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

Details Emerge on Final Fantasy X HD

Posted Feb 18, 2012 at 3:15PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy x, ico, metal gear solid hd, Playstation 2, Square Enix

Why make new games when people will just keep buying the old ones?

Fans have been on a rampage trying to get Square Enix to remake Final Fantasy VII, but the company doesn’t seem to care. Instead, it has elected to bring the PlayStation 2’s Final Fantasy X to modern consoles, with an HD version due sometime this year. Unfortunately for fans of the franchise, details were scarce at the time of the project’s announcement.

New info has emerged that helps clarify what exactly Final Fantasy X HD is all about. And if you’re hoping for a complete, next-gen remake, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Shinji Hashimoto, producer for Square Enix, has confirmed that the upcoming re-release is a re-mastering of the original a la ICO or Metal Gear Solid HD.

So it looks like the Final Fantasy X you remember will be present in full in this upcoming release, with a few minor upgrades to make it worth plopping down your cash. Not the best news in the world, but not terrible either.

Is it worth buying the same games over and over again for minor graphical upgrades?

Dragon’s Dogma Delayed, but Comes with RE6 Demo

Posted Jan 31, 2012 at 2:27PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Capcom, dragonâ��s dogma, resident evil 6

If you’re eagerly anticipating Dragon’s Dogma, you’re going to have to wait just a bit longer.

Capcom announced early this week that Dragon’s Dogma, its upcoming action-adventure title, would unfortunately have its release pushed back a bit. The game is now slated for a North American release on May 22, and a European release on May 25. That’s a pretty big jump from the target dates, which were March 27 and May 1st respectively.

The news isn’t all bad, however, as Capcom confirmed that Dragon’s Dogma would come with a special code redeemable for access to the Resident Evil 6 demo. Xbox users will have access to the demo on July 3, while PS3 players will have to wait until September 4. If you’re a cross-platform gamer, it looks like Xbox 360 is going to be the better system (assuming you’re buying the game to land the demo).

The delay also gives you more time to pre-order and land some bonus content – GameStop is offering a “Pawn Upgrade Pack,” Best Buy has an “Amor Upgrade Pack,” and Amazon is pushing the “Weapon Upgrade Pack.” Make of that what you will.

Are you looking forward to Dragon’s Dogma? What about the Resident Evil 6 demo?

Avalanche Working on New IP

Posted Nov 19, 2011 at 7:30AM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Avalanche Studios, just cause 3, project mamba

The studio behind the Just Cause franchise has just announced a brand new, AAA title called Project Mamba.

Remember all of those Just Cause 3 rumors swirling around over the last few weeks? Looks like we can finally put them to bed, as Avalanche Studios has finally revealed what it’s actually been working on. The new game, titled Project Mamba, is a completely new franchise aimed at PC and console systems sometime in 2014.

The developer is planning to add a few more employees, bumping up to 50 in order to handle the stress of developing a game form the ground up. Most of the work will occur at the New York office, which has only recently been established. Since the game is scheduled for 2014, you can probably count on picking it up on your Xbox Loop/PlayStation 4.

This may come as a letdown for Just Cause fans, although it’s certainly possible the studio is working on both games. Then again, if you have to hire more people to handle one of your games, that doesn’t really indicate that you have people to spare on another project. Who knows?

There aren’t many details on what we should expect from Project Mamba beyond its release window and the destination consoles. We’ll keep you updated as information rolls in over the next few months.

What do you think of Avalanches’ success? They’re one of very few indie studios capable of making AAA games, so I have nothing but the best wishes for their upcoming projects.

Sony Dropping PSN Game Share Limit

Posted Nov 4, 2011 at 1:48PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: psn sharing

PlayStation 3 owners are about to lose one of the system’s best features – the ability to share PSN games with up to five other devices.

Sony just announced that the PSN share limit is changing from five devices to two as of November 18th. Any content purchased on or after that date will only be available for sharing across two devices, a stark change from the previous policy. You’ll still be able to play two PSPs and two PS3’s, bringing the potential total to four, but that’s only for games that can operate on both systems. Otherwise, you’re stuck with just the two.

To clarify: PSN games downloaded after November 18th can be shared to two PS3 systems and two PSPs, down from the original number of five. Sony is also adding a web tool that finally allows you to deactivate your account from old systems, saving you the hassle of a long customer support call in the event that your PS3 fails and you need to recover your games on a new console.

Game sharing was always one of the more interesting things that PSN brought to the table, allowing you to “bring” games to your friend’s house or share them with a family member’s account when you were home for the holidays. While reports of abuse certainly came up, most gamers probably used the system exactly as intended.

Paring down the total number of systems probably won’t impact too many people, but it’s still a strange thing to do so far into the development cycle. The comments section of the PlayStation blog shows a pretty clear resistance to the idea, so we’ll just have to see how it plays out.

What do you think of the new reduced sharing limit?

PoV: Pre-Order Bonuses and Review-Proof Games

Posted Oct 25, 2011 at 4:42PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: arkham city, battlefield 3, modern warfare 3, pre-order bonuses, skyrim, skyward sword

Competing pre-order bonuses and insane media hype have changed the gaming world forever, creating an entire collection of games immune from criticism.

I was talking to a friend the other night about some of the upcoming titles this holiday season, and he pointed out something that I hadn’t yet considered regarding the motivation for competitive pre-order bonuses. While I originally thought that the different bonuses were offered by different retailers in order to sway gamers from one location to the other, my friend noted that from the developer/publisher point of view, it doesn’t really matter where you buy your game.

Take Arkham City, for example: GameStop had challenge maps, Best Buy had Robin DLC, Amazon had a digital-only collector’s book and Toys R Us had an action figure. No matter where you ended up buying the game, Rocksteady still ended up with some of your money. As gamers interested in the title, our role has been switched from finding good games to buy to finding the best pre-order value. At some point, we stopped waiting to see what the industry or critics would say about a game and started buying on faith, usually based on previous experiences.

This pre-order mania has created games that are, in essence, review-proof. If you pre-ordered Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Skyward Sword, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3 and Arkham City (all sequels!), then it’s not really going to matter what anyone in the gaming press has to say about the title. Your money is already spent, and you’re already invested in the experience. When several retailers offer competing pre-order deals, it only helps the game publisher cement its separation from the review process – after all, if you want that exclusive content, you’ll have to buy the game long before you can read a comprehensive review.

Of course, it’s worth noting that when all the big titles are sequels, gamers have a generally good idea of what to expect. We’re also lavished with demos and betas, so perhaps the review process has simply shifted to the perception and experiences of gamers rather than the select few people that receive advance review copies.

What do you think? Are pre-order bonuses helping to protect games from critical reviews? Is it fair that some locations have exclusive content that other gamers won’t be able to access?

Halo 4 Has a New Graphics Engine (Sort of)

Posted Oct 24, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: 343 industries, combat evolved anniversary, halo

Master Chief’s hotly anticipated return is getting a minor graphical overhaul courtesy of 343 Industries. But how much change is too much?

Halo 4 is looking like it’s going to be one of the biggest releases of 2012, if not in terms of sales then definitely in terms of hype. It’s a big moment for the still-unproven 343 Industries, whose only contribution to the world of games so far is a pretty lame Xbox 360 Dashboard app. Details on what exactly we can expect in Halo 4 are slim; mostly we’re getting the basic developer line of “amazing action sequences” and “incredible set pieces” we get every time a top title returns.

Game Informer recently snagged Kiki Wolfkill (rad name) from 343 Industries and while she didn’t get specific about in-game plot events or the return of fan favorite characters, she was able to shed just a little bit of light on what sort of graphics experience is planned for this new reboot of the Halo franchise:

“It’s different from Anniversary. This is an engine based on some of the past Halo tech for sure. But it’s also something this team has been working on to sort of optimize it for what we’re doing. It’s a completely internal piece of technology, but it is based on a lot of the Halo foundational tech.”

While it’s nice to know that Halo 4 will receive a much bigger visual upgrade than what we’ve seen in the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, it’s a little troubling to find out that the development team is using words like “optimized” and “past Halo tech.” I’m sure 343 feels the pressure of the community and is working hard to make Halo 4 the best game they can, but messing with the old engine and applying a few minor upgrades isn’t going to be enough to really bring the game into the next generation.

Some sneaky gamers have managed to pull a bit of Halo 4 alpha footage and post it to the web, and for the most part, it looks like Halo 3. Hopefully that’s just a rough cut.

Are you confident that 343 can handle Halo 4, or are you concerned with their lack of experience?

BioWare's got more 'amazing things' planned for the future

Posted Oct 10, 2011 at 2:55AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming, PS3 Tags: BioWare, mass effect 3

Although the trilogy of the Mass Effect series is wounding down to a close come 2012, there is still much to look forward to from its developers, BioWare, that's for sure.

Series Executive Producer and Project Director for Mass Effect 3, Casey Hudson, sat down in a recent interview to talk about their upcoming title, their feelings on its end, and on their future plans.

While we already have a ton of details pouring out everyday about Mass Effect 3, it does remain curious how the developers are taking it, the fact that this is going to be Shepard's last outing. "It feels very satisfying," said Casey.

"We're looking forward to giving Shepard's story a satisfying conclusion and letting all of the players' hard work in fighting the Reapers pay off. We're going to new territory on an emotional level, and that's what will make Mass Effect 3 eve more satisfying to deliver to players who may only be prepared for a conventional videogame story."

Despite the many accolades that the developer has won in the past - both from award-giving bodies and critics alike - they still are on their toes, ensuring that the fans will be able to get what they paid for in terms of content. "More importanly, this is the beginning and end of the biggest events so far in the Mass Effect universe, so it's an opportunity for new players to join fans of the series in experiencing this final war against the Reapers.

It's all taken to a much higher scale than we've attempted before. And the best part is that we're doing things on an emotional level that represent exciting new creative risks that I think players will appreciate."

As for their plans in the future, this is what he had to say: "We have some amazing things planned for the future, including an animated film being developed by Funimation, and a major motion picture in the works at Legendary Pictures. I think the movie will propel the Mass Effect universe to new levels of success as it finds an even wider audience, and we're certainly interested in continuing to build on the universe through future games."

Mass Effect 3 is set for a release next year, and has so far been confirmed to have multiplayer. Meanwhile, talks of a PSN Pass requirement is also in the air, but that's yet to be made final or official.

NBA 2K12 Puts Heat at #1

Posted Oct 7, 2011 at 2:33PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: 2K Sports, LeBron James, miami heat, nba 2k12

Miami holds the top slot despite losing the NBA championship to the Mavericks – who are somehow ranked #5.

Team rankings in sports video games have rarely been 100% accurate, and it looks like this trend is continuing in 2K Sports’ newest iteration of the “NBA 2K” franchise. While the Mavericks managed to crush the Heat in the finals earlier this year, 2K Sports has them ranked in fifth place overall in “NBA 2K12.” Taking the top spot is the Miami Heat, who also has the best player in the league – LeBron James.

I know the rankings in “2K12” are aimed more at a team’s potential in the upcoming season, but it seems like a pretty big leap to drop Dallas from the best team in the league to number five. Then again, I’m not great with basketball, so maybe 2K Sport knows something that I don’t.

Here’s a full list of the teams and their respective rankings, courtesy of JustPushStart:

Miami Heat (1st Defense, 3rd Offense, 1st Overall)

Chicago Bulls (2nd Defense, 19th Offense, 2nd Overall)

Boston Celtics (6th Defense, 10th Offense, 3rd Overall)

Los Angeles Lakers (3rd Defense, 12th Offense, 4th Overall)

Dallas Mavericks (9th Defense, 1st Offense, 5th Overall)

Memphis Grizzlies (12th Defense, 4th Offense, 6th Overall)

Oklahoma City (13th Defense, 9th Offense, 7th Overall)

San Antonio Spurs (4th Defense, 7th Offense, 8th Overall)

Orlando Magic (5th Defense, 13th Offense, 9th Overall)

Denver Nuggets (20th Defense, 2nd Offense, 10th Overall)

Portland Trailblazers (14th Defense, 20th Offense, 11th Overall)

Atlanta Hawks (15th Defense, 8th Offense, 12th Overall)

Phoenix Suns (18th Defense, 6th Offense, 13th Overall)

Utah Jazz (17th Defense, 15th Offense, 14th Overall)

New Orleans Hornets (7th Defense, 16th Offense, 15th Overall)

Philadelphia 76ers (10th Defense, 17th Offense, 16th Overall)

Los Angeles Clippers (19th Defense, 19th Offense, 17th Overall)

New York Knicks (28th Defense, 5th Offense, 18th Overall)

Houston Rockets (16th Defense, 22nd Offense, 19th Overall)

Golden State Warriors (23rd Defense, 11th Offense, 20th Overall)

Indiana Pacers (11th Defense, 21st Offense, 21st Overall)

Milwaukee Bucks (8th Defense, 23rd Offense, 22nd Overall)

Detroit Pistons (29th Defense, 14th Offense, 23rd Overall)

Sacramento Kings (24th Defense, 24th Offense, 24th Overall)

Washington Wizards (25th Defense, 25th Offense, 25th Overall)

New Jersey Nets (26th Defense, 27th Offense, 26th Overall)

Cleveland Cavaliers (21st Defense, 26th Offense, 27th Overall)

Toronto Rapters (22nd Defense, 28th Offense, 28th Overall)

Charlotte Bobcats (27th Defense, 29th Offense, 29th Overall)

Minnesota Timberwolves (30th Defense, 30th Offense, 30th Overall)

What team are you planning on playing as? Hometown loyalty has me sticking with the Spurs.

TV On Your Xbox is Now a Reality

Posted Oct 5, 2011 at 1:00PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: comcast, HBO, syfy, Verizon, xbox live, xbox tv

Rumors of pending deals with Comcast, HBO and Verizon pay off with a massive list of partners for the Xbox 360’s future television capabilities.

We reported previously on the rumors regarding the upcoming expansion of the Xbox 360 dashboard into some kind of cable box. As of today, it looks like the rumors are confirmed and we’ve got a massive list of participating television organizations, courtesy of Microsoft’s own Major Nelson. The list contains many names we thought would show up, as well as a few surprising entries that weren’t mentioned anywhere in previous rumor-based stories.

Zelda Anniversary Takeover Day announced

Posted Sep 28, 2011 at 3:11AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Wii Tags: Nintendo, Zelda

The 25th year of The Legend of Zelda definitely has got all the fans up in a frenzy of excitement. Yet another event was announced in honor of the said occassion, this time courtesy of videogame festival GameCity.

The said event is the Zelda Anniversary Takeover Day, happening in Nottingham's Old Market Square, on October 29th, Saturday. Basically, the whole square will be magically transformed in a Hyrulean market, much to the definite delight of fans. Among the many activities line up for this festivity are the make-your-own sword and shield booths, or the Ocarina lessons. If you just want to chill out, then you can head over to the LonLon Milk bar and have a sweet fix. If you complete all these, then you will be rewarded with pieces of the Triforce, and tehreby be able to complete the Hero's Quest.

Probably the best thing about all of these, however, is the fact that the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, will be available for hands-on play throughout the day. That's some three full weeks ahead of folks who are just going to have to wait till the game comes out to the market on the official date of November 18th.

Of course, there's plenty more to do there, as the Takeover Day is just a part of a bigger ongoing occassion, which is the GameCity festival. So be sure to make your way around and enjoy the sights, sounds, play, and more.

Nintendo has launched an official 25th Anniversary Website, where fans can take on a little nice trip down memory lane. If you can't come to Nottingham for the Takeover Day, then you can just head over to Los Angeles in October for the Zelda orchestra concert.
