Harmonix reveals they are currently hiring and working on a new project meant to be released with the next generation of consoles.

Based on the slim details given, the game will be motion-based for controls but won't be a music or a game they've done similar in the past. The game may or may not be a rail-style game depending on which platform the game arrives and how involved Kinect/Move/Tablet controls are used.

The game also appears to be planned as the start of a brand new series more than just a standalone game.

3) In an interview with Edge, Miyamoto explained the Vita's current sales struggles is due to Sony struggling to have games that really define the system while people are less willing to wait for the big titles than with the 3DS. Currently the Vita has sold 2 million units worldwide but is also suffering huge declines in sales since its launch in all regions.

I thought there was already a mod for Skyrim to make it an online game. Is that something different?

Awesome, whats the news about it?

Well, it was posted in DeviantArt, so the five of them will be having sex.

Possibly with furries involved.

...Kinda funny the Bison/Wario similarities. Not like they're twins or anything, but still.

Awesome, saw these the other day which I thought were amazing.

Throw a moustache on Bison and you've got Waluigi.

If Super Mario Bros: Gulf of Mexico was real I would be a very happy man. Straight up epicness right thurrrrr.

It'd be even better if the Marios were cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico. Real or not, they can't do much worse than the current clowns.

Looks like Blizzard's art style.

Driving around with mass quantities of illegal narcotics isn't exactly the smartest idea in the world, but if that's something you plan on doing you could learn a thing or two about what not to do from this tale about a man, the police and an Xbox.
Upon being pulled over by the West Texas fuzz Carlos Valenzuela, 42, appeared visibly nervous and repeatedly looked at a bag in his Mercedes' passenger seat. After discovering a bundle of the devil's dandruff in the vehicle, the El Paso County Sheriffs' Office brought in a K-9 unit that promptly uncovered an additional two bricks of cocaine hidden inside an Xbox 360.
In total close to four pounds of nose candy was recovered from inside the vehicle. Valenzuela was arrested, charged with manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance and placed on a $25,000 bond. In the end, the real tragedy in all of this was that yet another innocent game console has lost its life in the War on Drugs.

You'd be surprised how many idiots fucked themselves over by simply looking suspect when in the presence of a cop.

99% of them, I'd wager.

lolwot

lol nerds and their nerd challenges.

A new Family Guy has been leaked. It'll be based around the episode where BRian & Stewie jump to different dimensions.

Ubisoft announces Beyond Good & Evil 2 will be getting a release but not on current consoles.

The creator of the Rayman series, Michel Ancel, confirms he's in charge of the project and is currently in development again.

The game will be taking some inspiration from Mirror's Edge in regards to camera and movement system but current consoles do not have enough power nor tech to make it work the way Ubisoft wants. The goal is to make it feel very life-like and as if the action was occurring live.

Ubisoft also teased there won't be any news about the game for this year's E3 due to the company being focused on Rayman Legends and Assassin's Creed 3 as their current top priority.

Sweet, MS gave me my points back and my new slim I got off ebay is working correctly. Everything is coming up Milhouse.

Other than the pretty good voice cast, I hope it's a release date for Hitman.

Capcom Sales Figures
 

SF X T: 1.4 million (target was 2 million. Ouchie)
RE: Racoon City: 1.7 million (I'm no SF X T fan, but fuck off did this corpse outsell it)
Monster Hunter 3G: 1.6 million (Only out in Japan too. They can't get enough of this shit)
UMVC3: No real figures announced, but it didn't break a million (You think it might have been too soon for your stupid upgrade edition Capcom? Shocking)

http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-pr...d-227099.phtml

ORC did way better than it deserved. SFxT did well, it'll reach target by Fall, I think. Monster Hunter kills it again, like that's the whole population of Japan buying it. Only people who really dug MvC3 would double dip, I didn't imagine it would sell anywhere near vanilla's numbers.

I got a 120gb hard drive for a 360 for pretty cheap. Then I got it home and realised it was for the slim 360 and I have the fat 360. I took it back to the shop and the guy says I can still use the hard drive on the old fat model. I'm thinking he's talking crap just to keep the sale.
So, before I break my 360 trying to jam the hard drive into place, does the slims hard drive work with the original fat model?

You need a case, but yeah, they work fine.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdd-har...k-30826?item=1

So, I can buy this, put the slim hard drive into it and put it in my 360?

Yup, that'll do it.

You'll need to take it out of the case it's in now as well.

Sounds like it could be tricky.

If GAME trade in hard drives, I might just see if I can get a little profit from a trade in.

Edit: Seems GAME might give me very little for it. So trading it in is a waste.
I could take it back for a refund from the shop I bought it from but I'm not in the mood to get messed about right now.

Ok, I tried to put it into my 360 and it fits in perfectly. I guess it wasn't a slim after all.

I skipped sign in and had a look at what was on the drive. So far it's a ton of demos and a few games. A lot of which involve shooting people in the face.

Worryingly, the only theme on the drive is titled osama_bin_laden_.jpg :|

So does the hard drive look like that enclosure you linked to on Amazon?

It works, my bro did the same.

Though it came with the cable at the time.

It looks exactly like the 60gb I originally had in my 360 but black. I stupidly thought the fan above the "eject" button was part of the 60gb drive:$.

No way am I paying £15 for a transfer kit I'm going to use once. I'm just going to try and fill up a pen drive with stuff from the 60gb and move it to the 120gb.

EA released their financial report today revealing Star Wars TOR is losing subscribers again, new Need for Speed confirmed, and the plans to invest around $80 million for initial next gen games.

In terms of the stock market, EA's stock dropped by 10% after the fiscal report was announced with the details involving Star Wars Old Republic being the main reason.

The MMO game of Star Wars The Old Republic, another 400,000 subscribers have dropped out since February leaving around 1.3 million users left. None of the special promotions and free month deals have been effective in keeping subscribers.

A new Dead Space and Need for Speed game have been confirmed to be in development with a Spring 2013 release expected. No details were revealed about the new Dead Space but its assumed Criterion is developing the new Need for Speed game.

The company itself is undergoing a "restructuring" phase with massive layoffs expected to the amount of around $40 million needing to be saved.
