For those who have had some issues with PSN or Sony's websites the last day or two, Anonymous revealed they are attacking Sony's web services as a counter to Sony's recent fight against piracy.
Specifically, Anonymous biggest complaint and reason for the attacks against Sony comes from the recent victory in court allowing Sony to get information and IPs of anyone who either has donated to Geohot or visited his website regardless of reason. Weeks earlier, Sony had threatened to sue Paypal and a few others if they continued to provide customer service to him. The group also warned Sony that this was only the first attack and it could get worse if Sony continues going after everyone else not related to the Geohot group. Officially, Sony claims the downtime was due to "maintenance" and never referenced the web attacks. PSN and other Sony websites have either been restored back to normal or keep experiencing sporadic service. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...-threat-video/ |

Bioware and EA holding a special promotion where if you buy Dragon Age II for the PC before April 30, Mass Effect 2 for the PC will be free as a gift.
Buying DA II for consoles does count towards getting Mass Effect 2 for free but only the PC version of the game is being given away. Also required for the deal is tying the Dragon Age II into your Bioware account and activating the Online Pass that comes with the game. Used copies of Dragon Age II are not eligible for the deal. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...r-pc-free.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EA had been planning to release Dead Space 2 for the Wii as a way to listen to complaints of those who were upset the 1st Dead Space game was a rail shooter and to make up for a disappointing Wii release schedule by EA. EA ended up canceling the Wii version and a few other Wii games due to the studio porting the games was doing a lot of sloppy work on the games. EA realized they couldn't afford another PR hit similar to the NBA Jam debacle and lose more of the Wii market to Activision. |

Capcom's Captivate as begun in Miami. Though the embargo lasts for about a week, be on the look out for leaks. We learned about MvC3 well before the embargo lifted.
In WWE terms, this kicks off a quasi 'Road to E3'. Teaser trailers, announcements, and cryptic quotes in the months ahead. |

My two favorite SM voices. Even though the game looks like Shattered Dimensions 2, I hope they change some things that made SD annoying in some ways. It is a good, decent game but it gets too formulated. It was basically swing, save the people, punch and climb... I hated always having to save people so often in the game.

I don't understand why Spidey games can't go back to the open world setting. Spider-Man 2 was easily the best Spider-Man game and it was probably because of that. They tried to do it with Web of Shadows but they fucking blew it. My dream Spidey game would be like Spidey 2 with tons of side missions around the city, a nice amount of villains and Marvel Comics cameos please.

Sony manages to forget all their hardship on making the PSP and PS3 a bit too expensive by stating in a press report that Sony isn't concerned about pricing their platforms (and games on a whole).
The boss of Sony tried to say that its better for a product to be seen as enjoyable for years and more valuable in features than in its initial or current price. This announcement comes after Sony's recent success of the PS3 sales at lower prices and after admitting the $600 PS3 price was a mistake. Quote:
Sony is also planning on putting some priority on 3D and Move-enabled games for their future success with the PS3. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...tform-pricing/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Some upcoming games news: Namco announces Galaga Legions DX is in development from the same team who made Pac-Man CE and will have similar gameplay style and appearance. Nintendo of America might be bringing The Last Story rpg to the US/Canada after filing for a website domain for the game. Currently just Europe is confirmed to get the game later this year. EA reveals NBA Jam: On Fire Edition will arrive this fall and this time as a downloadable game for XBLA and PSN with a retail disc version possible. EA managed to ignore making a Wii version even though NBA Jam on the Wii was responsible for over 50% of the sales. |

I am sure some of you guys remember X-Men Legends when you got to do those Flashback missions like Juggernaut raiding the X-Mansion, etc. That would be incredible as unlockable quests for a Spidey game. Relive famous moments..the death of Gwenn Stacy for example. I would love a tutorial at the start of the game in which Parker remembers when he got his powers. Perfect for learning the moves. I don't know..I feel like the Spidey game potential has not been tapped to it's max potential yet.

They were getting there with Spidey 2 (Movie Game) but they just... abandoned it with Ultimate Spidey (high concept with adjusted system) and then Spidey 3 (poor design decisions influenced by industry). Friend or Foe was actually cute and okay, obviously away from a 'main game' thing. Web of Shadows was another high concept that missed the mark (but had an interesting action game design at least). Some of you may remember my disdain for Shattered Dimensions last year. My views on EoT isn't much better so far.
The ultimate Spidey game is yet to come. |

EA has listened to complaints about SSX Deadly Descent by now renaming the game to just SSX and announcing more game modes to go along with the Deadly Descent mode.
The gritty look and gameplay from previous trailers and images are still in the game but when playing Tricky or Speed Descent, the graphics and gameplay resemble more of the cartoony stuff SSX is known for. Tricky Descent mode focuses on the classic trick style for races while Speed Descent focuses on the actual competition and speed for races. http://kotaku.com/#!5789663/all-hope...or-the-new-ssx -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anonymous war against Sony continues as the group issues 3 new demands with the biggest demand being for Sony to stop going after IP address and information of people not related to the Geohot lawsuit. PSN and other Sony websites are still experiencing unstable performance with Sony admitting the hacking was the real reason and they were not doing any real "maintenance." More bad news for Sony as their DMCA lawsuit against Geohot and others appears to be loosing due to Sony wanting to enable a provision meant only for wireless cellphones to be allowed for the PS3. Their lawsuit also appears to be switching focus from getting information to help their case to now getting as many names possible for future lawsuits unrelated to the current case. |

Played the 3DS the other day. Not impressed by the 3D at all. Didn't like it, felt like nothing more than a gimmick and added absolutely nothing to the games. If I ever get one (wayyyy down the line), I'll be playing with 3D off.

Sony's Jack Tretton trashes the Gameboy/DS and people who play them by saying it is an embarrassment to be over 20+ years old to play those systems and Nintendo only makes "baby sitting tools".
This was also part of another trash talk saying Nintendo doesn't innovate or do anything special after he made fun of their motion controls and the lack of stuff the Wii doesn't have. Quote:
He also trashed the Xbox 360 by saying its running out of steam and that Sony will easily close the gap and pass it in 2011. He sort of forgot the impact Kinect sales had in both units and games sold (2-3x more than PS Move and games). http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...sitting-tools/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mega Man Legends 3 development team has officially restarted their development of the game after Capcom stopped work due to the earthquakes and Mega Man's creator leaving the company. Nintendo is preparing to buy up more studios but want a few to be of quality like Retro Studios. This could end up bringing Silicon Knights and Eternal Darkness 2 back to Nintendo if that studio gets picked. Splinter Cell HD trilogy set for the PS3 will not be based on the inferior PS2 versions of the game but the PC versions. The worst news is the online multiplayer will not be enabled for the old games. |

"Hahaha, DS is shit.

"Hahaha, 360 is shit. Microsoft sux" 360 sales: Units sold Worldwide: 50 million (as of January 6, 2011 (2011 -01-06) PS3 sales: Units sold 47.9 million (as of December 31, 2010 (2010 -12-31) Gap isn't as big here, but talking shit from dead last is pretty sad. 13 year old boy sad. Wait, that's right... they're aiming at the teen market while shitting on the 20+ y.o. with disposable income market. Brilliant. Also, for the hell of it...

Electronic Arts tinkering with the idea of progressive career modes that carry over from game to game instead of always having to start from scratch with each new game.
Most likely FIFA or Madden will be the 1st game to include this feature but it isn't expected to occur with this year's set of games (2012 set). It is also rumored should EA bring back the MVP baseball series, this would be the first game to use it to counter The Show's features on the PS3. EA is calling this plan a Persistent Player Profile and would affect any career or My Player mode found in their sports games. Quote:
EA did try something similar in the past with the EA Sports Bio that tied games from the same sports series or all EA Sports games into a single account. Back then it was used to unlock stuff in other EA Sports games and not continue a career mode. http://kotaku.com/#!5790020/ea-sport...atch-each-year -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big rumor right now involves Microsoft planning a Free-to-Play Games service for Xbox Live to arrive next year as a way to capitalize games on the PC and iPhone/iPad that are free to play but require payments for extra weapons, maps, and stuff. If done correctly, it opens the Xbox 360 for potential ports of F2P games already on the PC and to MMOs. |

Bioware's plans for a future Mass Effect game after ME 3 is released might involve making the next game in the series as an MMO.
The idea behind an MMO comes from Bioware wanting to add some type of multiplayer experience without rushing it for the sake of having one (ex. Dead Space 2) but as a way to expand the story and galaxy into something bigger. Quote:
http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...o-makes-sense/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creator and lead engineer in the development of game cartridges as a way to hold games instead of pre-built into a console died on Sunday, April 10. Jerry Lawson worked on the development team behind the Fairchild Channel F console in 1976 which ended up being the first console to use swappable game cartridges. Before this system, most consoles either had pre-built games or used floppy cards to help boot the program (game wasn't on the floppy itself). Atari would end up using this idea behind the Atari 2600 which ended up becoming the first very successful game console with the mainstream consumers.

What's the story? In this version of Dead Rising 2, Frank West went from high profile hero and celebrity to washed up has-been after the events of Dead Rising. Broke after launching a failed line of hair restoration products, Frank has come to Fortune City to appear on Terror is Reality and to revive his career - and get paid. After all, Frank is infected, which means every 24 hours, he'll need a dose of Zombrex to avoid a fate involving shuffling around, looking for people to eat. It's not DLC? Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a full featured, full length retail release. Unlike the prequel Dead Rising 2: Case Zero or sequel Dead Rising 2: Case West, Off the Record will not be available as DLC. What's returning? The framework of events for Off the Record seems largely the same - a bizarre conspiracy is unfolding in Fortune City, setting free its zombie horde and trapping a group of citizen survivors in the city until help can arrive in 72 hours. Of course, not everything is the same. There are new areas of the Fortune City complex to explore, including new Psychos and new events, while most if not all of the old Psychos remain in the game. Also returning: combo weapons. There will also be new combo weapons available to Frank, though Capcom is mum on what those will be. What's new? While it's not new, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record does feature the return of the camera mechanic from Dead Rising, with improvements. For example, this time Frank is sporting a digital camera - no more searching for film. Frank will want to capture key plot moments to help expose the Fortune City conspiracy. Where's Chuck? Chuck is still in Fortune Ciy, though we don't know his whereabouts. However, Capcom has confirmed that partners in co-op will play Chuck to the main player's Frank. |

In somewhat of a surprising announcement, Nintendo announced the remake of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the 3DS was not developed by one of Nintendo's internal studios but outsourced to a new studio that has some former ties with Square-Enix.
Nintendo hand-picked Grezzo Games to develop the game which has some experience working with Nintendo in the past with their recent game coming last year on WiiWare. This studio was formed in 2006 after Koichi Ishii, creator of the Mana rpg series and worked on 5 of the earlier Final Fantasy games, left Square-Enix The studio hasn't been alone in working on the project with input and advice coming from Nintendo to help with the enhanced port of the N64 game. The 3DS version is set to arrive in stores on June 19 for the US/Canada and June 17 for the UK/Europe. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...a-of-time-3ds/ |

Yeah the bigger shocker was everyone assuming it was Nintendo working on the port after all the news was of how Nintendo was fixing and improving the game. If it was Capcom making the game, then it would have been revealed in the press much sooner like Nintendo usually does.

Some Capcom news ranging from good to a bit weird.
Capcom wants to get more user feedback for Mega Man Legends 3 designs with the current vote involving the design for Mega Man Volnnut. Don't expect anything else from Marvel vs Capcom 3 once the current set of DLC characetrs and modes are released as the team behind the game announced they are done working on the project and are ready to move on to the next project. In a question about how thick Chun-Li's thighs should be, Yoshinori Ono said when designing Chun-Li for a game, his response was "The simple answer to that is: I am looking for the perfect thigh to rest my head on. So whatever size would work as a nice pillow… " http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...ga-Man-Volnnut ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nintendo rumored to drop the price of the Wii from $199 to $150 next month with the possibility of Mario Kart Wii being bundled by itself or joining Wii Sports/Sports Resort as the "free" games. |
