Electronic Arts thinks gaming will go entirely digital in the near future so they announce they are in the process of planning to do the same with all EA developed and published games to only have digital releases once they are ready.
While it wasn't specifically stated, its assumed the games would only be available on Origin or a select number of EA approved digital providers. EA could also have been influenced by a recent report from the NPD which stated roughly a third of all gamers now only purchase digital copies of games while the overall spending in the retail market has declined so far since the same period last year.

The ruling however doesn't require current digital distribution providers to offer a trade-in program if they don't want to though. http://kotaku.com/5923280/european-c...-digital-games 2) A current rumor semi-confirmed by Gamestop states a Knights of the Old Republic Collection set will be released later this month as a PC exclusive, contains KOTOR 1 & 2, and a retail price of $20. http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...pc-later-month 3) Atlus is having a mega sale on PSN with almost every game they've released or published for the service having a 50% discount from now until July 31st.

Gaming going all digital is still a bad idea with bandwidth caps.

FF7 & 8 are being re-done on PC. Probably just makes them work on newer PCs, but the specs have got one hell of a bump.
Releasing on their store. There's placeholders for them in Steam, so they should come there at some point. |

Google and a new company involving former people at IGN, Microsoft's Xbox division, and a few others are currently rumored to be working on a new console called Ouya.
The console is rumored to cost $99 and would be Android-based in design. Also rumored is the games will be free to play while the console itself can be legally "hacked" in a sense of every console coming with its own dev kit. Consumers are being encouraged to develop and publish their own games for the service. Quote:

Sounds like BS. Remember when Gateway or one of the other pc companies had a console in the works? Haven't heard anything new about that since.

This Ouya thing may be interesting. Though having everyone and their mama's developing games will lead to a sea of shit by default. There may be some gems eventually.

DICE thinks the modern warfare setting for shooters is getting stale while public support for the genre might be beginning to dwindle unless something huge can be done.

Honestly, though, I'm surprised anyone's picking up on this even after "shooter fatigue" at E3. The industry's always seemed okay with driving a genre into the ground. |

In theory I should love that game because of how much I love Final Fantasy music, but my hatred of rhythm based games and the 3DS makes me hesitant. I also feel like I would be embarrassed to play that/have people watch me play that.

Quake Wars is an amazing FPS set in the future and was met with little to no success because everyone was too busy playing COD :/ I still play QW (imo, best fps of the past 10 years), but theres only a couple active servers left now...

I think Fassbender will make a great lead, although I could have seen Jake Gyllenhaal in the role because he did such a good job with Prince of Persia.

The list of bundles and games Valve is planning to put on sale as part of their annual mega Summer Sale might have been leaked according to a posting on Reddit.
The source stated the info was found while digging in one of Steam's databases which listed 11 indie bundles and a lot of games along with DLC packs. Quote:
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-bundles-leak/ __________________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Peter Molyneux's newest plan involves seeing how many dumbasses will actually purchase a piece of DLC costing $50,000 for his upcoming game called Curiosity. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...s-a-50-000-dlc 2) Gearbox announces anyone who has a Borderlands 1 save file will automatically unlock exclusive character heads and skins for Borderlands 2. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...borderlands-2/ 3) Gearbox also claims despite rumors stating Brothers in Arms Furious 4 has been canceled, the game is still in development although a lot of new unannounced changes are being made to the game. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/brothe...ve-heard/4257/ |

While only 1 can actually buy it, Molyneux did state there is the possibility people will pool their money which means the item can be shared somehow. It would also imply that multiple people would be willing to pay a good amount to get the item (either have the $50,000 outright or having others help).
The money thing was a mistake since I took the news from another source that briefly stated the article but got the money wrong. The Eurogamer link was quickly taken from that article for more details (http://www.screwattack.com/news/pete...e-defending-it). Didn't have time to fully read the article because for the past year or so, I've been splitting time between my place and at the grandparents to help take care of them. I'm lucky if I can "leech" 1 bar of internet from the neighbors when I'm over there like today and countless days before. |
