Of course, it'd be nice if they didn't bury indie releases so it'd be easier to find.

A recent bug was discovered on the Xbox marketplace's website where the "Try Demo" option to download a game onto the Xbox 360 ended up becoming an actual purchase of the game if MS points were discovered on the account.

It appears the "Try Demo" button somehow became glitched which makes the server think a "Buy Now" has been requested instead of a demo option for a game. To make matters worse, the confirmation screen shown to users is the generic screen used for both options but doesn't state an actual purchase is being made instead of a demo choice.

Quote:
If you’re logged out of Xbox.com right now and click on “Try Demo,” of, say, Fruit Ninja Kinect, you’re then presented with a login screen. After typing in your Windows Live ID information, the bubbly Avatar appears. Soon, a pop-up window shows up, displaying a confirmation page to make sure everything's a-okay.

In the process of logging in, however, Xbox.com will mysteriously switch from “Try Demo” to “Buy Game.” One costs money, the other doesn't. It’s reasonable to wonder why one would just click “Confirm Purchase” without careful reading, except that “Confirm Purchase” is the same button that shows up when you want to download a trial version, too. “Confirm Purchase” is the generic term used on the site when approving a download in all cases.

Anyone who’s used to hitting “Confirm Purchase” for both paid and free content on XBL could reasonably click without a moment’s hesitation and suddenly find themselves with 800 (or more) Microsoft Points tossed out the door.
Microsoft is aware of the situation and are currently working to fix the issue although no news on if affected accounts will be restored automatically or if Customer Service is needed. Microsoft also didn't state if the glitch was the result of the recent overhaul for the marketplace and dashboard for Kinect compatibility.

But all games should be FPS as it is a superio genre.

To be fair, with EA mandating multiplayer elements, is this even a surprise?

Don't really care anymore, since they seem to want to make stripped down shooters and WOW clones now.

Yeah I figured as much, but I was more dreaming along the lines of the custom build characters from the original being held over into the second one as well.

In interviews with both the Associated Press and Zoomin Games, Shigeru Miyamoto reveals his current development plans involve a brand new "original title" along with his reactions from the incorrect news about his retirement.

Besides confirming development on Pikmin 3 for the Wii U and Luigi's Mansion 2 for the 3DS, Miyamoto also revealed he's is working on a third "undisclosed original title." While he didn't mention anything about the title itself, he did provide a hint of it won't have photo realistic graphics nor is it based on anything he's previously worked on.

Quote:
"when it comes to the realistic games, you have to create something familiar. I [Miyamoto] personally want to make something really different."
Quote:
“People have come to expect a lot from me. This certainly makes me feel some pressure,” noted Miyamoto. “But if you ask me, ‘Is it too much pressure to try to come out with something new?’ I have to say no, I’m enjoying myself. But when I make something, I always try to do my best.”
In terms of the incorrect story about him retiring from Nintendo, Miyamoto was a bit shocked at how huge the reaction became especially the part about him splitting away time from developing games in order to mentor the younger developers in the company. He believes once he's finally ready to retire, the same characters and franchises he helped create at Nintendo will last well beyond his own lifetime.

Quote:
“I was pretty surprised with the reactions that the people had against the comment that I made,” said Miyamoto to the Associated Press. “I really appreciate all the kindness given the kind of comments I made. But to be clear, I have no intention to retire at all. I'm not old enough to think about retirement right now, but everybody has to retire at some point. I wanted to make clear that we are preparing for that.”

Lego Harry Potter was pretty boring. Lego Star Wars and Andiana Jones were pretty fun.

I'd say it's easy to distinguish them.

David Jaffe reveals some new info about the upcoming Twisted Metal game while also debunking a bunch of recent rumors floating as well.

While pictures of the game's kiosks in stores make it seem like it will support the PS Move and 3D capabilities, neither will actually be included in the game. There was some initial plans for 3D support but they didn't have enough time nor a large enough development team to actually work on the idea.

In terms of costs, it will take about double the sales of what Twisted Metal Black gained just to break even or about 1-2 million sales in order for future games in the series to get the "green light" status.

DLC will only be considered if the game sells well enough to create an actual demand for additional content due to the company having other projects to work on.

The game will also be the last game lead by David Jaffe as he has gotten tired of making combat games. It doesn't mean the series will go on hiatus though since another producer can take over if future games are approved.

Finally, no PS Vita version is being planned nor will the co-op include online play since its just local co-op for the story.

It's being rumoured to be comparable to the current 360.

Will it? Who knows?

While last week the court case involving Interplay and Bethesda was settled last week, the details of the results over the use of the Fallout series were revealed today.

Interplay looses all current rights to the Fallout series in regards to their originally planned MMO game while Bethesda has announced they will be taking over in making the next game an MMO title.

Interplay did receive $2 million in compensation for the work already done but was much lower than they requested and were expecting to at least own the rights for the MMO game. They also are allowed to hold the rights to sell the original Fallout games (Fallout, Fallout 2 PC, and Fallout Tactics) until 2013 when Bethseda will gain full control over the older games.

Quote:
The ruckus began back in 2007- after Interplay sold the Fallout franchise to Bethesda in 2004- Bethesda licensed Interplay certain rights to create the Fallout MMO. The rights came with the conditions that Interplay had to maintain a production schedule, and secure a determined amount of financing. Bethesda claimed that neither requirement was met, and removed their gloves to engage in legal fisticuffs.

2) id Software confirms earlier rumors of potentially large layoffs within the company but have not stated if the laid off workers came only from the Rage development team or if the upcoming Doom 4 team was affected by the cuts.

3) Ubisoft announces Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will have a release date of May 22 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, the multiplayer beta for the console versions will start in April, and the PC version is set to arrive at a later date.

EA announces free DLC for both Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will be available to gamers who play the demos of both games. The only catch is to unlock stuff for one game, the other game's demo needs to be played.

EA did not mention which demo for Mass Effect 3 unlocks items due to the game expecting to have 2 separate demos with one for just single player and the other for multiplayer.

The demo for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a timed demo with a 45 minute timer for playing but doesn't start until after a user's character is created.

Quote:
Unlock items in Mass Effect 3 from Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo

*Reckoner Knight Armor: This armor will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity.
* The Chakram Launcher: This weapon uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive ammunition discs. This weapon is earned after completing the Reckoning demo and watching the trailer at the end.


Unlock items in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo, followed by Mass Effect 3 demo

* N7 Armor: Players can unlock special armor inspired by Commander Shepard’s iconic N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and Greaves.
* Onmiblade Daggers: A holographic blade stemming from Commander Shepard’s Omni-Tool, the Omni-blade allows players to stab enemies in close combat. Once players install and play the Mass Effect 3 demo, they will unlock the daggers.
* Twist of Fate Card: This card boosts the player’s ice resistance and is immediately unlocked when he or she activates the Reckoning demo using his or her Origin account.
* Twinned Souls Chakram: A unique weapon that damages enemies while boosting player health and mana in Reckoning.
* The Infernal Helm: Unlocked after completing the Reckoning Tutorial Mode, this protective helmet increases players’ fire damage throughout Amalur.

So this pre-order promo is basically Dragon Age 2. Play that demo, unlock a weapon in the game. But you also had to subscribe to alot of newsletters and shit at EA to get even more stuff for the game.

Oh god, is that dumb.

KOA seems like a decent enough venture, but nothing's really popped about it.

I'm kind of hoping it's good but expecting it to suck.

Tecmo Koei reveals the contents of the collector's edition for Ninja Gaiden 3 although didn't reveal the actual price which is still expected to be around $99.

The set includes the game, an art book, a soundtrack CD, a figure set of Ryu killing an enemy, and a demo code to get the exclusive 4-character demo for Dead of Alive 5.

The DoA 5 demo can also be pre-ordered for the regular game at Gamestop or Amazon but only include 2 characters (different based on where pre-order was done).

The collector's set was also confirmed once again to only be available at Gamestop.

I work at an Eb up here in Alberta, and used game sales make up like none of our sales.

Each night we have to calculate the percentage of our sales for the day that were used. It usually comes out to 1 or 2 percent of our daily total.

Each EB Games is supposed to have thirty to fourty percent of it's total sales made up by used games, but none of the stores break past five to ten percent at most.

Edit: Basically what I'm saying is that EB/Gamestop isn't really killing the industry. If they sold a larger percentage then sure, but as it stands now, they're not really different than your Wal-Marts, Best Buys or Future Shops.

That's crazy it's dropped that low. I was a District Manager for that company about 4 years ago, and all of my stores (15) ran at least 27%; the the regional average (about 72 stores) was right at 30%.

Edit: Basically what I'm saying is that EB/Gamestop isn't really killing the industry. If they sold a larger percentage then sure, but as it stands now, they're not really different than your Wal-Marts, Best Buys or Future Shops.
Minch takes a comment that was a swipe at the game industry attitude of damage to the games industry and turns it into a lecture as though they were in any way my real feelings on the matter.

Hooray predictability.

I was a part time employee at Gamestop once until I was fired for snorting coke off the surface of our game discs and I can tell you with aauthority that this has never happened!

I wasn't attacking you, I was just using your post as a launchpad to explain about how EB Games in my region works.

I know one around here does. Damn sure I've seen "preowned" stickers at at least one Wal Mart.
