4) Activision Blizzard announces they have split away from majority owner Vivendi Entertainment with the majority of Vivendi's shares purchased to the cost of around $8.2 billion. The move will leave Activision with around $3 billion left in reserves but no longer have to worry about any debts done by Vivendi using their name.

Is that Verge report even considering the fact that the Android account owners might already have games on their account?

That may be true, but it misses the point (granted, Smelly Meatball's summary sucks and fails to capture the heart of the matter). This is about the purchase of games designed for the Ooooooooooo-yeah! This was a selling point to consumers and to developers, and has thus far turned out not to pan out. In fact, the fact that people are just playing their already-purchased Android titles might make things worse.

A good chunk of this article is based on the concept of the Ouya's free version model, and how most users have decided to stick with the free versions rather than upgrading to paid versions.

Fez II has been cancelled according to tweets sent by Polytron studio and confirmed by Phil Fish.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>It's with a heavy heart that we announce that FEZ II has been cancelled and is no longer in development. We apologize for the disappointment</p>&mdash; Polytron (@Polytron) <a href="https://twitter.com/Polytron/statuses/361188665709436928">July 27, 2013</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Fish also revealed on Twitter he's leaving the video game industry as a developer.

Hooray!

It's a good thing that the one man development powerhouse Polytron, consisting of Phil Fish, confirmed the cancellation or we might just think it was Phil Fish up to his old tricks.

I thought "throwing a tantrum" was Fish up to his old tricks.

In any event, it probably needed clarification. I've seen people who think that Polytron pulled the plug on Blowfish due to his comments being too offensive, so there is some confusion and people might have been waiting for polyconfirmatron.

Fish should just drink all of that Polyjuice and allow Polytron to have full control over his body to avoid further Polytical issues.

He is quite polymic.

Today's News:
1) According to Activision Blizzard, World of Warcraft managed to drop by around 600,000 subscribers since the last fiscal quarter (April-June). The game currently has around 7.7 million subscribers left.

2) The director for Kingdom Hearts 3 states the game will not be the end of the series and instead will go in a new storyline direction for future games.

3) Based on recent domain purchases by Disney (24 in total), "Star Wars Attack Squadron" could end up as one of the next Star Wars games made by EA in the near future.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...red-by-disney/

7.7 million x $15/mo. = still a shit load of revenue.

A company that big loses sight on something like that. If they're not a worldwide phenomenon they're probably thinking they're failing. I know a few companies would wish for numbers like that.

They're a public traded company beholden to shareholders. A reduction in their userbase represents a problem for them, regardless of how much money they're still making. They haven't "lost sight" on anything.

Today's News:
1) Based on a retailer leak, Capcom is expected to be releasing a "Capcom Essentials" set for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on August 10. The set would include Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 6, and Mega Man 10.

Extra) Sony and Panasonic announce they are currently working on a new optical disc format which would hold 300 GB worth of data per disc and be Blu-Ray's successor. Based on current plans, this format is expected to be unveiled by late 2015.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/sony...new-technology
http://panasonic.co.jp/corp/news/off...n130729-4.html

The new Mortal Kombat game ties in only in a cross-marketing way, not in narrative. Here's the show and here's game sort of thing. They would still be two separate universes.

While my own thoughts on MK are well documented, I've been eager for the tenth game a long time. There's some mythology connotations there.

Fucking timing!

4) Bethesda announces Wolfenstein: The New Order has been delayed from its original December 2013 release to now a TBA 2014 release date. The official reason was due to Bethesda didn't want the project rushed in order to meet the deadline date.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...layed-to-2014/

It's always kind of annoying when people think a company will reveal a new game at Gamescom and a bunch of Americans (but not all, obviously.) say they wont, purely because the show isn't in America. They do the same for magazines, too. "This new info must be fake because the source is a foreign magazine!" or "They wont reveal anything new because Gamescom is a German show!".
It doesn't matter how many times companies show new things to non-US magazines or debut things at non-US shows, every year a bunch of Americans say the same thing.

YES MORE MGR

I read Nintendo is a possible buyer for ATLUS due to them loaning them money and striking a bunch of deals with them in the recent past.

Eh.

Are people really that thick?

Wait, of course they are, never mind.

Some guy on a GTA forum thinks GTA is an American made series because R* HQ is in New York.
It doesn't matter the series was created in Scotland or that every game in the series was developed in Scotland. R* HQ is in New York, so it's American.
I think it's because he likes the games so he wants to be able to say his country made them.
Sort of like when the US public voted Jesus Christ as the greatest ever American.

And yet, we mock the Mormons for believing the Garden of Eden was in Missouri or whatever.

Although, to be fair, 'Murrrrrica. Fuck yeah!

Would hate Nintendo to own Atlus, they'd be much better off somewhere they can make multi platform games.

Catherine 4 Smash Bros!

No, but, really, there are lots of companies going for ATLUS. SEGA being one of them. I think I read Namco too. So it could be a multiplatform company.

Unless you own Nintendo consoles, though. You wouldn't mind.

Today's News:
1) Some Ubisoft news as the company announces the Wii U version of Splinter Cell Blacklist will not have offline co-op unlike other versions of the game, they belief innovation will suffer the most from the rising cost of game development, and they have a rough idea of how the overall Assassin's Creed storyline will eventually end.

Now all we have to do is wait for PC fanboys to call whatever MS does with this a "gimmick" because, y'know, Oculus Rift is a genuine step forward in gaming because it's a PC thing but the exact same thing on a console would just be a stupid, childish gimmick.

Stupid regardless.

Hypocrisy? From fanboys? Well, now I've seen everything.

Microsoft's next Xbox 360 update is confirmed to do away with funny money:

http://news.xbox.com/2013/08/xbox-one-local-currency

Honestly, I never cared that much because how hard is it to understand that 80 MSP equals a dollar and work from there? However, a lot of people want this, so cool.

Does this mean current points will be converted to a real cash level? Same exact exchange rate and any way to cash out?

That's what they're saying, though in slightly weaselly terms.

Pretty silly since you can already buy games with money instead of points. Points were easier for kids/parents.

Like KK said it wasn't rocket science but people complained for years and here we are.

Personally, I think it may help in that people will how cheap most of XBL actually is.

Only real problem I have is that Bing Rewards gives me microsoft points for using Bing for searches and stuff. Hope it can continue with just cash equivalents.

I don't see why not. Reward programs like that are essentially forms of discount anyway.

Well then it wouldn't be fucking Contra then, would it?

They make a game that couldn't be any more Contra, and refuse to call it Contra. Now they're making Call of Duty, and calling it Contra. I don't even

Hard Corps will be the last true Contra game, I can stick with that.

Way to get my hopes up, Konami :'(

Who cares? Every game should be Call of Duty.

Especially Call of Duty.

Games for Windows Live is being shut down on July 1st 2014. What this means is that any games using it will cease to work past that date, unless the developers patch it out (like they have with the Bioshock games and Batman games, which will now fully be Steamworks titles).

For me, they need to please patch it out of Fallout 3 and Dark Souls... but I'm not holding my breath.

GFWL was a monster and deserves to die.

Jesus Christ. Fuck those pricks.

New Command & Conquer shown off, very few details other than a cringeworthy scripted eSports segment that EA put on stage where someone actually said audibly "Gee Gee".

Doubt Ric Flair is in it though.

Allegedly in-game UFC footage. I never trust EA with these things though.

http://i.minus.com/i6dAXoEgB0ubY.gif

Keep in mind they did just hire that guy from Valve, and it seems unlikely they're abandoning the market entirely.

that being said, the Batman games were patched WOOOO! I have no games to worry about!

Oh yeah, with AOE2HD going Steamworks, it just seems that any MS published games in the future will all go down this route.

Going to have to go through my STeam backlog, see what uses GFWL and clear them out first, just in case patches aren't forthcoming.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only one I have is AA. I'll have to check, though.

Is there a quick way to check? I don't want to check each game in my library manually.

Good on EA for the return policy.

I don't think there is, but I've never really cared much. I tend to avoid games that require a second DRM platform. It's actually kind of dumb enough that people accept Steam....But that's another story.

Have a look at this list and see what games you own: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...93_Live_titles

Forgot about GTA4.

Hey, I have a total of three games. AA, Red Faction Guerrero, and World of Good.

I have played one of those games, so I guess I'd best get to the rest.

Fallout and Dark Souls for me too.

Why is he on a space hopper and why does this seem to annoy him?

The Elder Scrolls Online is justifying its 15 dollar monthly fee in part by "professional customer support."

Well, fuck, I'm sold.

They should just charge 15 a month without making us pay 60 for the game itself. Most people are done with an online RPG within a month or two so we'd save 30 bucks. I really hope Guild Wars 2's model becomes the standard though.

Game companies love to double dip if we let them. That's why we have the war on used games.

TESO will almost certainly go F2P eventually, and that's not a bad thing. It's just the way the market works.

Glad they're going all out for Mirrors Edge 2. Love DICE.

Quick question. I'm going to be buying the transfer cable for my 360, today and one of the cables comes with software and another one doesn't. Do I need the software or is that for someone who isn't hooked to the internet?
