THQ makes some predictions about the next generation of consoles and predicts games could reach $100 as a regular price.
Quote:
Game prices could go up but THQ also ignores how much money is gained from DLC and "collector" editions of games that has occurred during this generation of games. http://kotaku.com/5737565/game-studi...dware-horrible ------------------------------------------ For some bad news, Bizarre Creations (Bond Bloodstone, Blur, Geometry Wars) expected to shut down within a few weeks due to no buyers after Activision declared they wanted to get rid of the studio. Joining them will be Propaganda Games (Tron Evolution, Turok) since Disney has no interest in keeping the studio or selling. Big rumor is due to abysmal sales and interest from those games led Disney to shut down the studio. |

That's awful with Bizarre. Blur was OK but overshadowed by Red Dead and Split/Second on release and the Bond game was shit, but a licensed game with tight timescales never really come out good.
I know they left MS because they didn't want to keep churning out PGR's, but get in bed with the devil and expect some rough stuff. Fucking Activision. |

While Sony has been trying to sue and put restraining orders on hackers of the PS3, MS decided to invite the hackers of Windows Phone 7 down for a chat with the development director of Microsoft Mobile and even gave the guys this T-Shirt:
Not only that, but GeoHot, who is currently in Sony's crosshairs and has jailbroken revisions of the iPhone, tweeted that he was going to treat himself to a WP7, but MS offered him a free one. I feel dirty, treating MS like the good guy... |

If video games prices rise to 100 bucks per game then I will stop playing all together.

I don't think it will happen. It will be likely that there's fewer big budget blockbusters taking the big money out of the market and lots of smaller experiences, which I'm all for.

Huge news on a potential firmware update from Sony since they might have found a solution to the hack but at the same time going to make owning and selling a game tougher in the long run (more affected on used games than newer ones).

So then i guess no more Gamefly/video game rentals for the Playstation 3 aye? Seeing as how those discs get passed around more than Roxer's mom at a key party.

That would be retarded. They'd do that while the hackers continue playing without going online.
So the hackers win, again. |

Activision announces their plan for a spin-off from Call of Duty will be canceled for at least this year. The issue is due to Infinity Ward being understaffed and having problems meeting deadlines after the whole fiasco last year that led to a mass exodus from the studio.
Activision is now using Sledgehammer Games and Raven studios to help out IW in making Modern Warfare 3 for this Fall. Original plans were for Sledgehammer Games and Raven studios to team up and work on the spin-off as a way to get them used to making games in the series and to spread the series to at least 2 games a year. http://kotaku.com/5739152/report-mod...to-get-it-done -------------------------------------------------------------- The very short cord that was shown with the 3DS will not be the final AC adaptor cord when the 3DS goes on sale. Nintendo stated it was only used for display purposes and the real cord will be something similar to the DSi/XL cord since that cord also works on the 3DS. |

Can you imagine how it would play? I assume some Smash influences because of Sakurai, but Ono has a good grasp of attracting casuals to a deceptively competitive game. They would do something special, I think.

Haven't played Crysis in awhile. Looks like they improved the game by allowing multi ability use. Just looks like something we could get into. Guess we shall see.

Konami releases more info about the next Silent Hill and its official name is Silent Hill: Downpour. Vatra Games is the studio behind the newest game in the series and a new composer joined for the soundtrack.
Also hinted is how this time the town and settings will play a bigger role in the character's development and progress during the game than in previous Silent Hill games. Also expected is a more "edgier" game in mood with the rain being a big factor. Expected to be released sometime in Fall 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 with little chance of being on the PC at the moment. It could also get pushed to a 2012 date if it follows recent tradition of moves games away from Call of Duty or other mega-named games released late in the year. http://kotaku.com/5742052/get-a-good...st-silent-hill |

Dead Space II news:
Problems with the PC version of the game on Steam have lead to a lot of players who pre-loaded or bought the game on launch unable to play the game. The issue appears to be coming from EA's side rather than Valve/Steam since the DRM lock might not have been activated by EA when the game was released. Unfortunately while EA has fixed most of the activation problems, it is still possible to be locked out of the game until EA finishes their fixes but most PC users have been able to get into the game by now. http://kotaku.com/5742816/dead-space...d-in-the-water DLC for the game also announced and should be arriving on Xbox 360 and PS3 within the next few weeks. No news if PC/Steam owners will get the DLC but as of now, the answer is no. Quote:
Dead Space Extraction for PSN set at a $14.99 price and available today with the latest PSN update/release schedule. |
