Kotaku is saying the only things changed was a new button being added and start/select being moved to a new spot.

That's good to know. Still not sure I'm BUYING one, but I won't dismiss it offhand if it's comfortable.

Reading this makes me draw the conclusion they plan for a RDR sequel. I really hope so.

I figured they'd make a new one anyway. Red Dead Revelations: Marston's Revengeance.

Fignuts 05-20-2012 10:59 PM

Hate that Revengeance is a word.

El Fangel 05-21-2012 12:09 AM

It sounds so odd.

Drakul 05-21-2012 02:57 AM

I remember hearing a while back that they had wanted to make RDR a full on series like GTA. So, that obviously means we'll get sequels.

It'll probably be like GTA with a new protagonist each time. I don't think we'll get Marstons "early years" or anything.

El Fangel 05-21-2012 03:24 AM

That actually would be pretty entertaining as they established his lifestyle back then. If they did a prequel 5-10 years prior, it could be pretty sweet.

While I don't want Marston's early years, it'd be nice if we got one set a bit further back. Redemption was at the very end of the West (One of the major themes, of course, but still) and it'd be interesting to see a full-on Western.

Drakul 05-21-2012 10:12 AM

People wanted a Cowboys & Indians style of setting before RDR was released. Forums often had people saying they wanted to come across Native tribes and so on.

If R* listen to fans, they might do something with that.

Drakul 05-21-2012 10:13 AM

Make a Red Dead game where you play as a Native American, fighting the white man.

Red Dead Reservation.

D Mac 05-21-2012 11:00 AM

Cowboys and Aliens :shifty:

Drakul 05-21-2012 11:01 AM

Would have been a more entertaining DLC than Cowboys & Zombies.

PrettyCool 05-21-2012 11:01 AM

Red Dead Redemption 2 : Bonnie's "wild ride" :naughty:

But there was totally an indian tribe, so it counts!

Really happy Rockstar refuse to streamline their games into yearly iterations, quality over quantity.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-21-2012 04:36 PM

There's going to be a Payday: The Heist and L4D crossover.

I'm not sure what to think about that. Could be great though.

Kalyx triaD 05-21-2012 06:19 PM

Rockstar had that stance for a long time, announcing it a few years ago after GTA4 came out. I guess they wanted to reiterate it after Max Payne was released. It's an honorable stance. But really, nobody really does it but Activision(?).

Kalyx triaD 05-21-2012 06:22 PM

Pre-Order DLC packs have come to Lego Batman 2:

Some good and bad news in regards to Gearbox's upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines game.

The good news is a new trailer was released for the game and Gearbox confirms the game is in the last stage of development.

The bad news is the game has been delayed from its original late 2012 release date to now a February 12, 2013 date with the Wii U version being delayed a bit longer. Gearbox was hoping to have the game ready by the time the Wii U launched but will not be able to in the end.

It appears Sega might have been the ones to make the official decision to delay the game based on the press release sent and Gearbox mentioning they will just polish the game for those extra months.

FUCK yes @ Just Cause 3 & 4. For the love of god though, put in cheat codes this time. This type of game begs for them.

New 007 looks sexy. Wonder what the other 5 movies will be. Dr. No, surely.

They'll put Goldeneye in. If that's not the last mission, whatever the next James Bond film is will be it.

Bought Sonic 4 Episode 2 and kind of wishing I hadn't. Dunno, the tag moves are a bit dull and you get told when to use them and which move to use so there is no need to "experiment". Or you could just tag-team barrel roll through the level.
The bonus stage being accessable at the end of every level is a bit dull too. It would have been better if it was only accessable at the end of the frst act of each zone. Though they don't put enough zones in the game for that.

The details of Bungie's contract with Activision have been made public as part of the legal action with the former IW heads.

They're going to make 4 "sci-fantasy" action shooters under the code-named "Destiny". The first should drop fall 2013 and be 360 (or it's successor) exclusive for one year. Follow-ups will then be on Sony, MS and PC in 2015, 2017, and 2019.

Then you have 4 DLC expansions code-named "Comet" coming out in the falls of 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. Activision are allowed to take over all these projects if Bungie cannot meet their requirements, but they cannot make spin-offs or sequels until all of Bungie's work on the franchise is complete.

Finally, 5% of their team are allowed to work on a new Marathon game with that team allowed to grow once they reach a certain level of operating income.

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/21/ac...code-named-de/

Not mentioned in the Joystiq article is the promise of large cash bonuses if a game gets a metacritic ranking of 90 or above.

I was hoping to see something fresh out of Bungie personally that wasn't a sci-fi (or sci-fantasy, I guess) shooter, but stick to what you know seems to be the credo here.

38 Studios is fucked.

Not sure if they or EA own the copyright on Kingdoms of Amular, but if it's the former, don't expect a sequel anytime soon.

Which is funny, because they just launched the trailer for their MMO.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-22-2012 10:37 AM

Pretty much. This Governor Lincoln Chafee fellow has said he's done letting the state give them "easy money", confirms layoffs, doesn't confirm if the current staff are being paid or not and then says the MMO will be out June 2013.

Basically, they owe $49 million to the state, they paid off $1.125mil this month and the next payment is due November 1st of $2.6 million. Then a wonderfully crippling $12.6 million in 2013.

The Rhode Island administration says they'll do everything it can to stop the company failing short of giving it more cash. But since they're ambiguous about staff being paid or not, the cynical bastard in me assumes they're not.

Turbine and Avalanche studios are holding recruitment events in the area to try and get some of their staff with the former having 50 openings on their current MMO project.

If their MMO comes out June 2013, I'm assuming it will be out regardless of what state it's in to try and rake in some of the cash to keep them afloat

I wonder if Schilling can ask ESPN for a raise?

XCom the shooter has been delayed until fiscal year 2014. XCom the traditional strategy game by Fraxis is out the day after my birthday, October 9th 2012.

It's like they knew exactly what I wanted :'(

According to recent rumors and leaks, Konami is planning on making two new Castlevania games with one set in the classic 2D style for the 3DS and a sequel to Lord of Shadows for every other platform.

The 3DS Castlevania game is rumored to have the title of "Mirror of Faith" with no other details besides the game expected to follow in similar style to previous games on the GBA and DS. Also hinted was the possibility of the producer from Lord of Shadow, David Cox, taking over the project instead of Koji Igarashi who has been the producer for the portable branch of the series.

There were initial plans for Mirror of Faith to also have a Wii U version before it was canceled which would have used the tablet's cameras to activate AR features and motion controls for the game.

The sequel to Castlevania Lord of Shadow is also rumored to be in development with the Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, and Wii U expected to be the platforms for the game. Almost no actual details were leaked in regards to this project nor any confirmation if Hideo Kojima is helping with the development like the original game.

The official debut for both games have been rumored to occur at this year's E3 and be one of the main games featured for Konami's press conference.

Huh. 95% sure I'll end up getting that SF collector's set. Just as well, since I traded in SFxT a couple of weeks ago and they probably won't have the jumping issue fixed till the time when all the 12 dlc characters are out.
