During an interview with The Cambridge Student Online, Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve, feels the issue with piracy on the PC goes beyond just the usual complaints about prices and more about the services themselves.

By comparing the 24/7 services a pirate can offer in comparison to a publisher limiting access to their games either by region locking or DRM restrictions, the pirate's services would be more favorable regardless of the actual retail price of the product.

His main issues involves the various types of DRM being more of a hassle to legitimate customers than to pirates and games being restricted only to certain retail stores well after their initial release on the PC.

Quote:
"For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country three months after the U.S. release and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customer's use or by creating uncertainty."
He compared those services with Steam's ability to provide both the 24/7 service and affordable prices customers wanted. This ended up leading to both the service's massive rise in popularity and a way to fight piracy on the platform due to those same customers continued satisfaction with the service.

Quote:
"Our success comes from making sure that both customers and partners feel like they get a lot of value from those services. They can trust us not to take advantage of the relationship that we have with them."

Which is why you have an F with the BBB. Oh, right.

Other bits:

-Proprietary memory cards are going to come with a proprietary price. That's not a surprise. It's still bullshit.

-I hope Parappa really is in the fighting game.

-Kinect in Sony products? But the two are bitter rivals!

According to a recent "Iwata Asks" interview by Nintendo, the company was willing to sacrifice its normal slow development policy on games to ensure Mario Kart 7 was rushed out before Christmas of this year.

The decision was originally made in March before the US debut of the 3DS but once the 3DS started to struggle selling in terms of both hardware sales and a steady supply of software, the company went into full panic mode.

To help speed up the process, Nintendo pooled the other 3DS development teams together and even brought in Retro Studios to take care of the work on the classic courses.

Quote:
During the latest "Iwata Asks," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that the game almost didn't make the desired Christmas time deadline, so Nintendo treated it as an emergency situation and put the development team in full panic mode and even called in Retro Studios (the team behind Donkey Country Returns) to lend a hand, all in effort to get the game finished in time.
Quote:
* Konno explains that with several production designers joining to finish Nintendogs+Cats for launch, and other "developments at Nintendo taking up other staff" there was "an act of emergency" to have Mario Kart finished by the end of the year. Konno needed more people to get this done.
* Designers from Retro Studios Inc who worked on Donkey Kong Country were called to help design and model some courses.
* Retro concentrated on redoing the classic courses while EAD Group No. 1 concentrated on the new courses.
Nintendo was expecting Mario Kart 7 to be the last big chance at having a true killer app had Super Mario 3D Land failed to sell hardware while also ensuring the company would have a big title available for the Christmas shopping period.

According to a source who leaked the news to Kotaku, EA is planning another 4 more games in the Dead Space series with at least 2 of them being considered spin-offs or gameplay "reboots."

The source states EA was happy with how Dead Space Extraction turned out and now wants the series to involve multiple genres with each new game covering a specific genre.

One of the games is confirmed to be Dead Space 3 which still is going towards the outdoors icy planet as the main setting and gameplay changes in favor of an escort style for both the story and gameplay experience. While the game itself will still be done in the series traditional 3rd person perspective, it will also include the addition of a co-op mode for the campaign/story.

The other games are rumored to involve a game switching from the series 3rd person perspective in favor of a first person shooter, another focusing solely on just combat flying for gameplay, and the third to be an adventure game done in an Uncharted-like style but in space.

Sony's UMD Passport system which allows PSP games to be played on the PS Vita officially starts today in Japan with both good and bad news regarding the service.

The good news is the service does have PSP games and covers most of the smaller companies who helped keep the system healthy in Japan such as Atlus, Nippon Ichi, Acquire, Kaga Create, Alchemist, Tecmo Koei, and SNK.

The bad news is none of the actual big publishers who were directly responsible for keeping the system alive in both hardware sales and software sales have any of their games available for the program at the moment. This includes companies such as Capcom, Konami, Sega, Namco Bandai, and Square Enix who were the main providers for the PSP. Sony vaguely mentions those studios will eventually supply their games to the Passport system but gave no guarantees on the bigger games being available nor any dates on when those games would arrive.

More bad news for the service is while there are about 262 games available at launch from the total Japanese PSP library, this amount is only 1/3 of the overall PSP titles available (606 games) with the bigger games found only on the PSN Store but at their regular prices. Sony confirms as of now the Passport system is only available in Japan with no details on if or when the service would arrive in other regions even though Japan was the only hotbed for the handheld in comparison to the Nintendo DS.

Quote:
To take advantage of UMD Passport, users must download a “UMD Passport” application to their PSP, insert a compatible UMD, and Sony somehow verifies that UMD (the exact process isn't known). Once that’s done, you gain access to a digital version--for a cost, anyway.
Also revealed was the reason for the wide ranges in prices for the UMD Passport system is due to Sony refusing to apply a standard in prices to cover the cost of bandwidth to host the games on PSN and allowed publishers to determine the prices for the games. Sony themselves felt certain games were more valuable than others and used the "conversion" excuse to why certain games (mostly Sony and bigger titles) had higher prices.

A bill severely impacting internet usage could finally become a reality according to an analyst familiar with the intentions of cable internet providers in the growing internet service market. In terms of gaming, online gaming and digital distribution would be affected the most due to those fees relying on the internet to be useable.

While some internet providers do have plans that feature usage caps, they only start to charge additional usage fees once the cap is passed. This potential bill would give cable providers the power to start charging at the start of the billing month or every time data is used while also securing a lot more control away from consumers in the market.

Quote:
It's a concept that has been hinted at in the past by service providers, only to be quickly swept under the rug for fear of the angry mobs that would surely follow. So could it really be inevitable in the New Year? Craig Moffett of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York says yes.

"As more video shifts to the Web, the cable operators will inevitably align their pricing models," said Moffett. "With the right usage-based pricing plan, they can embrace the transition instead of resisting it.
"In the end, it will be the best thing that ever happened to the cable industry," Moffett said.
The main reason for his argument is due to a recent FCC ruling which allowed cable internet providers the power to charge usage-based billing at any rate they determine.

Netflix and Hulu are currently against this plan as it would affect them the most with the spokesperson from Netflix stating "is not in the consumer's best interest as consumers deserve unfettered access to a robust Internet at reasonable rates."

Long story short, online passes (or at least EA's) expire. Guy buys new version of Hot Pursuit from Amazon and the online pass doesn't work. Multiplayer has to be paid for extra.

That's fucked up, yet not surprising.

Wouldn't those passes expire anyways once the game gets put on the yearly server shutdown list?

Usually its 2 years but some EA games have been shut down a year after release.

Not all of them do. Burnout Paradise is still up and fine. The fact is though, you can still play Hot Pursuit online but yet if you buy new right now, you have to pay extra for the online.

It's not about them expiring in that sense, though. People buying new copies can't play online, even though the community is still up, and this is kind of a problem.

However, if you read the fine print, you know about it already.

Some good and bad news was revealed concerning the PS Vita with the major stuff being potentially cheap digital versions of Vita games possible and accounts being limited to just 1 per device.

While Adobe has cancelled their development of flash support for mobile devices, they are currently working with Sony to enable a custom flash player for the PS Vita in order to provide flash capabilities for the handheld's web browser.

Based on a rumored leak from a third party company working with Sony, digital versions of PS Vita games on the PSN store will be around 40% cheaper than their retail versions. This was only confirmed so far to be in Japan although Sony didn't state if the discounts will carry over to other regions when the device is launched there.

For the bad news, unlike the Nintendo 3DS, the PS Vita will not allow for web browsing during gaming and will disable everything except Twitter.

As part of the recent changes for game sharing, the PS Vita will only allow 1 account per device and will be locked to a region once an account has been activated. Unlike the PSP which allowed changing regions either by logging out of an account or just restarting the device, the PS Vita requires the device to be formatted back to factory defaults in order to change regions or have a different account.

Sony has also stated the official reason for the high prices of the PS Vita memory cards is due to security issues and the cards being able to hold non-game save data.

Quote:
During an interview with Watch Impress, Sony's Muneki Shimada said Sony decided to only make the Vita compatible with its brand of memory cards in effort to not only make the Vita experience even for everyone, but to also make things more secure.

...

Muneki also tried to make Sony's brand of memory cards more impressive by saying that they can not just be used to save game progress but also patches, DLC and game data.

A computer glitch in the pre-order servers from Walmart almost caused a potentially huge problem in people believing their pre-orders from the company had been erased.

Neither Walmart nor Bioware were aware of the potential problem until customers recently complained of their pre-orders not appearing when checking the status of their orders. The email system meant to warn customers when their pre-orders were cancelled did not work nor were any messages sent to warn customers beforehand of their potentially lost pre-orders.

The initial fear was the pre-orders had been completely erased from the servers but Walmart confirms the data is still stored safely on the servers and a computer glitch had caused the information to not show up during searches done by customers.

Both Bioware and Walmart have stated had the pre-orders been erased, they would still have honored them as long as a receipt was presented.

Quote:
Bioware’s Online Community Manager Stephen Reid reached out to forum users to address the issue:
“Hello everyone,
We will investigate this issue ASAP, although we may not have further details to share before Monday.
I obviously cannot speak on behalf of any retailer, however I would like to let people know who have pre-ordered and redeemed their pre-order code, that their Early Game Access is still secured. You may apply any Game Code from any edition of The Old Republic to your account.
As of right now, it seems that Walmart is the only retailer to cancel The Old Republic preorders. With the story breaking over Saturday night and into Sunday morning, it’s likely that an official explanation / mea culpa is impending.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is slated to release for the PC on December 20, so any preorder disruptions at this juncture are a major issue for all involved. Let us know if you’re experiencing the same issue and what the response has been so far from Walmart in the comments or in our forums.”“It’s Ravi from Walmart’s media relations team – I want to clarify and hopefully ease any confusion about this. Please rest assured, no orders or pre-orders have been canceled due to this issue. We did have a technical error that unfortunately caused some customers’ order statuses to show their pre-order had been canceled, but that is not the case. Customers who previously pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic will still get their game when it launches later this month and we’re in the process of emailing all customers within the next 24 hours to let them know. In the meantime, they’re invited to contact us if they have questions. We apologize for any confusion or disturbance in The Force this created.”

The future for the Legend of Zelda series could involve funademntal changes according to the current producer for the series, Eiji Aonuma.

He hinted the series has reached a point where it must begin to move away from Miyamoto's current direction into a newer direction for the future of the series to stay strong.

Quote:
"I started working on the series not at the beginning but part-way through its history" ... "I think because of that, early on I was more looking objectively at the series and how we could change small, individual elements within it, rather than looking at how the series should evolve.

"As time has passed—particularly in the last few years—I've started to think a lot more about how I can take the series and really make it my own Zelda and evolve it further. As [Nintendo's head of game development] Mr. Miyamoto has allowed me to take the reins of the Zelda series, ultimately that's what I need to do. Perhaps some people will think it's a little bit late for me to start thinking about that, but as time goes by, that's becoming more of a theme in how I'm approaching the series."
Aonuma did mention the idea of a full cast for voice acting in the series isn't a plan Miyamoto nor himself has any real desire to implement with the issues revolving around the idea of Link having a voice. Both have mentioned the special connection Link has with the player and are worried of the bond potentially being lost (or ruined) should the character end up having his own voice in a game.

Skyward Sword was meant to be the first game where Aonuma held most of the power over the direction of the game and series unlike past games that followed Miyamoto's plans or visions.

"If enough of you fine men have purchased ________, I offer gentleman's contest between factions. It would be a private match between _______ and ______. I will be back for your reply later in the day. I hope, with curious glee, that your answer is most pleasing to my expectations. Perhaps if this fine contest is most acceptable we can continue these bouts between our competitive bands in other ventures. Though I do not aim to wish you away with my final revelation, I must admit my brothers in arms are most effective in the subjectively stimulating art of fucking people up. I hope in the darkest recesses of my heart and soul that you find this particularly motivational. I leave you fine men to your internal counsel."

Anytime the words "Zelda" and "voice acting" are mentioned in the same sentence, I get nervous.

It's been fine with just text and grunting noises for the past 25 years. If it doesn't need VA by now, it never will and I hope they never give it VA.

Mostly, I'm worried that they'd cast everyone with either American or Upper Class English accents. American to "appeal to more people" or English because those in media seems to think England was the only place that ever had swords, castles and princesses.
I've said it a few thousand times already but, if they did do voices, it would make more sense to have them be Scottish because a lot of the enemies, characters and ideas are found in Scottish myth. I've not seen as much from other cultures in the game.
They'd never do Scottish if they did have to do VA.

I'm glad VA isn't something they plan to do. I hope it stays that way. I'm curious as to what the changes to the series would be.

Skyward Sword hasn't felt very "open" so far so, if that's any indications to what the future will be like, I'm guessing we'll get a more linear game (by Zelda standards).

Feel like Drakul didn't really read that article.
