THQ announces the DLC pack for Saints Row the Third called "Enter the Dominatrix" has been cancelled in order for the company to focus on developing the next Saints Row game.
While the add-on is being dropped, ideas such as alien invasions and superpower-like abilities from the DLC pack will play a role in the next Saints Row game. Very few details were revealed besides a planned 2013 release date and Volition confirmed to be developing the game. The decision to drop the DLC is estimated to cost THQ another $20 million lost in potential short term revenue. Quote:

Wow. THQ is really making it easy not to buy from them.
|
Bought a Kinect. Having a blast so far.
|
I enjoyed my Kinect for 24 hours. Then only for another 4 after Diabolocal Pitch came out. Everything else is horrifically dire.
|
I have people to play with though. Much more fun that way.
|
So do I when we were drinking at mine. We decided that Wii Sports Resort was much more fun.
Gutted that Steel Batallion was also absolute shit. Fist bumping had finally made it into a game. |
Crytek teases its possible for TimeSplitters 4 to be made as part of their upcoming Free-To-Play line of games if a normal release isn't possible.
According to the company's founder, Cevat Yerli, if publishers keep refusing to help fund the project, Crytek might end up going towards the free-to-play route. In terms of cost, it would be a lot cheaper to develop the game in the free-to-play model than as a standard retail game while providing a potential constant revenue stream which benefits Free Radical the most. It would also help boost interest in Crytek's upcoming free-to-play service expected to launch later this year. Quote:

As posted, Sakurai over seeing the next Smash Bros. games with Namco-Bandai developing. Namco is pulling together a dream team of creators to build the games, including the Tekken team. Harada, however, tweeted that he's too busy to be a part of it. Sakurai says the current build is great.

During an recent interview with Kotaku, EA's COO, Peter Moore, believes the future of gaming involves all games having paid microtransactions and subscriptions with a significant amount of future games being in the free-to-play model.
The goal would be to find the best and quickest way to generate larger amounts of revenue from a huge userbase in the millions and "billions" than just targeting a smaller "hardcore" userbase. He feels the $60 model for games favored by "hardcore" gamers will struggle a lot in the future in terms of sales and growth potential. It would only get worse once the industry actually starts to shift in favor of a new revenue model. Quote:

Ubisoft announces Far Cry 3 has been delayed from its original September 4, 2012 release to now a November 30 release for Europe and a December 4 release in North America.
The announcement was made on the official Twitter account for the game with the official reason being Ubisoft wanted to give a couple extra of months for extra polish. Ubisoft also readjusted their financial outlook for the next two quarters as a result of Far Cry 3 being pushed into their third quarter earnings. Quote:
http://www.screwattack.com/news/ubis...early-december _____________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Update to Fez patch causing problems as Microsoft has removed the patch from Xbox Live while Polytron has stated it might take up to two months for a new patch to arrive. http://www.screwattack.com/news/upda...atch-xbox-live 2) Microsoft is expanding the locations for the $99 subsidized Xbox 360 model to include Gamestop and Best Buy as participating retailers starting today. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/you-ca...t-stores/4237/ 3) EA announces the Need for Speed and Burnout series will now be exclusively made by Criterion studio with Blackbox and other studios dropped from working on future games in both series. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/criter...or-speed/4236/ |
Another summer release bites the dust.
Borderlands 2 is pretty much running unopposed now. |
Perfectly fine with Far Cry 3 being pushed back, given the reasons.
Far Cry 2 had a lot of potential, but technical flaws made the game both tedious and frustrating at times. |
The chief director of the Tekken series, Katsuhiro Harada, recently ranted on Twitter over the constant complaints regarding voice acting in the Tekken series and games in general.
While he states people are too eager to label Namco as lazy if voices are reused or dumb if new voices are used for certain characters, Harada explains the reality is the final decision is solely up to those voice actors. If they refuse to work on a new game, then new voices have to be used. Even the idea of reusing voices from previous games still requires the permission of the actor or agency in order to be used. He also got several complaints about people wanting the voices to sound more like the original games which is a lot less feasible with the current generation of consoles due to different programming, audio work, and other stuff not being as easily transferable as people assume. Quote:
He also states continually spamming him with demands for certain characters to be back never works when it involves promising to buy multiple copies of the same game. Even when those characters do reappear, he still gets constant spam because people either don't bother to read news releases stating those characters will appear, be pre-order bonuses, or as future DLC. http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0...ekken6up_6.jpg http://www.giantbomb.com/news/you-sh...producer/4240/ _________________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Sony rumored to be potentially dropping their Resistance FPS franchise with the studio involved in making the series stating there are no future plans for the series. http://www.destructoid.com/sony-has-...e-230160.phtml 2) The next game in the Total War series is rumored to be debuting soon and will be "Total War: Rome 2" according to a leak from the upcoming issue of PC Power Play magazine. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...al-war-rome-2/ 3) Details regarding this year's EVO championships were revealed with the biggest news being recent infinite combo glitches discovered for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will not be banned during that game's tournament play. http://www.screwattack.com/news/news...oming-evo-2012 |

According to recent rumors, Vivendi, who owns Universal Music and other media-related properties could be selling their partial ownership of Activision to a new buyer.
The biggest fallout for the potential sale wouldn't be a new partial owner for Activision but instead the official debut involving the mysterious Titan project from Blizzard as a way to boost investor interest and stock value for any new potential buyer. It would also occur a lot earlier than originally planned considering the only details regarding the project involve a vague late 2013 release date and its automatic status as a new mega series in the Activision brand.

The developer for the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, MercurySteam, hint they want to work on a new Contra game once both Lords of Shadow games are done if allowed by Konami.
David Cox, lead director of the Castlevania series on consoles, did state it would all depend on how well Lord of Shadow 2 sells. Cox also stated he will step down from the series after the upcoming Castlevania games are released since he wants to both work on a new project and let someone new take over in charge of the series on consoles.

A western take on Contra may be interesting, as the premise lends itself well to western sensibilities.
Probably won't be as a good as Hard Corps but with that out already, I wouldn't mind seeing what somebody wants to do with the brand. |
Wow about Radical Entertainment. I enjoyed the first Prototype. Wasn't really drawn to the 2nd, even though it got decent reviews.
Kinda hope someone comes in and saves them. |

Fucking hell. The prototype games were an absolute blast, if not terribly deep in the gameplay department. Would kill for an avengers game made by those folks.

A couple of news regarding the Gears of War prequel called "Gears of War Judgement" with the first being no Kinect controls and the other being a rumored February 2013 release date.
According to the series creator Cliff Bleszinski, the upcoming Gears of War Judgment will not be using Kinect controls unlike the previous Gears of War 3 game. While he likes the technology and gameplay possibilities the Kinect can provide, he stated it won't fit well with what they are trying to do for the prequel. The decision may have been related to earlier plans for a Kinect-designed Gears of War game being canceled earlier in the year by Epic Games. Gears of War 3's Kinect controls also could have played a factor since the game wasn't built from the ground up for Kinect and instead added as a quick optional control scheme. Quote:

The Xbox 360 ban won't be occurring this year and possibly never after the International Trade Commission issued a remand (change of the original court's decision) which states the future of the Xbox 360 now rests in a new lawsuit being heard in Seattle.
Microsoft is counter-suing both Motorola and Google in Seattle over the original court decision which suggested a ban to be made. According to the changes made by the ITC, If Motorola and Microsoft agree to settle in the second case or Microsoft wins which both are currently expected, it would void the ban from the original court decision.

Electronic Arts thinks gaming will go entirely digital in the near future so they announce they are in the process of planning to do the same with all EA developed and published games to only have digital releases once they are ready.
While it wasn't specifically stated, its assumed the games would only be available on Origin or a select number of EA approved digital providers. EA could also have been influenced by a recent report from the NPD which stated roughly a third of all gamers now only purchase digital copies of games while the overall spending in the retail market has declined so far since the same period last year. Quote:

Google and a new company involving former people at IGN, Microsoft's Xbox division, and a few others are currently rumored to be working on a new console called Ouya.
The console is rumored to cost $99 and would be Android-based in design. Also rumored is the games will be free to play while the console itself can be legally "hacked" in a sense of every console coming with its own dev kit. Consumers are being encouraged to develop and publish their own games for the service. Quote:

But yeah, the teasing is probably their primary source of revenue. Quote:
All you had to do was read the article you posted a link to (This news was up on websites like three weeks ago, I merely verified that it hadn't changed) to know that. |
While only 1 can actually buy it, Molyneux did state there is the possibility people will pool their money which means the item can be shared somehow. It would also imply that multiple people would be willing to pay a good amount to get the item (either have the $50,000 outright or having others help).
The money thing was a mistake since I took the news from another source that briefly stated the article but got the money wrong. The Eurogamer link was quickly taken from that article for more details (http://www.screwattack.com/news/pete...e-defending-it). Didn't have time to fully read the article because for the past year or so, I've been splitting time between my place and at the grandparents to help take care of them.

The next Batman game from Warner Bros and Rocksteady Studio is rumored to be a prequel to the current Arkham storyline with its basis coming from Btaman's time period during the "Silver Age" of comics.
According to the source at Variety, the game could possibly contain a lot more playable characters besides Batman with the timeline being rumored to occur during the 1950s and the lead up to the creation of the Justice League of America. The story itself might be primarily focused on the origins and antics of the first Joker but other villains are a strong possibility to be included. The rumor also appears to be done as part of a recent Time Warner mandate to expand DC Comics characters into multiple mediums at the same time while teaming up due to the recent success of the Avengers and other Marvel properties. http://www.screwattack.com/sites/def...er_2223886.jpg http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...urn-silver-age http://www.giantbomb.com/news/rockst...lver-age/4262/ http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118056432 __________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) A recently discovered patent originally submitted in late 2010 suggests Microsoft could be considering upgradable components as a potential feature for the next Xbox console. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...le-components/ 2) Update to the Android console called "Ouya" as it has passed $3 million in donations on Kickstarter with the current surplus generated to be used on potentially expanding the kickback rewards for people who donate. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...stretch-goals/ http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/0...tarter-funded/ 3) EA is currently rumored to be replacing John Riccitiello, current CEO, with Peter Moore, boss of EA Sports, as the new CEO of the company soon due to the company's plummeting stock value by over 50% since last year. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=181075 http://www.vg247.com/2012/07/11/rumo...tiello-as-ceo/ |

Epic Games revealed during this year's Comic-Con the first game to use the upcoming Unreal 4 Engine will be a game called "Fortnite" and has a planned release on PC in 2013.
The game is influenced a bit by Minecraft and Cliff Bleszinski, creator of the Gears of War series, is the lead design director for the game. Other details include gameplay being a co-op sandbox style game which appears to mix the building and defending aspect of Minecraft with the survival aspect from Left 4 Dead series and Call of Duty's Zombie modes.

Epic Games reveals some new details regarding the upcoming Gears of War: Judgement game for the Xbox 360 with one being the debut of a brand new game mode and the other being an actual release date.
The new game mode is called "Overrun" and is an online class-based multiplayer mode. The mode pits two teams with one controlling the COG who have to defend certain areas and the Locust who have to destroy those areas with maps based on the single player campaign. Each map is divided into 3 sections which open up once a current object is reached by either the Locust or COG team with the COGs getting the benefit of extra fortifications and help as the round goes on. The Locust side do get access to "Tier 2" characters once enough points are earned which are called "Corpsers" who are extra over-powered characters to the point of almost ensuring victory once they are unlocked. The other detail revealed by Epic Games is the official release date will be in March 2013 which confirms earlier rumors of the game arriving before the end of the fiscal year for both Epic Games and Microsoft. No actual release date was announced but it is expected to be revealed later this year. http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/231319-g1.jpg http://www.destructoid.com/sdcc-more...e-231319.phtml http://www.giantbomb.com/news/gears-...13-crowd/4269/ _______________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) According to Forbes, League of Legends was the most played MMO game of 2011 with roughly 1.3 billion hours logged in by players with Minecraft, World of Warcraft, and Diablo III in the Top 5. http://www.screwattack.com/news/leag...played-pc-game http://www.forbes.com/sites/johngaud...-in-the-world/ 2) Some new details from Comic-Com for the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls game include the game being more story-based than gameplay-based similar to Heavy Rain and a new character called a ghost named Aiden who can posses people while providing special powers to the main character http://www.screwattack.com/news/beyo...omic-con-panel http://www.destructoid.com/sdcc-beyo...s-231271.phtml 3) According to Bioware, the free-to-play remake of Ultima IV called "Ultima Forever" is not an MMO like rumors have suggested but instead a classic RPG game which borrows some MMO elements. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/07...is-not-an-mmo/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/...xt-online-rpg/ |

While both Sony and Playdead have stated multiple times in the past why Limbo was declined for PSN, Sony themselves announce the official reason was due to the company wanting sole ownership of the property instead of developers Playdead.
Playdead offered the game first to Sony which would have included timed exclusive status but talks broke down after Sony made some demands to buy out the rights to the property to become the sole owners. Sony also refused to supply any funds to help market the game if they did not gain rights to the property. Quote:
Limbo ended up selling over half a million copies, third best XBLA game of 2010, and the number one selling game during the Summer of Arcade promotion. The PSN version ended up arriving about a year later in the US. http://www.screwattack.com/sites/def...r_2264481.jpeg http://www.screwattack.com/news/sony...bo-exclusivity http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ted-ip-rights/ _______________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) The Android-based Ouya console Kickstarter fund has reached over $5 million so far with the company now beginning to look at non-kickstarter investors and manufactures to prepare for mass production of the console. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...arter-funding/ 2) EA accidentally leaks the announcement of Battlefield 4 on Origin before it was quickly removed which would have granted those who pre-ordered the digital deluxe Limited Edition of Medal of Honor: Warfighter access to a Battlefield 4 beta on Origin at a later date. http://www.screwattack.com/news/batt...appears-origin http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/new...gin-store.html 3) Pre-order bonuses for the upcoming Need for Speed Most Wanted reboot were revealed by EA which include anyone who pre-orders from select retailers get automatically bumped to the Limited Edition and early access to 3 special cars with each car having a unique in-game advantage. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...uses-revealed/ |
