Most interesting of all, Crytek UK (formerly Free Radical Design) is building TimeSplitters 4 with CryEngine 3 for the next line of consoles. "Crytek is using Microsoft's DirectX 11 as the current basis for next-generation development," writes VideoGamer. Guess that's why TS4 has been such a no-show?
TS4!!!!!!!!!

Oh, something about a new XBox too. "Neat" I guess.

Here's hoping this coming generation addresses hardware failure rates. Blowing dust of a cartridge is a minor inconvenience. Having to send in a console for repair and either deal with atrocious customer service or pay out the ass for shipping/cost of the fix is ridiculous.

The MS console is probably going to be rushed out to compete with Nintendo and beat Sony. Sega reckon the U will be out by spring/summer next year and this new XBox will probably be Winter 2012.

I don't believe Crytek's supposed "release" for Wii U. And it's Microsoft, I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened.

With all the news of Sony probably not going all out on a PS4 like they did with the PS3, I wouldn't be surprised if MS went all out on their next console since they still have a huge chunk of the original $18 billion they set aside for the Xbox brand when they first announced the original Xbox.

Sony can't do the same since they can't keep tossing around money while their divisions keep declining profits-wise and already decided to do another "eating" the losses this time with Vita to compete with Nintendo and Apple.

If Crytek are right about already have a working version of the engine for the Wii U and a previous poll done by Free Radical while ago showed there was some serious interest on putting a TS4 version on a Nintendo console (Wii at the time).

There's a rumor that TS4 is being developed for the next gen speficially, Microsoft's new system, and probably PS4.

I think Sony can afford to wait until 2013 for the PS4. This time they just need to be sure they've got a decent launch lineup with some good exclusives. Gimme a new MAG, Resistance and LBP at launch and I'm sold

Bungie launches their Bungie App today and also stated it was the start of a bigger project as the studio continues its transfer away from the Halo series with Microsoft and 343 Studios to their new project with Activision.

Even though neither Bungie nor Activision revealed anything about the current project called Destiny at E3, Bungie did confirm the game is still on schedule and in development.

Bungie's app as of now only keeps track of stats in Halo Reach but the studio revealed it will be expanded more over time and is part of their current attempt to expand into the mobile market for both games and apps. Bungie plans to treat their new app the same as they do with their Bungie.Net website with constant news, updates, and special stuff every once in a while.

Bungie's other current project called Bungie Aerospace is expected to be revealed in detail during this year's Bungie Day festival during June 23 to July 7.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Quick News Round-Up:

1) EA reveals it will be opening its own retail stores for their EA Sports games following Apple, Microsoft, and others who have opened up their own dedicated stores.

2) THQ shuts down HomeFront's developer Kaos Studios as part of their recent layoff and reorganization plans. THQ is moving the series to their THQ Montreal studio after also closing down their THQ UK studio.

3) Valve expands the Steam store to include Free-To-Play games with five titles set to launch when the newest addition to the store is ready. The five games are Spiral Knights from Sega, Champions Online from Cryptic, Global Agenda from Hi-Rez Studio, Forsaken World from Perfect World, and Alliance of Valiant Arms from NHN.

Sony could be in huge trouble with the Japanese government and possibly the US government/FBI after the Japanese report showed Sony knew even earlier than originally revealed that their databases were hacked and information was stolen.

Sony's original stance was they had no clue when their servers had been hacked and if any information was compromised.

Sony even considered just ignoring telling PSN users their email and passwords were taken if the attack didn't also go after the actual credit card and other sensitive personal info on the servers.

Quote:
The report, submitted to the Japanese government and obtained under a freedom of information request, says that SCE was able to confirm internally on April 25 (American time) that a "fairly large amount of data" had been exposed to hackers. A press release issued the next day, however, only stated that Sony could not "rule out the possibility" that personal information had been compromised.

It's also claimed that PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai gave incorrect information in a statement issued on May 1, in which he said Sony didn't learn about the extent of the attack until April 26 (American time), a full day later than the company confirmed matters internally.

The official document also says that Sony delayed informing the public of the extent of the breach so as not to "bewilder" its customers, a spokesperson saying "We hadn't figured out (at that time) what kind of data had been leaked. If only passwords and IDs (were breached), they cannot be considered personal information, and so we didn't want to bewilder our customers."

In a move that might have fueled the potential EA-Valve digital distribution war, Crysis 2 and other recent games published or developed by EA were taken off of Steam today.

This move contradicts EA earlier statements saying they would not be removing their games from Steam but work as a partnership of sorts along with their own Origin service.

EA also later updated reports of the removal by trying to blame Valve for the sudden removal of the games but EA also showed they have no intention of reuploading the games at the moment.

Quote:
"It’s unfortunate that Steam has removed Crysis 2 from their service. This was not an EA decision or the result of any action by EA.

Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service – many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam.

Crysis 2 continues to be available on several other download services including GameStop, Amazon, Origin.com and more."
Older games published by EA such as Need For Speed and Crysis 1 are still on Steam but the future of those games could be in doubt should EA decided on a complete withdrawal from Steam.

Valve and Crytek haven't responded to the removal but it is assumed Crytek's games were removed without their knowledge or permission.

Sucks for them. I won't even touch EA's shitty download service. Honestly, I pretty much only buy through Steam.

What about games that have been purchased already, though? Can you not redownload them?

If you bought the game and/or DLC before it was taken down then like any other digital distribution service, it is still re-downloadable.

The stuff itself is still on Steam's servers but they can't activate the links for new buyers similar to when a company closes down and Steam no longer is allowed to sell the game for legal reasons.

Any future patches or DLC for the games wouldn't be downloadable using Steam though.

I always install my games before I even play them once. Right now, I have MvC3, Duke Nukem and, I think, Portal 2 on there.

A Spanish retailer website reveals Devil May Cry series from the PS2 is preparing to be joining the recent wave of PS2/PSP games remade as HD Remakes or Collection sets.

The HD set is being done as the 10th year anniversary of the series and will include the first 3 games in the series with only updated graphics being confirmed.

No bonuses or gameplay changes are expected to be done similar to all the other HD remakes and collections with the exception of the Metal Gear Solid set.

Based on the source, the set should arrive this November and as of now only for the PS3 but neither the source no Capcom confirmed if it indeed is an exclusive or if the Xbox 360 will get the set at a later date.


http://kotaku.com/5812491/devil-may-...hd-re+releases

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Bioware becomes the newest gaming company to get hacked as an attack on their serves resulted in around 18,000 accounts info being stolen. The attack occurred on Bioware's community server for their Neverwinter Nights forum.

2) After firing their external Public Relations firm and denying they are not blacklisting reviewers who give bad scores to Duke Nukem Forever, Eurogamer has confirmed 2K Studios indeed is blacklisting companies with themselves being on the list.

3) Microsoft officially releases the Kinect SDK or dev kits for sale to capitalize on the "hacking" stuff being done by people using the non-gaming features of Kinect. The only catch is as of now the kits are not for commercial usage but Microsoft is planning on removing the restriction in the near future.

I don't think 360 will get lucky on this one. DMC1-3 were PS exclusives, it wouldn't be much to HD-up those PS button icons. Making 360 button icons for the re-releases seems unlikely, especially since Capcom's been penny pinching lately. It's a good thought, though.

A few of the planned or already released HD remakes/sets have been placed on brands the originals were not done on.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath got only a PS3 release even though it was on the Xbox original before and the Metal Gear Solid set including the Xbox 360 when the originals were PS2 exclusive.

The biggest difference though is those games are expected to have some changes while most of the HD remakes are just quickly made upscale games like the God of War PSP set for PS3 or the Tomb Raider set.

Speaking of HD collections. The reason MGS1 isn't on the MGS HD collection is because it'll take too much work to bring it to up to the standard of the other games graphically and they'd have to change details to make sense with the rest of the series. So, it's too much work, apparantly.

People purchase PS1 games on PSN all the time and even 80's arcade games on 360. Konami are just being stubborn, I'm sure barely anyone would complain if the game was there in it's original (or Twin Snakes) form along with the 3 other games.

I was thinking they could use Twin Snakes since it still looks good. Then again there's Nintendo references in there, could be a problem.

I always meant to buy Twin Snakes and I never did. Would have been good to get it on the collections.
Surely removing an object from a games code, to remove the Nntendo stuff, wouldn't be that big a problem time and money wise, right?

It's £25 from CeX. Plus, I need a new GC controller and maybe a memory card if I can't find my other 2. So it'll come to, maybe, about £40.

I'll probably get round to it eventually.

Nintendo confirms Zelda will not be getting a collection set to celebrate its 25th anniversary. They are still planning on celebrating the anniversary year long with other stuff but no actual collection set will be made.

Yes, as insane as that may sound, while the idea of throwing a bunch of old Zelda games on a Wii disc and selling them to rabid fans seems completely logical, both Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto cock-blocked the proposal.

Why? Because they did it for Mario last year, and didn't want to do the same thing two years in a row. Re-releasing Ocarina of Time for money on the 3DS probably played a part as well.

I was actually looking more forward to this being done than the Mario one once Nintendo hinted they wanted to do a special set for Zelda's anniversary. That one and Skyward Swords were going to be the main titles I wanted to pick up this Fall.
