Even though Activision might struggle with sales and profits in 2011, Blizzard has stated nothing is stopping them from their goal of releasing Diablo III for this year.
Earlier in the week, Activision's main chief operator in a meeting took the game off of the 2011 release schedule and denied the possibility of the game hitting the 2011 release window. Blizzard did say that the game itself won't be rushed to meet the 2011 date but if they have the chance to release the game, they won't hold it back like most companies do when Halo or CoD gets released. Also hinted was the game broadening to more types of gamers ranging from the "15 minute" gamers to the 3+ hours per session gamers. The game is still set for a PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 release with the console versions getting the customized port and the PC being the primary platform for development. http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...11/02/2011.jpg http://kotaku.com/#!5757690/blizzard...-iii-this-year ------------------------------------------------ Huge rumor involving Activision ready to make a bid to buy Take-Two and Rockstar. If it is real, Rockstar would replace the studios Activision lost from the True Crime, Guitar/DJ Hero, and Tony Hawk series. It would also give Activision the 2k series for sports. |
The thought of Activation getting Rockstar honestly scares me.

Okay, I just found out that Railworks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RailWorks ) has over $1000 in DLC.
What the fuck? |
EA tried to get R* and didn't work out for them, in fact it had all the splendor of a hot chick rejecting a nerd in front of his friends and family while a news crew taped it. Activision going for it should be interesting, but I doubt R* would get in bed with a publisher that just showed how quickly it would drop their ass if "GTA: 3rd Spinoff in a Year" doesn't make a billion dollars.

I have a feeling next E3 will the most fan-friendly E3 in years.
|
Why do you have that feeling
|
Did you sell your copy, G?
|
No, probably never going to now. Maybe not for a few years. I dunno. So confused

Let's face it, motion gaming only has lateral steps from here on out. Companies will have back-to-basics catalogs to show off, as well as showing off promises from the past (playable Zelda, more 3DS action, more PSP2 action). We may see the return of a few franchises, and some new stuff that's aren't high on concept but heavy on fan service (Bungie may unveil their next FPS - rumored to be an FPS MMO).
If Nintendo is doing something with their hardware this E3 is the time to reveal it. I think they will make strides for the hardcore gamer this year. Sony may show what they have learned the past 3 years with more back-to-basics stuff I mentioned; their catalog may look like PS2's heyday, except in HD/3D. We won't care, we'll love it. Microsoft will have to preempt Sony regaining their senses and provide answers for MAG and DC Universe Online. They no longer have Bungie to themselves so they can't buffer their show with a Halo, even if the Halo 1 remake will be shown. It's no longer their ace card, they will need a new one. Gears of War 3 will be playable. Battlefield 3 will be properly revealed and the beta may drop to surf the hype. EA needs this game to be epic after MoH didn't pick up BC2's slack. Call of Duty's next phase or whatever will be revealed. Do not have feelings that it will impress. No music games to trump this year. Activision's suite of Marvel games will have to do. Rockstar will have something to show that isn't LA Noir. These aren't prophecies so don't shoot me if they don't come to pass, but all of this is what I have in mind. |
for the most part, very few 'high concepts' and gimmicks this year.

I bought You Don't Know Jack Thursday and it kicks ass! If only I had xbox gold i'd be playing it online.

You Don't Know Jack is pissing me off. Every version bar the DS is region locked. It's even on Steam, but not in the UK. Probably won't ever come out here either, they did the UK specific one (complete with shitter presenter but better credits adverts) and then we had no other versions.
The Steam version is fucking bits and bytes, take my money you cunts. |
The Steam version is fucked up anyway. It only supports 2 players, no DLC support, and is local multiplayer only. The old part of me that has all the old YDKJs hates that the PC got boned, but I understand why they've focused on the console market.
It is only 20 bucks, though. |
Looks like Activision found a way to replace the expensive Guitar Hero sets for a year since the new Spyro is going to cost over $250 to get the complete experience ($40-$60 for the game, $10 each for every figurine to buy and scan for the game).
30 little figurines alone for the game once Activision completes the set for the game. |
I highly doubt Spyro and his toyline will snag the Guitar Hero demographic.

Finished Assassin's Creed 2. Hated it. Not as much as I hated 1 but still hated it. The controls are so terrible and the AI is stupid and combat dumb and everything is dumb. It probably smells bad too.
The only reason I kept interest was because I enjoyed the setting much more than in the last game. The story is kind of fun too. Dunno what happened to Da Vinci. I guess maybe we find out in the next game. Which I'll Goozex next year sometime probably. I liked the end too where the fate of the Earth rests in your hands and so the bad guy breaks in through the wall and sends a security team with fold out batons to stop you. |
Also accidentally saw the ending to Brotherhood while trying to wiki Glyph locations. Great.
|
I like the scope of the story. It keeps getting bigger than you think it is. Like, I havn't beaten 2 yet, but I got all the glyph locations, and I love the movie you get.
Always loved religious themed stories, especially alternative takes on it like this one. |

The boss at Blizzard has an interesting interview yesterday where he said the main reason Starcraft Ghost was canceled was due to the sudden boom in popularity of World of Warcraft.
Original plan was the create a spin-off game from the Starcraft series that involved stealth and a 3rd person perspective for consoles (PS2, Gamecube, Xbox). At the same time, Blizzard was working on World of Warcraft but still had enough people to work on both projects at once. Then Blizzard started to work on Starcraft II which stretched their resources and couldn't get the time needed to fix the issues with SC Ghost development. When World of Warcraft became a huge success, even more strain was placed on the company so the decision was to kill off SC Ghost while keeping Starcraft II development on schedule. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/pics/mo...7_expanded.jpg http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...stant-success/ ------------------------------------------------ GameFreak has no intentions of ever making a console version of their Pokemon RPG series since they feel the series belongs on a handheld and RPGs have been more popular this generation on handhelds than on consoles (at least in Japan). Nintendo usually leaves GameFreak alone when they make Pokemon games so its very unlikely Nintendo will want to push a console project any time soon. |
New screens for the upcoming Batman Arkham City game show off some characters in the game such as the Joker in this batch.
Also teased is an image with a Black Mask statue which could hint at him being a villain in this game or just a big tease similar to the Riddler in the first game. http://betacache.gawkerassets.com/as..._062_joker.jpg http://kotaku.com/#!5762053/arkham-c...ppy-to-see-you ------------------------------------------------------------- Sega reveals 6 free Sega Genesis games for Playstation Plus members set to arrive in March. The games are free as long as the membership for PS+ is kept or else they become locked. The games are Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe 2, Comix Zone, and Altered Beast Non-PS+ members can buy the games for $4.99 when they go on sale next month. |
Series creator Lorne Lanning and the team at Just Add Water have announced that an HD remake of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is in production. An interview in the March issue of EGM (via Facebook) outlines the plans for the game, nicknamed "Abe HD."
"It's basically Abe's Oddysee being redone in a 3D physics engine as a 2D side-scrolling platformer," said Lanning. "So the way Just Add Water wants to approach it, we thought was very smart; they are not trying to reinvent any wheels. It's like, 'Can we make that experience in a new engine, with new tech, in the old way?'" This is slightly different from the previously announced development of Stranger's Wrath for PlayStation Network. Abe HD seems to be a full remake from the ground up, while Lanning says Stranger is "the same game, but being redone." A version of Stranger's Wrath for XBLA is also ready for release, but Lanning says the game keeps being rejected. It's possible this is due to the size limitations we heard about last year. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/67336 Awesome. |

Yes, let's stop developing a somewhat original idea in favour of another sandy, muddy generic army shooter.
It's not like EA doesn't have billions of dollars. They could easily afford to finish Mirrors Edge 2, even if it just became a download only title. I really wish this army shooter bubble would just burst already. How many times can you pay $60/£40 for a "new" game about being a US soldier running through the middle east, shooting people before you realise "Hang on...I've played a game just like this before. 16 times in the last 5 years!" ? If it's not a US army man running through the middle east, it's a US space marine running through another world that looks like ours but painted a greeny-blue. If the developers are feeling really wild they'll throw a jungle style area in the game. I couldn't even look at Red Faction Guerilla after finishing the story because the sight of the bland browny red world had gotten so face-cuttingly dull. The gameplay and story was good but an eviroment like that just put me off eventually. No idea how anyone can play brown/grey shooters over and over and over again and not get sick of the sight of them. |
It's not about them not having money to make it, it's about them being doubtful it will turn a profit.
|
In EA's defense I read GameInformer's cover story for Battlefield 3 and if there's one military shooter you should try out for the long haul make it that one. Also Dice, the guys making it, aren't pretentious assholes and they're actually trying to make a fun game out of the military shooter sub-genre.
Shit, Khuntry likes Battlefield, and does he strike you as military FPS guy with a stack of CoD's and Killzones? Battlefield is the shit. My realistic shooter of choice. |
It already has a decent fan base size so that's a few sales right there. I think if they made it a downloadable game, like Kalyx said, and fixed the problems other people had with the game and maybe advertise it a little bit better it could get a good decent profit.
Not all games can explode onto the scene and become classics. I think Mirrors Edge is a slow bloomer. If they stuck with it and just tried to spend as little as possible, which I know would be hard with me suggesting advertising it more, it could do a little better. |
That doesn't change the fact that EA canned one of the more interesting games in recent times, I'm saying some good things are coming out of the military shooter thing.
But they should totally make a download only Mirror's Edge. It'll the edge off, and with the right vision it could make easier profit. |

Two Worlds getting a sequel, but not Mirror's Edge, makes me pretty fucking furious, tbh.

EA already said from last year their main goals are to make games that will have multiplayer even if it doesn't need it (ex. Dead Space 2), their main priority is shooters (ex. CoD killer) and sports, and more involvement in the PS3 (#1 in sales for them last year).
Mirror's Edge 1 was pretty successful as a phone game so it might also make sense they couldn't get a good phone version of the game ready with ME 2. EA is also similar to Activision and a few others who want instant mega sales instead of slower burners like Capcom and Nintendo. |
It is also now hard to read on an iPod.

Video games aren't art, they are toys.
|
I know you aren't known for being subtle in your troll attempts BDC, but that's obvious even for you.
|
I am not trolling, video games are not art. Occasionally one has a glimmer of artistic merit, but the media as a whole is not art.
|
In that case I am not touching this argument with a ten foot pole.
|
I have discussed this topic at length on other sites and tried to bring it up here to minimal success in it's own threads. Video games are not art. They can be artistic, but most art isn't fapped to by people who proclaim it as such. I mean literally jerked off too. And i mean Kylax makes threads about which big tittied bitch video game chick is the hottest then turns around and calls it art. Either it is art or it is fap material and toys.
|
I am going to save us both a lot of time and say "agree to disagree", because this debate can go nowhere, since we clearly have differing opinions on what art is.
|
Art is something that is respected by the makers and consumers. Video games as a whole are not well respected by the makers as it is clear the AAA game industry rather make generic knock offs than original games. And they are not respected by the consumers who for the most part jerk off to the big tits and curse loudly as the kill people they never met over xbl.
|
And yes by my criteria I don't consider every movie to be art, nor every song, nor every drawling. I just want to know what you define art as.

That was one of the things I loved about Mirror's Edge. It was challenging, it was different and I don't know about anyone else but the sense of achievement I got from completing a chapter was amazing. Especially chapter 6. The story was really good too. Something which I think is missing from the majority of games these days. A good story. I was really looking forward to Mirror's Edge. It gave me something to look forward too as TimeSplitters 4 got canned. But seeing as Crytek are "in talks" with publishers now, I guess it's not all bad, but I do have a feeling that TimeSplitters 4 won't happen though. It just annoys me that all the enjoyable, original games don't see the light of day but games that are just mere clones of their predecessors are out yearly. Not counting games like FIFA, Madden or WWE. They fall into a different category of sorts. I guess all we have left to enjoy along with Mirror's Edge, is Mirror's Edge 2D. :( http://www.ea.com/free/mirrors-edge-2d For some reason, the actual Mirror's Edge 2D website isn't working. http://www.mirrorsedge2d.com Bad times. |

EA announces Medal of Honor reboot series will get another game this year and it will arrive around the same time frame as the yearly Call of Duty game.
Unlike last year, EA won't be pushing out a Battlefield game for 2011 and the plan is to alternate between a Medal of Honor and Battlefield game every year. Dager Close was picked to work on the new Medal of Honor game but no news if Dice will be doing the multiplayer like in the previous game. It wasn't announced but its assumed the setting will either be Afghanistan or Iraq for the new game. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/as...alofhonor2.jpg http://kotaku.com/#!5764470/youve-be...f-honor-sequel ------------------------------------------------------------- Final Madden 11 roster patch arrives today and unlike a normal Madden roster update process, no new patches will be possible once the NFL goes on strike.
