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:
"For many stores, there is a team that reviews entries and decides what gets past the gates," says Valve. "We're approaching this from a different angle: The community should be deciding what gets released. After all, it's the community that will ultimately be the ones deciding which release they spend their money on."
Unlike certain restrictions Microsoft places on their own Indie process, Valve will not reject titles if they are being developed for other platforms but do have the request of the title be Windows PC compatible and a valid Steam account be made for the service.

Quote:
The new hub is targeted at indie developers looking to bring their titles to the platform. Developers can post both in-progress and final builds to let Steam users playtest them, and ultimately vote on whether or not those games will be launched via Steam. There won't be a specific vote threshold. Rather, success will be tallied based on "relative interest" compared with other Greenlight titles.

Games submitted must at least run on a Windows PC, but other platforms may be developed for simultaneously. Interested developers need a valid and non-limited Steam account. You'll need to fill out a submission form and include at least one video, four screenshots, and a written description that includes estimated system requirements.

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.

Getting rid of John Rikki Tikki Tavi would be a step in the right direction.

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.

Quote:
Epic Games is describing Fortnite as a "co-op sandbox survival game." Players spend the day building defenses and crafting items, weapons to defend against enemies at night.

“Fortnite is PC primary and first, but we wouldn't rule out the possibility of other platforms later,” Cliffy B said on Twitter.
No specific release date was announced but the game will arrive at some point in 2013 and be a PC exclusive. There are plans for possibly porting the games later on to consoles but not until the next generation of consoles due to the demands of the Unreal 4 engine.

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.

Rumored images of the "Super Slim" or 2nd slim version of the PS3 were supposedly leaked recently.



In terms of features compared to the current slim, nothing is being taken out although it is rumored to come in 3 models each with a different hard drive size (16GB, 250GB, 500GB).

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:
Sony Computer Entertainment executive producer Pete Smith revealed the news at U.K. conference Develop last week. He said that Sony was in talks over an exclusivity deal, however things broke down after Playdead refused to give up the IP rights.

“I maybe shouldn’t say this, but we had issues when we were trying to sign Limbo because of the IP,” he said. “There are obvious benefits to keeping [your IP], but also to giving it up: you’re way more likely to get the deal. Remember: 100 percent of nothing is nothing. A publisher is much more likely to commit to marketing and merchandising if they own the IP.”

“Sometimes all we want is protection so [devs] don’t make a game, finish it then go to one of our rivals. We look at IP on a case by case basis. With a bit of common sense, you can find common ground,” he added.
Playdead ended up rejecting the offer while going to Microsoft who was a lot more willing to help fund the marketing of the game as a key game for their Summer of Arcade promotion on Xbox Live Arcade.

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.

He also hinted the whole problem might only be a real issue for the first person sub-genre and not shooters as a whole. The potential switch to the near future as the next big move might only produce a temporary boost and not the next big boost in interest for the time being.

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:
"A promotion is not a policy; a promotion is just a feature to give people more value," he said. "It’s not as if a 75% offer or a 50% off sale at some point in time cannibalizes a sale that would have happened earlier, it’s just not true. We’re actually seeing both of them growing. We don’t see one cannibalizing the other. If we did, we wouldn’t do it.

"We put Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 on sale. If we thought that was killing our franchise, or hurting the value of games, or hurting the revenue we could generate as a company, we wouldn’t do it. We’ve even gone so far as to give away Portal for free a couple of times. Whole days where it’s not free for a day, it’s just free. We looked at this amazing data afterwards. The day after the sales were exactly the same, if not more."

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:
“As a development studio, the IP is the greatest value you have,” said Playdead CEO Dino Patti in a statement. “Especially creative IPs, they should always stay with their creators.”
Double Fine studio who themselves lost out on the rights to Psychonauts due to a publisher for a few years publicly sided with Playdead's decision.

Quote:
When the story started spreading, Patti found support from creatives like Double Fine’s Tim Schafer.

“Developers who give up their IP thinking they'll get more support from their publishers are in for a frustrating lesson,” said Schafer on Twitter. “Every developer currently negotiating a pub deal: demand your IP rights! If only 1% win, it's still easier for the next developer! I never said publishers are evil. They can be great partners. But it's better for both parties if devs own IP. Better games!”

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:
Producer Tanya Jessen wouldn't confirm the requirement as a definite, but did state that, should Epic go down that road, it would primarily act as an improvement to the game. The potential measure was justified by the fact that Fortnite is built predominantly for multiplayer.

"Fortnite is a game that’s being developed as a co-op experience primarily," she told Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "That’s our number one focus. This is a game you’re gonna want to play with your friends, and it’s most fun with your friends. So whatever we decide to do there is gonna be more relevant to the most fun experience you can have with your friends [than it is to piracy]. But I can’t nail that down today."

Daily Recap:
1) Baring a change from Microsoft, Fez will stay "broken" on Xbox Live and the patch which caused save corruption has been reuploaded due to Polytron unable to afford the costs for creating a new patch on XBLA with the re-certification fee alone costing $40,000.

2) THQ has officially been hit with a second class action lawsuit from another group of investors who claim the company knowingly mislead investors in regards to the abysmal Udraw sales on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The first class action lawsuit was done in regards to the overall financial decline of the company itself.

3) Even more bad news for THQ as they announce their QA office in Arizona has been shut down as part of the consolidation process while the remaining QA office in Montreal will handle all testing from now on.

A few more weeks until Darksiders 2 hits shelves.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in that THQ office when they get the first numbers.

I hope it lives up to the hype. Darksiders 2 has been one of my most anticipated games for a while now.
