Syndicate Dev has a Message for Pirates

Posted Feb 29, 2012 at 5:47PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: DRM, Starbreeze Studios, syndicate

And a job offer.

There’s no question that piracy is a major concern in the games industry. While some pirates do turn into customers and there’s something to be said for how much DRM sucks, it doesn’t change the fact that pirating a game is, on some level of the word, theft. However, game developers tend to take different approaches to the pirate community—some declare war and some, like Starbreeze Studios, hold out an olive branch.

If you download and install the company’s latest game, Syndicate, via Origin or any other legitimate means, you’ll notice an .nfo file hidden in the game’s directory. .nfo files are usually found in pirated software—they tell you how to go about setting up the illicit copy and who is responsible for the hack, crack or upload.

But this .nfo file is different, in that it was placed there by Starbreeze devs. The .nfo file contains a description of the game and some install directions. They even made an ASCII logo. And at the bottom, the devs dropped this message:

“Over a hundred people spent several years of their lives making this game.

If you like what you play, please consider purchasing it if you haven't

The studio also reached out to gamers with talents in game design, art, programming and sound design—perhaps some gifted game pirates will take the opportunity to switch sides to the development side of things. You can see the full file here.

What do you think of speaking directly to pirates? Better than restrictive DRM?

[Game Informer]

3DS Owners Screwed Out of Binding of Isaac

Posted Feb 29, 2012 at 4:34PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds eshop, binding of isaac, edmund mcmillen, Nintendo

Nintendo apparently doesn’t want to risk offending its customers.

Indie Dev Edmund McMillen confirmed via Twitter earlier today that the Nintendo 3DS eShop would officially be declining to host his latest game, The Binding of Isaac. Citing “questionable religious content,” Nintendo has elected to dump the game from its eShop lineup.

Here’s McMillen’s tweet in full:

“Attention: After a long internal debate Nintendo has decided NOT to allow the Binding of Isaac on the 3ds. :(“

He continued, quite hilariously:

“As many assumed the reasons were due to the games "questionable religious content". Thank GOD Steam exists!”

The Binding of Isaac has moved over 450,000 copies on PC, and this silly controversy will likely spur more sales than the game would have gained with a quiet eShop release. Still, it’s an odd decision on the part of Nintendo and a bad precedent to set in terms of censorship.

What do you think of Nintendo’s decision? Should game companies choose which games you can play, or should the choice be left up to the consumer?

UK Games Retailer Loses Mass Effect 3

Posted Feb 29, 2012 at 3:26PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: EA, game group, mass effect 3, Nintendo, tekken 3d, the last story, Ubisoft, vita

Game Group’s financial troubles don’t appear to be getting better.

Game Group, the company behind the UK’s massive Game retail chain, has been in dire financial straits for some time now. Game Group has been struggling to regain its market position and turn the tides, but so far, things aren’t looking too hot. The company has already lost Nintendo support due to financial woes, and it looks like EA is next in line.

In a memo to employees, the company explained that it held negotiations with a number of distributors in the interest of protecting its business. In the meeting, Game Group explained to its industry partners that it was having a few problems, and needed more manageable credit terms while the company worked through its issues. Apparently, EA didn’t agree.

This means that after SSX comes out on Friday, no new EA games will hit Game store shelves—including Mass Effect 3. Players who pre-ordered ME3 at Game will be given £5 extra for their trouble. No word on how this affects players who pre-ordered the very limited Collector’s Edition.

In recent weeks, Game has missed The Last Story, Tekken 3D Prime Edition and all of Ubisoft’s Vita launch games. It’s sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy—Game’s sales tank, so it can’t get new games. It doesn’t have new games, so it’s sales continue to tank. Any way you cut it, Game is in a tough spot.

Do you think losing EA will be the final straw in Game’s collapse?

PSN Down for “Significant” Maintenance

Posted Feb 29, 2012 at 2:12PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: playstation blog, Playstation Home, PlayStation Store, psn, sen, Sony

Sony leaves players in the dark for 14 hours, starting tomorrow.

Sony has just announced that its online gaming service, PlayStation Network, will be pulled offline for roughly 14 hours tomorrow. The company confirmed this through the PlayStation Blog, where it wrote that PSN would be coming down for “significant maintenance.”

PSN will be down from 8:00am PST to 10pm PST—beyond that, there isn’t much information on what exactly Sony is updating or performing maintenance on. The company has yet to respond to press inquiries on the subject, but we’ll keep you posted as details roll out.

Sony will force log-out anyone on PSN tomorrow; no PSN users will be able to log in until maintenance is complete. The PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home will be inaccessible as well. Players will be unable to play online games or access their PSN accounts. Big bummer for anyone that just picked up SSX.

Speculation on the downtime ranges from Vita-related updates to the PSN/SEN transfer, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

What are you going to do with your downtime hours?

Pretty Pictures: SimCity 5

Posted Feb 29, 2012 at 1:05PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: EA, Maxis, PC Gamer, simcity 5

Just a few days after Maxis hinted at a big GDC announcement, it looks like their surprise has been outed.

It’s been a while since we last saw the SimCity franchise. The last game in the series, SimCity Societies, launched in 2007 to mixed reviews. Since then, Maxis has remained mum on whether it would be revisiting the series. Until, of course, last week, when EA hinted that the company had an enormous reveal planned for this year’s Game Developers Conference.

No information was given on what Maxis might have up its sleeve, but most people immediately began to assume that a new SimCity was on the table. And, it turns out, they may have been right.

Thanks to some scanned images from a German magazine, we now have a few details and screenshots/concept art from what could be SimCity 5. The game will take place 20 years after other iterations of the franchise, and will feature more flexible city designs that don’t depend so much on blocks. The game will also feature a new graphics engine and – gasp – multiplayer in the form of global leaderboards.

Here’s some of the shots and concept art, courtesy of NeoGaf:

Are you ready for another SimCity?

Game Development for Next-Gen Xbox Officially Begins

Posted Dec 9, 2011 at 4:38PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Crysis, Crytek, ryse

A Crytek employee spills the beans on his LinkedIn page. Oops!

Ah, Reddit. A place for kittens, Anderson Cooper’s disapproval and the occasional tidbit of gaming news. This particular story comes courtesy of wwm0nkey, who discovered an interesting note on a Crytek developer’s LinkedIn page a few hours ago.

Apparently, Crytek has already shifted over to developing games for the next-gen Xbox. Which is good news, considering that if anyone is going to make a next-gen game that can push the limits of the new hardware, it’s going to be the developers of Crysis.

Here’s the quote from the developer’s page:

RYSE (X-Box Next Gen) Pushing boundaries of next generation gaming, RYSE is an original AAA IP from Crytek slated to deliver an Epic first-person melee experience in the Roman Empire.

• Designed, created, implemented and scripted numerous game levels using all facets of Sandbox Editor and CryEngine.

• Lead and mentored Jr. Level Designers and Level Designers as well as collaborated with colleagues across multiple disciplines to ensure winning efforts.

• Championed original Game Design for Tablet title exclusive to Crytek and expanding the franchise to include new genre of video game.

We’ve heard a little bit about RYSE in the past, but it looks like the game has officially been pushed to the next Xbox device. Since games are already in development for the new system (and the new PlayStation as well), it looks like we may be a bit closer to an official announcement than we may have thought.

Alternatively, the whole thing could be a hilarious misunderstanding. What do you think?

Update Your Nvidia Drivers, Improve Battlefield 3 Performance

Posted Oct 25, 2011 at 5:51PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, crysis 2, drivers, nVidia, rage

Nvidia has just released a set of brand new drivers for their graphics cards that promise a marked increase in performance for today’s Battlefield 3 release.

If you’re one of the many PC gamers that picked up Battlefield 3 today (or last night), it’s fitting to assume you updated your graphics card drivers before you started the install. After all, with the insane problems we saw during the Rage launch, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you didn’t, now is the time to get those drivers updated and ensure your system is running at peak performance.

Nvidia card owners are getting a little help from the manufacturer, who has released a brand new set of drivers specifically for the launch of Battlefield 3. The new drivers offer what Nvidia claims to be an 11% improvement in performance, which is more than enough to make or break a heated multiplayer match. With Battlefield 3 being hailed as one of the best-looking PC games ever, it’s only fitting that you’d need to upgrade or update something in order to experience it in its full glory.

Here’s some technical jargon from the Nvidia website:

For Battlefield 3 we’ve improved performance by up to 11% since the release of the GeForce 285.38 beta drivers, have included several compatibility enhancements, a new and improved SLI profile, and a 3D Vision profile. Similarly, Rage has received enhancements since the release of the same drivers, and Batman: Arkham City compatibility has been implemented.

As mentioned, updates contained within the earlier beta drivers have been carried over, such as the many performance improvements made to games --between the release of the 280.26 WHQL drivers and today’s 285.62 WHQL drivers-- when running on our entire range of 500-Series graphics cards.

On the GeForce GTX 580, for example, SLI users can expect to receive frame rate boosts of up to:

• 13% in Metro 2033,

• 8% in STALKER: Call of Pripyat,

• 7% in Civilization V,

• 7% in F1 2010,

• 5% in Crysis 2 with the DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade enabled,

• 5% in Lost Planet 2,

• And 5% in Mafia 2.

So, even if you’re not playing Battlefield 3, you may as well pick up the new drivers. You can find the full list of changes and affected games by clicking this link, and you can bounce over to Nvidia and download the new drivers by clicking this one. Party on!

Also, if you are playing BF3 – how’s it going? I haven’t had a chance to pick up my copy yet.

Console Versions of Crysis Support 1080p, 720p

Posted Oct 3, 2011 at 4:00PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Crysis, Crytek, PlayStation 3, psn, xbox live

Crytek’s hours-long hardware demo finally makes its debut on consoles, and much to the surprise of PC purists everywhere, manages to run at full-HD resolution.

There was a time when “Crysis” represented everything that was possible in the realm of PC gaming. While the game wasn’t really that great (be honest with yourselves), on a killer system the graphics were simply unmatched. Of course, the original “Crysis” is now three years old, and “Crysis 2” has taken the new role of “mediocre game with incredible graphics.”

Until recently, it was thought that “Crysis” would never be seen on console systems. The game’s tough hardware demands made it seem all but impossible to bring the game to the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 without a massive loss in visual quality. Most of us were surprised to learn, earlier this month, that the game would be headed to both systems via direct digital download.

Now, it seems, we have even more reason to be excited. In an interview with Now Gamer, Crytek employee Franziska Lehnert had this simple but exciting statement to offer on “Crysis’s” console performance:

“The original Crysis will support both 720p and 1080p on both consoles.”

Pow! Do you hear that PC gamers?! We console folks get everything you get, only maybe dumbed down a bit and definitely much, much later. “Crysis” is going to output at full 1080p, meaning you’ll finally get to make some use out of your massive, expensive LED television. Even though the 360 and PS3 support 1080p output, a large number of games stick to 720p due to the way the higher resolution roughs up the hardware. 1080p support for “Crysis” is a pleasant surprise, ensuring console gamers get the best experience possible on one of the most attractive-looking games around.

Just look at these screenshots :

So, gamers - are you planning on picking up a digital copy of “Crysis” this week? It still looks as pretty as ever.

Original Crysis coming to PSN, XBL next week

Fans who can't get enough of Crysis can now have the chance to get the original title from the PSN and XBL.

EA confirmed today that the original title will definitely be available for download on the PS3 and Xbox 360's online service come next week, specifically on October 4th.

To enjoy this game to the fullest, you'll need to first shell out UK£15.99 (about US$ 25) on PSN, and 1600MS Points on XBLA.

Meanwhile, just last week,Crysis 2 was also confirmed for XBLA's Games on Demand. Looks like EA's definitely bent on milking the Crysis cow for all its worth. There should be nothing wrong with that, especially because it's still very much in demand anyway.

Steam loses Dragon Age II

Posted Jul 28, 2011 at 4:29AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: dragon age ii, Electronic Arts, Steam

Steam isn't losing steam any time soon, but it's most definitely losing all EA games, most likely, in the near future. The latest game to be pulled out from their games library is Dragon Age II.

The game was pulled out by the publisher just after Legacy, its first downloadable expansion was released. Once again, Electronic Arts remains mum as to all this pullout activity ensuing over with Steam, but they remain firm in their claim that they are still hoping to reach an amenable agreement with Valve.

Reiterated SVP of Global E-Commerce, David DeMartini, "At EA, we offer our games and content to all major download services including GameStop, Amazon, Direct2Drive and Steam. Unfortunately, Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to sell downloadable content. No other download service has adopted this practice. Consequently some of our games have been removed by Steam. We hope to work out an agreement to keep our games on Steam."

But although Dragon Age II has been removed, Dragon Age: Origins remains to be included in Steam's library. Last month, it was Crysis 2 that made headlines upon being removed from Steam. Despite what they're saying, I can see it coming, EA will eventually pull out from Steam altogether. It's just a matter of time, really.

Steam isn't losing steam any time soon, but it's most definitely losing all EA games, most likely, in the near future.

PoV: Can EA Origins take over Steam?

Posted Jul 12, 2011 at 2:15AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PC Gaming, PoV Tags: EA, ea origins, Steam, valve

EA's keen on expanding its business venture, with its latest project being EA Origins, their new download service. Now, a lot of people can't help but see it as some sort of competition for Valve's Steam. The suspicion rose all the more when Crysis 2 was taken out from the Steam Store.

EA maintains their ground, however, that they are not gearing for a fight. EA's David DeMartini tried to downplay the issue in a recent interview with Gamasutra, saying that, "Obviously when a big publisher comes up with their own application and launches a site where you can buy games directly, people immediately jump up to the conclusion that means they're going to exclude everyone else. "

"We believe in absolute freedom of choice to allow customers to buy through whatever retail outlet... as long as they're buying an EA game, we're delighted. We feel like if you buy the product with Origin, where we're going on a long-term basis is we'll integrate some of the Origin feature set into many of our highest-profile IP... but by all means if your preferred retailer is Best Buy or Direct2Drive or Impulse or Steam or Amazon... we're going to make our product available to you."

To further justify, he concludes with this statement: "I am absolutely not at this point saying, 'hey, it's Origin versus Steam.' It's never been about that."

Sounds like all should be fine and dandy, right? But if you look closely, it sounds rather forced. Take note of that operative "at this point" phrase. But of course they're looking to win over Steam, at least insofar as their catalogue is concerned.

They'll start with their own titles, and then most likely, they'll expand to other services and products. Question is, can they really handle the bull by its horns? The atmosphere of competition definitely is thick in the air. But frankly, one really can't take it against EA if they choose to go this path given that it's about the only course they have if they want EA Origins to take off. What better way to promote your own service but through your own existing brand and products, right?

Nonetheless, Steam remains to be the biggest online distributor in the market today. And while there doesn't seem to be any visible and solid threat from EA Origins, there most certainly is an impending one. With EA's vast catalogue of titles most likely to not be seeing Steam's light of day ever again, they will have to bank on their roster from other publishers still supporting their service.

Despite their denials of an existing competition, though, if you were to take sides, whose would you pick? EA Origins or Steam?

The fight is brewing, and no denial from either camp can temper the terse atmosphere.
