That B4 teaser trailer was ass.

CvS2 as a straight port is not what people are asking for.

Early Access is a bad idea, if not a punchline in the making (in regard to most games being unfinished when they release anyway).

http://www.screwattack.com/news/pax-...nt-says-capcom

3) According to rumors, the next Call of Duty game will be called "Call of Duty: Ghosts" and will only be available for next-gen consoles.

I seriously doubt we're seeing a next-gen only Call of Duty this early on.

Though it might well promote the sale of next-gen consoles.

Grant Kirkhope playing games he composed music for with Egoraptor & Jontron. Some cool little titbits of information about the making of the games and the music. A lot of it is just generally chat, though. Strong language.

Anything noteworthy in the Steam Indie sale?

The list is long, rife with repeats, and random if you go back to it.

Daily Gaming News:
1) According to a recent rumor, DICE is expanding who can join the upcoming Battlefield 4 open beta to include those with Battlefield Premium subscriptions. Previously it was promised only those who pre-ordered MoH Warfighter would get access to the beta.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...m-subscribers/

2) Double Fine's Kickstarter project was debuted during [AX East over the weekend and is named "Broken Age."
http://www.screwattack.com/news/pax-...-been-revealed

3) CD Projekt Red is planning on releasing 4-5 games between 2014-2016 with at least two of the projects being smaller titles to go along with The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 as their top priority within the timeframe.
http://www.destructoid.com/cd-projek...e-249476.phtml

4) The developer of Fez and recent Sony-exlucive Indie developer, Phil Fish, has recently ranted on Twitter claiming the Vita is perfect while claiming both the DS and 3DS are "BS" handhelds. Among his list of claims include no DS/3DS game ever worthy of using 2 screens, the Vita's back panel not being a gimmick, and anyone buying Nintendo handhelds having actual mental problems.

At the same time, being a douchenozzle is why he gets attention. Because being a dickweed makes you an icon.

Daily Gaming News:
1) The president of Square-Enix, Yoichi Wada, announces he will be resigning from the company after it is expected the company will post a loss of around $138 million for this fiscal year. The biggest source for the loss was their recent restructuring plans which cost them around $106 million.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/squa...ada-steps-down
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ada-to-resign/

2) Also revealed by Square-Enix was the news of the Tomb Raider reboot, Hitman Absolution, and Sleeping Dogs all failed to meet their sales expectations and prevent a financial loss from being posted for this fiscal year. Square-Enix blamed the North American market for the slow sales compared to other regions.
http://www.destructoid.com/tomb-raid...x-249692.phtml

3) Tecmo Koei announces they have split up Team Ninja into two smaller development groups although no official reason was given for the split.

How the fuck are games that sold 3.4(TR) and 3.6(Hitman) million copies a fucking failure? Oh right, anything that doesn't get CoD's sales figures is a huge flop.

Oh. It was rhetorical.

But yeah. I'm surprised they were expecting more than the sales Sleeping Dogs got. Nearly 2 million is awesome for a new franchise.

Yes it is.

Maybe if they stopped putting out terrible FF13 sequels and a rushed MMO, they wouldn't be hurting so bad.

Come to think of it, FFXIII2 didn't sell much better than Sleeping Dogs. Maybe they should take that as a sign.

And they are remaking HD versions of FFX and FFX-II

Instead of FFX - II, they should remake FFVII in HD, it would sell waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Square Enix already sells FF7 as a digital download for PC. Are there really that many people who care about an HD remake, but don't want to bother with installing mods to update the graphics?

Konami are showing off all the features of the FOX Engine at GDC at the moment and it looks damn impressive. Slaps the pants off of anything that Epic have show off with Unreal so far.

Daily Gaming News:
1) Similar to Valve having a new service for Steam that allows people to pay and play unfinished games still in development, Sony states they are considering doing the same for the PS4, PS Vita, PS mobile devices, and PS3.
http://www.destructoid.com/sony-is-o...4-249719.phtml

2) Former employees from Crystal Dynamics, Criterion, Atari, and EA Visceral Melbourne studios have formed a new studio called Space Dust.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-dust-studios/

3) While Epic Games stated Warzone mode would not be included in Gears of War Judgmenet, it was recently discovered the mode is actually located on the game's disc. To help defuse the potential negative backlash, an employee from the studio explained how to unlock the mode and play it for free.

Sleeping Dogs isn't really fully a new series. It's the True Crime series just without the name.

True Crime was a name tacked on to an existing game in this case. It was never a True Crime game in any sense other than hoping the name would draw attention. Considering that it was dropped, I doubt this was a major factor.

Yes. People have asked for a VII remix since PS2 hit the markets. It is (arguably) the most popular and widely recognized installment of the entire series. It would break records, I would imagine.

2) While Crytek themselves have stated they have no interest in buying the Darksiders series, their US branch (Crytek USA) has announced they will make a bid for the IP when the next THQ auction occurs.
http://www.destructoid.com/crytek-us...e-249890.phtml

3) EA claims DRM is a failed strategy to use in gaming although once again took no blame for the SimCity mess stating they had no role in the game's development nor the idea to use DRM.

I'm not even going to read the article, though I'm assuming it actually covered what the EA exec actually said.

You know, where he actually defended SimCity's always online and the like as a "service" rather than DRM, defended the practice in SimCity. This is kind of a big difference, as it means EA probably won't turn over a new leaf so much as try and rebrand DRM "services."

Quote:
Speaking to GamesIndustry International at GDC this week, Gibeau commented, "That's not the reality; I was involved in all the meetings. DRM was never even brought up once. You don't build an MMO because you're thinking of DRM - you're building a massively multiplayer experience, that's what you're building."
Not only was DRM not a topic of internal discussion at EA, Gibeau said, but the executive also made it very clear that DRM is simply not an option for publishers anymore.
Yeah, so basically SimCity doesn't have DRM. And it's also an MMO.

Calling it an MMO would be the wise thing to do, then you have a much more manageable case of "SimCity was never a multiplayer game" and such. Then comes AE on why they wanted SimCity to go that route. Either way it's easier than trying to defend DRM.
