Yeah, GB and Destructoid are the only blogs I follow because they're pretty damn entertaining in how they publish their news. Joystiq too at a much lesser extent.

Much harder?

Wasn't the first one really hard? Like not fun super meat boy hard, but this game is cheap as fuck hard?

Not quite sure why the community manager of a developer riding off a franchise from a better developer is whining about creativity...

The reason given was DICE wants to be completely focused on Battlefield 3 which was officially revealed today. First trailer for the game won't be released until Friday.

DICE did confirm that the game's art style is similar to Bad Company 2 and Vietnam DLC pack with new animations and improved environment destruction from the new "Frostbite" engine.

Battlefield 3 is set for a TBA release date on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. If the previous games is any indication, preference will be given to the console versions of the game.

The worst game of 2010 more than doubling one of the year's most beautiful, original, and well-crafted titles just demonstrates to me how screwed up the market truly is. We complain about sequels and rehashes, we whine about publishers not putting out original content, and then this happens, and we realize it's nobody's fault but ours.

So yeah, enjoy your next Guitar Hero or Call of Duty, folks. You've f*cking earned it.

Did Sega bother to advertise the game as much as Kane & Lynch was advertised?

Sega's more riskier games haven't been advertised well this generation which makes Sega upset and they start to blame someone (ex. Wii for Madworld). Then again, Sega bought a lot of "niche" quality developers so its not a surprise why they don't have any mega sales.

For the PS3 question, that is more of Sony's fault since they didn't design PSN architecture as well as Xbox Live and while MS mostly takes care of everything on Live, Sony expects developers to handle stuff on PSN. They also charge by the bandwidth for almost anything put on PSN as well.

It turns out the fervor surrounding the idea had intensified so much that news of a Nintendo/Capcom fighter had reached none other than Nintendo President Satoru Iwata.

"At the Germany Games Convention I was asked about [Nintendo vs. Capcom]," Ono told me. "I mentioned it was an interesting idea that somehow transmogrified on the Internet into me saying I was going to do it! I have no plans to do it."

Despite not actually working on it, and wanting to be clear that he wasn't, Ono did reiterate that the project certainly sounded like it'd be fun... an interesting challenge to make the worlds of Capcom and Nintendo operate together. But could we see Nintendo vs. Capcom? Is that even a realistic idea? "I certainly don't think anything is impossible, though not terribly likely is probably a way to phrase it," Ono said.

And what about that encounter with Iwata? "I had to go to Nintendo President Iwata-san and actually apologize that I let things get out of hand," Ono told us laughing, perhaps slightly embarassed by the entire situation. "But maybe this whole conversation could be the start of something like that… or maybe it ends with me in the dog house with Iwata-san. Time will tell where [this is] going to go."

People still do ask for it."

"I'm basically running into the same sort of hurdles I ran into with Street Fighter IV, so if I can show there's enough interest, maybe something will happen."
