A bunch of PS4 rumors were supposedly leaked with the big ones being a late 2013 release date, codename of "Orbis", and requires a constant internet connection.
The project is rumored to be codenamed "Orbis" which could end up as part of the final name similar to Vita ending up being added as a new name to the Playstation family. It could also hint at continued connectivity between the handheld and the system due to Orbis meaning "Circle of" and Vita meaning "Life" in Latin. Rumored specs involve AMD providing both the CPU and GPU with GPU a "Southern Islands" brand and the CPU being an x64 processor. Quote:
Now for the potentially bad news, it appears Sony won't bother at all with backwards compatibility for PS3 games (software or hardware). Also rumored is the next Playstation could be leaning towards not allowing used games to be played similar to rumors of the next Xbox. Quote:

Anyone that has a Kinect and wants 40G, two props, glasses and a shirt for your Avatar. There is a new social app on the 360 called Voice Studio.
You just have to read out the on screen phrases aloud to help improve the voice recognition of Kinect. You get awards and achievements for doing it. It takes longer to upload the data than it takes to talk through the phrases, though. |

More bad news for THQ as the company announces more layoffs and the rumors of the MMO Warhammer game being cancelled ends up becoming true.
THQ officially confirms the Warhammer 40,000 MMO game called "Dark Millennium" has been cancelled with the main reasoning being THQ unable to find another company to help finance the game. The game was originally meant to play a huge role as a revenue stream for 2013 but now won't be possible and makes THQ's future look a lot bleaker now. As a result THQ has laid off employees from several studios who were working on the game with 79 employees laid off from Vigil Games and another 39 from Relic Entertainment. THQ will also downgrade the project from an MMO to just a regular game with the focus on the single player adventure instead of completely scrapping the project. The game will include an online multiplayer but without any of the features the MMO was originally planned to contain. The news is the second time this year THQ had to lay off and cancel projects with 240 employees previously laid off in February. As well as the CEO of the company taking a 50% pay cut due to the terrible $55 million loss from the third quarter report. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/warham...nd-vigil/4060/ _____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) PS3 exclusive Journey became the all-time fastest selling downloadable PSN game in the US. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...psn-game-ever/ 2) Gearbox announces the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines will be the definitive version to buy with the tablet controller providing a lot more content and gameplay possible than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will have. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...much-to-offer/ 3) The boss of Silicon Knights, Denis Dyack, believes used games will end up "dooming" the industry with his main reasoning being used games are the reason why game prices have risen and new games losing long term revenue. http://kotaku.com/5897199/denis-dyac...ntire-industry Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 03-29-2012 at 09:33 PM.

Also, new games aren't losing revenue, long term or otherwise. also, that's delicious, given the state of THQ, who has tried to combat used sales of late. I know they blame EVERYTHING on UDraw and casual games, but they would have had to have manufactured like a billion UDraws to get where they are. Though it's moot to me. The only THQ series I cared about was SR, and it looks like Volition is douching things up too. |

The uDraw fiasco could have actually been prevented had THQ not abruptly cut support from the existing uDraw user base on the Wii (1-2 million in size). If they had supplemented the launch with some more Wii uDraw games, they could have recovered some of the losses but instead had nothing for the holiday season.

The titles they did release sold like ass, and they had like 1.5 million units sitting unsold.
I'm not sure this is a better solution you're on. |

Why? Only gamers are entitled! Corporations are SUPPOSED to make money! And even though Saints Row the Third was their best-selling, non-licensed title to date doesn't mean they didn't want/need/deserve more money on top of that!
And so what if my code wasn't recognised for like 15 minutes before finally going through, and there were connectivity issues because of that? Punishing the customer for the wrongs perpetuated by pirates and used consumers is totally fair and within their rights! I hope they lock out used games next generation, because I'm fifteen and don't have to worry about money for another three years, and probably even longer! And if you don't like it, don't buy it! ...Oh. |

Sega announces due to recent financial hardships by both them and Sammy (parent company), they are restructuring the entire company with layoffs and game project cancellations in progress.
The main issue is the company itself is bleeding out cash while Sammy is unable to offset the losses due to themselves also having financial problems. The good news is the situation is not as severe as THQ's ongoing problems and the projects not cancelled are still on track for their release dates. The Japanese branch of the company will not be affected with the changes only affecting both the US and European branches. Quote:

I wanted a Rampage Kinect game as soon as I saw that concept video showing a Rampage style game when Kinect was first revealed.
I love Rampage. Though I never touched the Wii game. I hope they decide to just go for it, even if it is just an XBLA game. I'd rather they went back to the style of the PS1 games with Scummlabs being a science lab and not a drinks company or whatever they were on the Wii version. I'd love another "Newscast" intro as well. Always found them funny, as a kid. |

Ridge Racer Unbounded is great. Nice mix between Burnout, Split/Second and Ridge Racer. Just bring your own custom soundtrack, damn dubstep.
Also seems fucking hard so far... In a good way. |

A bunch of rumors for all three upcoming next generation consoles with people thinking the Wii U has less power than the 3DS, the next Xbox to require a constant internet connection, and Sony in a race to be out before Microsoft.
Based on a potentially bogus claim of an upcoming financial report from Rockstar, the Wii U could be having a November 18 release date. Also rumored from another source is the Wii U somehow went backwards in overall power with the system being a lot weaker than the PS3, Xbox 360, and 3DS. Sony is rumored to be rushing through the final stages of their next Playstation console with the company's goal to prevent Microsoft from having another head start. Quote:

Porn company, Brazzers, to support the Fighting Game Community
Posted on April 02, 2012 by OG Joe "LI Joe" Ciaramelli, a fighting game veteran, has been able to bring together the Fighting Game Community and the porn industry in an unprecedented way. In recent months, Joe had stated how he wanted to have Brazzers - a porn production company specializing in online HD video - as his sponsor. Today, in a special stream on his Twitch channel, Joe spoke with Rob Steele, Brazzer's Director of Special Events, and Steele announced that Brazzers will begin supporting the Fighting Game Community and will sponsor LI Joe at events. While no specifics where given on when and where, it appears that Brazzers will have its own fighting game event as well as possible sponsorships of players. Hopefully we'll hear more in the future from Brazzers regarding their support of the Fighting Game Community as I'm sure many fans of fighting games and porn are incredibly excited for the future. |

In a meeting with the Better Business Bureau, Capcom states they see no difference between content which is locked on purpose on the disc and providing the same content in a traditional DLC way.
They feel it actually benefits the consumer more if the content or at least the majority of the content is already on the disc to make future DLC downloads a lot quicker and save space on their hard drives. Their official statement to the Better Business Bureau: Quote:
