Some marketing exec has decided that PSN will be SEN (Sony Entertainment Network) from 7th Feb.

Can see some marketing exec thinking this will make us forget about the downtime while "increasing synergy across the Sony brand to make me forget about my worthlessness as a human being".

And now that fine detail is considerably easier to see in HD, the guys handling the graphical side of the games have to put a lot more of that fine detail into crafting the models so they don't look like shit on a 50 inch flat panel screen pumping out visuals in 1080p. That is both time consuming and expensive. Do you think a world as expansive and graphically detailed as Red Dead Redemption took the same amount of effort, time and money to make as pretty much anything on the Wii? If you have a Wii, go grab a component cable for it, plug it into a 46"1080p LCD tv and see how "amazing" it looks. It looks a little shit. There's only so much a component cable can do to smooth out the jaggies and textures; Wii games just look bad on HD tvs.
If they look like shit at 720p, they'll look like shit at 480p, except they'll look even shitter because they'll have extra TV scaling involved.

The difference in processing power between a Wii and a PS3/360 is a different thing. Also, the thing about the way MS forces 720p to increase available power isn't true. Halo 3, for example, renders at 640p and that image is simply upscaled and output at 720p - that process of upscaling is not demanding. That's the point I was trying to make - outputing at 720p doesn't put pressure on anyone because the hardware was built to output at it.

What resolution will the WiiU screen be?

On the other hand, they're shifting away from their iconic brand.

Though either way, it will make that exec feel less worthless for a few moments.

Naughty Dog reveals some new details about The Last of Us for the PS3 with the promise of multiplayer being added and more details involving the story.

In terms of the story, the game starts out with the main character, Joel, and his daughter escaping a military safe zone. The military controls all the safe zones and executes anyone infected as their first priority. The infection, similar to Resident Evil, mainly occurs in urban or highly dense areas with any area not controlled by the military seen as a hazardous zone.

Naughty Dog also hinted the story is set up to prevent sequels or cliffhanger endings but did not rule out the potential of the game becoming a series.

The gameplay itself is a bit heavy on the escort style but while Joel is the main playable character for the game, it was teased in previous announcements the daughter can be playable in certain segments of the game.

In terms of multiplayer, the studio confirms the game will have some sort of online multiplayer but as of right now they are just tossing and working on ideas. The main focus is on working the single player portion of the game with the multiplayer to be added in last.

Quote:
Finally when asked about an online mode Bruce Straley, the game’s Director, revealed that the game is, ”going to have some sort of online component.”

“We’re working on a bunch of ideas, but we haven’t nailed anything down. We definitely know it’s going to be awesome,” he added.

3) A new game in the Jax and Daxter series was being considered as the next project for Naughty Dog with the new game having an Uncharted-like feel but eventually was scrapped in favor of The Last of Us.

4) According to Kotaku's impressions with the upcoming public demo, Resiednt Evil Racoon City might be plagued with the same dumb AI on a worse level than RE5 had which somewhat ruins playing the game alone.

A potential sequel for Psychonauts could become a reality after earlier today Notch and Mojong studio, developers of Minecraft, offered to help fund a potential sequel if Double Fine agreed.

While they don't have enough money to fund the whole game, they would be offering enough to help jump start the development while Double Fine searches for a larger publisher to help fund the rest.

The biggest issue besides funding is Double Fine can't just start working on the game right away due to the company breaking down into smaller development teams a few years ago as part of the company's restructuring plans. The plans allowed for more smaller games to be made at once with the main focus on XBLA and Kinect type games. It would take some time to reorganize the whole company back into one large team to actually work on the potential sequel.

Wonder if they are going to finish the version that free radical started. It was almost finished, so it seems like the practical route.

I hope so because the idea of a space battle and ground battle going on at the same time, and being able to traverse between both in real time is fucking orgasmic.

Activision reveals more details about the upcoming Battleship game with the game having first person shooting levels and the game itself is a very loose interpretation on both the upcoming movie and the classic board game from Hasbro.

Universal Pictures and Double Helix are helping out developing the game with Double Helix doing most of the actual development.

In terms of storyline, the upcoming movie is more futuristic and sci-fi based while the game itself will barely follow the movie's own story. The game will have a completely different character be controlled who apparently isn't on the same ship the movie follows.

Quote:
The game will apparently follow a storyline wholly separate from the one that features Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, and Alexander Skarsgaard fighting aliens (and also Liam Neeson collecting yet another paycheck.) Instead, you'll play as Cole Mathis, some manner of demolitions expert who is not on a battleship, yet is somehow capable of commanding a number of battleships while fighting off the aforementioned ocean aliens.

The game will split its battles into first-person shooter sequences and tactical "Battle Command" sequences, where you tactically position ships into tactical situations to tactically defeat the alien enemies, presumably while using tactics.
The game will be released initially for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April in Europe and May in the US. A completely different version of the game will then arrive on the Wii, DS, and 3DS at a later unannounced date with Magic Pockets as the developer.

Basically involved the future direction of the company since both sides want to go more "casual" to help out with development and costs. The company is favoring going heavy on mobile games while Jaffe wants more browser-based games and keeping the big budget games.

The company itself is shrinking a bit by around 20% once the whole thing is done (laid off and people leaving with Jaffe).

I think the future of Twisted Metal also was a small reason considering Jaffe is done with the series while Sony or the company might look into more games or DLC content.

Double Fine and Tim Scaffer held a public online fundraiser with the goal to generate around $400,000 within a month as part of their plan to fund a classic Point-and-Click adventure game as their next project.

While the genre itself is no where near as strong as it was during the late 1980s and early 90s, Schaffer wanted to relive part of his past development with a brand new adventure game in the classic point-and-click style.

The goal was to set the development of the game to around 6-8 months and a release date of late 2012 for Steam. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to bring in a big publisher to help fund the game, they decided to hold a public fundraiser on Kickstarter. The initial goal was about $400,000 in 33 days.

The end result ended up having the goal surpassed within a day as the initial amount was raised within hours and the first day shattering the all-time record on Kickstarter for both amount ($600,000+) and contributors (16,000+). As of the time the report was updated, over $1 million was raised so far.

It is also assumed the large amounts in both funds and backers is related to the news days earlier of Notch and Mojong willing to help fund the development of Psychonauts 2. This could have convinced people to help support that game's development by over-donating so the leftover funds are used to help develop Psychonauts 2.

Rumors are stating both Sony and Guerrilla Games instead will be giving the game an HD treatment (either alone or as a set) to help justify a higher price tag than the usual $10 for PS2 games on PSN.

DOTA 2 could end up being delayed from its original release as Blizzard has sued Valve over the rights to the series with a court date set in the near future.

Blizzard is claiming Valve's use of the name and the MOBA style (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is in violation to their exclusive association used in the Warcraft series.

Quote:
"Valve seeks to appropriate the more than seven years of goodwill that Blizzard has developed in the mark DOTA and in its Warcraft III computer game, and take for itself a name that has come to signify the product of years of time and energy expended by Blizzard and by fans of Warcraft III.”
While Blizzard themselves did not create the original DOTA game, it was created from the Warcraft community using mod tools from Blizzard's Warcraft II game. The MOBA style was also created as a result for use in MMO and RTS type games. Blizzard is trying to claim ownership for both DOTA and MOBA as a result of both being done using their game as the basis.

Also, BOO to the whole tablet controller thing.

Unless it's optional. I don't want to have tablet gaming a mainstay of my console gaming.

Of course, there's a good chance it's false, so here's hoping.

Epic Games reveals a some of their plans concerning the Unreal 4 engine during this year's DICE convention with the main part being the engine will debut this year.

The first game to use the new engine will arrive later this year although the studio did not mention if it will be another tech demo (ala Samaritan last year) or an actual fully developed game. The earliest the current project could be shown would be at GDC (Game Developer's Conference) in March but most likely would be debuted at this year's E3 convention.

Quote:
"People are going to be shocked later this year when they see Unreal Engine 4 and how much more profound an effect it will have."
Epic Games also hinted both the tech used in the Samaritan demo and the upcoming Unreal 4 engine is meant mainly for the next generation of consoles due to them having no plans to modify the engine to work on current consoles. The main reason being the Samaritan demo alone is roughly 10 times more powerful than the GPU in the Xbox 360.

Quote:
One of the most startling games of the 80's was Karateka, a martial arts action title by Jordan Mechner. At the time of its release, the fluid animations and dramatic elements were a huge leap from where most videogames were and laid the groundwork for the game Mechner is best known for, Prince of Persia.

Now, Mechner has announced that he's returning to feudal Japan to remake Karateka for modern consoles, with plans for the title to release this year on the download services. This marks the first time that the designer has taken an active role in development since Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which is bound to get people salivating a little bit.

Karateka was a great game back in 1984, but it's also a pretty dull one by modern standards. It's not the sort of thing that, even when I'm at my most nostalgic, I think would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. Hopefully Mechner still has it in him to spice that up.
Played Karateka endlessly in grade school

Double Fine revealed some new details about the classic point-and-click adventure game who's funds were generated on the Kickstarter website.

The game itself will not carry any DRM restrictions and is set for release on the PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and certain Android devices. The game's budget will also be increased to create a larger game than originally planned with voice acting and more languages supported for in-game text.

Anyone who donated $15 or more to the project will receive a beta invite which will occur on Steam and revealed at a later date.

Notch from Mojong also updated his status of potentially helping with the funding of a Psychonauts sequel by stating he will meet with Tim Schaffer during this year's GDC convention. He also wanted expectations to be adjusted for the potential sequel to prevent too an overboard in hype in case the project doesn't get done for his and Double Fine's sake.

I bought Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box on a whim yesterday for £15. I bought it because I got my 360 for vanilla Burnout Paradise and thought I'd rebuy it as Ultimate so I got all the DLC because that's what I had heard the Ultimate Box was.

Got it home and turned it on and it only has bikes and some party mode, every other DLC isn't there, I still need to buy it. Why call it "Ultimate Box" and talk about it having everything when it doesn't actually have everything?

I wanted to drive the DeLoreon .

I probably could have just rebought the vanilla version for £10 cheaper if I knew all this.

The best thing is that a lot of the content in Ultimate Box is free.

It could be worse, you could have bought the PC version... You can't even buy things in the store in that anymore.

I've seen nothing that's free exclusively for the Ultimate Box. As far as I'm aware, all I got was the basic game, the Party mode, bikes and some other small tiny thing called "Cagney" which I'm guessing is a car or something.

I see they put a police car on the box art but Cops & Robbers isn't included. Neither are the Toy cars, even though there is what looks to be a colourful little truck in the background of the cover, in a slightly different style to the other cars. It looks a little "squished" like the toys.

I bought the film cars for the DeLoreon but in no rush for the rest of the DLC.

As far as I know, everything I got with the game is free anyway except for Party mode. There was an update called Burnout Paradise 1.9 that was about 1.2GBs but I thought everyone got that. It's small things like extra jumps.

It could be worse, you could have bought the PC version... You can't even buy things in the store in that anymore.
I thought Ultimate was the name for the PC version only.

The bikes were a free update, and so was "Cagney" (Cagney being the name of one of the updates).

So yes, what Has said is true. You are essentially buying the free updates.

I got the complete game + DLC on a PSN deal for less than what you paid, for the record.

only thing that miffs me is we never got the weather update that we were supposed to get before they stopped updating the game to go work on that shitty arcade game.

Well to be fair, they did make Need For Speed Hot Pursuit before that awful arcade game.

While Rocksteady crushed any rumors of them working on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, it appears Activision is working on a new game in the series.

The news was revealed during the currently showing Toy Fair expo in New York which showed Activision having plans to release a Turtles game in 2012.

It appears Activision has acquired rights to the series after Ubisoft dropped their license and THQ disbanded their kids division which held rights to the cartoon series.

Nickelodeon was also revealed to be collaborating with Activision on the game which means the game's source will be from the recent 2003 Turtles series and not the classic 80s or comic book series.

2003 Turtles was a good series, wasn't it? Never actually saw it, but I heard good things.
