Or just go with a straight up online shooter, then rape our wallets with 'premium' dlc.

We're talking about an industry where a developer got in trouble for game content you had to mod your system to access, and the taboo name of "Taliban" had to be rechristened "OpFor", lest it piss off the uptight masses... so it really should come as no surprise.

NSoft also did Rocks the 80s, didn't they? Looks like it still took 'em a while to get things right.

Actually the 80s game was Harmonix's last game. A quickie for them.

Only reason MW 3 was finished on time was Activision committing 3 studios to work on the game (IW, Treyarch, and Sledge). Wouldn't be surprised if IW later merges/absorbs with Sledgehammer Games to give them more experienced workers with the series. |

A couple of Dead Space related news as Dead Space 3 drops competitive multiplayer, the series needs at least 5 million more sales to be guaranteed future games, and the series will be moving away from its horror-based roots to "broaden" its sales ability.
According to news from Game Informer, Dead Space 3 will drop competitive multiplayer modes from the game after the negative reaction from Dead Space 2's multiplayer. The strong emphasis on co-op was done to replace online multiplayer for the game. Some other details include the game being less linear than previous games, more ammo drops along with universal ammo pickups, side-quest missions called "beta missions", and the ability to combine weapons. In a different interview, EA reveals the series and Dead Space 3 itself needs about 5 million more sales in order for EA to "justify" making future games for the series. While EA states they don't want to "piss off" loyal fans of the series, the decision to make Dead Space 3 less horror-based is part of their larger plan to broaden the potential buying audience for the series.

The main concern is there isn't enough games on the other side of the spectrum to counter the growing public image of gaming only catering to violence. http://kotaku.com/5918787/all-that-u...ideo-games-too 2) Capcom teases a Mega Man 25th Anniversary set could be possible but won't reveal any more news until mid-December and after the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary set is released. http://www.screwattack.com/news/mega...niversary-news 3) Based on a recent survey sent by Sony, the company is considering making digital versions of their games cheaper with the catch being either the PS3 or Vita version of the game has to be bought in order to achieve a discount on the other version as a digital game. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-of-ps3-games/ |

Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time was a waste of production values. I did think getting all those old voice actors together was cool, but nothing beats carefree city-wide web-swinging.

I loved the idea of multiple Spideys, too. But there's no real fun in linearity. I want multiple characters with different abilities (I liked the 2099 skin in Spider-Man 2 or whatever), ideally. So much potential in Spider-Man's rogue gallery.

Who wants their daily portion of bullshit?
XBox 720. $299 with "Kinect 2" which has support for 4 player. Blu-Ray. 3D. Yadayadayadayada. Then in 2014, some kind of 4g/ wifi glasses like the Google ones that will augment reality and link with the 720. All very amusing. http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/16/30...doc-leak-rumor |

The slightly amusing slapstick cutscenes of the Lego games that made the Star Wars games brilliant have been ruined with cutscenes.
This Lego Batman 2 feels too serious, just with Lego characters. Can't even skip them, at least the first one. There's a couple of jokes, but the writing is horrible. There's a trailer for the LOTR one and it is just the plot of the films in Lego format. All the charms is gone. |

TimeSplitters 4 could possibly be going back into development with Crytek and Free Radical looking at a fan-based movement as another test for the level of public interest in the game.
A fan-based movement called "100,000 Strong" is using Facebook to generate a goal of 100,000 likes for the project with the idea of sending the results to the boss of Crytek. The movement itself was the result of a recent tweet sent by the boss of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, who wanted to get a quick estimate of the level of fan interest in the series from Twitter which ended up evolving into an official campaign done by fans. Quote:
http://www.destructoid.com/timesplit...t-229714.phtml _______________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) The Xbox 360 dashboard will be getting a new set of ads for Kinect users called "NUads" which are interactive and completely optional to use. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...360-dashboard/ 2) While Battlefield 3 was the first game to use the Frostbite 2.0 engine, EA states the game was more of a demo of the true capabilities of the engine since it was designed for the next generation of consoles. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...tion-consoles/ 3) While Starcraft Ghost has been officially delayed for years, Blizzard hints in the future they might actually find some time to develop the game but not any time soon due to the very low priority the company currently has with the project. http://kotaku.com/5919319/blizzard-s...lost-vikings-3 |

I know I'll be "Liking" the page, even though my Facebook account is dormant. I never use that thing. It's good news though and hopefully the target will be reached. |

Microsoft reveals the lineup for this year's "Summer of Arcade" promotion on Xbox Live Arcade.
The promotion starts on July 18 with Tony Hawk HD and ends on August 15 with Dust. Just like previous Summer of Arcade promotions, this year's special offers 400 MS points as a gift for purchasing three of the five titles available. The main difference this year is all except one title is at the 1200 MS Points price while the special gift doesn't increase in points to offset the higher priced titles. Tony Hawk HD was also confirmed to be a timed exclusive for XBLA with the PSN version not available until weeks after its release for the Xbox 360. Quote:
