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:
THQ’s new company president, Jason Rubin, made the bold decision. ”When I looked at the Enter the Dominatrix expansion in production at Volition, I was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise,” he said. ”I asked the team what it could achieve given more time, more resources, and a broader scope for the project. We all agreed we wanted to play that game. When it comes to Saints Row, it’s clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top, and that’s why Enter the Dominatrix will now be incorporated into a vastly expanded, full-fledged sequel, scheduled for calendar 2013.”
In a bit of irony, a week ago the new president of THQ stated he favors a more serious tone for the next Saints Row game while dropping all support for non-AAA type games as the best way to quickly fix the company's financial problems.

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:
Yerli explained that he would love to make another TimeSplitters game, however publishers just aren’t interested in picking the franchise up. ”I wish we would develop it. We can’t develop it the way Free Radical had started it before we acquired them,” he said.

“When we looked at it – and again, I love TimeSplitters, I’m a huge TimeSplitters fan particularly of the multiplayer part. I love the idea, I love the brand, I love everything – but the publishers don’t. That’s reality. And I don’t want to spend our own money on the project in a retail business.”

”So let me say it this way: I love the picture of Timesplitters running on GFACE. So if we get enough fans, being loud enough…”
While EA is currently the main publisher for Crytek games, as of now they have refused any funding and support for TimeSplitters 4 with Free Radical's financial problems as the potential main reason.

It was revealed during today's Nintendo Direct Broadcast that Namco Bandai will be developing the next Super Smash Bros. game, previously announced for Wii U and 3DS. Series creator Masahiro Sakurai will still be heading up the project, which is normally developed by his HAL Laboratory team.

Buh? This should be interesting.

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.

Last week we told you Namco Bandai was working on a Dragon Ball Z game for Kinect. It basically sees you playing as one of 50 characters going through the storyline where you can perform hundreds of moves like the infamous Kamehameha. I got a chance to play the game after the announcement and immediately felt stupid for getting even remotely excited for it.

I want to give Namco the benefit of the doubt as this was an early build of the game and the area holding the demo wasn't that well lit. Still, my moves weren't being detected by the Kinect half the time and it's basically a stationary fighting game. You can't actually move your fighter around, instead you're just punching and kicking away. The only time you do move is when an attack pushes you back or if you perform some sort of special move.

You're just furiously punching away in front of yourself, much to the same degree as a person clawing their way out of a coffin would after being buried alive. There isn't even voice recognition. How can you make a Dragon Ball Z game like this and not let people scream their heads off?!

So that's Dragon Ball Z For Kinect in a horrible, rotten, nutshell. Oh, there's this whole thing with scanning QR codes for unlocking characters too. You know, because people LOVE scanning QR codes. We'll have video of me attempting to play going up later where I'm pretty positive you can see the moment my soul just dies.

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:
"I think, ultimately, those microtransactions will be in every game, but the game itself or the access to the game will be free. Ultimately, my goal is... I measure our business in millions of people have bought our game. Maybe when I'm retired, as this industry progresses, hundreds of millions are playing the games. Zero bought it. Hundreds of millions are playing. We're getting 5 cents, 6 cents ARPU [average revenue per user] a day out of these people. The great majority will never pay us a penny which is perfectly fine with us, but they add to the eco-system and the people who do pay money—the whales as they are affectionately referred to—to use a Las Vegas term, love it because to be number one of a game that like 55 million people playing is a big deal."
Quote:
"That's the point. If the business model... what do you do? It may well be that there will be games that survive and they are the $60 games, but I believe that the real growth is bringing billions of people into the industry and calling them gamers. Hardcore gamers won't like to hear this. They like to circle the wagons around what they believe is something they feel they have helped build—and rightly so. But we have seen, whether it was with the Wii getting mom off the couch to do Wii Sports or whether it was, more recently EA Sports Active, where we get females who love to work out, all the things that social gaming did—Rock Band did it, Guitar Hero did it—all of the things that elevated it from being a dark art of teenage boys usually sequestered in the bedroom—that it was testosterone-filled content that everybody railed against—to where everybody is a gamer...if you can move your index finger and swipe it this way, your'e a gamer. And that has got to be the way it goes."

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:
“We’re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience… Far Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.”

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:
The playback program is different, as well as the sound effects added; reverb and 5.1 are examples of this. The comrpression rate, as well as the sound rate, is different today. Are you playing games on the same TV you used 16 years ago? What about your speakers? Headphones? They are all the same as 16 years ago? I wonder if it will sound like the same voice as 16 years ago, even with that data..
Also, you are assuming the voice actors themselves can reproduce the voice the recorded 16 years ago? Many voice actors decline work because their voice has changed since the original role, some have even retired. Sometimes they won't accept, even if we ask.

Some might say "just pay them to reuse the voice data".

But, often the voice actors decline this, or their agency declines.
Even when Namco is able to reuse the same exact voice sampling or phrases such as Brian's laugh from Tekken 3 for the upcoming Tekken game, people still complained the voices sound too different.

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.

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.

Quote:
Seeking Alpha analyst Jeff Borack believes that Blizzard could be forced to disclose information regarding Titan to drum up excitement, and purchasers, for Activision’s stock. So far, the MMO giant has remained tight lipped about the game, only offering a tentative Q4 2013 release window.

Titan is set to play a key role in Activision’s long-term share value, according to Borack, with Blizzard pouring tens of millions of dollars into R&D every year to develop the game. Titan has the ability to quickly eclipse World of Warcraft, just by carrying the Blizzard name, making it a lucrative asset to own.
An official press release revealing the debut of Titan is expected to occur in the near future if the rumors end up being true.

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.

Quote:
“Like I said, I know there’s going to be pressure on us to do another Castlevania game, but I don’t want to rise to that pressure. I want to do something else. I love Contra. I’d love to do Contra. At Mercury Steam we’ve got an original idea that I think is really awesome. We’d love to bring that idea to market and I’m hoping that the success of Lords of Shadow 2 will allow us to do that.”

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:
”We are not supporting Kinect in Gears Judgment,” he said in a recent interview with Games TM. ”I like Kinect, I’ve been a fan of it, but I don’t think it has been fully realized as far as the potential of the device. Dance Central 3 looks great and all, but I’m curious how the ‘core’ games will work out.”
A rumor from CVG states the game is currently on track for a possible February 2013 release date. No exact date hasn't been finalized yet but most likely be released before the fiscal year ends for both Epic Games and Microsoft who's publishing the game.

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.

Quote:
According to Florian Mueller, the initial recommendation for a ban by Administrative Law Judge David Shaw is being altered by the ITC with a “remand”—basically, a mandatory change of the judge’s original ruling:

This remand causes substantial delay, and time is not on Google’s side: in mid-November, less than five months from now, Microsoft’s FRAND enforcement lawsuit against Motorola will go to trial in Seattle. The outcome of that litigation is going to be a license agreement on terms set by the court. Once Microsoft is licensed, there is no more scope of import bans.

Since one court case directly affects the other, the patent violation cited by Google/Motorola would be swept under the rug if Microsoft won their Seattle case ...

For their part, Motorola must’ve sensed that something like this would happen, as they already approached Microsoft about reaching a settlement. Microsoft’s legal team apparently smelled blood, utterly rejecting Motorola Mobility’s terms.

Since there will now have to be a new ALJ determination, which may easily take several months, followed by a Commission review and, potentially, a 60-day Presidential review before any import ban can enter into force, it’s practically impossible that Google can actually get an ITC import ban before the Seattle lawsuit takes care of the standard-essential patents at issue in this investigation (all of the asserted patents with only one exception).

Even with respect to the non-standard-essential patent (which Microsoft is presumably able to work around), the remand means that there won’t be a U.S. import ban on the Xbox in 2012, including the extremely important Christmas Selling Season.
