Calm Down: Blizzard F2P Rumors are Out of Hand

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 5:48PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: Blizzard, BlizzCon, diablo, dota, World of Warcraft

One random source does not a story make.

The gaming internet exploded earlier today with rumors that Blizzard, creator of World of Warcraft and Diablo, had a top-secret free-to-play project in the works. This news scoop came courtesy of Develop, a gaming news site that apparently has the inside dope on what’s going on over at Blizzard HQ. Naturally, the rumor quickly spun into a firestorm.

Here’s the problem—no one stopped to ask Blizzard. And when someone (GameSpot) finally got around to doing it, the company simply said, “Yeah, we’re working on a F2P game. It’s called Blizzard DOTA, and we announced it at BlizzCon.”

So, by all accounts, this looks like another case of the gaming press putting the cart before the horse. Blizzard is indeed working on a F2P game – it’s been confirmed that DOTA will run on a microtransaction model – but there’s nothing particularly “top secret” about it.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along!

Unless, of course, the response from Blizz was all a clever ruse…

What do you think Blizz is up to?

Origin Brings in the Bucks

Posted Feb 2, 2012 at 3:55PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, EA, origin, Remedy Entertainment, selectsoft

EA’s proprietary digital distribution service has banked $100 million since launching in June.

If you search around the web a bit, one thing you’ll find no shortage of is complaints about EA’s Origin service. Missing/vanishing games, indifferent support reps and a myriad of other problems plague the online platform, which is still very young in terms of its developmental cycle.

These troubles don’t seem to have fazed EA much, however. The company confirmed earlier this week that sales through Origin have been quite nice indeed, with the service brining in over $100 million since launching in the summer of 2011. EA is also boasting that the Origin client has been downloaded over nine million times, with a concurrent user peak of one million.

These numbers came alongside an announcement that new games from new publishers would be making their way to Origin – publishers like Remedy Entertainment, Focus Home Interactive, Iceberg Interactive, Macro Games, Legendo Entertainment and Selectsoft.

Of course, it’s hard for gamers not to take this news with a bitter squint, since a large number of Origin installs are the direct result of EA requiring the service on blockbuster games like Battlefield 3. When you force players to buy and play a game through one specific mechanism, you’re naturally going to see it begrudgingly adopted on a large scale.

What do you think of Origin’s numbers? And, how has Origin been treating you?

Wii U controller: More secrets revealed

Wii U controller: More secrets revealed

The next-gen console is more than meets the eye.

With the recent announcment of the Nintendo Network.

Via [Gamasutra] http://gamasutra.com/view/news/39877/Wii_U_controllers_latest_secret_revealed.php

Just when you think you know everything about Nintendo's innovative -- and risky -- new Wii U tablet controller, the company throws another factor into the mix.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed this week that the touch-enabled controller will also implement near-field communication (NFC) tech. As an NFC device, the controller will be able to interact with objects equipped with NFC tags.

It's the same set of standards used in some smartphones and smart cards. By touching an NFC-tagged item -- or bringing it in very close range -- with an NFC device, the objects interact via radio communication.

"By installing this functionality, it will become possible to create cards and figurines that can electronically read and write data via noncontact NFC and to expand the new play format in the video game world," Iwata said during an earnings briefing.

"Adoption of this functionality will enable various other possibilities such as using it as a means of making micropayments," he said, a hint at Nintendo's expanding digital distribution plans.

NFC technology has been around for years. But for game development, one interesting implementation of NFC only recently saw commercial release: Activision's console game Skylanders, in which players can buy NFC-tagged figurines, place them on an NFC-equipped pod, and bring those figurines to life in-game.

Iwata described the tech in terms of the Wii U, but did not give specifics on implementation. "The NFC I'm referring to here is the noncontact NFC standard that is compatible with FeliCa and MIFARE, and is expected to be widely used around the world in the near future," he said.

The next-gen console is more than meets the eye...and the hand apparently.

Vita Sales Slump in Second Week

Posted Dec 28, 2011 at 4:04PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: 3ds sales, ps vita sales, ps3 sales, psp sales, wii sales

Despite getting off to a roaring start, the PS Vita has completely tanked at is rolls beyond the first seven days.

In Japan, PS Vita certainly made its presence known during its launch week. The device moved over 320,000 units – putting it on par with first-week 3DS sales and far outstripping the initial haul of the original PSP. But the momentum doesn’t seem to have carried beyond early adopters, as the device managed to sell only 72,000 units in its second week.

Now, 72,000 devices sold certainly isn’t a terrible number, but it’s worth noting that the Vita was outsold by the 3DS, Wii, PS3 and original PSP – not a great sign for a device that’s supposedly the next handheld revolution. Gamers just aren’t flocking to the system as Sony might have hoped.

The software numbers aren’t any better, with not a single Vita game breaking the top 20. Of course, it’s hard to get a bead on exactly how well Vita games are selling, since many are available for download through PSN and Sony has yet to release their sales figures.

Vita is still young and we’ll have to see how the whole thing plays out, but dropping from 320,000 sold to 72,000 sold in just one week (in the middle of the holiday rush) certainly isn’t a good omen.

What do you think? Do these numbers indicate a problem for Vita, or is it just the natural progression of a new device finding its feet?

EA Details SWTOR Early Access Program

Posted Dec 10, 2011 at 10:00AM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: EA, Star Wars, star wars early access, the old republic

Did you pre-order Star Wars: The Old Republic? You’ll want to check out EA’s early access information.

Gamers that choose to pre-order the upcoming Star Wars-themed MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will have access to the game a few days before the rest of the gaming populace. This is old news. What’s not old news, however, is the specific information regarding how that early access will operate, and when it will begin. Thanks to EA, we now have a detailed overview of what early adopters can expect.

Here’s the deal: If you pre-order SWTOR and register the pre-order code on the official website for the game, you can land yourself in the game up to seven days before its official launch. The date of your early access is determined by when you register your code, as EA is performing a staggered rollout, meaning the sooner you register, the more time you’ll have. The staggered rollout is likely an EA plan to keep servers manageable at the first crush of launch, or it could just be incentive to pre-order sooner rather than later.

Access starts on December 13 - EA will send you an email letting you know when your early access has been activated. And remember, even if you’re one of the several thousands of people that had your pre-order canceled by Wal-Mart, as long as you register the pre-order code, you’ll still get your early access to the game.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is due December 20, and is expected to be a major force in the world of MMOs. Have you pre-ordered a copy, or are you waiting to see how the game goes for everyone else?

Nintendo 3DS Hits 1.65 Million Sold

Posted Nov 12, 2011 at 3:36PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: mario kart 7, nintendo 3ds, skyward sword, super mario 3d land

Though gamers and industry analysts have expressed concerns over the 3DS’s marketability, the handheld is finally making headway after a rocky start.

If you’re one of the people that though the Nintendo 3DS was destined to be a disaster, it looks like you’ll have to put your “Up Yours, Nintendo” shirt away - at least for the next few months. The company has reported that the Nintendo 3DS has moved 1.65 million units in the U.S. since its launch earlier this year, after a much-needed price drop helped to boost sales.

Nintendo is hoping that the 3DS will outstrip sales for its previous handheld, the Nintendo DS, which sold 2.37 million units in its first 12 months. With the holiday season pending, it’s possible they will actually meet this goal.

Another thing fueling the increased demand for the 3DS? Games. Though remakes like Ocarina of Time and StarFox 64 have helped to secure the 3DS a place in the hearts of passionate gamers and early adopters, upcoming titles like Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are sure to move a few more units. Despite the new titles, Nintendo still has a serious software problem; those two games and Skyward Sword are pretty much all they have going on for the remainder of the year.

It seems like every time Nintendo releases a new console, people argue about whether or not it’s a good idea. The original DS didn’t get much love, if I recall correctly, until the Lite version surfaced, and the now-hilarious quotes from Sony regarding the Wii’s viability should be etched on the back of every PS Move controller shipped. But Nintendo always manages to find a way to make it work (except, you know, that one time) and it looks like the 3DS is here to stay.

Do you have a 3DS? Would you consider buying one based on these new titles?

Wii Homebrew: Abuse Wii v0.8.682.1

Posted Sep 19, 2011 at 8:54AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii Tags: homebrew, hunterz

Wii homebrew game developer HunterZ brings us a revival of Crack dot Com's 1995 game, Abuse. The 2D side-scrolling platform title brings us a dark adventure, ironically set against the backdrop of "beautiful lighting, realistic animation" and, not so ironically, "nasty alien-like creatures to destroy."

The Wii port of course had to adopt console-specific adjustments to cater to the Wii's technology. There are a couple of ways to install Abuse Wii on your console: by SD/USB or via Dolphin 3.0.

By Wii:

Abuse Wii can run from either SD or USB. Just copy the abuse folder to /apps/, and the game will detect the game path by determining where boot.dol was launched from. Note that the data/ subfolder must be present for the game to work, and the save/ subfolder must be present if you want to allow settings and saved game files to be created.

After installing on the Wii, the Abuse icon should show up under the Homebrew Channel. Just click it and select Load.

By Dolphin 3.0:

Abuse Wii can also run under Dolphin 3.0, although it doesn't seem to run very well. In order to do this, you must first run the emulator once to create User/Wii/sd.raw. Then, close Dolphin and use a tool like Winimage to inject an /apps/ folder and a copy of the abuse/ folder tree inside of that.

Running

After installing to User/Wii/sd.raw, select Config->Wii->Insert SD Card and Graphics->External Frame Buffer->Real. Then, select Open and browse to a copy of the game's boot.dol file. Finally, select Play to run the game.

For the controls:

Abuse was originally designed for keyboard + mouse on the PC. For the Wii port, these have been replaced with Nunchuk (or Classic Controller Pro held in left hand) + Wiimote.

For more of the instructions, follow the source link below.

Yelawolf's new music video is Driver: San Francisco inspired

Posted Aug 25, 2011 at 5:17AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, PC Gaming, Wii Tags: driver: san francisco, Ubisoft

Yelawolf is taking the wheels and rollin' over to the beats of Driver: San Francisco. Ubisoft confirmed their collaboration with the recording artist earlier today by coming out witha teaser for a brand new music video, inspired by the upcoming multiplatform racing title.

The track is called "No Hands", and the music video was directed by Erick Peyton, produced by Complex Media.

Said Yelawolf of this collaboration, "My aggression on the record matches perfectly with the attitude of the game's main character, Tanner. So when Ubisoft approached me with the opportunity to work together on the video, it made all the sense in the world to find a creative way to pair the song and game together."

On a personal note, Yelawolf confessed of his love for old cars such as the one in Driver: SF, and so it was not a difficult decision for him to make. "I'm also abig admirer of old-school muscle cars and Driver: San Francisco is loaded with them! It was dope to get behind the wheel of the real-life version of the car that's in the video game."

They're not quite ready to debut the full video, but as mentioned earlier, they do have a teaser video, which you can check out below.

Driver: San Francisco comes out for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. It's pre-order price was also recently slashed, so it should make for a pretty good deal. If you're also into old-school music forms apart from old-school cars, DSF also's got you covered, thanks to its vinyl collectible.
