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?

Yet another high-profile dev starts a mobile games studio.
It seems like every week we get news of some prominent game developer firing up his own mobile games studio. Thank s to the low barrier of entry and small team size required for mobile games, pretty much anyone can cook up a mobile game (and reap the benefits).
Alex Seropian, co-founder of Bungie and the creator of the insanely popular Halo franchise, is the next guy on the list. His new studio, dubbed Industrial Toys, has just gone live and is promising to focus on “mobile games for core gamers.”  The mission statement for the company goes on to state that games should be “accessible without sacrificing quality,” a very good point, indeed.
Naturally, the company is still in its infancy and no new IPs have been announced. But we’ll keep you posted as details emerge. Seropian’s last projects were with his very own Wideload Games, which developed Stubbs the Zombie and Hail to the Chimp.
What do you think? Can mobile be a home for core gamers?

Deal with it, Brazil.
If you tuned in for Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning, you were treated to yet another incredibly boring video with a few spread out game trailers. However, if you managed to stick through the thing until close to the end, you’re also aware of what we’re about to reveal here on the site: Mistwalker’s insanely popular RPG, The Last Story, is headed to North America.
The game, which was published by Nintendo in Europe and Japan, will be distributed by XSEED Games. There’s no official release date as of yet; all we know is that you can expect to see the game sometime in 2012. This is the second good bit of news for Nintendo fans, following the Xenoblade Chronicles release date announcement earlier today.
If you didn’t watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast, you can watch it below for information on Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Fatal Frame and – gasp! – Mario Tennis:
Are you amped to see more RPGs coming to the Wii in 2012? Also, how awkward is Reggie Fils-Aime?

Call of Duty locking DLC to ELite accounts
More Elite features include flipping the bird to consumers and making tonnes off money by being crazy
So Modern Warfare 3 made over a billion dollars last year and whilst Activision is tight lipped on how much has been made from their Elite service so far. The first two maps for MW3 have been released and the next few already teased but many CoD players have discovered a recent change in the DLC policy. This would have people shelling out more money for their maps but other profiles on the system will be unable to get their content without a second or separate Elite membership.
On the Call of Duty forums, there were 8 pages worth on a single thread of upset players who had their friends and family accounts discontinued or altered with no new maps because they didn't have a secondary account. What's even worse is that the new policy doesn't really work with the terms of services you encounter when you first download the content, which rather plainly states on the loading screen that: "You can use this item on the first Xbox 360 console you downloaded it to. Access to this item will also be granted to all users on this first console."
What would usually happen is that DLC on the 360 would be user agnostic and while your purchase (or any redownloads of purchased items) would be tied to your account, any XBLA games or in-game DLC would be on your HD and playable by any account on the 360, which you own. Microsoft's own digital ownership scheme, mimics real life ownership, so as long as someone has access to the content, you can let someone borrow it from you and play it on their own account.
However, with the CoD Elite service, you cannot do so and require your own user account to access the maps and DLC. For example, a single copy of the game could set you back several $50 a year per account to play on.
Whilst Activision is yet to make a comment on it, I'm sure the more "financially savvy" (See: Greedy) companies will probably adopt this system to make sure each user or member of a console will fork out a piece of dough to make sure they make up for the "lost millions" from pirates.
Not sure how many Call of Duty fans there are on this site, but I'm sure that more often than not there are criticism's spread far and wide about their handling of their Elite service as well as their user base. I do like Call of Duty in theory and in some aspects.
I think if the Black Ops zombie game was just a downloadable title I would buy that and every bit of DLC in existance, but alas we are burdened by terrible storylines, unrelatable characters and some insane visuals. They're not terrible games but their effect on the industry (see: BF3, Medal of Honor, etc.) can bar none see them as a culprit.

In a slow news week, there is only one hope: an insane gamer dancing his heart out for 16 hours straight.
Apparently, there’s such a thing as the “Longest Video Games Marathon on a Dance/Rhythm Game” world record. And, apparently, there’s such a thing as “person who wants to hold the record for longest video games marathon on a dance/rhythm game.” This person, ladies and gentlemen, is Alexander Skudlarek.
Skudlarek is now the world record holder for the ridiculously long-titled record mentioned above, a title he earned for playing Dance Dance Revolution for a whopping 16 hours and 18 minutes straight. It may not sound like that much time compared to some Skyrim or WoW marathons, but you have to remember –DDR is a dancing game. How many of us have ever danced so hard?
The record was set back in October, but no one really knew about it until this week, when Skudlarek contacted Destructoid and helped save both them and us from an incredibly slow news day.
It may seem silly but hey, it’s a word record – I sure don’t have any to my name. So we at QJ would like to offer belated congratulations to Alexander.
Never stop dancing, buddy.

2012 is here! What games are going to be the first played in the year the world ends?
Well everyone, we finally made it. Christmas is this Sunday, and the insane holiday rush of games has come to a close. It seems like something huge launched every week for the last three months, but thankfully, this week marks the beginning of the “one big title per month” schedule we’re more used to.
There isn’t much this week, with Postal III likely being the only title likely to do any real volume. Here’s this week’s edition of:
Postal III
PC, Xbox 360
ESRB Rating Pending
Running with Scissors
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD
PS3
ESRB Teen
Oddworld Inhabitants
The Ultimate Battle of the Sexes
Nintendo Wii
ESRB Teen
Conspiracy Entertainment
That’s pretty much it. Everything else that was schedule for release this week seems to have been canceled or delayed. Let me know if I missed anything, I’m having a hard time tracking down reliable information for this week thanks to all the delays and cancellations.

Sony is pushing the hype machine as hard as it can for the mysterious “Last of Us” project – recent clues indicate the plot revolves around a world-ending virus.
Have you been following the Last of Us drama? First, Sony drops this weird video showing that creepy “mind-control” parasite that has been known to infect ants. Then, they hint that they’ll be announcing a brand new, PS3-exclusive game at this year’s VGAs (frankly, who isn’t announcing something there this year?).
Now, they’ve updated the website for The Last of Us with a couple of images, but neither of them casts much more light on the project than what we already have. The first image shows a forest and isn’t of much use, but the second shows a broken newspaper box (kiosk?) with a front-page story featuring the president giving a speech – the subtitle reads, “millions more are feared dead or infected.”
The Last of Us is generating an insane amount of buzz, and Sony has definitely handled the publicity part of this equation right. But part of me can’t help but think it’s going to be yet another zombie game. I mean, the mind-control parasite is an interesting touch and I’m all for new ideas, but it just doesn’t feel like it’s going to be some sort of mind-blowing revelation.
Then again, I could be wrong (as I usually am). We’ll just have to wait for the VGAs – scheduled for the tenth of this month.
What do you think Sony has up its sleeve?

Scribblenauts Developer "Retail Model is broken"
But if you type in F-I-X, that'll fix it right?
If you haven't played a Scribblenauts game, go out and get it right now. It's beautifully handled, fun, creative available on your iPhoen or DS and it's fanatastic...but...you know, maybe don't pay the full price. The game's creative director, Jeremiah Slaczka has come forward saying that the rising prices for a video game budget are making the usual $60 price tag for US Games, untenable for most developers.
Slaczka said in an interview with Game Informer that the recent console generation, dev costs are low enough to allow games that don't sell too well to make money, but now with more being spent on graphics and design, games have to sell into the millions to make sure they get back everything they paid for.  Slaczka calls it insane saying that if you aren't going to make a "mega hit at $60" you may as well give up before you start, because it's a lot of money just being wasted.
Slaczka...is a really hard name to type repeatedly and leaves for a stale story so let's just refer to him as Slazzie. Slazzie says that if a game doesn't sell for $60, that at a reduced price, it shouldn't be sold at all, with the current business model. Slazzie used Homefront as an example in the interview claiming that THQ said that the game didn't meet the sales projections not because it was terrible but because the competition at the full price was too fierce.
"As a consumer, why would I want to play an okay FPS when I can play a bunch of great FPS titles for the same price? And that's what the consumers did," Slazzie said, but also noted that with the shortness of the game and people still renting titles, "what if Homefront was only $30 dollars upfront for the single player and if you liked it you could buy the multiplayer for an additional $30?"
Whilst I honestly think this is ridiculous considering that in my country you pay $100 for a game at retail price, if you're lucky and even then I know with Slazzie's business model that we'd be charged $50 for the single player for CoD then another $50 for their multiplayer, oh and another $64.95 for CoD Elite. Slazzie may be right for US prices, but the ripple effect would be devestating overseas...for those of us who still purchase games.

Epic Games has reportedly fixed a widespread issue with the game randomly freezing in the game’s latest Live patch.
As we find ourselves in the middle of this insane launch schedule, it’s easy to forget some of the huge games that have already come and gone this season. Gears of War 3 has been out since October, and despite moving millions of copies seems to have shifted off the minds of gamers eagerly awaiting their next fix.
But quite a few people are still playing GoW 3, and some of those folks have been reporting a serious problem with the game.
Apparently, some Gears players were experiencing random game freezes of varying lengths – sometimes the game would freeze for a few moments, other times it would crash entirely. Not exactly the kind of thing you want to happen right in the middle of an intense Locust confrontation. Epic Games pushed a patch through late last night that seems to have resolved the problem, so if you’re a Gears owner you should go ahead and get it downloaded.
Beyond the bug fix, Epic added a spectator mode for private versus matches, eased up the requirements for a couple of medals, and balanced a few other things. They’ve also fixed a few bugs – you should check out the full list here: Gears of War 3 Title Update 2
Did you have any issues with Gears of War 3, or has it been smooth sailing since launch?
