Based on a recent investors meeting, Nintendo hinted they are currently working on ideas for a potential new replacement for their Nintendo Direct series.

Speaking to investors (as translated by VGC), president Shintaro Furukawa explained that although Nintendo still feels like Directs are "an incredibly effective way to present information," it might be time for something new. Furukawa is a bit vague here, but states: "Inversely, times change and so does the most effective way to promote products, so there is a chance that a new, better way to present this information comes about. So we always like to examine all of the possible ways to communicate this information to customers."

Reading between the lines a bit here, having watched every single Direct to date (and witnessed several live at E3), I can see what Furukawa is talking about here. The "Direct" format felt like a living breathing entity when the "whole crew" (Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aimé, Shigeru Miyamoto) was together. They were a huge part of what made the Directs special, and with Iwata gone and Reggie's departure from Nintendo, they effectively have no presenter.

Still, as Furukawa noted, Nintendo is in a great spot to shift into some new format. Nearly everyone, from gaming conferences to individual publishers, is copying details of the Direct format (even down to the vocal delivery and the font). It's a great place to be.

Next gen console games are currently rumored to be getting hit with a $10 price hike.

Basis for the rumor is the price of NBA 2k21 was recently revealed showing a price tag of $69.99.

2K Games is claiming added costs in the game's development was the reason since it was "built from the ground up."

2K Sports, owned by Take-Two Interactive (who in turn owns Rockstar, and many other pricey properties), notes that the $10 premium is due to the fact that the new editions are "built from the ground up" for next-generation machines. Although Take-Two is seemingly alone in this venture right now, the writing has been on the wall for some time. Multiple industry veterans have called for a price increase for a long while, with the $60 standard holding for far longer than a lot of people expected it to.

This year's EVO tournament has been officially cancelled due to recent accusations against now former EVO CEO Joey Cuellar.

EVO initially suspended and later fired Cuellar over these accusations and the growing backlash towards the company.

Once the accusations became public, it lead to a wave of sponsors, competitors, game companies, and commentators bailing out on EVO leaving the company no choice but to drop this year's event.

Earlier today, Mikey, a fighting game competitor, shared his account of repeated incidents with EVO organiser Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar. In a Twitlonger story, Mikey recalled some of his time at the Southern Hills Golfland arcade in the late 90s.

A teenager at the time, Mikey would hang out with a group of older players, Cuellar amongst them, who frequented the arcade. This “old boys club” as he called it, would dare them to do “stupid shit just for a laugh” and reward them with free food or arcade game tokens.

“Wizard was especially into this. He would pay people hundreds of tokens to do things like take off their clothes and jump in the water hazard pools for certain amounts of times,” said Mikey.

“99% of the time, it was young boys. There is only a singular instance I know of where it wasn’t a young boy, and that singular instance, she was allowed to do it in the future, in whatever clothes she liked and only for a few seconds. But for all the boys (out of recollection 12-16) it was like 10-15 minutes, we HAD to be in our underwear (under the reasoning that it would be colder) and they were always challenges at the time so we couldn’t prepare change of clothes, towel, or anything like that.”

Mikey has other claims in his story, many of which are of Cuellar’s behaviour. Since his story came to light, EVO issued a statement saying that Cuellar has been placed on administrative leave while a third-party investigates these allegations.

“We are aware of the accusations that have been made against Joey Cuellar. The behaviour in these accusations runs directly counter to EVO’s mission of building a safe, welcoming environment for all of our players and attendees. We Take this responsibility seriously. Accordingly, Joey has been placed on administrative leave pending a third-party investigation,” it reads.

Other members of the fighting game community came out in support of Mikey, and a number of them said they had heard similar stories from other people in Cuellar’s circle.

It also appears this has been an open secret amongst the fighting game community. The two-year-old video below from Super Arcade’s Mike Watson recounts a different incident.

Sony circling Leyou Technologies Holdings Ltd. for a possible acquisition. Two other Chinese video game developers are also in the mix.

Noted developers under Leyou are Digital Extremes (Warframe), and Splash Damage. Splash Damage is the big prize since they've been cozy with Microsoft for a while now.

Research firm IDG Consulting recently added more fuel to the fire of next gen console games getting a $10 price hike from $60 to $70.

In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, the firm revealed more publishers are currently looking at a $70 price point for their next gen games based on recent talks they had with their sources.

Of course, that figure doesn't take into account all of the extra monetization prospects of games.

IDG says that according to "their channel checks" more publishers are looking at a $70 price point, with the concession that "not every game should garner" that new MSRP. That said, once the floodgates open and the usual suspects (WB, EA, Take-Two) make their move, there's probably no going back.]

Publishers have said in the past that they have to pursue a micro transaction heavy economy to avoid a price hike for the overall cost of games at retail. This must mean we’re seeing end of the aggressive micro transaction economy, right?

Right?

Well they also said cease of instruction booklets and going digital would also help keep costs down.

On the way off chance they were telling the truth (and I mean way off chance), the constant push for higher visual fedility and sound output pretty much cancels out any costs 'saved' from past cost cutting excuses.

Starting to look like that decade or so of $50 games was itself the fluke during a fierce point of the early console wars. $70 dollars was inevitable and what they really want is the $100 price point.

... you mean the $100 price point that already is a thing, since the $60 price usually has content cut, but it's presented as paying extra for "extra" content?

We're not cheating you if we don't call it cheating.

Not good I think. I wish Splash Damage was free to make whatever games they wanted instead of Gears and other junk. I have almost 2000 hours on their last game, Dirty Bomb. Best FPS made in the past 10 years...

Kinda is.

The original idea behind DLC was being extra shit added to a fully fleshed out and feature complete game later to expand the life cycle. Of course, over time and with the advent of patch culture, it has come to be a way to piecemeal shit that was once expected to be part of a game into a lot of shit that isn't even finished to begin with.

You shouldn't have to pay extra money for a campaign, or menu options, or things that were available in previous iterations of x title, but now are mysteriously missing unless you plunk down extra money. No matter how you try to dress it up semantically, it is fucking cut content.

Rockstar is currently rumored to be working on a new AAA status open world game for VR devices based on a recent Linkedin listing.

The same dev team that worked on L.A. Noire's "The VR Case Files" is suppossedly working on this new game based on the same listing.

Billed as "The VR Case Files," the game was handled by former Team Bondi developers who worked on the original L.A. Noire, and it seems like Rockstar is happy enough with the project to greenlight another game. According to a Linkedin listing on Video Game Deluxe's page, the studio is allegedly working on a new "open world AAA title in VR" for Rockstar.

They have "a number of job openings" for the project, including Senior Programmers, an Engine Programmer, a Designer and an Animator. The scope of VR has changed so much these past few years, necessitating all of these positions. Although VR originally debuted with a number of tech demo-like experiences, there have been many strides in terms of "AAA" projects or even open world games recently.

* Bases on a recently released documentary about Valve's past 10 years, the main reason why development for Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 were cancelled were due to issues with the Source 2 Engine at the time. The documentary also revealed that Valve had worked on and scrapped five Half-Life series projects in between the time of HL 2: Episode 2 and Half-Life: Alyx's releases. It was also revealed that Valve has been working on a "top secret project" since 2018.

* According to a report from GameBeat, Sony recently purchased a minority ownership share in Epic Games for around $250 million. In terms of the actual ownership share, Sony now owns around 1.4% of the company.
https://venturebeat.com/2020/07/09/s...er-epic-games/

* EA is currently dealing with backlash from some of their investors in regards to a new proposal for their bonus pay system for their executives that would see them earn even more money than before. The main issue revolves around claims of the company has already become very addicted to spending lavish sums of money on executive bonuses and at a frequent and overlapping pace.

Read that Sony news and thought "Smart investment."

Then I read it only got them like 1% of the company and that's like a really soft voice in a loud room when Sweeney and Tencent got a good chunk of the shares still.

Apparently several details regarding the new Far Cry game, Far Cry 6, were accidentally leaked on Sony's Hong Kong Playstation Store ahead of Ubisoft's E3-like Ubisoft Forward digital event this Sunday.

A single splash-art image features main villain Anton Castillo who, as recently rumoured, will be portrayed by Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito.

"Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time," reads a roughly-translated blurb. "As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their ruthless oppression has ignited a revolution."
Besides plot details, the release date for the game was also leaked alongside the game's PS5 upgrade offer.

Of course, all of this information is subject to change, seeing as how Ubisoft is yet to officially reveal the sequel at all


Following the leak, Ubisoft released an official teaser trailer for the game.

Anybody going to check out the Ubisoft Forward show?

I'll check it out probably after work. See if there's anything new to show for Valhalla and how this new Far Cry 6 looks.

Sat down yesterday after work and watched the Ubisoft Forward.

Skipped over Watch Dogs. Don't really care.

Creed Valhalla is slowly growing on me. But I gotta dig deeper on the finer things/RPG aspects of it before I'm totally sold on it.

Definitely interested in Far Cry 6. But, I think they need to be care they don't have another Far Cry 4 on their hands. Bad plot with a really likeable villian.

All of them seem like the same game with slight innovaions.

In other words, Ubisoft.

Watch Dogs was honestly the coolest part. Their "play as anyone" gimmick was on display, and has the ability to make this an amazing sandbox game.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Sony is currently working to boost production of PS5 consoles for its launch window from their original plan of 5 million consoles by March 2021 to 9-10 million consoles within the same time period.

Supposedly the huge surge in gaming sales and demand during the midst of the coronavius pandemic led to Sony reconsidering their launch plans and sales expectations for the PS5.

As reported by business news outlet Bloomberg, Sony initially planned to create five million PS5 consoles by March 2021, but is now aiming for an optimistic 9-10 million units by the same date. It is believed that the industry giant raised the bar for itself after the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused home gaming to surge throughout the spring and summer of 2020.

Of course, logistical problems caused by the global health crisis mean that even if Sony achieves its mammoth production goals, the company will still face a huge challenge in delivering stock to high street stores worldwide. This is especially true during the typically-hectic holiday period, which already strains global distribution lines at the best of times.

While the plan to double hardware production is yet to be confirmed by Sony itself, several Asian news outlets - such as the Nikkei Asian Review - have received similar reports from their own inside sources.

Good to hear on Sony's part.

This upcoming console generation is going to be kill or be killed for a PS5 or Xbox with we're looking at being indoors this winter with the virus having it's way.

* For those with Xbox Gold subscriptions, Microsoft recently pulled the ability to purchase a 12 month subscription from their online Xbox stores. No official reason was given for the decision.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...e-598001.phtml

* For those interested, Atlus announced that they are currently working on two Shin Megami Tensai games for the Switch. The first being a HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III: Noctturne and planned for a Spring 2021 release and the other being Shin Megami Tensei V and planned for a potential 2021 release.

Well, that's not good. I specifically do one annual purchase so I don't have some monthly pull or an actual working CC on my account. I've been compromised before, but nothing could be done to me since there wasn't anything to steal except maybe play a couple of games for free up until I changed my password.

Unless there's an overhaul coming that includes gamepass or somesuch, looks like I'm just going to have to buy 12 month cards retail.

Bet they end up relisting it at a higher price

I do as well, but I still bought "gold" at a 12 month interval. Saved money, didn't have to fuck with some monthly crap.


If it is gone forever, that's shitty. That'd be removing a cost savings for their customers.

Honestly its probably part of their scheme to undercut Sony on pricing for the new consoles. They undercut them by 50 or 100 bucks, taking a significant loss in the process just to jack up online pricing to make up the difference.

Current speculation going around the net is Microsoft likely is going to combine Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold into a single subscription service instead of being separate services.

They've already done that and did it awhile ago. Games Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold. All they are doing is removing the cheaper option.

Essentially, this. The option was there, but for me there were still a couple of extra steps considering I didn't want to go monthly. GamePass didn't have an annual option. They want you to opt in for a dollar, then slide into a monthly sub and attach a payment. [Addendum: unless they've changed it since, but I doubt it.] As stated before; no thanks.

Combine the two, give the year option without payment method attachment, then leave me the fuck alone.

Tom is on point with it. It just seems "odd" for it to be done without much announcement and reeks of something slimy in the works.


I hope not. I've not had a bad experience with Xbox since the first system. Their customer service has always been amazing and their network is solid.



At this point, there's nothing keeping me from getting a PS5..... not yet. Neither console is a "must buy" for me, but I'll have one of them this time next year.

If anything, tomorrow in Microsoft's big shindig for Xbox, all will be revealed.

I honestly think Microsoft will give a price and launch date for the Series X during this as well.

For those interested in the upcoming new Yakuza game, Sega announced that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also feature an upgrade system for PS5 and Xbox Series X console owners who purchase the current gen version of the game.

The Xbox One to Xbox Series X upgrade will follow Microsoft's "Smart Delivery" system format while the PS4 to PS5 upgrade will likely not be as simple due to details that will be revealed at a later time.

Amazon France briefly listed the price for both versions of the PS5. The prices included the 20% sales tax in France and came to 560USD for disc based and 450USD for the digital version. Without the tax that brings the systems to 450/360USD respectively.

If true that's a good price.

Phil Spencer taking shots at Sony for having first party exclusives. As opposed to what? Asking customers to pay hundreds of dollars to play prettier versions of games I can get on the console I already own? Fuck off Phil.
