Don't like Steam much, but credit where it's due: At least they didn't wait a couple weeks and then act like it was no big deal.

If Sony had handled things this way, people wouldn't have been as pissed.

Also, as much as I love ME, this is a terrible idea for AC.

As long as it isn't soul crushingly difficult due to FPS platforming problems and not prevalent in the overall game, I won't mind it. It's just that FPS platforming was still far from perfect in ME. Until we have true virtual reality gaming, FPS platforming will always be awkward due to that detachment it has from your actual senses of balance and depth perception.

Ubisoft hints the potential fate of a Beyond Good & Evil 2 game relies on how well Rayman Origins sells regardless of praise from the critics.

According to Tony Key, sales executive at Ubisoft, he doesn't want the new Rayman game to become a one-trick pony like the original Beyond Good & Evil game but at the same time did hint the person who worked on the game would have more leeway with other projects.

Quote:
"Ultimately, Rayman is [Ancel's] original creation, and if all the people that love Beyond Good & Evil understand he is more than a one trick pony... and that if Rayman: Origins does well, it gives him more leeway for other opportunities because he has to build up his studio"
Ubisoft has been undecided for the past couple of years whether or not to fully commit to a Beyond Good & Evil 2 project. They have hinted multiple times a game could be made but also have stated they have no current plans in actually making the game.

This wouldn't be the first time Ubisoft or other companies have tied a future game to a game about to be released in hope of generating extra sales.

Game Informer is reporting a current rumor for the Wii U involves Nintendo and EA working out an agreement to make EA's Origin digital service become the basis for Nintendo's revamped online network set to launch with the Wii U.

The basis of the rumor could be due to Nintendo hinting earlier in the year they have been contacting companies for advice on how to revamp their online network with Valve and EA being the big names leaked.

The biggest part of the rumor involves the online network would be more "open" in a sense compared to Microsoft's Xbox Live strict "closeness" that has upset a lot of companies in recent years especially EA and Valve. Up until the addition of PS+ service, Sony's PSN was less "closed" but required publishers to cover all server costs including demo downloads.

Nintendo's Wiiware did allow a higher percentage of revenue for publishers but the heavy restrictions on file size and lack of advertising were key negative factors for interest in the service by publishers.

In theory this would mean Nintendo's new network service would be more publisher-friendly than Xbox Live by either allowing more leeway in the guidelines or a better share of the revenue. One big complaint regarding Xbox Live involves restricting games if they arrive on PSN at the same time or even before Xbox Live gets them.

If true, it would allow EA's Origin service a potential foothold into the console market and as a way to compete against Steam which currently can be accessed from a PS3. It would also allow Nintendo some network experience from EA who already built 2 network services (EA Network and Origin).

Other rumors state Nintendo is still debating between Steam and Origin as a potential basis with Valve and EA in heavy competition to win the partnership contract.

The awesome thing about this for me is that it combines a system I don't care about with a service I don't want. It's win-win.

I'm betting the earlier reports that this is wishful thinking by EA (More appropriately, that EA's aggressively pursuing this, rather than it being a mutual thing) are accurate. EA needs this more than Nintendo does. Nintendo would be wise not to tie themselves to any one service, especially a service that is going up against STEEEEEEEEEAM.

It'd be nice to see Nintendo serious about online, though. I'm not a huge online gamer, but it's frustrating as fuck to use their recent services.

I just figured I'd put this here, rather than its own thread, but this is what bugs me about the Arkham City/Catwoman deal.

Quote:
Play as Catwoman with her own storyline in the main game which is seamlessly interwoven with Batman's story arc
People were like, "it's optional content!" "It's ot really part of the game!"

Except the product description really did say seamless. And interwoven. This was not advertised as bonus content. Or, at least, it was advertised as a selling point of the main game right up until a week or so (whatever) before it came out.

Timely commentary, I know. But since I had to go dig up the quote for a fuckwad, figured I'd go post it here, too.

Some Xbox related news today with the Xbox brand celebrating its 10th anniversary, rumors of the next Xbox console to be shown at CES 2012, and the potential for it to revolve more on a performance leap than graphical leap.

In honor of today being the 10th anniversary of the launch of the original Xbox console and the Xbox brand itself, Microsoft is giving away a free avatar prop on the Xbox Live Marketplace to all Xbox 360 members. The avatar prop, a present box that shoots out confetti when opened, will only be available until Saturday, November 19 while the paid celebration avatar items will stay in the Avatar store.

Based on current rumors, the next generation Xbox console, codenamed "Infinity", will make its debut in January 2012 during the CES 2012 expo. The console itself is rumored to have 6 main processor cores to go along with 2 GPUs, 2 GB of RAM, and an AMD graphics chip.

The console itself could also be placing an emphasis more on performance as the next gen leap instead of the traditional graphical leap. This would be based on the suggestions from several gaming studios and personal, such as Rockstar Games and John Carmack, who have stated the focus for the future should revolve around improving A.I. and performance itself instead of just graphics which is starting to show its peak. Most likely the next console will once again be dependent on the suggestions from Epic Games who were influential in the Xbox 360 having more RAM and a stronger GPU than the PS3.

I was under the impression 2GB of RAM is average? My piece of shit PC from 5 years ago has 2 GB RAM and just about manages to play games on low-mid settings without lag.

Right, but a console has a lot lower overhead and doesn't need to multi-task so 2gb is a fairly large amount.

Both the PS3 and 360 have 512mb of RAM.

Gaming celebrates a very special birthday as Shigeru Miyamoto turned 59 years old today.

Considered as one of the most important and influential people in the video game industry either in terms of aspiration (ex. Cliffy B from Epic Games) or from his innovations with gaming (ex. Z-Targeting in Ocarina of Time and 3D platforming in Super Mario 64).

Some notable achievements include being credited with helping Nintendo's entrance into the console video game industry in 1983 with the NES (1984 in the US), the revival of the console video game industry from Atari's crash in 1983, and the resurgence of Nintendo's dominance with the Wii involving Wii Sports.

Along with creating the Donkey Kong series as one of his first creations, he is also credited as the father of the Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and countless other video games series both new and old. While he wasn't the creator of the GameBoy series, he did have influence in the design and eventual success of both the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS handheld systems.

Daily Recap:
1) EA offering Burnout Paradise as a free game for their Origin services but the offer only includes just the UK at the moment but the game itself doesn't require Origin to be playable.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/ea-u...se-origin-free

2) Ubisoft's Montreal is currently rumored to recently have aquired the actual dev kits and console for the next Xbox system along with EA who had them earlier and other studios expected to recieve them before the end of the year.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...ts-hit-ubisoft

3) Sony announces several pre-order bonuses for the upcoming PS Vita and similar to when the PSP was released, none of the pre-orders actually include any games nor will the system be bundled with a game for free.

If you were planning on playing online or going on a digital shopping spree tomorrow with your PlayStation 3, think again. According to the PlayStation Blog, the PSN will be down for maintenance for most of Thursday, November 17th. The nature of the maintenance is unknown, though the post refers to it as "routine scheduled maintenance." Sony's Patrick Seybold outlines the maintenance, which is scheduled to last a 14 hour period on November 17th, from "approximately 8am until 10pm PST." During this time, the PlayStation Store, account management options and account registration options will be unavailable. Seybold does note that online gameplay may randomly work for some games, however.

So, if you were going to purchase something on the PS Store tomorrow, or took the day off to get lost in a little Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3, you may want to reconsider.

After earlier trying to reduce the growing resentment involving Gears of War 3 having a lot more content locked away on the disc itself than what Epic Games promised only skins would be locked, Rod Fergusson once again tries to defend the idea of pre-launch or DLC from the disc as not a "rip-off" but this time as a fight against used game sales.

Earlier he tried to defend the right of Epic Games and other companies doing the same stuff by either trying to place blame on other companies saying his company wasn't the first to lock content or by trying to argue his company has the right to lock away stuff regardless if the DLC is found on the disc. He also tried to make an excuse of since Gears of War 3 was already "packed with content", then it would be fair to lock some stuff since nobody would really complain about the lack of stuff to do in the game.

Today, Fergusson shifted the blame to used game sales as the reason why DLC can be a "Day 1" or found on the disc. He said the industry has to fight more against used sales than have people worried about if a map or some content was on the disc but now requires payment to unlock.

Quote:
Saying that the industry has matured with its approach to DLC, he continued, "It's less about shipping what's left over. It's not about, 'Oh, we had this map left over'... it's keeping the disc in the tray. In a used game culture that you have to actively fight against, I think DLC is one of the ways that you do that."
He also defended the idea of "Day 1" DLC by saying it takes a lot of planning to decide what is DLC and isn't just ripping out content to withhold but also requires time to develop which is why DLC isn't just developed after a game is released.

Quote:
Epic Games, developers of Gears of War 3, say otherwise. In an interview with Game Informer, Epic's Rod Fergusson said, "What people need to understand is that extra content is something that you have to plan," his colleague Cliff Bleszinki adding "You don't just lift up a rock and say, 'oh shit, there's new levels!'"

"There are people who think that the first day of DLC development is the day after you launched. That's not the way it works," Fergusson said. "A lot of it is that you have to prepare and plan and manage your resources and your people and everything to allow for that."

That's not what I was saying.

Each Gears of War release has sold more than the last, and at a quicker pace no less. They've made over 1 billion dollars off the franchise, and they're still pumping out over priced DLC.

I mean, there's over 40$ worth of gun skins. Those should be worth at most, like 25 cents. Instead, they're what, four or five bucks?

If they have a problem, they should've done what everyone else did and put in an online pass. They didn't and they're bitching anyways.

Companies are never satisfied, especially ones with overrated trash like Gears. The more hype surrounding a game like the more likely they'll pull stunts like 15$ map packs charging high for gun skins. Blame other gamers for that really.

Still, who gives a shit. It's DLC, we don't need it. Gun skins are for the gays.

At least the horse aromor did something. These gun skins are a pretty horrendous concept. They do nothing unless they're animated. Even then, it's not like you're going to have time to look at them when the battles are under way.

They will. I have a hard time believing a decent script is possible considering the paper thin aspect of the game series' plot.

Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft officially join the US Copyright Office to endorse the Hollywood-backed SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) anti-piracy bill.

Also joining them is the entire ESA which has about 34 gaming companies as members.

Quote:
If you haven’t heard of SOPA, it’s essentially a bill that aims to curb piracy by allowing the US government to censor sites with any links that they deem questionable via a number of methods.
In terms of the effects on gaming, the bill will make it illegal to stream any type of game content without the permission of the owners of the game while also possibly attaching stricter fines and/or jail terms. This would make the popular "Let's Play" and parody/comedic series which use in-game footage to become illegal streams even though recent online stats for Youtube and other video services revealed gaming-related media as the #1 popular topic both in terms of content uploaded and viewed.

This would be done due to a "questionable" links clause giving power to companies to shut down any website or content if they feel it doesn't benefit them either financially or intellectually. It would also give the companies more power to go after individuals than just primarily relying on threats or requests to Youtube and other media sites to remove the content.

In terms of overall effects, the bill itself contains a lot of provisions making general censorship easier for companies regardless of the actual intent of the content or individual and could end up becoming the stepping stone to get rid of Net Neutrality.

Quote:
SOPA, which was introduced last month in the House to the applause of lobbyists for Hollywood and other large content holders, is designed to make allegedly copyright-infringing Web sites, sometimes called "rogue" Web sites, virtually disappear from the Internet.

SOPA's effects are overhyped.

They will. I have a hard time believing a decent script is possible considering the paper thin aspect of the game series' plot.
Gun skins are one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen.

Worse, they're probably going to give Rampage a serious plot, a romantic subplot, and Michael Bay as a director.

Oh no, not Michael Bay. We need someone who can handle the subtle intricacies of a movie about monsters destroying multiple cities.

John Rickard is set to direct. When I said "screw up", crowbarring a romantic story into the game, likely between Lizzie and one of the guys, was what I had in mind.

If they borrow from Universal Tour, they have the basis for a story. I'm not a pro writer and this is just bullet points but this is all I could come up with as far as story goes.
SPOILER: show
  • Keep it comical. Parody monster and invasion movies.
  • Have George, Lizzie and Ralph expiremented on and turned into monsters.
  • Have them escape and rampage around the US.
  • They eventually get captured and seperated to be tourist attractions. George to New York, Lizzie to Tokyo and Ralph to London.
  • Time passes, cities are rebuilt and Scumlabs has another blunder which creates Boris the Rhino. Give him some connection to the 3 main guys at the start of the movie before they become monsters.
  • Boris trashes his way through to New York and saves George. It would look cool if they had him gore through skyscrapers.
  • They go on to save Ralph and Lizzie.
  • Alien invasion (this happened in Universal Tour, though we don't need the monsters visiting other planets in the movie.). Boris is killed for the sake of motivation.
  • Monsters are our only hope. They save us while getting revenge for Boris.
  • End the movie with them being rewarded for saving the entire planet by being freed and turned back into humans.


I wonder how dialogue will be handled. The monsters don't talk so either they do a WALL-E and have most of the film without it, which I don't think they could get away with, or they have the monsters talk which wouldn't seem right.
I guess they could have the monsters and rampaging be a very small part of the film but that would suck.
