Sony releases a few images showing off the newly redesigned PlayStation Store which will arrive later this month.
The redesign uses a carousel-type scrolling system which moves from left to right with the goal making information a lot more accessible on the front page of the store. A new feature called the "Hero" theme will showcase a different video game character on each page to help advertise games from each character's specific series. The search bar has also been redesigned which will auto-correct spelling mistakes and include multiple filters to make searching easier than with the current Store setup. The store will also do a better job at separating PSP and Vita games from PS3 games as a way to help speed up on finding games for a particular system. Release dates for the redesigned will occur on October 17 for Europe and October 23 for North America. http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloudfront.net...redesign-3.jpg http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...tore-revealed/ http://www.destructoid.com/sony-unve...3-236487.phtml _______________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) 2k Games teases the newest trailer for Bioschock Infinite will arrive next week and also signal the end of their self-imposed media blackout for the game. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...for-next-week/ http://www.screwattack.com/news/new-...rive-next-week 2) Update to Drakul's post about the Rockstar Collection as Rockstar has confirmed the set is real, arrives on October 6th, and is priced at $60.

While Sony is currently involved in a lawsuit as a plaintiff in regards to the Kevin Butler situation, they might become a defendant in another as their recently bought Gaikai company has been hit with a patent infringement lawsuit.
According to a lawsuit brought to the courts in Delaware, T5 Labs is suing Gaikai over claims the company has “committed and continues to commit acts of infringement" involving a patent owned by T5 Labs. The patent in question deals with cloud services which T5 Labs says they own and Gaikai used without permission. As part of their claims, T5 Labs is requesting monetary compensation to cover all past damages and future activity from Gaikai and to a smaller degree from Sony themselves. The same company previously sued OnLive over a similar patent in 2011 but did not reach the courts due to OnLive's recent financial problems. http://www.screwattack.com/sites/def...er_2965091.jpg http://www.screwattack.com/news/gaik...gement-t5-labs http://www.vg247.com/2012/10/11/t5-l...gainst-gaikai/ _____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) From now until October 16, GOG.com is having a special Ubisoft sale with 35 games all being given a 60% discount involving a mixture of classics and current games included. http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-g...d-236573.phtml 2) According to early sales data, Take Two states NBA 2k13 has set a new sales record for the series opening week by selling 49% more copies than last year's game which previously held the record. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ecutive-month/ |
The developer of Metro: Last Light, 4A Games, announces they have scrapped the game's multiplayer portion in order to concentrate more on developing and improving the quality of the single player campaign.
The decision was due to the studio unwilling to sacrifice the quality of the single player campaign nor delay the game in order to rush or shoe-in online multiplayer at the last moment possible. The reaction and feedback from the E3 demo played a big role in their decision according to a recent community posting by the studio. Quote:

Good to see a developer focus more on single player instead of sacrificing single player quality for the extra sales multiplayer (may) bring.

Rumors of Prey 2 being cancelled were finally confirmed to be false today by developer Human Head although the potential for a sequel still is pretty bleak overall.
While the project isn't cancelled, it isn't being worked on either due to its current limbo status in development. Nathan Cheever, designer for the game, made the announcement on Twitter last week which was only noticed recently. Quote:

Bioware releases a chart of all the restrictions free players will encounter once Star Wars the Old Republic MMO game become free to play next month.
To ensure people with subscriptions still get the highest priority, free players will be capped at level 50 and have to purchase weekly passes in order to bypass caps on Flashpoints, Warzones, and Space Missions. Free players also are being restricted on inventory space, cargo space, and longer quick-travel cool down timers. The game will also be having a new revenue system called the Cartel Coin system which is used to buy in-game items and other stuff with subscribers having more stuff available to them for free. Free players have to convert real money into the Coin system in order to buy most things. http://www.screwattack.com/sites/def...er_3044496.jpg http://www.screwattack.com/news/free...e-restrictions http://www.destructoid.com/bioware-l...s-236934.phtml Chart => http://www.swtor.com/free/features ______________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: * Sony releases a video walkthrough of the newly designed PSN Store while also admitting they need to patch up the store to fix several new problems. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ore-interface/ http://www.destructoid.com/new-plays...s-236942.phtml * According to Gamesrader's review of 007 Legends, the game doesn't have an actual ending and instead requires the Skyfall DLC pack to be bought/played when it arrives next month. http://www.gamesradar.com/007-legends-review/ * Indie developers once again angry at Mircosoft with this time involving the pre-paid code service being broken to the point developers can't even send copies the media for reviews and previews. http://www.screwattack.com/news/xbli...t-isnt-helping * Newscorp announces they are selling IGN with the current asking price of $100 million.

I'm losing my patience with Old Republic. Just release HK-51 already so I can get back into this.
Hmmmmmmm? I wonder what Rupert Murdoch is up to now? Strapped for cash? |
They've finally created a game where you have to pay extra to get to the end?

Valve announces they are taking a more aggressive role against rage quitters and quitters in general in regards to the paid Mann vs Machine mode for Team Fortress 2.
The decision was due to constant complaints from players who have been affected from quitters and people trying to exploit leaderboards in general. The announcement itself was done in a tongue-and-check manner from the "President and CEO of Mann Co." Quote:

Sony announces what might be the start of several waves of job cuts have occurred recently with 2000 laid off and the majority from their Playstation division.
While Sony is calling the layoffs as part of an "early retirement" plan, the real reason is due to the desperate need to stop the massive hemorrhaging of their cash reserves. The previous quarter alone saw net loses of roughly $310 million and roughly 2x more than the same period last year. The overall job cuts are expected to be in the 10,000 range with their Playstation and electronic divisions to be affected the most. The goal for Sony is to try to save $378 million as part of next year's fiscal report and to lessen the impact of their restructuring program which will cost them $975 million. Quote:

Epic Games announces a deal between them and Square Enix was recently signed which will allow Square Enix long-term access to both the Unreal 3 and Unreal 4 engine.
The deal is a multi-title deal which covers both engines and will allow all the studios of Square Enix to fall under the single license given by Epic Games. Also revealed under the terms, Epic Games Japan branch will provide exclusive local support for developing games through the use of their Epic Games Japan branch.

Normally this time of the year Xbox Live's Top 10 online games usually is topped by either a Call of Duty game or a FIFA game but the recent weekly list (October 15) reveals neither series is at #1.
It turns out the XBLA version of Minecraft managed to top both games in users and also became the first time it managed to top the list since its release on Xbox Live Arcade. Other games in the Top 5 include Halo Reach which saw a surge in users due to the upcoming release of Halo 4 and Borderlands 2 staying in the Top 5 since its release. Quote:

LOL at Halo 3 in the top 20.

Was thinking that since Minecraft was out on PC so long and works on almost any old spec that the XBLA version wouldn't be so successful. How wrong was I.

Anyone try the SmartGlass thing? It's available on Android. Pretty cool...not sure i'd use it often, but it's a neat little option.
|
It's on Windows 8 too. But no, not even slightly. No games for it.
