On the last level of DmC. Really enjoying the reboot because I've never been a slasher snob and don't care or notice the 30fps engine. Storyline is solid.

Maybe Cool King is a Chubby Chaser.

Fuck sake Capcom.

Hard to get pumped for new battlefield after the awesomeness of planet side 2.

I'm not 100% for Battlefield 4 coming out so soon when they could make it for next-gen. Reeks of annualization.

A new game in the main series does tend to arrive once every 2 years so 2013 makes sense for Battlefield 4 and all the real work was already done once DICE finished up the Frostbite 2 engine.

If Battlefield gets the annual treatment now that Medal of Honor is done and nothing else replaces it, all EA would do is just have 2 studios in charge similar to what Activision does with CoD. They've already used other studios to work on the non-DICE Battlefield games before.

They were bad, though.

I was saddened by Warfighter :( So much promise

I think MinnesotaBurns must have met Fangerl at some point. How else could he do such a bang-on impression?

Exciting stuff!

Sony's really gonna have to step up their game this time around. I have not been impressed by the PS3 at all since release. A few good games, and free online play, but nothing else has been standout to me. A browser that makes me miss a normal computer in seconds. Bluray, I'm perfectly happy with DVD's especially now that HD's big.

And of course: HAX
HAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAXHAX

Wait...What?

Lol yeah what are you talking about. HD flopped months out of the gate.

Daily Gaming News:

3) Capcom announces they have cancelled both the Dino Crisis and Onimusha series with the goal to create new IPs and series to replace both.
http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-sn...p-243754.phtml

FUCK SAKE CAPCOM

Onimusha was great.

A new Need for Speed every year? Don't they remember why it almost died last time?

Wow, Capcom has really gone from being one of the premier publishers/developers in our lifetime to just a joke of a video game outfit. If I was a bigtime shareholder, I'd be calling for some heads.

And yeah, Onimusha was a great series. 1 & 2 were awesome. 3, not so much. Didn't like Dawn of Dreams.

I don't think he means HD DVD, but still.

Really abusing the word IP aside, I don't think they're doing this right.

Wiggers' mommies stopped giving them allowance?

*looks up stock chart* Yikes, you'd be calling for blood alright.

Daily Gaming News:
1) Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, and Halo 3 all are rumored to be arriving on Steam in the future according to a leaked database file for Steam. Of the games, only Halo 3 has an actual link at the moment

2) Based on the Easter egg from Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer, CD Projekt RED is expected to officially debut The Witcher 3 tomorrow.

3) SuperBot Entertainment's future might be in doubt after Sony has cut ties with the studio while the studio itself recently laid off a big portion of their staff. Sony also announced Sony's Santa Monica Studio will take over the series if future games are to be made.

Saint's Row 4 is coming out this year as THQ originally planned with Koch Media publishing it.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...e-the-next-thq

GIDDY.

EDIT: Wait, shit. Going head to head with GTAV can't be good.

If 4 is like 3, I kinda hope GTAV slaughters it.

I'm not sure I know how I feel about this. I don't know if PSASBR was any good, but if the rumour is true, then Sony's reason was something akin to "what? This half-baked idea of ours didn't do well? Release the hounds...."

And that's kinda bullshit.

Cyberpunk 2077 really needs to go looking into the music like Lazerhawk, Powerglove and the likes. Seriously.

Think its been mixed in terms of reception although more favorable with the reviews.

In terms of money, Sony said previously they were happy since it met their sales goal and made money. Although most of the funding was from SuperBot themselves and not Sony.

Come on Crytek, I love your games, but you need to do more than just FPS games :(

FPS games bring in the money. Until that changes, we'll have no shortage of FPS games. Probably all near identicle to the last.

Daily Gaming News:
1) The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt was officially revealed today with early details including it being the last game in the series, roughly 30x bigger than The Witcher 2, and a planned 2014 release date for PC and next gen consoles.

2) Square Enix blames the console market for their financial problems this fiscal year with a loss of 5.9 billion Yen ($63 million) generated so far but still expect to turn a profit due to their strong mobile division.

3) The maker of Minecraft, Notch, announces he has backed out from funding a potential Psychonauts 2 project after it was revealed the project needs at least $18 million for development which is more than he can afford for the project.

I really wish the first Witcher would hit consoles.

Remember that when the market crashes.

I'm mostly joking on that one, but still.

I think the bigger problem is AAA game design and marketing in general.

i think the biggest problem is Triple A

Ah.

While it may be a larger problem, shooter empahsis still exists as a sizable one, and now we're seeing "shooter fatigue."

An industry crash is imminent I think.
