Philosophy and 'topical themes' are nice but if you wanna make Perfect Dark I'll need to see gameplay. Nice Laptop Gun cameo tho.

According to a report from Sky News, Take-Two's recent purchase of racing genre developer Codemasters ended up being dropped because of EA.

Codemasters originally agreed to a $975 million takeover deal by Take-Two but before it could be finalized, EA swooped in and countered with a $1.2 billion offer for the studio.

Last month, we reported on how publisher Take-Two Interactive was in the final stages of purchasing developer Codemasters, with the latter having agreed to a non-binding offer from the former which had valued the UK studio at around $6.40-per-share, or roughly $975 million USD.

But, in a sudden and surprising move, Electronic Arts made a last-minute bid this weekend, successfully swooping in and snatching up the studio before the ink has dried on the Take-Two agreement. It is believed that EA put in a late offer at around $7.98-per-share, ultimately valuing Codemasters at around $1.2 billion USD. Codemasters is expected to close the deal in early 2021 ...

Given that Electronic Arts owns franchises such as Need for Speed and Burnout, it seems obvious why the publisher would be interested in bringing Codemasters on board, with the developer having long proven their pedigree with road-rippers such as DIRT, OnRush, and the F1 series.

Considering EA's track record with buying new studios in recent times, Codemasters long term future not looking that good.

The Steam sale is on, you glorious bastards!

I'm probably going to buy Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice; I want something that is going to abuse me and fill me with despair, but have me coming back for more like some masochistic fuck.

Well, if it's anything like The Old Republic with a Destiny-like style, this could be interesting. Big open world games are Ubisoft's thing.

Just curious as to how much of the Massive staff is on this since some are probably still keeping Division 2 going.

And a Diablo II remake is being done by Vicarious Visions (Crash Bandicoot remakes, other stuff too probably).


Good stuff.

Supposedly it's some outfit not even on the radar in the gaming industry handling KOTOR.

BUT, if it's a full on remake of the first 2 and the chatter about getting that into canon is true, I can see Bluepoint handling it.

Incredible. Hopefully they stay true to the original art style. I put so much time into Diablo 2, it was a huge part of my teenage gaming years. Used to rush home from school just to play with my online friends.
Diablo III was a gigantic disappointment, Blizzard doesn't know how to do atmosphere in games anymore.

Google is currently in the process of shutting down their internal gaming studios and sticking to just signing deals with third party devs and publishers to provide games for their Stadia streaming service.

In a blog post, he cited the "exponentially" rising costs involved with "creating best-in-class games from the ground up."

"Over the coming months, most of the SG&E team will be moving on to new roles," he said. "We're committed to working with this talented team to find new roles and support them." At least one high-profile name, Jade Raymond, is out – she "decided to leave Google to pursue other opportunities."

According to reporting from Kotaku, Google's closure of its Montréal and Los Angeles development studios will "impact around 150 developers" ...

As for where Google's cloud-gaming ambitions are headed, Harrison is staying on-board as VP and GM of Stadia, and he's pursuing more partnerships with external game developers and publishers.

The ESA reportedly is currently working on plans for this year's E3 event to be a digital-only style event.

Only problem is they need to convince enough publishers to support the idea or could potentially be looking at another year without E3 due to coronavirus pandemic issues.

The ESA's proposed event is trying to line up support from major publishers, but the idea for a remote E3 would potentially include "multiple two-hour keynote sessions from games partners, an awards show, a June 14 preview night, and other smaller streams from games publishers, influencers, and media partners," as VGC summarizes. Throughout 2020, publishers offered playable previews of upcoming games through streaming apps like Parsec; that would also be the case for this new E3 ...

The cancellation of E3 2020 and lack of a digital-only replacement opened the path for Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest alternative – to say nothing of smaller and mid-tier publishers rallying with their own one-off streams and showcases. We can expect Summer Game Fest to return in 2021.

Thankfully, the next iteration will be shorter – "less than one month," according to Keighley.

EA top brass will be doing a review of BioWare's Anthem reboot later during the week. It's pretty much going to determine if EA will continue to back it or just give it up.

According to CD Projekt RED, the company was recently hit with a major cyber attack.

Among the data stolen from their servers was the source code to Cyberpunk 2077. The hackers also sent a ransom note threatening to leak it and other sensitive company files online if their demands were not met.

CDPR has said that - to the best of its knowledge - no data involving players' personal information is at risk.

In a surprising move, CDPR also released a copy of the "ransom note" it received from the hacker(s), requesting that CDPR contact the individual(s) responsible or face public release of the hacked documents, source code, and other data files. CDPR has said it will "not give in to the demands nor negotiate with the actor, being aware that this may eventually lead to the release of the compromised data."

The studio is currently investigating the security breach with the help of its IT analysts, law enforcement officials, and the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.

Sony is currently facing the possibility of being hit with a class-action lawsuit soon in regards to drift issues with the PS5 controller.

Unlike Nintendo's issues with Switch joycons, seems PS5's drift problems can be triggered quicker and with less wear-and-tear usage needed.

If I remember correctly, drift and thumbstick issues becoming a growing problem with controllers these days is mostly due to the current standard for thumbstick tech and design. Add in manufacturing issues like Nintendo has been experiencing and that's the recipe for controllers being less reliable these days for long-term usage. Plus some issues with Bluetooh and/or wireless tech inside the controllers as well.

U.S. law firm Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith (CSK&D) has stepped into the situation, announcing that it is beginning an investigation of the complaints, with an eye to filing a class action lawsuit against Sony Interactive Entertainment ...

This is not CSK&D's first rodeo, as it is one of a number of firms that has previously launched a class action suit against Nintendo when the troublesome controller fault affected myriad Switch owners. CSK&D's 2019 suit was ultimately compelled to arbitration, (essentially asking the plaintiff and the defendant to come to private resolution), after the presiding judge refused to dismiss the case.

Thankfully not had to deal with drift on any controller I have. This sounds bad tho, and Sony should do what they can to get in front of it like Nintendo did if true.

* Update on the recent CD Projekt RED hacking attack news as the hacker group responsible, called HelloKitty, recently held an auction on the "dark web" and sold the source code for Cyberpunk 2077 and other stolen data files for an alleged amount of around $7 million.

* Update on the recent Sony's PS5 controller "drift" issues news as U.S. law firm Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith (CSK&D) filed a class against lawsuit against Sony this past Friday over claims of Sony being fully aware and purposely negligent over resolving the PS5 controller's drift issues.

Capcom is rumored to be currently working on a new Resident Evil Revelations game. The rumor also hints that this game is currently expected to be released within a year of RE Village's release and as a timed exclusive for the Switch.

They clarify the news by saying that it likely won't be called Revelations 3, but possibly Resident Evil Outrage, as Capcom seemingly is moving away from the Revelations moniker.

It'll be part of the 25th anniversary celebration, "along with Village," and Dusk Golem claims that Revelations 3 (or whatever title it ends up with) is "almost definitely going to be a Switch timed exclusive." All of this will allegedly happen "later this year," as Capcom announces another Resident Evil marketing blitz post-Village launch.

Seems like a bad choice to have sword controls tied to the right analog joycon for the Zelda remake.


Gonna make cameras wonky. Feel like they would have done better with an Ocarina of Time reboot.

If they do any other quality-of-life tweaks to the game besides the controls, hope it involves scaling back on the amount of hand holding and talking by Fi and the annoying issue of how it treated getting items every time you started a new play session.

Plus maybe make the first hour or two of the game more enjoyable or less sluggish in pacing although that might be a bit harder because of how story and world building heavy it was.

Konami is currently rumored to be working on a new game in the Silent Hill series, according to VGC.

This new game isn't being developed by Konami themselves and instead by a "prominent Japanese developer" with plans to officially reveal it during this summer.

Same source also claims that Konami is also currently working on plans for a potential new game to be made for both the Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania series.

The outlet heard from sources that a Supermassive pitch didn't move forward, and that Konami has "outsourced a Silent Hill project to a prominent Japanese developer, with a reveal due this summer."

(The author noted on Twitter that it's not Kojima Productions – a frequent guess – and added that Konami is eying externally-developed Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania projects further out.)

On a separate but (maybe) related note, potentially suggesting that there could be more than one modern interpretation of Silent Hill, speculation has come out of a GamesIndustry.biz interview with Bloober Team CEO Peter Babieno, in which he commented on the studio's next horror game.

Babieno says they've "been working for more than a year on another gaming project, another horror IP, and we're doing this with a very famous gaming publisher. I can't tell you who. I can't tell you what the project is, but I'm pretty sure when people realize we're working on it, they will be very excited."

The suit, originally filed back in October 2020 and moved to a New York federal court last week, alleges that Google, alongside developers Bungie and id Software, stated that the Stadia service would feature 4K resolution support, but did not walk back or correct this statement once it was openly reported that Stadia was upscaling several titles from resolutions such as 1080p and 1440p, rather than offering "true" 4K resolution.

The Plaintiff alleges that publishers such as id Software "sold access to Doom Eternal, and other games, through the Google Stadia subscription and wrongfully generated millions of dollars in revenue as a result." The suit seeks non-specific monetary compensation for Stadia purchasers, and requests Google accurately and publicly display Stadia's resolution and FPS on all included titles going forward. Like many class-action suits, the case could take years to reach its conclusion.
