blu-Rays.

"All of the counts are based on plaintiffs' fundamental contention that it was wrongful for Sony to disable the Other OS feature, or, more precisely, [to force PS3 owners to decide between] permitting the Other OS feature to be disabled or forgoing their access to the PSN and any other benefits available through installing," wrote Seebold in the dismissal. "The flaw in plaintiffs' [argument] is that they are claiming rights not only with respect to the features of the PS3 product, but also to have ongoing access to an internet service offered by Sony, the PSN."

The plaintiffs maintain that firmware update 3.21 doesn't just forbid access to the PSN, but that the main functions of the console are no longer viable. To wit, if you didn't update, you could no longer play new games, play games online, play new Blu-Rays, or even play some older Blu-Rays. So choosing not to update and keep the "Other OS" option alive means that no new purchases are possible and the usefulness of the product is seriously restricted.

At least the judge wasn't completely heartless. "The dismay and frustration at least some PS3 owners likely experienced when Sony made the decision to limit access to the PSN service to those who were willing to disable the Other OS feature on their machines was no doubt genuine and understandable," he said, but unfortunately those emotions have no impact on the legal scope of things.

"As a matter of providing customer satisfaction and building loyalty, it may have been questionable. As a legal matter, however, plaintiffs have failed to allege facts or to articulate a theory on which Sony may be held liable."

Sorry, people. It looks like console manufacturers can change their products' capabilities after you purchase them with no penalty whatsoever.

Judge must not be a Linux user.

Chris Avellone Says Player Convenience hurts RPGs

Chris Avellone: "Player Convenience" hurts RPG's

And enjoying having a player fanbase hurts game companies

Chris Avellone recently spoke with Industry Gamers about the current state of video games and where they are headed in terms of genre and gameplay. Avellone is a veteran, having worked on Planetscape:Torment, Fallout 2 and of course, Fallout New Vegas, Avellone knows how people play and yet seems that desiging for certain types of players can be frustrating.

Speaking with Industry Gamers he said that "the 'advances' have been more for player convenience - sometimes good, sometimes bad - in my opinion. Journals, quest compasses that point directly to the goal and show you the route, auto-maps, etc. are helpful; at the same time, I think it undermines the thrill of victory and discovery and a lot of what makes an RPG an RPG"

I've heard of the argument that over the past decade game designers have gotten soft on players and provide them with too much when it comes to games. I think Avellone is making a stance more on just the RPG genre itself rather than calling out flawed game design. Avellone was a lot more double-edged about the situation saying that in terms of non-interface elements he felt "the idea of morally grey choices and more focus on actions and consequences" have been great "for all RPG's."

In the past five years, RPG's have gotten a bit more sophisticated from the old Final Fantasy route of world ending, go help out. Avellone's own Planetscape Torment began to break the mould by introducing more of a grey system of good verus evil, rather than just fighting a big bad. There was another addition to Avellone enjoying new-gen RPG's with voice acting has really helped the RPG along well.

Avellone also talked about how the RPG genre is something that should really be added to gameplay more than just tacked on, for game's that do genre-bending. "Developers are seeing the worth in customization, levelling, dialogue, choice and reactivity and other elements that would normally be considered RPG mechanics and introducing them into multiple titles." Hopefully, Avellone will be working on the South Park game and making it worth it's weight in RPG gold.

EA enjoying new Activision customers

Posted Dec 15, 2011 at 9:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: Activision, battlefield 3, bf3, ea games, modern warfare 3, Peter Moore

EA enjoying new Activision customers

Peter Moore enjoying bragging about said customers

Whilst Activision did do business of over a billion dollars in it's first fortnight, EA Games are still sitting quietly on a tiny throne waiting for people to notice them. Electronic Arts was hoping that they would do a bit of business, not on the same scale, but still big enough to steal some of it's customers. BF3 did better than last year's FPS affair o f Medal of Honor (remember that fiasco?), selling ten million copies since October, of course, in comparison, that's 6.5 million IN A DAY for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Moore still believes BF3 grabbed a piece of the Modern Warfare audience...

Moore said that "when the dust fully settles, maybe we're looking at this at the end of our fiscal year, we'll do analysis and I think we will have taken share." Moore doubts that any analysis will turn up poor sales and that everything Battlefield 3 will sell, will be incrimental. But Moore still thinks that whoever sold the most, it's still a win for the entire games industry.

"Two entities have benefited from Call of Duty and Battlefield being on the market," Moore says, "the gamers and the industry, retailers and people who rely on the ability to sell big blockbuster games," Moore says the genre has grown enormously and will continue to do so. "If we haven't gained share, that means in the first week, we've added 5 million new FPS gamers," when commenting on the figures sold, whether they were players from MW3.

Moore is humble and honest about the players though saying there is a possibility that "many of them bough both games." Moore also comments on the media saturation over both games saying the "big entertainment blockbusters this year are not movies, they're videogames." I bought BF3 and not a big fan of Modern Warfare 3, which is a lot of reviewers opinion. It's almost on par with the Twilight films in terms of entertaining noteriority. The games sell well, regardless of critical feedback from consumers or fans alike, and more often than not they are released every year to a slightly stupider audience.

Skyrim's Map Contains all of Tamriel

Posted Nov 23, 2011 at 1:20PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Bethesda, elder scrolls, morrowind, oblivion, skyrim

Looking towards the future of the enormously successful Elder Scrolls game, is it possible that we’ll be visiting Morrowind soon?

Skyrim is a massive game, both in terms of gameplay time and in terms of pure size. The geographic layout of Skyrim isn’t the largest map ever conceived, but it’s certainly one of the most detailed and is packed with more activities per square yard than any other game I can think of off the top of my head.

But recently discovered evidence indicates that the province of Skyrim may be just the beginning for this, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series.

One savvy 19-year-old gamer has discovered that the entire landmass of Tamriel was actually built into Skyrim. For those that are unfamiliar with the franchise, Skyrim is just one nation in the larger empire of Tamriel – Morrowind and Oblivion are also parts of this empire. What this gamer has figured out is that Bethesda built every part of Tamriel into the map, even though players can currently only access Skyrim itself.

Right now, invisible walls block progress to those other locations. But it’s entirely possible that we’ll see DLC aimed at expanding our character’s travels. After all, Bethesda has to have built the entire landmass for a reason – it could be for DLC, it could be for looks, and it could be for the benefit of modders.

Do you think opening the lands of Tamriel is a good plan for DLC, or would you rather see more Skyrim (the nation)-specific content?

Here Comes the New Xbox Dashboard

Posted Nov 22, 2011 at 5:28PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: microsoft updates, xbox dashboard

Microsoft’s slick new Xbox dashboard has an official release date, and it’s very, very soon.

The original Xbox 360 dashboard left a lot to be desired, but it had a certain charm. Over the years, Microsoft has tuned and re-tuned the dashboard to make it easier to use and, more importantly, easier to sell you things like movies, apps and downloadable content.

The latest version of the dashboard, now titled “Metro,” is scheduled for launch December 6th and brings with it a whole slew of new features and options.

The dashboard boasts full Kinect support, Bing voice search, Beacon-marking, sharing of achievements to Facebook and plenty of other new features. Additionally, expect to see the early versions of Xbox TV or whatever they’re calling it, with a variety of service providers bringing their programming directly to the dashboard (for a small fee, of course). Microsoft updates the providers based on contractual obligations and regions, so look around for specific info regarding what you’ll actually be able to access.

One major point in the update notes: the addition of cloud saving for all Xbox Live Gold members. The benefit here is that you can back up your game saves to the Microsoft cloud, allowing you to share them across consoles – a much-needed feature, especially as our poor little HDDs get filled up.

What do you think about the new features coming to the dashboard? Is there anyone out there that’s been playing with the beta and has a few comments regarding its functionality?
