Yesterday Valve announced a new plan called "Steam Greenlight" to bring more indie titles to Steam.
Similar in a way to Xbox Live's Indie process, the community will be allowed to vote and approve which smaller indie focused games will become paid titles with the first batch expected to be ready by August when the plan is implemented. Quote:

I'll be damned, a Deus Ex: Human Revolution movie. But will it be a big screen release, or direct to DVD?
I wonder if Rockstar did the same thing to their crew like Schilling did to his when he moved. |

Most people are bitching about it not being an FPS. I don't think it looks spectacular or anything, but I like the fact that it's not "Army/war FPS game #562". |

People sounded pretty positive over on Destructoid. But come on, it's a cheap downloadable title that let's you be that non-Ziggler DOLPH in an isometric shooter. What's not to like?

I haven't checked out Destructoid, I was only going by the YouTube comments. Saying that, I remember now that YouTube comments are pretty much null and void on everything.

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/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://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/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/ |

The verbal feud between Valve and Electronic Arts continued as Valve officially responded to earlier claims by EA of Steam sales being dangerous to the strength of gaming properties. EA accused Valve of "cheapening" those properties as a result and not in terms of savings to consumers. In a bit of irony, EA would shortly hold their own mega sale on Origin which "cheapened" a lot of their own games.
Valve's Business Development boss, Jason Holtman, stated recently the annual Summer sales and other big sales done by Steam do not "cannibalize" overall sales but instead help those same games succeed a lot more. He also mentioned had Valve ever felt these sales were doing more harm than good to these games and partner companies, they would have ended the mega sales long ago. Quote:

Developers of Limbo, Playdead, confirm Sony's story for rejecting having Limbo be exclusive to PSN was indeed true but don't believe the idea of had they sold the IP, Sony would have guaranteed a lot of support towards the studio.
Recently, Sony stated the talks broke down because they wanted sole ownership of the IP rights which Playdead rejected and lead to them going to Microsoft. Playdead's CEO Dino Patti stated controlling the rights to an IP is one of the greatest strengths a development studio has over a publisher. He also felt IPs benefit the most when the rights stay with the creators and not when an outside company or publisher controls them. Quote:

Yeah, it's just creepy as shit, it's based off some meme.
Apparently some guys on one forum created a thread where they photoshopped old photos and added fake paranormal stuff to them, then went over to supernatural forums and tried to pass them off as real. |

The first official game to use the Unreal 4 Engine might require an "always-on" internet connection as DRM security according to Epic Games who hinted this is an option they are considering right now.
The justification if such DRM were to be used is due to the game being built predominately for online multiplayer modes even though it offers a single player campaign as well. According to the game's producer, Tanya Jessen, the DRM would be seen as an actual improvement to the game than not having any at all. Quote:
