It's always good to hear from developers themselves, but this isn't the usual 'we're number one!' babble. Nope, this is some hardcore self-criticism, with a goal in mind.

DICE is still fixing stuff in BF3, including the ability to air-surf on a flying robot. Which, frankly, should be a game feature.

EA notes that vitriol from players regarding its unnecessary Origin software is on the decline, and asks for a two-year window to make the service useful.
Origin is a piece of shit. What’s worse, it’s an unnecessary piece of shit. What Origin stumbles through, Steam already had mastered. And the only reason Origin even exists at this point is EA stripping its games from a far superior digital distribution platform and forcing a proprietary service down everyone’s throats. It’s nothing less than a digital coup, and an ugly one at that.
Origin has, naturally, seen its fair share of hate. Most of this hate stems from feelings like those mentioned above, with a bit left over for the terrible customer service offered by the platform. However, EA sees a few rays of light poking through the hate clouds. Chief operating officer Peter Moore, who is largely responsible for the existence of Origin, believes that the software is just a couple of years away from being truly wonderful.
Moore stated that EA is looking for ways to make Origin more social and more interactive, as opposed to just a pipeline for the company to shovel games at players (at exorbitant prices). He also noted that criticism of the platform has mostly died down, and that gamers are learning to embrace Origin’s special brand of online functionality. Hey, when you make something mandatory, how can people not learn to use it?
His comments are actually sort of hilarious—Moore claims that the healthiest decision for the industry is providing players with a way to “shop around” on various services, while his company simultaneously pulls all of its games off competitor’s platforms. Nice one, EA. Regardless of the hypocrisy, Moore does make a smart point when he says the service needs a couple of years; there’s no telling whether Origin will be better or worse in 2014.
What do you think of Origin? Do you see it as one more gaming tool on your PC, or an unwanted and forced intrusion by a greedy company?

LA Noire creator to make Whore of the Orient
Brendan McNamara is heading to the Orient.
LA Noire is still one of my favourite games of the year. Seemlessly blending the classic point and click adventure style with a brand new stylised action and some amazing graphics, which all play into the gameplay carefully. Sure the game does have a few drawbacks, but not enough for Brendan McNamara to stop working.
His next game is going to be called Whore of the Orient, which may or may not go through title changes before the game even starts to be developed. The game will be developed with KMM, an Australia studio owned by George Miller, who you may know as the director of those films about penguins or about Mel Gibson in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Speaking of Mad Max, McNamara will also be developing a game based on the fourth film, which has been in development hell for over a decade, with the subtitle Fury Road. Miller says he is finally doing the film "after years of resisting the impulse" and also three family friendly films that have grossed over a hundred million dollars worldwide. Miller has gone on the record saying "Multi-platform, that's the thing", explaining "Create once; publish many times, on multiple platforms. You create a world and then you go in to all the different platforms - your iPhone, your iPad, on the net," I doubt he's talking about ARG, but merely just multiple ports.
But that's not the only reason, recently in Australia, our culture and arts funding just went through the roof. Whilst it isn't helping to fund theatre all too much, the future is in video games and KMM's co-found Doug Mitchell couldn't be more pleased to immediately go forward with the two games, thanks to "government support."
Mitchell also noted that whilst Australia doesn't have a big games sector, the "potential in the video games sector is massive," he says. He also notes that it's a 60 billion dollar industry that's fast-tracking towards 90 billion. He compares the film industry with costs being around 170 million with more to advertise it and the fact games can be made at 10% of the budget and marketing is often word of mouth.
Mitchell mentioned LA Noire saying that they sold 3 million units with $135 million net revenue, nice to see to being able to use that dead horse after everyone's beaten it to death. Whilst there's not much info on the Orient, McNamara spoke with Eurogamer last month saying "It's pretty interesting. It's one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century," he said. "So I think it'll be good."

Here comes the next big non-expansion content update for one of the most popular MMOs in the known universe.
World of Warcraft is in a constant state of flux. Even between expansions and major content patches, the developers are always making tiny tweaks or fixing slight issues. Today’s 4.3 patch falls in the “major” category, introducing a new raid instance and dropping some brand new features on World of Warcraft players around the globe.
Here’s a brief rundown on some of the things you can expect to see in World of Warcraft Patch 4.3: Hour of Twilight:
Three new small-group instances
End Time
Well of Eternity
Hour of Twilight
Dragon Soul raid
Void Storage – to help you free up your bank
Item Transmogrification – the ability to change the appearance of weapons and items
Legendary Daggers: Fangs of the Father
Huge XP Reduction from 71 to 80
And a bunch of other stuff. You can see the full patch notes here: Patch 4.3
Are you excited about the changes found in 4.3? The XP reduction seems nice; maybe my sister will finally get to 80.

The anticipated PS Vita game contains only three tracks and five cars. Weak.
A few lucky individuals in the Japanese gaming press had the chance to play the PlayStation Vita’s upcoming version of Ridge Racer, and while the reports paint the controls and graphics in a positive light, they also note that the game is pretty limited when it comes to content.
Based on the current version of the game, Vita’s Ridge Racer will ship with three tracks, all of which are remakes from previous Ridge Racer games, and only five different cars. CVG, reporting on the story, notes that there will probably be DLC content, but the in-box game seems alarmingly limited. You can run the courses backwards, but that hardly seems like a substitute for more on-disc content.
The game will be priced below normal Vita games, so that’s some consolation to Ridge Racer fans. Still, it’s not a great precedent for the future of games – slightly cheaper, but limited titles aimed at filling in the blanks with DLC. Most Vita games run around £50, but Ridge Racer will land at about £33 – not necessarily a huge enough difference to justify such a small title.
Also, the game apparently runs at only 30fps? Overall, it doesn’t sound like Ridge Racer is shaping up to be the exciting title some people thought – limited courses, limited cars, and limited frame rates mar what should be a great experience.
Would you buy a racing game with only three courses?

Rockstar announces the 10th anniversary edition of its old-school classic, remastered and headed directly to your mobile phone.
It’s hard to imagine, but Grand Theft Auto III, the game generally recognized as revolutionizing what game developers could do with an open world, has been out for 10 years. For a bit of perspective, the number one song in 2001 was Independent Women Part 1, by Destiny’s Child. Beyoncé was still a person in a band when GTAIII hit shelves.
Anyway, this post isn’t about Beyoncé. It’s about Rockstar’s most recent announcement – in celebration of the tenth anniversary of GTAIII, they’re releasing the game not to consoles or direct download, but directly to mobile platforms.
Here’s the currently supported device lineup:
Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S
Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Rockstar notes that this list isn’t complete, and they’ll be releasing a more in-depth list of compatible devices once they’re a little closer to dropping the game on the open market. If you happen to be going to New York Comic Con, you can give the game a test run at the Rockstar booth.
Everyone else will just need to wait until later this fall; there’s no official release but it’s safe to say we’ll see GTAIII on our iPads sometime during the holiday season.
I’m just amazed at how far we’ve come technology-wise. I remember being amazed at the freedom that game created, and it’s incredible to think that I could have the same experience on a device that fits in my pocket.
Anyone planning on downloading GTAIII to their mobile device, or are you sticking to consoles?
