We'd have to see how it fares when it's released. Being that I love FPS's, I may have to try it.

E-Sport is a ridiculous concept, but not a new one.

I'm all for people playing video game tournaments for money, but don't call it a sport. I also don't want to watch it.

It's as much a sport as Nascar

I've said that about F1. There is no real athletic ability needed in motorsports. It's not like you need good strength or the ability to run 100 metres.The guy in the fastest machine will win.
All you need in motor sports is good reactions and maybe the ability to plan ahead which is what you need in any competitive game.

I wouldn't call either a sport.

What is the definition of a sport, anyway? Any definition I've heard has also applied to something that isn't considered a sport.

Some degree of physical stamina is required for motor sports.

I see it as anything that involves competition based on whatever factors that lend themselves to a non or least random game between humans. Chess can be a sport, certain games can be a sport, ultimate frisbee is a sport, golf, etc. All the field stuff is obvious but also instantly accepted because of the primarily physical factor.

People should be careful not to be so protective of the word, since the same human progression that changes definitions of marriage and other cultural things can also bleed into stuff like 'what is a sport'. Eventually it won't matter and people won't have a problem with Starcraft competitions being a sport.

Get over that.

It's like art. A few centuries ago, art was a sculpture of a man or a painting of a countryside or some kind of scene. Now, art is an unmade bed, a single line on a peice of paper or a light going off and on.

People argue certain things are art and others argue that they aren't.

I don't know where I'm going with this.

Of course, since that was never really true, I'm not sure where you were going either.

In times before electricity, when sheep ruled the world and waffles were considered health food, peeing was a sport. So don't get too attached to the word sport, because one day....

And Nascar is retarded. It's more retarded than the offspring of Droford and Lara Emily.

Sport or not it at least used to be entertaining but it's not even really that anymore.

While it was teased weeks earlier Miyamoto was both working on a new IP series and it could possibly debut at E3, both ended up being delayed due to the announcement of Miyamoto's current schedule leaves him no real time to work on the project for at least the near future.

Currently Nintendo has him helping out their other development teams finish up their own projects for both the Wii U and 3DS.

The original plans were for the new IP title to be worked on around the same time as Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Pikmin 3 before changes were recently made.

The only announcement Miyamoto was able to confirm was he is currently working on storyboard designs for the new game using Flipnote Studio software during his spare free time in between work.

While the recently released Ninja Gaiden 3 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 was generally met with bad reviews and complaints from both reviewers and consumers, Tecmo revealed at E3 Nintendo is working with the company to improve the game for its upcoming port on the Wii U.

Nintendo confirmed they are publishing the game and are lending some support to help fix and tweak certain parts of the game. Tecmo also confirmed the complaints leveled against the game on the other platforms was the basis for improvements for the Wii U version.

The game's AI, the return of dismembering enemies, and a reworked leveling system were a few of the changes currently revealed.

The Wii U version is on track for a Fall 2012 release.

Holy fuck.

Could this be the beginning of a new DNF?

Dunno, I think the current Vaporware champ is still half-life 2 episode 3.

that and Final Fantasy Versus XIII

That's less vaporware and more an epic trolljob.

38 Studios officially filed for bankruptcy yesterday in Delaware.

State and federal money guys are combing the finances. Rhode Island is worried they ain't gonna see all of their $75 million bucks again.

They were apparently already under investigation.

That I know, but what surprised me was how long they took to file. I guess they couldn't afford the plane or train ticket to Delaware.

While Sony showed off their own "Smash Bros"-like game at E3, Microsoft states they have no interest in making one nor would they even consider making one any time soon.

Phil Spencer, boss of Microsoft's game studios, made the official announcement during an interview with Kotaku.

He stated Microsoft's priority with their studios is not to make games that would compete against each other or to rush developing games to fill in multiple genres for the sake of diversity if it comes at the cost of potential sales revenue.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/miya...d-casual-games

Also Microsoft does not have enough of their own character to fill a roster.

Blinx, Master Chief, maybe the Gears of War crew and like Kaim from Lost Odyssey...

Yeah, MS isn't really good at creating memorable mascots.

Which is exactly what people were saying about Sony.

And they were right. Allstar has a shit roster.

The 4 characters from Brute Force.

Hell, at least you can throw Banjo, Conker in and maybe some sort of piñata farmer in ala the Pokemon Trainer in Smash.

First time i try to log into psn in months and its down. fantastic

Microsoft did make a few fighters on the original Xbox so they can use those if they wanted to beef up such a roster but everyone would want KI characters and Rare doesn't want that to happen any time soon. More of a technical reason for Rare since almost nobody is still with the company who worked on the KI series.

They'd still have the same problem Sony is having and its due to not having enough memorable characters. Sony couldn't even get to 7 characters revealed before teasing a 3rd party one appearing (Big Daddy).

You shut your whore mouth. Parappa > you.

A couple of Wii U stuff with another potential rumor pointing to a $300-$350 price range and an interview from Kotaku with Reggie Fils-Aime.

While the price range has been rumored between $300 to $450, recent rumors are leaning towards $300 to $350 as the actual range. If a recent leak by Best Buy is true, the final price might be $300 which still confirms earlier rumors of Japan about the console costing less than $350 in the US.


In an interview with Kotaku, Reggie Fils-Aime revealed a few smaller details involving the Wii U:

* An achievement system has been designed but won't be a mandatory feature like the Xbox 360 and will be left to developers if they want to have them in their games.

* The ability to play Wii U games off of the tablet while the tv is used for non-gaming will be an optional feature for developers.

* Nintendo redid the entire Friends Code system to make it a lot simpler and to also allow account names to be possible

* A transfer system has been designed to allow Wii-to-Wii U games, saves, and DLC be moveable.

* Nintendo is leaning on only including a small hard drive but like the PS3 will allow users to use any hard drive they want for the Wii U.

* Smash Bros for the 3DS and Wii U was teased as the first big game that will show off connectivity between the 2 devices from Nintendo.

* The decision against multi-touch for the tablet was due to buttons being on the tablet which made it redundant to have multi-touch controls.

* Nintendo has no problems with the idea of used games nor has any desire to go after used game owners like other companies.

Hey guys, let's miss the point of the game series entirely and make it something it isn't. What could possibly go wrong?

New details regarding the upcoming Splinter Cell: Blacklist were revealed recently to go along with the potential of a Wii U version possible if a retailer listing is true.

Unlike Conviction which took place mostly in Virginia and Washington DC, the storyline for Blacklist will take place in multiple regions and cities around the world similar to older Splinter Cell games.

Some details in regards to Sam Fisher's role in the new game were also revealed and are a bit of a spoiler.


Stealth and gameplay is a bit more fluid due to Sam Fisher being a bit leaner and faster in this game than in previous games.

A new feature was revealed called "Killing in Motion" and sounds a bit similar to what Ubisoft is trying to achieve with Assassin's Creed 3.
The game will also borrow a bit in style from Deus Ex Human Revolution and past Splinter Cell games by giving the player the option of which style they'd want to use for any mission between pure stealth, pure action, and a mix of both.

Returning from Conviction is the "Last Known Position" feature and interrogations which this time will offer more branching options. The ability to upgrade weapons were also revealed to be new features for the game.

While Ubisoft only announced the game will be released on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, a Wii U version might be revealed in the future if a recent leaked inventory list from Best Buy is true.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/...-work-on-zelda

A lot of the Blacklist details, including the spoiler tag stuff, was well spoken about at E3. No news here, though they really elaborate on the return of Spies vs Mercs.

Of course there will be a Zelda WiiU, a main Zelda game has appeared on every Nintendo console (sometimes twice). I don't even consider it speculation.

After Too Human, I expect nothing from SK. Eternal Darkness was a special game that I don't think can be properly followed up in this day and age.

I know Mike Ironside ain't the voice of Sam Fisher anymore. Which is a bit sad, loved his work for the game and in film/tv. But I'll still grab this, even if some nobody named Eric Johnson is the new voice.

Conviction is one of my favorite games this generation, so I'll definitely be picking up Blacklist.

One thing they need to do, is take a note from the recent Batman games, and make the enemies get scared as you eliminate more people in the area.

It's kind of silly when an enemy is throwing out profanity laden insults and being all cocky, when the bodies of a dozen of his friends are all around him.

Perhaps they have a Koopa Troopa's moxie.

Enemies are going to try and rape Lara in the new Tomb Raider.

Day 1 purchase right here.

Indie Game: The Movie is really good.

Well, rape always adds class.

Shigeru Miyamoto teases that he might consider one day to make a first person shooter for the Wii U but not in a traditional sense where guns are the only focus of the game.

Instead he wants to take the first person perspective to enhance other aspects of a shooter to add in a stronger role for exploration and other often ignored aspects of things in the shooter genre.

In theory, he would want the Wii U tablet to contain all the main data and HUD to leave the tv screen free from items so it would only focus on the virtual world created.

A few of the ideas he was considering were also explaining within the interview with Kotaku with the primary focus involving how the Wii U tablet can create a unique experience for each person playing.

Buying that Kirby set. Hot damn.

Wow, that makes me want to play civ2 again :o

Crystal Dynamics denying and back tracking a bit on claims of the upcoming reboot of Tomb Raider having any rape scenes nor conveys it being possible.

The statement was issued after the negative backlash from the E3 trailer and details from the project's producer suggesting the incident occurs in the game.

The official stance is the producer for the game misspoke about the potential scene in question from the trailer which made it be implied the scene occurs but not on camera during the interview with Kotaku.

Glad the new Civ5 expansion comes out next week. Wanna play now.

uhh....wut?

http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mis...w-fps-project/

Hmm...

I hope this means no more IW CoD games.

That looks like the case. IW is basically dead, surprised they got to do MW3.

Pretty sure IW will be done. Gotta say, its a ballsy move giving your top franchise to a developer who (as far as i know) has never even sniffed a FPS.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...softad6910.jpg

dont know if thats a legit poster from Neversoft, but if so it could say something about the franchise's direction.

Well they have some range. They did Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour well enough, and they never did a game like beforehand. They also did one of the better Spider-Man games way back. I like them.

Don't like their bosses.

i think maybe Activision is realizing the franchise may be getting stale and need some new ideas injected. Im okay with Call of Duty switching developers...they sorta planned that anyway with Sledgehammer.

They don't care if something goes stale, they just didn't a have a decent team to share Treyarch's... duty. I don't know if this will mean fresh ideas, but Neversoft won't get a series and not put their stamp on it.

Activision needs to just give the franchise to Treyarch and change it to a every 2 years release and just support the hell out of the game for 2 years kinda like Bungie did with Halo games.

IMO anyway.

In a better world.

I've said it before, I would've been perfectly fine still playing Black Ops till Nov 13th.

Or just go with a straight up online shooter, then rape our wallets with 'premium' dlc.

We're talking about an industry where a developer got in trouble for game content you had to mod your system to access, and the taboo name of "Taliban" had to be rechristened "OpFor", lest it piss off the uptight masses... so it really should come as no surprise.

NSoft also did Rocks the 80s, didn't they? Looks like it still took 'em a while to get things right.

Actually the 80s game was Harmonix's last game. A quickie for them.

They were working on the early stage of the game when the whole mess involving the former bosses and Activision started involving bonuses and other money with MW 2 sales. I think the mass exodus occurred weeks or months later.

Only reason MW 3 was finished on time was Activision committing 3 studios to work on the game (IW, Treyarch, and Sledge).

Wouldn't be surprised if IW later merges/absorbs with Sledgehammer Games to give them more experienced workers with the series.

A Beenox Spidey game with free-roam?

A couple of Dead Space related news as Dead Space 3 drops competitive multiplayer, the series needs at least 5 million more sales to be guaranteed future games, and the series will be moving away from its horror-based roots to "broaden" its sales ability.

According to news from Game Informer, Dead Space 3 will drop competitive multiplayer modes from the game after the negative reaction from Dead Space 2's multiplayer. The strong emphasis on co-op was done to replace online multiplayer for the game.

Some other details include the game being less linear than previous games, more ammo drops along with universal ammo pickups, side-quest missions called "beta missions", and the ability to combine weapons.

In a different interview, EA reveals the series and Dead Space 3 itself needs about 5 million more sales in order for EA to "justify" making future games for the series. While EA states they don't want to "piss off" loyal fans of the series, the decision to make Dead Space 3 less horror-based is part of their larger plan to broaden the potential buying audience for the series.

We've been too far into ultraviolence for years.

And just like that I give a damn about a Spidey game. Miss that playstyle.

Yeah, playing a Spider-Man game without a large city to sandbox in is kind of stupid. Which is a shame, because I wanted to like their last two games, but....

Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time was a waste of production values. I did think getting all those old voice actors together was cool, but nothing beats carefree city-wide web-swinging.

One final get together for Metal Gear Online:

I loved the idea of multiple Spideys, too. But there's no real fun in linearity. I want multiple characters with different abilities (I liked the 2099 skin in Spider-Man 2 or whatever), ideally. So much potential in Spider-Man's rogue gallery.

Hell yeah! Ringer ftw!

Apparently at some point "Paste Pot Pete" wasn't 90s enough for whatever writer was in charge of Spider-Man that week.

They kept calling him that and Spidey kept calling Paste Pot Pete.

Who wants their daily portion of bullshit?

XBox 720. $299 with "Kinect 2" which has support for 4 player. Blu-Ray. 3D. Yadayadayadayada.

Real or not. It's more shit I don't want or need to game with. Just give me a fucking controller.

The slightly amusing slapstick cutscenes of the Lego games that made the Star Wars games brilliant have been ruined with cutscenes.

This Lego Batman 2 feels too serious, just with Lego characters. Can't even skip them, at least the first one. There's a couple of jokes, but the writing is horrible.

There's a trailer for the LOTR one and it is just the plot of the films in Lego format. All the charms is gone.

Earler this month, EA said that Steam cheapens IP with their sales

Today, EA has a sale. The following games are between 66% and 87.5% off:

Dragon Age: Origins, Darksiders, Spore, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Alice: Madness Returns, Darkspore,█Dead Space 2, Shank, Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam, Mirror’s Edge, The Saboteur, Gotham City Imposters, Gatling Gears, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.█

Cannot believe all that IP has been needlessly cheapened :'(

TimeSplitters 4 could possibly be going back into development with Crytek and Free Radical looking at a fan-based movement as another test for the level of public interest in the game.

A fan-based movement called "100,000 Strong" is using Facebook to generate a goal of 100,000 likes for the project with the idea of sending the results to the boss of Crytek.

The movement itself was the result of a recent tweet sent by the boss of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, who wanted to get a quick estimate of the level of fan interest in the series from Twitter which ended up evolving into an official campaign done by fans.

Both Crytek and Free Radical have mentioned for years they want to make the game become a reality even though financial problems involving Free Radical have caused most of the delays and original project being cancelled earlier in the year.

The promotion starts on July 18 with Tony Hawk HD and ends on August 15 with Dust. Just like previous Summer of Arcade promotions, this year's special offers 400 MS points as a gift for purchasing three of the five titles available.

The main difference this year is all except one title is at the 1200 MS Points price while the special gift doesn't increase in points to offset the higher priced titles.

Tony Hawk HD was also confirmed to be a timed exclusive for XBLA with the PSN version not available until weeks after its release for the Xbox 360.
