Activision Buying Time in Modern Warfare Trial

Posted Apr 10, 2012 at 3:17PM EST by Todd B Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, EA, Infinity Ward, jason west, modern warfare, Vince Zampella

Remember that time Infinity Ward exploded and everyone was super pissed? Well, the legal aspect of that boondoggle is still happening.

The year was 2009. Activision, riding high on the insanely profitable Modern Warfare 2, was looking for ways to keep the profits rolling in and the games rolling out. Infinity Ward, the company behind the massive hit, was looking for ways in which to keep a larger share of those profits. The end result? A massive controversy that resulted in the ousting of two prominent devs.

Vince Zampella and Jason West, co-founders of Infinity Ward and the creative minds behind the Modern Warfare franchise, were either fired from Activision, or they quit. It depends on who you ask. The actions were apparently the result of serious contractual problems, with Activision claiming the devs were up to no good with other studios, while the devs claim Activision was holding back enormous royalty payments to them and the rest of the IW crew.

The whole thing has been rolled up into a lawsuit, which was scheduled to go before a judge on May 7. However, the case is now set for May 29, thanks to a delay request on the part of Activision. The company isn’t yet talking about why it elected to push the trial back, but we’re keeping an eye out for official statements.

There are several big things at stake in this court case. Number one, the enormous royalty payments Zampella and West claim that Activision owes them. Number two, damages ordered by the court. Oh, and number three: Ownership of the Modern Warfare brand.

If West and Zampella win partial ownership of the franchise, they’ll be able to make their own Modern Warfare games. Seriously. Games that would more than likely be published by EA. Activision is naturally fighting hard, so we’ll just have to wait and see where this whole thing goes.

What do you think happened with Zampella, West and Activision? Where do you think the lawsuit will go?

Skyrim Patch 1.4 Details

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 4:30PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Bethesda, patch 1.4, skyrim

Bethesda releases full patch notes for their latest Skyrim update, now in the certification testing.

It seems like it’s been forever since the launch of Skyrim, but millions of gamers are still spending their free time slaying dragons and “accidentally” murdering their followers. And, as is customary with Bethesda games, Skyrim still has a fair few issues interfering with players’ ability to fully enjoy the game.

The company is more than aware of Skyrim’s issues and has been working non-stop to get them fixed –especially the ever-present PS3 bug that makes the game nearly unplayable for some users.

Mario Kart 7 is Japan’s Best Selling Game of 2011

Posted Jan 17, 2012 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Dragon Quest, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, wii sports

Nintendo 3DS titles score the top three slots for 2011 sales.

Japan’s gaming market is very, very different from the one here in the west. Japanese gamers are big fans of portable titles, and they’re not really that into the AAA FPS blockbusters that seem to do so well in the U.S. and in Europe. With that in mind, the 2011 software sales tallies for Japan don’t really come as much of a surprise.

Mario Kart 7 landed firmly in first place, followed by Super Mario 3D Land. In fact, of the top ten games, five were exclusively available on a Nintendo console. The rest of the list belongs to the PlayStation 3, with not one Xbox 360 title breaking into the top ten.

Here’s the full list, courtesy of Edge:

01. Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 3DS)

02. Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 3DS)

03. Monster Hunter Tri G (Capcom, 3DS)

04. Final Fantasy Type-0 (Square Enix, PSP)

05. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, PS3)

06. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (Capcom, PSP)

07. Minna No Rhythm Tengoku (Nintendo, Wii)

08. Tales Of Xillia (Namco Bandai, PS3)

09. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 Professional (DS)

10. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii)

What’s really amazing about Mario Kart topping the charts for the year is that the game didn’t hit shelves until December 1. That means that every one of the 1.16 million units sold moved in just a rough 30-day period. Not too shabby there, Nintendo. Also interesting is Final Fantasy XIII-2’s presence on the list, despite the fact that the game opened relatively weak and many news outlets lamented it as a failure.

So what do these numbers tell us about the western market? Nothing at all, of course!

Avoiding Skyward Sword’s Game-Breaking Bug

Posted Dec 7, 2011 at 12:37PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: Legend of Zelda, Nintendo, skyward sword

The latest Legend of Zelda game has a massive, game-destroying glitch. Find out how to avoid it.

News started to spread a few days ago that some players were having difficulty with their copy of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Namely, that the game was stuck in some sort of frozen time state, where whatever events needed to occur to start the next section weren’t happening.

It turns out that there’s a huge bug in Skyward Sword, and if you happen to run into it, the only way to rescue your game file is to restore from an earlier save – a thing you can’t do on the Wii unless you’ve backed up to an external memory source. In short, this means that if you run into the bug, which occurs about 30 hours in, the only solution is starting your game from the beginning.

Here’s the bug, with minor spoilers: At some point in the game, you’ll be given the option to visit the Thunder, Fire, or Water Dragon dungeons. If you travel to the Thunder Dragon first and then speak with a certain Goron, your game will be forever frozen at that point – the events for the other two areas will not begin correctly.

You can avoid the glitch by simply completing the Fire and Water Dragon quests before speaking with the Thunder Dragon. Nintendo has confirmed that the bug exists and offered information on how to avoid it, but there’s no real way to patch games on the Wii – the bug here to stay, until new discs are printed.

What, if anything, do you think Nintendo should do about the bug?

Saturday Mash-Up: The Hottest QJ Posts of the Week

Posted Dec 3, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: battlefield 3, playstation vita memory, skyrim

Find out what your fellow QJers are talking about this week, as drama blooms from all corners.

Indie developers take a shot at Nintendo and Sony, GameStop leaked potential Vita memory card prices and Iran has a serious problem with one of the biggest games of the year. These are among the hottest news posts here on QJ, sparking up intense arguments and polite discussion from readers.

If you’re just sitting down for your Saturday reading, we’ve compiled five of the biggest stories from the week right here so you can get up to speed post-haste. Also, as is now Saturday tradition, I’ll be awarding one lucky/unlucky QJ reader the prestigious “Comment of the Week” award.

Without further ado, here’s your:

Should Nintendo and Sony Stop Making Consoles?

Indie and mobile developer Andy Payne thinks that Nintendo and Sony are limiting themselves by making their own hardware and developing software with exclusivity. His recommendation is that they stop worrying about hardware and focus entirely on software, distributing to mobile markets. What do you think?

Iran Bans Battlefield 3

The Iranian government is not pleased with the way Iran was treated in Battlefield 3, to the point of banning the game from sale in their country. The game’s primary offender? A staged attack by U.S. forces against Iran’s capital city of Tehran. There are two sides to this argument – you could argue that Iran is overreacting to a video game, but you could also argue that they’re justified in objecting to the content. Where do you land on this one?

Where and When Should the Next Assassin’s Creed Go?

We know Ubisoft is planning another Assassin’s Creed game, and it looks like they’re turning to their players for advice on where to set it. A leaked survey to fans of the franchise lists several possible locations, including the Victorian British Empire, Medieval China, and even the American Revolution. You can see the full list on the post and add your favorite location in the comments.

PlayStation Vita Memory Cards are Pricey

This is by far the most-commented story of the week – GameStop, using rough Yen conversions, posted prices for the proprietary memory cards that will be available for Sony’s Vita handheld, and gamers are not pleased with the cost. The smallest card, at 4GB, runs $29.99 – a far cry from what similarly sized non-Sony memory cards cost nowadays. Of course, Yen conversion is tricky, so we’ll have to wait on an official Sony announcement before throwing too big a hissy fit.

What is Your Game of the Year?

In this post, QJ writer Tim Curtain poses the question on everyone’s mind: What exactly is the best game of the year. With huge titles like Skyrim, Portal 2 and Skyward Sword on the list, it’s going to be hard for anyone to truly nail down a winner. Dark Souls is making a strong appearance in the comments section, as is Portal 2 – what game would you call the best if you had the chance?

Those are your five most talked about QJ posts for the week. And now it’s time for that very special Saturday ritual – the awarding of Comment of the Week. This week’s award goes to triac for his comment on Skyrim Patch Breaks More than it Fixes:

The CG machine is broken again!

DRAGON BRAIN!

Happy Skyrim Day

Posted Nov 11, 2011 at 2:51PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Bethesda, fallout 3, skyrim

Well, Skyrim is finally out after what seems like an eternity of waiting. So does it live up to the hype, or is it just another victim of its own expectations?

Although Skyrim won’t be the largest launch of the year in terms of sales, it’s still among the most highly anticipated. Gamers around the world called in sick today to jump into the world of Skyrim, slay some dragons, and make absolutely no progress in what is an essentially infinite game. Since the review embargo has been lifted, we’re starting to hear more and more about the game that has for so long been on the tip of everyone’s tongue. So how did it turn out?

Well, in short, great. The game is sitting comfortably at a 96 on Metacritic, barely edging out Skyward Sword for the top spot in new releases. I’ve read through some of the Skyrim reviews and I think I can give you a general idea of what everyone is saying, just in case you’re on the fence about buying the game.

Pros: Reviewers are praising the game’s open world and freedom of exploration. I’ve also seen plenty of compliments for the radiant questing system that ensure you always have something to do, and PC reviews note that the graphics of this game put older Elder Scrolls games to shame. Some reviewers praise the plot and character development, but this is by no means consistent. I’m seeing the word “ever” thrown around a lot, as in “the most liberating RPG ever,” or “most open world ever,” so take that how you will.

Cons: The game, typical to Bethesda form, is packed with bugs. Nothing major, but little glitches like floating mobs, weird collision detection and, my favorite bug of all, a character’s inability to realize there is a cooking pot on their head. These will probably be ironed out over time. Some reviewers have noted that the animation, while improved from Oblivion, is still fairly stilted – third person play isn’t really that improved. The clunky combat system is also listed as a minor problem, but if you like the Elder Scrolls series or Fallout 3 you’ll feel right at home.

So that’s the basic overview. Naturally, Skyrim is a massive experience that can’t be summed up in a review. It certainly looks like a good buy, assuming you’re into that sort of game.

Did you get Skyrim today? How’s it working out?

Well, Skyrim is finally out after what seems like an eternity of waiting. So does it live up to the hype, or is it just another victim of its own expectations?

You Can Play Skyrim Forever

Posted Nov 9, 2011 at 4:56PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: skyrim, todd howard

New details about the game’s “Creation Engine” reveal that it will generate new quests into infinity.

Skyrim is a huge game. We knew that already, what with the predictions of a 300-hour gameplay experience. But what we didn’t know is that the game actually continues into infinity, automatically generating content for as long as you feel like playing it.

Sound confusing? Well it is – a little bit. Game director for Skyrim, Todd Howard, has talked a bit about how the games’ new Radiant storytelling system never stops spitting out content, even after you finish the scripted stuff.

Howard says that the game’s engine will randomly create new quests for players that are engineered to send people into areas they haven’t previously visited. Quests can include assassinations, stealing things and, more than likely, slaying dragons. Oh, and don’t worry about running out of dragons – they’re infinite too.

Frankly, I find the idea of an infinite game somewhat terrifying. I downloaded Minecraft last night and even that was enough to overwhelm me, so I’m not really looking forward to trying to sort out everything Skyrim has to offer. I just don’t have 300 hours to put into one title, especially not in the face of the 2011 holiday barrage.

What about you. Do you have time for infinite quests?

Dragon Age: Redemption: Teaser trailer

Posted Oct 5, 2011 at 2:14AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: BioWare, dragon age: redemption

A new trailer has come out for BioWare's Dragon Age: Redemption, featuring Felicia Day.

Redemption is a six-part series centering on the (mis)adventures of Tallis, an elven assassin. Out and about on his quest to hunt down Qunari, a renegade mage, Tallis must risk it all or else lose her own freedom.

Redemption transports the series back to Ferelden, the location same as the one in Dragon Age: Origins, while at the same time happening around the same era as that of Dragon Age: II.

Dragon Age: Redemption airs on October 11th, but in the meantime, do enjoy this a minute and a half trailer. Do stick around, too, because you'll find something about Dragon Age II's upcoming DLC, Mark of the Assassin.

Even with DLCs still up for grabs on Dragon Age II, BioWare is already guaranteeing that the next iteration in the franchise, Dragon Age III, will definitely "surprise and delight".

Japanese charts: Dark Souls debut at number 1

Posted Sep 30, 2011 at 10:43PM EST by Ryan F. Listed in: PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PS3 Tags: Capcom, Japan, Media Create, Microsoft, news, Nintendo, sales, Sony, Square Enix

The wait will just be for a teeny bit more. Dark Souls has been confirmed to be delayed for Japan by developer From Software.

Due to "various reasons", the game will not be making its September 15th launch date in the land of the rising sun. It's not going to be too much of a delay, though, as it's been pushed back only by a week. The new release date will then now be on September 22nd.

They did not make mention on anything about the North American launch, however, but hopefully, it will not be affected by this Japanese delay.

Dark Souls comes out for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, published by Namco Bandai. Back in June, the Dark Souls team opened up a contest for the game wherein fans were encouraged to design their own shield and get the opportunity to win Dark Souls goods. There are also a bevy of bonus contents lined up for all awaiting fans.

Major announcement being teased by Nier and DQX producer

Posted Sep 29, 2011 at 2:17AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Wii Tags: Square Enix, yosuke saito

Yosuke Saito is excited about Friday, and no, it's not necessarily because it's the start of the weekend.

NieR and Dragon Quest X producer took to his Twitter account to let off some of this excitement, saying, "Ooooo, I can't wait for this Friday." Unfortunately for him, that said post did not garner the expected reaction, forcing him to be a tad bit more specific as to the reasons for his excitement.

Posting another (this time, clearer) tweet, "There wasn't much of a reaction, so I'll try again. There will be a major notice on Friday? Probably."

That was definitely a better tease, making people sit up and notice that something is definitely cooking for this weekend. As to what this could be, of course it remains unknown, so we'll all just have to wait until Friday to find out.

Meanwhile, you should be glad to know that Rebecca Black is not invited to this soiree, whatever this may be.

This past month alone, we've been bombarded with major details about Dragon Quest X, such as the confirmation of the Wii U version, as well as the subscription fee.

Dragon Quest X info: playable races, storyline

Posted Sep 12, 2011 at 5:25AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii U, Wii Tags: dragon quest x, Square Enix

Japanese magazine Weekly Shounen Jump dishes out new information on Dragon Quest X in their latest issue.

According to the magazine, there will be five races to choose from, apart from the humans, when you play this game: Ogre, Elf, Dwarf, Pukuripo and Wedi. You're basically going to be free to decide which race you'll be playing as in the game, but what's set is that the human race will remain central to the story. Apparently, one specific mission will be focused on the human world, with Jump asking, "Has something happened in the world of humans?".

That should be for us to figure out once we set out into the world of Astoldia. In this world are four split continents, and one island chain: Ogleed, Eltona, Dwachakka, Pukuland, and Wena Islands. Each of these geographical locations of course pertain to the abode of each of the aforementioned races.

Square Enix is hauling in quite an impressive lineup of goods at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, so we might be able to pick up something more from their presentation then.

The publisher has yet to describe Dragon Quest X as an MMORPG title, although so far, the clues about the game does point to that inclination. Just last week, the game's FAQ confirmed that there will be a subscription fee attached to playing the game online.

Skyrim makes room for vampire players

Posted Sep 10, 2011 at 9:41PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Bethesda, elder scrolls: skyrim

Bethesda's jumping on board the vampire craze with Elder Scrolls V: Skryim. The publisher has confirmed that players can indeed be be transformed into vampires.

Being a vampire has its pros and cons, of course. For one, you cannot be cavorting freely under sunlight because unlike Edward Cullens, you will not sparkle with diamons, but will get barbecued instead. The good part to it, though, is that you will have manic superhuman powers! Oh, and you'll get that occassional craving for human blood, too.

As with previous iterations, the transformation will obviously alter the way you play the game, unless you find a cure. If you want to, that is. If not, then you can go ahead and enjoy immortality at its finest.

I think having this alternative to transform into another entity with corresponding consequences to your gameplay is a pretty tight way of keeping players engaged. While they're at it, maybe they could have you turn into a werewolf too or something, and have a full bonanza of night creatures abounding Skyrim. Question is, would you like that in your game?

Skyrim comes out November 11th on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Much to the delight of Xbox 360 gamers, despite the RPG's size, Skyrim will only need one disc for you to enjoy. No disc-swapping here, thank goodness.

Wii U confirmed to get Dragon Quest X, too

Posted Sep 4, 2011 at 10:22PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii U, Wii Tags: dragon quest x, Square Enix

After much ado about something, Square Enix finally makes it official. Dragon Quest X is indeed coming to the Wii, this after its announcement way back in 2007.

Apart from the Wii, however, the latest console of Nintendo, the Wii U, is also reported to be getting a piece of the Dragon Quest X pie. The confirmation was made at the publisher's press conference held in Tokyo early this morning, also revealing that the game will feature online components.

Although Level-5 is no longer working on the development of the latest installment for the famed videogame series, Square Enix is said to be taking care of it internally in the meantime.

So waht's going to be in store for you in Dragon Quest X? Well, according to game producer Yosuke Saito, DQ X will be set in the world of Astortia, composed of five continents and five races. That's all they're ready to divulge at this point, however, so we're just going to have to wait for other details to trickle in regarding the story.

As for the gameplay features, the following are confirmed: a job system, in-game events reflecting the current season (ie. Halloween, New Year's), and character creation.

No date has been set as of yet, but for now, it's definitely confirmed for a Japan outing sometime next year. You can also check out some footage that's been packaged in discreetly within Dragon Quest Collection, which comes out next week, September 15th, again in Japan.
