Rare could be tweaking their game development direction after recently hiring the former head creative director of Sega West as the new head creative director boss of the company.
Simon Woodroffe, who also worked at Midway and Ubisoft, will become the new head creative director with his main experience revolving around R&D for game projects. Quote:
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...tive-director/ __________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) EA's updates their Origin service to allow gamers who have been banned from an online multiplayer game or from the EA forums to still be able to play their other games in campaign/single player mode offline.Previously a banning from either area meant a complete ban from Origin and all games a user owned for the service. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/play-o...e-banned/4087/ 2) Nintendo announces they are skipping this year's Gamescom convention and instead will focus more on either hosting their own convention or participating in a lot more conventions this year than usual. http://www.screwattack.com/news/nint...-gamescom-year 3) According to Capcom, the demo for the upcoming Dragon Dogma's game will arrive on XBLA and PSN on April 24 for US/Canada and April 25 for Europe. http://www.screwattack.com/news/drag...demo-next-week |

An issue with many companies is lack of vision. Maybe this guy can help Rare, but they could have more problems than that itself.

I did as well. Everyone always tries to convince me it's shit, but hell, I even liked that Woo Stranglehold game.
Maybe Brink would have been the better example. |

Sony officially debuts God of War IV with the details given so far making the game act as a prequel for the first game and set for release on the PS3.
The game's official title is "God of War Accession" and covers the origins of Kratos before the events of God of War I. While it wasn't specified how far back in the storyline the prequel occurs, it will cover the events that lead to Kartos' family destruction and him becoming a "god killer." Sony also states more details about the game will arrive on April 30. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...war-ascension/ _____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Persona 3 which was released released as a digital PS2 Classic on PSN was recently discovered to have a game saving bug which does not allow any progress to be saved. http://www.screwattack.com/news/aler...save-game-data 2) Bethesda announces Prey 2 has been delayed due to serious issues involving the game's development which will prevent the game from being released in 2012. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/bethes...his-year/4095/ 3) Take it with a grain of salt but a rumor posted by the Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) states Mirror's Edge 2 will be arriving next gen with Kinect support for the next Xbox version. http://www.oxm.co.uk/40751/mirrors-e...ect-20-rumour/ |

Well, considering Apple products hold the highest resale value and are insanely easy to sell, I guess you made the right call letting GS violate you for $250.

EA announces they are putting a strong emphasis on "online universes" for all future games they develop.
The idea is for a single game covering multiple platforms to share the same "online universe" in a sense that anything done in one platform benefits the same game owned on a different platform. The games would all share the same online account and data which also means everything is saved on EA's servers than locally. The examples EA gave involved playing FIFA on mobile devices can unlock achievements for the same game owned on the Xbox 360. Quote:

A good day for he and Philip Humber.
Is he the first to do it this year? I would have thought someone would have had it by now, since the contest on last year's game ended on the first day. |

I don't think he's the first, but they added other steps to make it a tourny sort of deal even after doing it at home.

Oh, that's cool. Makes the whole competition seem more exciting to me rather than some random draw ending it on day 1 and everyone forgetting about it.
