@ Crytek PC tidbit:

What the fuck ever.

Yeah, the PC could graphically destroy 360/PS3 right now with the tech in those cards and the latest features of DirectX, but it would require a lot of dev resources and noones willing to do that because of PC gaming sales right now.

:foc:

Oh yeah, there's certainly a Bayonetta 2 coming.

God I love Recettear. Basically an RPG, but instead of being the hero, you're running an item shop in the game world. Fantastic.

Capatilism, ho!

You need to have an Xbox LIVE Gold membership to send messages to friends and other gamers

Get the fuck out of here Microsoft. When did they start with this shit

Is that for Party mode since I believe that is only for Gold members or at least if they are playing online?

Collector's Edition and special pre-order stuff revealed for Dexus Ex: Human Revolution.

The Gamestop pre-order exclusive appears to be the best deal since you get a weapons pack (explosives type) and an extra mission to play with an appearance from a character in the original Deus Ex.

The other pre-order bonus is just a weapons pack (stealth/tactical type).

Open your eyes, mortal.

Whoops. Skimmed the thread title and thought it was another one of those 'things'.

Even though EA Sports non-Madden and FIFA games are having a bad year in terms of sales and revenue, EA confirmed their MMA game will get a sequel but not in the near future.

Currently EA is working on another Fight Night game and still is deciding if they want to release a Boxing and MMA on an every-other-year schedule.

Most likely EA wants to match the THQ 2-year cycle for their UFC game instead of forcing a MMA game or boxing game in the annual cycle.

In unrelated news, 343 Studios first Halo game is rumored to be a remake or updated version of Halo 1 but using the Reach engine. It is not expected to be a direct port with new graphics but at the same time not a re-imagined version like how GoldenEye 007 for the Wii was.

If they do an all out remake they should add some guns from Reach in there, wouldn't mind having the DMR and Needle Rifle in campaign.

Halo 1 with the Reach engine would be pretty epic, though creatively a wasted opportunity. People are dying to know what's up with Master Chief and that strange planet.

I don't think it would be possible storyline-wise since almost all of the high-tech weapons are destroyed since Reach was a research and lab station planet. At least for the UNSC side but Covenant weapons could appear in the remake.

Bungie went on record saying they'd let canon-wise details like that slide for the sake of gameplay, 343 Studios may follow this example. It may not be the DMR as we know it, but we will see altered H1 weapons or new weapons under the current balance philosophy.

Pornstar Alexis Silver has announced she's getting into game development, as part of her post-porn quest for 'legit work'. It's hilarious.

lol maybe she is a brainiac, you never know.

If she has anything to do with a future AAA title the world will change forever.

all i see happening is her getting tossed up by developers and then going back to porn

Win win.

It was probably her plan all along knowing that she wouldn't be able to get into game development in the first place so she got famous the easiest way possible and now can do whatever she wants.

Next Ghostbusters game expected to play like a "retro" style game in presentation since it is going for the Gaunlet or Marvel Ultimate Alliance style in appearance.

The game is also set for more of an arcadey shooter for gameplay and might be less focused on a story this time.

Also announced was the game as a downloadable title for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC with a Spring 2011 release date.

The previous game was more heavy in story and 3rd person perspective for gameplay and presentation.

In other news, Microsoft reveals that almost 1/2 of all Xbox 360 accounts are not Gold or paying accounts but in terms of revenue, it doesn't matter since XBLA marketplace gains more revenue than the rest of Microsoft's paid services combined.

It is expected the number of paying accounts will drop due to the price hike but nothing dramatic.

That last pic is the Wii version.

Fly Mr. Science is clearly going to be the GOTY 2011 based on box art alone.

Take-Two's 2k studio considering dropping the MLB exclusive license in 2012 since its been more of a hassle than a benefit owning the license.

A big issue ended up being the loophole allowing the Big 3 to make a baseball game if they wanted which hurt 2k baseball sales on Sony systems. EA also had to worry about this with Madden but Microsoft and Sony ended their NFL series before the exclusive deal was done.

Their financial report for the 2009 MLB games (2k9, Front Manager, and The Bigs) ended up at a $130 million loss.

MLB was also a series 2k Sports was weak at creating (same with their NHL brand) and only bought the exclusive deal as a way to pay back EA for killing off their NFL game series.

2k Sports will only extend the deal if MLB can guarantee a bigger pay deal or exclusiveness but its also assumed EA won't bring back the MVP series regardless of the result.

Me too.

That's what I like about her too. Don't know why, though.

It's mostly the boobs.

wtf?! lol

Disc 2 of FF8

Bought Power Gig: Rise of the Six String for 30 bucks. Basically for about 4 songs.


Drunk singing them tonight.

Man it sucks big time. Some of the songs I want are locked, like Disturbed - The Night. And there's no cheat code to unlock them, you have to play through the ENTIRE stupid campaign to unlock them. Bullshit. :mad:

Ubisoft might have accidentally leaked parts of Assassin's Creed 3 with a survey it sent out to people.

Ubisoft wants to get reader feedback for potential stuff in the new Assassin's Creed game but since a lot of the choices can be bunched together, they also might have spoiled some of the surprises for the new game.

Most of the choices involve new stuff and tweaks for multiplayer or weapons but a couple of choices involve the single player storyline and could change the whole story based on the votes from feedback.

Have a bunch of sports, XBox and PS2 games that would never sell or doubtfully trade on Goozex. No idea what to do with them. :-\

Also, anyone try out "Zombie Driver"? It's on Steam. It's an indy game. Getting mixed reviews but looks fun, thinking about getting it. Reminds me a bit of Rock n Roll Racing and Twisted Metal.

Gonna try the demo...
