Even that was better than this. This looks like an indy title or a generic early xbla title with Double Dragon slapped on. Not impressed at all.

Microsoft hints the next big focus for Kinect is to improve the voice recognition to make users sound like "actors" with the basis being how well they liked the feature in Mass Effect 3.

The boss of the Kinect division, Kudo Tsunoda, says the goal is to improve the voice recognition to make virtual conversations seem more fluid while also improving the camera to take into account body movements and stances.

Quote:

He said that he would like games to be able to factor in voice tone and body stance during virtual conversations.

“We’re looking at how we can make people more like actors within a narrative. I think the work done within Mass Effect 3 has been awesome,” he explained to MCV. ”We want to get to the stage where not only can Kinect detect what you’re saying but also tone of voice and body stance, and work that into the narrative. There are some really compelling experiences to be gained from that.”

Funny thing is, I always read out the options in KotOR1/2 (or any such branching dialogue system) to immerse myself in the game. It would be funny to actually do that as an option.

Fable is dead. Long live Fable II.

Drakul 04-07-2012 02:55 AM

The voice recognition thing is what I was talking about here.

You have to read out a few hundred phrases to help improve Kinects voice recognition. I guess the above news story is why.
The few hundred phrases are broken up into 8 stages so you don't do it all at once, if you don't want to.

Some of the phrases were weird. One was something like "I was in bed with Robert, at the time." Most were normal things like "Xbox, achievements." and small things like "cat" and "dog".

Kane Knight 04-07-2012 08:27 AM

I was in bed with Robert at the time.

Quick Pc question. Installed GTA 1 and I can't figure out how to adjust the ratio so the screen isn't cut off. GTA 2 has ratio adjustment in the options but GTA 1 doesn't. How do I fix this?

Also, for some reason, GTA 1 has the police radio playing the entire time, even if I'm on foot or in a non-police car.

A bunch of Epic Games stuff with the long rumored Gears of War Exile officially canceled, an exclusive game being made for the PC, and no chance at a sequel for Bulletstorm.

While only rumored to be in development as a Kinect title, Cliffy B confirmed at PAX East Hears of War Exile was actually in development. The project was recently cancelled with the main reason rumored to have been the development team struggling to get the Gears of War style to work with the Kinect system.

Also announced at PAX East was the company is developing a game exclusively for the PC with the potential of being the debut game for the Unreal 4 Engine. A few rumors are pointing to either the tech demo of Samatarian could be made into a full game or a new game in the Unreal Tournament series.

According to Mike Capps, president of Epic Games, a sequel to Bulletstorm was in development until it was recently scrapped in favor of a new unannounced project. People Can Fly studio was developing the game for Epic Games until the project got cancelled.

Quote:

"We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon."

"I'd love to go back [to Bulletstorm]," he added. "I think there's more to do with Bulletstorm. Heck, it kind of ended wanting more. I'd love to see another project, but right now we don't have anything to talk about."

Anyone who downloaded the fan-made Sonic 2 HD remake is urged to delete the game as soon as possible from their hard drive as a keyloger was discovered to be running while the game is played.

The rumor is one of the programmers was pissed at the ability of people to take unapproved screen shots of the game or something that was done by others on the team which he hated and put in the key logger as a nasty surprise. None of the other members of the team knew about it until recently.

EA accidentally confirms the existence of Crysis 3 after making the mistake of publishing the box art on their Origin services instead of a place holder.

It wasn't just limited to a picture of the game's box art as other adverts meant to be shown latter were also discovered on Google and other web sites before being pulled down by EA.

The suggested $49.99 price is assumed to be just a place holder as EA and other companies have adopted the standard console price of $59.99 for big name PC games and ports.

This also isn't the first time Crysis 3 has been teased to be debuting soon as last month the CVG teased Crytek was working on a "major unannounced project" while magazine Game Reactor teased Crysis 3 might be the cover image for their upcoming issue.

According to Miyamoto, he'd like a "spiritual" sequel to A Link To The Past to be made one day and a new F-Zero game to be made for the Wii U.

While his idea is for a new Zelda game to be influenced heavily by A Link to The Past, he doesn't want an exact remake of the game made for the 3DS or Wii U. Instead he would want the game to use a similar graphical and gameplay style as the basis.

"I think the answer would be the same if we're talking about just porting," he said, "but I think I'd be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past. I think it's important to bring some really new software."

He did admit he wouldn't have any control over the project but would want to hand pick the director if the project gets approved in the future.

Quote:

"To be very honest and open, it really depends on the directors that have time at the moment as well," he said. "Some directors, I can give them the title and I know they will do something great with it.

"Other directors I'm not so 100 per cent confident [in], so they're the ones I'd rather take a more remake approach to the title. It really depends on that as well."

Miyamoto wouldn't be drawn on his favorite among the current crop of Nintendo directors, but he reserved special praise for one in particular: Koichi Kawamoto, who developed the concept demo that birthed the WarioWare series, and more recently created 3DS's StreetPass Quest. Miyamoto says Kawamoto is "a very strong figure [who] will play a very important role in the future."
The last time he held absolute control during development of a Zelda game was with A Link to the Past for the SNES.

In regards to a potential new F-Zero game, he teased its very possible the next F-Zero game would be on the Wii U with the goal of wanting to create a surprise or something unique which every F-Zero game has done so far. He admitted he nor anyone else was able to come up with something amazing for the Wii which is why there was no F-Zero game for it.

Valve could be reigniting rumors of a Steam Box being developed as two key developments occurred recently.

The first is based on a recent job posting by the company due to them currently hiring engineers with experience developing hardware. While this could just be related to Valve's current plans on making Steam compatible with TV monitors, its also possible it could be related to previous "Steam Box" rumors.

Quote:

“Join our highly motivated team that’s doing hardware design, prototyping, testing, and production across a wide range of platforms,” the advert reads. ”We’re not talking about me-too mice and gamepads here – help us invent whole new gaming experiences.”

The successful applicant will have to, ”work with the hardware team to conceive, design, evaluate, and produce new types of input, output, and platform hardware.”
The second development is based on a recent meeting Gabe Newell supposedly had today with the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook. While no exact details of the meeting were revealed current rumors range from Valve getting some input on how to design the Steam Box, a potential Steam app/client for the iOS devices, or integrating Steam into the AppleTV project.

Rare could be tweaking their game development direction after recently hiring the former head creative director of Sega West as the new head creative director boss of the company.

Simon Woodroffe, who also worked at Midway and Ubisoft, will become the new head creative director with his main experience revolving around R&D for game projects.

Quote:

Woodroffe has been in the industry for more than 20 years, his first game was a point-and-click adventure called Simon the Sorcerer. He also worked at Midway and Ubisoft before moving to Sega.

“He has worked on many innovative titles over the years, including some really impressive R&D prototyping projects. He is a terrific all-rounder and the ideal person to head up our design department,” said Rare senior studio director Craig Duncan. ”Rare is committed to making the best possible games experiences that inspire everyone to play, and we believe the best way to do that is to attract the brightest and best talent in the business.”

“Games are my passion and they are Rare’s passion so this is my dream role. I love working with talented and creative people and there are plenty of them here at Rare. I am looking forward to getting stuck into making incredible games that will be worthy additions to the pedigree of the studio,” added Woodroffe.
Woodroffe is expected to help more with the design and development of Kinect games the company currently is making than actually provide a huge shift into a new direction or even reviving classic Rare series.

At least Alex could fight for herself.

If you like babysitting games tho, I won't judge.

The Destroyer 04-19-2012 11:03 AM

Not really, you couldn't kill her either. Just let her be dragged off to her doom.

Couldn't look up her skirt either. :shifty:

Also, Ravenholm is scarier than anything in Resident Evil 4.

It's funny that the Sonic devs are getting their balls busted for stopping at part two of promised episodic content when Valve has been a much harsher prick tease about the whole thing.

He probably just faps to her. We're talking about a guy who thinks the pinnacle of gaming is the ability to simulate sex.

G 04-20-2012 04:34 PM

Well, considering Apple products hold the highest resale value and are insanely easy to sell, I guess you made the right call letting GS violate you for $250. :roll:

Emperor Smeat 04-20-2012 06:54 PM

EA announces they are putting a strong emphasis on "online universes" for all future games they develop.

The idea is for a single game covering multiple platforms to share the same "online universe" in a sense that anything done in one platform benefits the same game owned on a different platform. The games would all share the same online account and data which also means everything is saved on EA's servers than locally.

The examples EA gave involved playing FIFA on mobile devices can unlock achievements for the same game owned on the Xbox 360.

Quote:

Imagine a player gets up in the morning, plays an online match on his 360 before going to work. On the bus, on his way to work, he practices his free kicks on his tablet. At lunch he looks at the transfer window on his PC. On the way home he chooses his kit on his smartphone.

Here's the thing: when he gets home to play again on his 360 that evening, all those achievements and upgrades will be alive in his game.
The company already tested this idea earlier in the year by having the iOS app for Mass Effect 3 help unlock and boost stats for the console versions of the game.

DaveBrawl 04-21-2012 08:21 PM

A good day for he and Philip Humber.


Is he the first to do it this year? I would have thought someone would have had it by now, since the contest on last year's game ended on the first day.

Kalyx triaD 04-21-2012 08:23 PM

I don't think he's the first, but they added other steps to make it a tourny sort of deal even after doing it at home.

Kalyx triaD 04-21-2012 08:25 PM

My brother made 2nd place in a West Palm Beach SoulCalibur V tourny today. Feeling unambitious as far as competitive gaming goes.

Oh, that's cool. Makes the whole competition seem more exciting to me rather than some random draw ending it on day 1 and everyone forgetting about it.

Activision announces the debut of the next Call of Duty game will officially occur on May 1st during the NBA playoffs.

The game is expected to be Call of Duty Black Ops 2 with more rumored details involving the game's multiplayer supposedly leaked. Since the game is being developed by Treyarch, very little chance of a new engine being created due to Infinity Ward being the studio in charge of the Modern Warfare engine development.

Quote:

Game Modes

Escort ~ A game mode in which you escort a player across three flags to achieve victory. The enemy team killing the player will result in a win for their side.

Split Spawn ~ A game mode in which you spawn from a hellicopter, and climb down to get to the ground. The player starts with 3 lives. One player can control the chopper to let you climb down in different areas, as well as shoot from the chopper. If the chopper is destroyed, players can no longer spawn. Players compete for a central flag that takes 2x as long to capture than a regular domination flag. Either the death of all opposing players or the capturing of the flag will grant you a win. This game has 2 rounds.

Equalizer ~ A game mode in which players are switched to the enemy team upon death. Players will compete for a flag, which when owned, open up a power plant to allow the player to customize their class in game, get new weapons, and put on a juggernaut suit for their team only.When there are 2 players left on a team, they are granted with the power plant automatically, and pointstreaks up to a 5 point requirement can also be obtained. If either of the two players die, they will remain on their own team. The team with the most converts (kills) at the end will win. If tied, whoever is currently owning the power plant will win.
Perks have also been reworked to include "Elite" perks which require base perks to be included and not allowing just elite perks to be stacked on each other. Each perk also appears to be broken down into 3 groups with Pro, Elite, and a class specialist as the options available.

The entire list of known and rumored stuff for the game is greater detail in the EGMNOW source link.

The game is expected for release on November 13.

Kirby getting a decent anniversary deal?

Emperor Smeat 04-24-2012 06:22 PM

After constant rumors of Ubisoft considering making a sequel to Rayman Origins, the company might have accidentally confirmed and leaked details of a potential sequel.

A survey sent by Ubisoft revealed the company wanted feedback to the details of the game containing new characters such as dragon ghosts and Greek Gods while also revealing plans for at least a PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 release.

The supposed screens included in the survey shows the game will a similar style as the first game although Ubisoft refused to deny the screens potentially being fake.

No other details were revealed nor if there will not be a handheld, Wii, or Wii U version planned for a later release. The original did have a release on the 3DS and Wii with poor advertising and timing to blame for low sales for each version.

A trailer was also supposedly leaked but wasn't confirmed by Ubisoft if it was indeed a legit debut trailer for Rayman Origins 2.

I never actually played a full Kirby game growing up, but the times I tried them, I enjoyed them. I would love a proper anniversary collection.

According to sources close to the Official Xbox Magazine, the previously cancelled TimeSplitters 4 is currently in development again and is in a playable form but no guarantees the game will ever be released.

Quote:

In their latest issue the magazine writes: ”Trusted OXM sources have claimed that they’ve seen TimeSplitters 4 running. That’s no guarantee that it’ll be released – at least one version of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 was cancelled without ever being announced – but it’s a promising sign.”
While Crytek hasn't completely ruled out a Timesplitters 4 game never being released and have stated they really want to revisit the franchise, its still up to Free Radical to develop the game itself. The biggest issue is funding due to Free Radical still having financial problems even with Crytek as their new parent company and EA will not help fund the game.

Earlier rumors did tease it was possible the game could have a debut as early as this year's E3 show but Crytek hasn't confirmed those rumors to be true.
