Sucks for them. I won't even touch EA's shitty download service. Honestly, I pretty much only buy through Steam.
What about games that have been purchased already, though? Can you not redownload them? |
If you bought the game and/or DLC before it was taken down then like any other digital distribution service, it is still re-downloadable.
The stuff itself is still on Steam's servers but they can't activate the links for new buyers similar to when a company closes down and Steam no longer is allowed to sell the game for legal reasons. Any future patches or DLC for the games wouldn't be downloadable using Steam though. |
Forgot how sweet installing games were. Quite Xbox, quick loading times. Did MvC3 just now, will do Reach and Battlefield tonight.
|
I always install my games before I even play them once. Right now, I have MvC3, Duke Nukem and, I think, Portal 2 on there.

A Spanish retailer website reveals Devil May Cry series from the PS2 is preparing to be joining the recent wave of PS2/PSP games remade as HD Remakes or Collection sets.
The HD set is being done as the 10th year anniversary of the series and will include the first 3 games in the series with only updated graphics being confirmed. No bonuses or gameplay changes are expected to be done similar to all the other HD remakes and collections with the exception of the Metal Gear Solid set. Based on the source, the set should arrive this November and as of now only for the PS3 but neither the source no Capcom confirmed if it indeed is an exclusive or if the Xbox 360 will get the set at a later date. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/as...06/dmcpack.jpg http://kotaku.com/5812491/devil-may-...hd-re+releases ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Bioware becomes the newest gaming company to get hacked as an attack on their serves resulted in around 18,000 accounts info being stolen. The attack occurred on Bioware's community server for their Neverwinter Nights forum. 2) After firing their external Public Relations firm and denying they are not blacklisting reviewers who give bad scores to Duke Nukem Forever, Eurogamer has confirmed 2K Studios indeed is blacklisting companies with themselves being on the list. 3) Microsoft officially releases the Kinect SDK or dev kits for sale to capitalize on the "hacking" stuff being done by people using the non-gaming features of Kinect. The only catch is as of now the kits are not for commercial usage but Microsoft is planning on removing the restriction in the near future. |

HD DMC3? Cool.
|
Def gonna grab that DMC collection when it hits 360.
Sony's gonna have to do some major damage control. Weeks after the hacking and bad news is still coming out. :nono: |
I don't think 360 will get lucky on this one. DMC1-3 were PS exclusives, it wouldn't be much to HD-up those PS button icons. Making 360 button icons for the re-releases seems unlikely, especially since Capcom's been penny pinching lately. It's a good thought, though.
|
A few of the planned or already released HD remakes/sets have been placed on brands the originals were not done on.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath got only a PS3 release even though it was on the Xbox original before and the Metal Gear Solid set including the Xbox 360 when the originals were PS2 exclusive. The biggest difference though is those games are expected to have some changes while most of the HD remakes are just quickly made upscale games like the God of War PSP set for PS3 or the Tomb Raider set. |
Speaking of HD collections. The reason MGS1 isn't on the MGS HD collection is because it'll take too much work to bring it to up to the standard of the other games graphically and they'd have to change details to make sense with the rest of the series. So, it's too much work, apparantly.
|
People purchase PS1 games on PSN all the time and even 80's arcade games on 360. Konami are just being stubborn, I'm sure barely anyone would complain if the game was there in it's original (or Twin Snakes) form along with the 3 other games.
|
I was thinking they could use Twin Snakes since it still looks good. Then again there's Nintendo references in there, could be a problem.
|
I always meant to buy Twin Snakes and I never did. Would have been good to get it on the collections.
Surely removing an object from a games code, to remove the Nntendo stuff, wouldn't be that big a problem time and money wise, right? |
Twin Snakes is well worth buying and blowing the dust off your Wii for. Fantastic game.

It's £25 from CeX. Plus, I need a new GC controller and maybe a memory card if I can't find my other 2. So it'll come to, maybe, about £40.

Nintendo confirms Zelda will not be getting a collection set to celebrate its 25th anniversary. They are still planning on celebrating the anniversary year long with other stuff but no actual collection set will be made.

:( I was actually looking more forward to this being done than the Mario one once Nintendo hinted they wanted to do a special set for Zelda's anniversary. That one and Skyward Swords were going to be the main titles I wanted to pick up this Fall. |
Based on a source very close to Sony, the company is currently working on a new revision for the PS3 but unlike the PS3 Slim, this revision is focused completely on security.
Taking inspiration from the PSN hacking and Microsoft's own new disc format, Sony is in the process of redesigning the disc format for the PS3 using the BD driver and not the motherboard in a similar way to Microsoft's recent disc update beta process. This would allow Sony to put the security changes on the discs themselves and use a firmware update to make them readable on all PS3s. Quote:
Sony is expected to unveil the new version of the PS3 along with a potential price cut this year during the Tokyo Game Show. http://admintell.napco.com/ee/images...ps3slimred.jpg http://www.gamertell.com/technologyt...d-j-for-bd-3d/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Sega joins the growing list of video game companies who have been hacked with their Sega Pass servers being shut down due to hacks occurring yesterday. Sega did reveal that some accounts had their info stolen but confirmed that no info related to credit cards or payment stuff was taken. 2) The creator of Minecraft reveals that the studio currently working on the port of the game for the Xbox 360 is 4J Studios. The same studio handled last year's port of the N64 Perfect Dark game to Xbox Live Arcade. 3) EA continues to be douchebags to Valve and Steam with today saying they were happy that Valve had a "change of heart" and returned Alice: Madness Returns back for sale on Steam. EA started their war against Valve yesterday after several current EA related games were pulled from Steam with EA blaming Valve even though older EA games were still on Steam. |
it's interesting how when we were young and didn't know jack shit about the "real world" of video game politics, like what ea is doing with valve, but today when we are grown and mature with the internet at our fingertips, it's like the entire industry is completely different than how we remember it.

Weekend News Edition
Kotaku held a post-Ocarina of Time 3DS development interview with Nintendo regarding the Zelda series with Nintendo revealing why no 25th anniversary set for the series, the idea of Navi being annoying, and other stuff.
Nintendo believes the best way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Zelda series is to celebrate the music of the series with traveling concerts in both the US and Canada. The reason is due to how much of an influence music plays in the series especially since Ocarina of Time. The idea of Link jumping automatically is due to Miyamoto stressing he doesn't want Link to play any way similar to Mario in a game. He wants Zelda games to be focused on combat/action and already has another series and charcter dedicated to platforming. Quote:
http://kotaku.com/5813181/is-navi-an...carina-of-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Microsoft's Xbox Live becomes the latest to be attacked with LulzSec claiming they have taken and displayed some of the account info they stole. 2) Namco reveals that while Sony paid for exclusive HD port of the Wii's Tales of Vesperia game in Japan, they will not be putting the game on the PS3 for other regions. The reason given was due to Microsoft won the rights to the game for both US and Europe markets. 3) Crytek denies rumors of the studio already having access to the next Xbox dev kits but the studio did not deny the rumor of them currently working on a TimeSplitters 4 game. They did reveal the rumors of them working on an engine using DX 11 is true but only for Crysis 2. |
LulzSec will be made an example of pretty soon, I think.
|
There is a rumor of some blog recently leaked the names of most if not all the members of LulzSec but hasn't been confirmed yet by the group. Also the CIA is rumored to have joined the FBI in tracking down all the members of the group.
|
Rumors probably started by LulzSec.

Duke Nukem 3D joins the list of older games getting the HD/remake treatment as a Danish studio named Interceptor Entertainment is currently working with Gearbox on the remake of the original game.
The studio is using the Unreal 3 engine as the basis for the remake and announced the game itself will contain new dialogue lines to go along with the original dialogue spoken in the game. Online multiplayer was confirmed to support up to 16 people with the majority of maps being classic DN 3D maps and a bunch of characters to available to choose. Unlike DN Forever, the game will have an early demo released later this summer and is primarily focused on the multiplayer with 4 characters, 7 weapons, and 2 maps. The game itself will be available later this year and as a downloadable title but no actual release date or systems were announced. http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideo...mb_wide940.jpg http://www.computerandvideogames.com...is-back-again/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) In an update to Sega getting hacked last week, 1.3 million accounts were confirmed to have been stolen while Sega confirms it is reworking its Sega Pass system for better security when it relaunches. 2) Max Payne 3 appears to have an official release date after Amazon sent notices to pre-order consumers saying the game will be released or arrive on December 1st of this year. Rockstar has yet to confirm the date but other retailers have changed their expected release date for the game. 3) Early sales for Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS have the game sold out at a lot of retailers in both Japan and the US. Nintendo stated this was done on purpose after Spirit Tracks was over-shipped but had low sales and to test how strong of a demand there is for the current game before doing more shipments. |
During an interview with GamePro, Yoshinori Ono says one of his plans for the future of the Street Fighter franchise is to make a game that is completely customizable beyond just a create-a-character found in other fighters.

A group called "Unknown" promised the attack is only meant for Sony itself while PSN accounts will be left alone unlike during LulzSec's attack. 3) Ubisoft is planning to have Ghost Recon Future Solider beta to occur around a vague "Q1 2012" date or at least between January - March 2012. The beta is exclusive to Xbox 360 users and Splinter Cell Conviction pre-order owners will still have their spot available in the beta. |

Conflicting reports and rumors are showing Square-Enix is in the process of porting Dragon Quest X to the Wii U after the company sent out a vague hint of them adding "support" of the game to the Wii U.
This support was revealed to be company's current priority of making sure the game works on the Wii U with hints of some sort of special support to take advantage of the Wii U controller. The issue occurs due to the vagueness of the testing making it appear as if the testing is treating the game as 2 separate games and not just a Wii game running on Wii U similar to what Nintendo did with Twilight Princess. They still stressed that the Wii will still get Dragon Quest X on schedule around early to mid-2012 in Japan after originally revealing the game was pushed out of the late 2011 release date. Other reports and rumors have the game arriving during the launch window of the Wii U and a future 3DS version in development. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...011/06/dqx.jpg http://www.giantbomb.com/news/dragon...port-too/3409/ http://kotaku.com/5814359/report-dra...rface-on-wii-u ------------------------------------------------------ Quick News Round-Up: 1) Microsoft planning on using Kinect for a potentially new advertising section to the 360's dashboard that will incorporate interactive ads using Kinect, the ability to instantly tweet games to your Twitter account, and something similar to a store locator for finding games on sale. 2) Miyamoto confirms that the next Zelda game is currently in development for the Wii U and the HD demo of Twilight Princess on the Wii U at E3 was to showcase what the next Zelda could look like and see the level of interest from the crowd to another Zelda. 3) After weeks of Xbox 360 users having access to Beyond Good & Evil HD remake, Ubisoft announced PS3 users will have access to the game on June 28 for the price of $9.99. |
The next game in the Smash Bros series might take much longer than expected as Project Sora said in an interview that the studio was completely caught off-guard when Nintendo announced a new game in the series at E3.
According to the original plans by both Nintendo and the studio, the next game in the series was meant to be only on the 3DS but the sudden announcement at E3 of a Wii U version caused a lot of the early planning and initial development to be scrapped. Quote:
Nintendo is rumored to be involving another studio they own to help Project Sora once development actually starts. http://i.screwattack.com/content/ima...1307591963.jpg http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...en-started-yet ---------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) After some digging around on Steam, a few people discovered the PC versions of Final Fantasy VII and VIII are currently on Steam and have been there for months but disabled for sale. Also discovered from the files were Square-Enix attempt on tweaking the game to run on current PCs with graphical and gameplay enhancements but for unknown reasons ended up dropping work on the project. 2) Epic Games could be reconsidering supporting the PS3 after Bulletstorm barely managed to 1/4of the Xbox 360's version while the game combined barely reached 1 million sold. This would make the 2nd big title from Epic Games to "fail" or bust on the PS3 in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PC. 3) Based on some leaks, Sony is planning to continue the current tradition of re-releasing games as sets with the Uncharted series, Resistance series, and Ratchet & Clank bundles are all planned for a 2011 release date. Each of the sets will contain something related to an upcoming game in the series while only the Uncharted bundled was confirmed to be $39.99. |

After about 8 years of service, Star Wars Galaxies is set to officially go offline on December 15 after Sony Online Entertainment, Bioware, and LucasArts confirmed the end of the MMO game.
The servers are going to be gradually freed up for the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO game with the last set of servers to go completely offline in December. As part of making sure nothing goes wrong during the process, the ability to auto subscribe to the game will be shut off on October 15 while the trading card game will be discontinued and unable to activate on September 15. Sony Online Entertainment does have a final "thank you" gift set up for later this year involving a massive final quest being hyped up as a “galaxy-ending in-game event." While the game wasn't as popular as other big name MMOs like World of Warcraft, declining revenues and sales with the need to release a brand new game in the Star Wars series ended up being the main factors in the decision to shut down the MMO. http://i.screwattack.com/content/ima...1309015385.jpg http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...s-Bids-Farwell ------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Splash Damage and Bethesda announce that Brink's first DLC pack called "Agents of Change" will be free for the first 2 weeks once the pack is released in early July. 2) The complete disc set of games for the Bit.Trip.Saga was announced to be arriving on September 13 with bonuses included for the 3DS and Wii versions. The series originally was only a WiiWare exclusive except for the first game also being on PC. 3) US Supreme Court expected to decide on the current case originating from California on the debate of violent games needing to be censored or considered as free speech this Monday. The issue revolves around the vagueness of California law that doesn't define what a violent game is but also only targets video games and not other forms of entertainment. |
Anyone that's interested, the Wii now has a "Kirby TV" channel. It's free to download from the Wii shop.
The channel has 50+ episodes of the Kirby: Right Back At Ya! cartoon to view for free. They have 4 up already with more going up every so often. You can only watch certain episides between certain dates but, if you miss an episode, you can find keys by watching the other episodes and use that key to watch an episode you missed. |
Might as well have a Nintendo TV channel that shows all the Nintendo cartoon shows. Hell, produce new stuff. This is a good idea so watch it never happen.

After seeing the success both in terms of sales and reception to the remake of GoldenEye on the Wii, Activision could potentially be thinking of having another "remake" or game made in the series.
New domain names registered to Activision recently show the company locked in the rights to the name of "GoldenEye Reloaded" which could hint at the company thinking of continuing that line of games from the James Bond series. Rumors are ranging anywhere from the domain name being linked to a future Wii U game, a HD re-release of the Wii's GoldenEye game to the Wii U, or even the N64 classic being ported to unknown download services. The game or series is unlikely to appear on a non-Nintendo system unless if the potentially new game ends up similar to EA's unrelated GoldenEye game due to Nintendo both being unwilling to share the game's IP with Microsoft or Sony and them owning most of the first choice rights to the series. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/as.../goldeneye.jpg http://kotaku.com/5815913/is-goldene...for-rereleased -------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Uncharted 3 beta size has been confirmed to be 1.7 GB and will be downloaded all at once instead of other PS3 betas using PSN that require additional "update" downloads to finish the large file size. 2) Sony is expanding the idea of games from the PSP library to the PS3 by now including games not part of a series or set as new bundles. These bundles will be called Dual Packs and contain 2 games unrelated to each other at the cost of $15 per set. 3) Microsoft reveals both the list and dates for this year's "Summer of Arcade" on the Xbox 360. This year's special deal involves buying all 5 games and getting Crimson Alliance for free when its released on September 7. Quote:

The fallout from the PSN hacking attack now has some official results with roughly 90% of PSN users have returned back to PSN, Sony posting its worst financial loss in 16 years, and the calling for the current CEO to step down.
While 90% of PSN users have returned, Sony did not state if the stat meant 90% of the accounts have been reactivated or if 90% of the actual user base returned. Sony has about 70+ million PSN accounts but only 50+ million actual users. The financial mess of the hacking attack along with the recent earthquake and poor showing from other divisions in the company resulted in the 3rd year in a row the entire company generating a loss. The losses also ended up being the worst losses for the company as a whole in the last 16 years, even topping the $3+ billion lost in 2006/2007. The push to remove Howard Stringer as CEO of Sony revolves mostly around the slow response to both the shareholders and customers which in turn negatively hurt the company's stock and image. Sony's stock has dropped roughly 30% since the incident with shareholders giving Stringer a vote of "no confidence." Stringer's job has been in jeopardy the past few years with former Playstation boss, Kaz Hirai seen as the favorite to replace him. Even though Hirai tenure with the Playstation division usually results in big annual losses, the company still feels his presence and dealing with the media would be much better than Stringer. Stringer recently blamed the PSN hacking attack due to hackers not wanting Sony to be allowed to ""Protect its IP" instead of the actual reasons being the removal of features and the arrogance of the company to both hackers, users, and customers. http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0...con_middle.jpg http://www.giantbomb.com/news/most-p...adership/3434/ http://kotaku.com/5816092/sony-says-...protect-its-ip ----------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Pac-Man's creator Toru Iwatani stated in an interview that he feels the games of today do not have that same special feeling of games in the past that remain special decades after they were released.

Based on an internal memo sent around EA Sports studios, EA is looking to open up a new studio for their EA Sports line while also showing some concern about the losses of key members from the Madden franchise.
EA is planning on opening a new studio in Austin, Texas but are still looking for a good spot that would be both convenient and large enough to develop their games. This new studio's main task would involve the recently planned idea of "persistent" experiences to EA Sports games in regard to both online-related and career mode related stuff. Also revealed in the memo is the need to focus on a new outlook for the Madden series due to the loss of a few key contributors to the series. The goal is to make a stronger push to keep the remaining staff members critical to the series while offering a lot more promotions to newer people. The idea behind this move is to both ensure no more critical people leave to competing companies and bring in new perspectives for their Madden series and potentially the other sports series in the EA Sports line. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/as...rts_retail.jpg http://kotaku.com/5816815/internal-m...xpansion-plans ------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Once Xbox 360 exclusive title Limbo will be heading to PSN in the near future based on a leak involving a South Korean ratings board showing the title as part of the upcoming games for the PS3. 2) As a follow-up to yesterday's Sony story, Sony is now one step closer to replacing Stringer as CEO after Hirai was promoted today to Chairman of Sony. The move comes just a day after shareholders made a strong push to replace Stringer due to a 30% drop in stocks and negative image the company gained in recent weeks. 3) Blizzard reveals they are currently working on a new MMO game called Titan that according to them will be "ambitious, awesome, and casual" in comparison to their work on WoW and the upcoming Diablo III game. The game is expected to arrive within the next 1-2 years but not until the current the expansion packs for WoW and work on Diablo III are done. |

Only days after the Supreme Court struck down the California case involving the idea of violent games needing censorship or being seen as free speech, the US Senate is currently debating and could potentially pass a new bill that will make video game streaming illegal.
The bill focuses more on people streaming game footage than actually streaming or uploading files to pirate a game and its vagueness treats video game streaming the same as streaming a movie that is shown in theaters. Also considered illegal would be uploading your own playthroughs and walkthroughs for a game similar to a Lets Play or streaming playing games for charity. Quote:

In a somewhat surprising announcement, Media Molecule announced during a gaming convention in Spain that it is planning on ending the LittleBigPlanet series once the Vita version of the game is completed.
The official response is the studio wants to break away from the series to create some new IPs but didn't explain if the reason was due to them getting "bored" making the games or didn't want to expand the physics and gameplay with future games in the series. This also continues the tradition of Media Molecule only working on a series for a specific console and not wanting to expand the series to a new console (or handheld) besides a port. The announcement also appears to have been done without Sony knowing beforehand and could leave Sony with needing to find a new studio to work on the series if they decide on more games in the future for the series. http://i.screwattack.com/content/ima...1309538489.jpg http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...tle-Big-Planet |

Microsoft along with law enforcement have started to investigate how an early non-beta playable copy of Gears of War 3 surfaced on the Internet, specifically Youtube, after it was found that the videos were showing off unapproved gameplay footage of the single player.
Microsoft also confirmed that the footage is indeed legit although they did state "This content is not from a final build" and didn't not explicitly say how recent the stolen build of the game was. The stuff was also confirmed to have been possibly taken from a development kit instead of the traditional way of leaks occurring after discs are printed. The leak is assumed to have come from inside Epic Games studio with either an actual programmer for the game or one of the on-site beta testers providing the leaked content. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...arsmontage.jpg http://kotaku.com/5817846/early-gear...-investigating -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Naughty Dog hints that their next project after Uncharted 3 is finished could be a new Jax and Daxter game and would be for the PS3. 2) EA reveals it is planning to reveal some huge announcements at their Summer Showcase event along with having playable demos of Madden 12, Battlefield 3, and The Sims 3 Pets. 3) Based on rumors from Tawain, the PS4 could be making a surprise debut at E3 2012 along with the next Xbox console and if the company manufacturing the new console is to be believed, the PS4 will also have Kinect-like abilities. Also rumored were production for the console is expected to start in late 2011 with a release date of late 2012. |

Can Perlman really deliver the "impossible? It'd be fucking awesome if he could. |
Rockstar preparing to drop both financial and working support with Team Bondi after recent news revealed the company was furious with how badly Team Bondi mismanaged the company's money involving the L.A. Noire project.
Rockstar has already refused to both publish and finance the next project currently in development by Team Bondi with the final break-up expected to occur pretty soon. The biggest reason for Rockstar's decision was due to the increasing "fighting" and resentment between Rockstar and Team Bondi's founder. The main issues ended up being Team Bondi refusal to make any changes Rockstar felt were needed and the studio's habit of firing and hiring too many people multiple times during development. Quote:

Sony confirms it will have its own Pass-system similar to other companies and will be called PSN Pass.
Sony also mentioned that unlike other Pass-systems, each PSN Pass is game-specific and not a general online-only restriction. No actual details on what would be restricted for non-online multiplayer games was given by the company. So far only PS3 games were announced to be getting the PSN Pass with a very big chance PS Vita will also be getting the same service at a later date. No pricing or other details regarding PSN Pass was revealed although the company did mention it will start once Resistance 3 is released. Non-PSN Pass countries will be locked out of content until Sony updates or brings the Pass to those areas. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/pics/so...0_expanded.jpg http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...-3-ps3-bundle/ |

Namco Bandi is suing Projekt Red's parent company Optimus SA over an issue regarding publishing rights for the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher II in Europe.
While the US could still have the Xbox 360 version released on time, the European version of the game might be delayed for a while. The issue revolves around Namco not being informed of THQ being awarded of publishing rights in Europe for the Xbox 360 version when Namco and Bandi currently hold the PC and Xbox 360 rights of the game. According to Namco, they were never informed that THQ was bidding and won rights to the game which prevented Namco or Atari from bidding. Namco also assumed their rights to the PC version and Atari's US rights would have carried over to Europe. Namco also owns the European branch of Atari while allowing the US branch to be a separate publisher instead of Namco publishing both the PC and Xbox 360 in the US. Quote:

I don't want it quite as much if THQ gets a hold of it. If it isn't UFC or Saint's Row, they have no idea how to make games not suck.

Has 'online multiplayer' lag. I can imagine some games that would be perfect for this, though.

Guy I knew had every single European released Mega Drive game, but not all sealed. I thought that was bad enough.
