It appears that the new Xbox LIVE update, which will introduce support for the new XGD3 disk format, might prevent a very small number of Xbox 360 owners from playing retail game discs.

Kotaku were contacted by a reader who received an email from Microsoft informing him that it had detected via Xbox LIVE that his Xbox (a 60GB Pro from 2009) was affected. Microsoft has offered to replace his console with a new Xbox 360S with 250GB hard drive at no expense.

The email has since been verified by Xbox Support via their official Twitter account.

The XGD3 format will allow for additional storage space on a game disc, and will provide additional levels of copy production.

The Xbox LIVE Spring update will be rolled out between May 19 to May 30.

Update: Microsoft has confirmed that a "a very small number" of consoles are affected. This fault manifests itself as a 'disc unreadable' or 'disc unsupported' error on the screen. Microsoft said it is able to detect this issue over Xbox Live and are proactively reaching out to customers that may be impacted to replace their console.

If you receive this error, contact Microsoft at www.xbox.com/support/contact

D Mac how do you feel about XBLA/PS3 games? Because that's exactly how they work right now. I imagine, eventually, all games will be digital download. But retail stores are still fairly important in the grand scheme of things.

SEGA hints a new F-Zero game might eventually be made but also had to confirm it wouldn't be coming in the near future after a recent interview showed the company is willing to make another game in the series.

Biggest issue right now according to the producer is creating a good enough idea or gameplay feature for both SEGA and Nintendo to approve of the project.

Instead of traditionally having Nintendo come up with an idea and finding a studio to make the game, the F-Zero series has a special status of SEGA getting to determine when the game can be made and all they have to do is tell Nintendo to get the project approved.

Quote:
"It might happen if someone comes up with a brilliant idea that would make both Nintendo and SEGA happy," said Nobuya Ohashi who is currently working as a producer on Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games.

He added: "If there's a good idea, that will work for both of us, then we might do that."
If a new game in the series were to be made, most likely the choices would be between the 3DS or the upcoming Nintendo system due to Nintendo recently stating the last set of 1st party games for the Wii have already been set and in development.

I read Nintendo didn't want a new F-Zero because they felt the series had gone as far as it could with GX so they ended the series there.

According to a trusted source (same source that leaked out the new Batman being a downloadable title), the upcoming Alan Wake game will be a downloadable game for XBLA.

The game will be titled as Alan Wake: Night Spring and is set to be sort of an "expansion" type game while explaining the story to new people (similar to the Mass Effect 2 comic for PS3 users).

Microsoft will not allow any screen shots to be released since they most likely want to officially debut the game at E3.

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

The effort Crytek putting for Cyrsis 2 multiplayer seems to have been a bust at this point with the game crashing out of the Top 20 for Xbox Live for both the 2011 year and recent month.

News on the PC platform isn't any better with the peak being about 511 people the last few months. No news on the PS3 version but since it had lower sales than Xbox 360 and PSN recently being down will not be good for Crytek.

An email sent by Activision to its studios working on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 shows that Activision was monitoring the situation involving potential leaks of the game and knew people were leaking info about the game.

In the email, Activision did not blame anyone or any studio for the leaks but also praised the hard work of the studios in preparing for the official release.

Activision and Infinity Ward ended up acknowledging the leaks as the debut of Modern Warfare 3 but were worried of their official revealing being ruined as a result. Due to how much stuff was already done when the leak occurred, Activision still had enough new stuff to talk about in the official debut for the game.

If anything, Activision is upset at Kotaku for leaking out too much game info and worried for a while the hype of the game could have suffered in the long run.

Quote:
"I wanted to reach out to you today and address the Call of Duty intellectual property leak that occurred last Friday," started Hirshberg. "Of course, Activision takes very seriously any abuse of our intellectual property – the event is under investigation and we’re confident it will be resolved quickly."

"What I want to tell you about is how we handled the event internally," he continued. "We were lucky in that we were very close to our scheduled reveal date, and therefore, we had a number of assets that had not yet been released, but were ready to go."

"When it came to light that we had suffered a significant security breach, it became clear that a leak of this size had the potential to throw our launch off of its schedule, or worse, blunt its momentum," he wrote. "As a company, we needed to look both backwards and forwards simultaneously. Of course we needed to immediately begin finding the source of the leak. But we also needed to deal with the fact that, like it or not, our launch had just begun."

----------------------------------------------------------------
Quick News Round-Up:

1) Bioware leaks on Twitter that work on Dragon Age III is currently in process. The game might make an official announcement at E3 2011.
2) After seeing the success of Nintendo's AR stuff, Sony announces it will be adding their own AR tech in upcoming Sony products. Even though Sony says they've been working on the tech since the PS1, its another situation where Sony waits and "copies" after Nintendo does it first.
3) Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype "paid" demo delayed again as Capcom announces the demo will not be launching when eshop launches in June. The whole project itself is in danger of being cancelled due to constant delays and Capcom unwilling to back the project 100%.

Saw it coming.

I really think this is because Inafune left Capcom. Megaman is left out of MvC3, Megaman Universe is cancelled and it's only a matter of time before MML3 is cancelled as well.
I think I remember reading a while ago that Megaman 10 was the last of that series of MM games.

Pretty sure they're trying to put Megaman away.

Well if Capcom wants to be gay about it perhaps they should sell it to Inafune's new company. They won't. But it's gay.

(And for that matter give DMC to Platinum Games since Itsuno lost his fucking mind)

Can understand them not wanting to make anymore disc based games, but I'm pretty sure megaman 9 & 10 were both critical and financial successes. Seems stupid to not at least keep making DLC games, as the franchise still has a fairly large fanbase.

I can't find the story about MM10 being the last retro MM but I swear I read that somewhere. I can't remember where exactly. Maybe I'm wrong.

It all still seems suspiciously timed. I can shrug off Megaman not being in MvC3 just after Inafune left but now that everything Megaman related is being killed off, it's odd.

I have a feeling one of the Mega Men will arrive in 'Hyper MvC3'. If MML3 isn't cancelled by next fall, and with much of Volnutt's assets already built in TvC - I imagine Volnutt would be chosen.

IF MML3 isn't cancelled. And IF there will be a Hyper Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Nintendo of America almost one time managed to post the Legend of Zelda timeline but when they told Nintendo of Japan of their plan, NOJ told them to stop the project and told them that their timeline was essentially correct.

Supposedly, the timeline has enough "space" to allow new games to enter the series timeline without needing a new story arch and as a way to keep the series active after 25 years using the same basis for the tale.

Quote:
Mases Hagopian: I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you're sort of a celebrity in the Zelda Community. Interviews you did 10-15 years ago are still quoted to try to prove the validity of various timeline theories.

Dan Owsen: You know, at one point we had drafted a timeline and wanted to make it available online. We showed it to the guys in Japan and they basically told us that it would be best if we didn't post it. They do have a timeline that has continuity between the games but they wanted to keep it open for how each player views the chronology of the series. There are a lot of connections between the games, but they do have a timeline that has continuity. It's up to the player to place all the pieces together.

Mases Hagopian: So there seems to be a disconnect between you guys (Nintendo of America) and the developers in Japan.

Dan Owsen: I wouldn't call it a disconnect. Just that the developers feel that posting a full narrative would take away from the players' imagination. Part of what makes the series so special is the legend that spans across the series and they wanted to preserve that in the players' vision. It's also why they have never given Link a voice. The story is told as if the player is Link. Giving him a voice would eliminate that attachment.

DiRT 3 joins the growing list of games to put restrictions on online multiplayer using the Online Pass model. The pass is being called "VIP Pass" from Codemasters studio although no price was given for those who would have to pay.

I had DOA4 breifly and the end boss is rock solid hard. Tried playing online and, with the game being so old, the only people online are the hardcore DOA fans. I think I may have won online once during the whole time I had it. Traded it in a week or two after I bought it.

I don't think I'm cut out for 3D fighters. I was decent with DOA2 as a teen but I've lost any skill I built up playing that back then.

Didn't think too many people would still be online. Offline sessions then with my crew. 4plyr tag action.

Until SFxT anyway. And TTT2.

I've just been feeling 'multiplayer' lately.

Hardly ever, I suppose. I've just been off the wagon and played Reach's campaign and Firefight modes and training in MvC3. Now I wanna go from that to playing with a lot of people. FFX-2 is fun, though.

Sony posts its 2nd worst annual financial loss ever in the company's history with the 2011 financial report showing around $3.1 billion loss for the entire company while the Playstation division continues to show more losses. The worst part of the news was Sony had been expecting $927 million overall in profits for the year.

The PSN disaster alone cost $171 million and could rise until PSN is completely restored. The majority of this loss will count against the 2012 report and not this year's report. Third party companies have also said the PSN downtime has cost them a few million with Capcom saying it could impact future PSN titles for 2011.

The only good news is the total loss could have been as high as $4.4 billion but they were able to get an extension on their deferred taxes for now ($1.3 billion as of now).

Quote:
"Based on information currently available to Sony, our current known costs associated with the unauthorised network access are estimated to be approximately 14 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012," the company told investors today.

Furthermore, Sony predicted a net loss for the entire 2011 financial year of ¥260 billion ($3.1 bn / £1.9bn) - compared to expectations in February that the company was on track to record a profit of ¥70 billion, blaming a write-off due to deferred tax assets.

For the full 2011 financial year Sony expects the Japanese earthquake and tsunami to wipe ¥17 billion from operating profits, and a further ¥150 billion from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
The worst financial loss for Sony occurred after the HD format wars and the PS3 launch where Sony lost $3 billion alone in those 2 departments. The biggest reason was the PS3 costing them $1 billion to launch and the HD War costing them $2 billion.

It is unlikely the massive loss will make Sony rethink of the pricing for the NGP due to them wanting at all costs to take over Nintendo and Apple's spots in the handheld/mobile markets.

Sony also sort of guaranteed their 2012 report has almost no chance of being good either but did express it should be less of a sting than this year.
