Anthem is dead.

EA and BioWare have agreed to give it up and move on to other things.

Gamestop announced that their CFO and Executive Vice President Jim Bell will be resigning from his roles in the company late next month.

No official reason was given for the decision.

As part of his resignation, Bell will be getting a severance package worth more than double his annual salary.

The retailer noted that as Bell is resigning with "good reason," the soon-to-be-former CFO will receive severance in the region of $2.8 million - over twice their annual salary. The company's filings do not denote specifically what led to the resignation decision. GameStop has begun interviewing candidates for a suitable replacement.

The news comes following a particularly chaotic financial period for the company. While GameStop, like many retailers, has struggled to adapt to a changing retail market, these efforts were further hampered by the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the recent stock rush drama only served to further complicate matters, with GameStop stock rising to almost $500-per-share before plummeting to around $40-per-share in the space of a fortnight, as online communities such as Wall Street Bets inflated prices in order to cause major losses for market short-sellers.

The U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission is currently investigating the events of the so-called "Gamestonks" rush, in order to ascertain whether any unlawful conduct was committed by any of the parties involved - including online communities, independent traders, and stock market trading apps.

Amazing. Most exciting gaming news I have heard all year. Silent Hill 2 is one of my top games of all time, I still play it time to time. I just hope its a new original game and not a remake, I don't think any remake could do the original justice.


A little bit wary, I don't know if a new development team outside of Konami can capture the magic. I will still buy it, but the newer Silent Hill games never matched the masterpieces that 1-3 were. Homecoming was really bad, and Vatra games' Downpour left a lot to be desired, but was still a really good game that got overlooked because of a disastrous buggy launch.


Hope they hand it off to someone who UNDERSTANDS Silent Hill. I want a new story in the vein of the originals. I would hate to see another Silent Hill with a pyramid head enemy just because "PYRaMid HeaD = SILENT HILL". Anyone who just throws a pyramid head in, like the Silent Hill movies do, really did not understand it's origins. It was unique to the story of Silent Hill 2, the protoganists inner demon punishing him for his sins, perceived or otherwise.


If they get it right, it will be the game to make me run out and buy a next gen console.
I could talk Silent Hill for hours...SO MUCH depth to those games, especially 2.

Sony reportedly is currently in the process of restructuring their Sony Japan Studio, according to a report from VGC.

It was reported that as part of the restructuring plans, a "vast majority" of the studio's staff have been laid off and will cease to be a key studio within the company starting on April 1st.

Quote:

Following a glut of rumors and reports, Sony Japan has stated that it is currently in the process of "re-organizing" Japan Studio, Sony's oldest and longest-running in-house game developer.

Word of the restructure first came via an in-depth report by VGC, who noted that Sony Japan Studio had released a "vast majority" of its development staff, not renewing their annual contracts as the clock ticks down on a new financial year. It has also been impossible not to notice the growing list of producers who have recently left Sony to seek their fortunes and creative muses elsewhere. Sony has since responded to VGC's report, openly stating that the Japan Studio is currently in a deep process of consolidation and restructure.

"In an effort to further strengthen business operations, SIE can confirm PlayStation Studios Japan Studio will be re-organized into a new organization on April 1," said a Sony spokesperson. "Japan Studio will be re-centered to Team ASOBI, the creative team behind Astro's Playroom, allowing the team to focus on a single vision and build on the popularity of Astro's Playroom. In addition, the roles of external production, software localization, and IP management of JAPAN Studio titles will be concentrated within the global functions of PlayStation Studios" ...

VGC's report suggests that creative differences may be a key factor in the studio's struggles, with Japan Studio wishing to continue its focus on unique and most creatively distinct titles, while Sony Interactive Entertainment at large was hoping for the studio to develop games with a more universal, mainstream appeal. While the former way of thinking is noble and to be celebrated, the fact remains that Japan Studio hasn't been profitable in some time, with many seeing the writing on the wall as far back as a year ago.

Sony is getting out of the movie and TV show market on the Playstation Store. It'll be just strictly games. No more purchases and rentals. Of course, anything you have bought can still be watched.

You got until August 31st of this year to look around for some deals.

Bandi Namco is currently rumored to be working on a Nintendo Direct-like series for their own game announcements.

Basis for the rumor involves a recent trademark filed by the company for the term "Bandai Namco Next" for entertainment related stuff like online streaming shows.

"Bandai Namco Next" was recently approved, and evidently applies to "amusement parks, esports competitions, movies, toys, plays, musical performances, radio programs, computer networks, online publications, animated feature films, and games," according to TheGamer. Given that their prior Bandai Namco event was kind of a bust (consistently mostly of stuff we've already seen, very late at night in the US), I hope they bring it.

Sony currently working on the idea of using a banana (and other items) as a gaming controller based on a recent patent filing.

In a filing spotted by GamesIndustry.biz, Sony said that it "would be desirable if a user could use an inexpensive, simple, and non-electronic device as a video game peripheral."

Enter the banana.

Presumably, you'd be able to use just about anything with this patent-pending system, as you'd be moving the "non-luminous" object based on the poses you're doing with it. One image also shows X and Triangle buttons mapped out on different parts of the peel. In addition to the banana--or two bananas--Sony mentions objects such as oranges, mugs, or pens.

Microsoft purchase of ZeniMax and Bethesda was finally approved by the SEC and European Union Commission.

The final paperwork and actual ownership takeover is currently expected to be completed by late 2021.

By law, Microsoft was obliged to seek approval from the statutory bodies on the basis of Antitrust - essentially global laws that are in place in order to supervise and prevent the formation of monopolies within a given industry. This is a common legal procedure in transactions of this nature, and was also sought by Tencent during the conglomerate's acquisition of mobile giant King in 2016.

Having received approval from both the EU Commission and the SEC, Microsoft is now expected to press forward with the $7.5 billion transaction, which is expected to see completion in late-2021. The deal gives Microsoft ownership of ZeniMax Media and its subsidiary studios and licenses, including those of video game publisher Bethesda Softworks.

Bethesda and Microsoft have previously assured video game fans that the new deal does not automatically designate all future Bethesda releases as Xbox/PC exclusives, suggesting that title exclusivity will be designated on a "case-by-case" basis. Bethesda's next release, Deathloop, will retain its initial PlayStation exclusivity despite the Microsoft purchase.

Microsoft is currently rumored to be holding a video event on March 11th to discuss details regarding their recent purchase of ZeniMax & Bethesda.

According to sources speaking with VentureBeat, Microsoft is planning to discuss what this industry-shaking transaction means for Xbox going forward, with specific regard to the Xbox Game Pass service. According to VentureBeat's sources, Microsoft is currently preparing a video presentation for broadcast Thursday, March 11, in order to better explain its plans for its newly owned studios such as Bethesda Softworks.

Of course, one of the biggest concerns from a customer standpoint revolves around exclusivity deals, and whether Xbox will now hold firm to titles such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Wolfenstein, and others. At present it remains unclear as to whether Microsoft intends to broach this subject in the presentation, focusing more on its plans to bring the aforementioned franchises to the Game Pass service.

It is also noted that the presentation is not an E3-style "reveal" deal. This isn't going to be a showcase for new and upcoming games. The report states that this is more a matter of business, as Microsoft begins to set out its goals for its soon-to-be-acquired portfolio of new studios and blockbuster brands, boosting its inventory to some 23 development teams.

I basically had to sub to all these restock twitter feeds and this app called Hotstock. The second they go on sale, you gotta be on the site. I made sure to make profiles for all the main sites (Walmart, Target, Gamestop, Best Buy, Costco) and had address/payment info ready to go on them. It's difficult but not impossible.

Yes, there's that route also. Most the people on Ebay don't want to make anything less than like 300 profit but it's possible to get lucky on an auction. If I get an opportunity to get another (which I might now that I have this elaborate setup) I'll probably scalp it to get some of my money back on the other one. I'm already seeing the bundle I just got on Ebay for $1200.

I overpaid a wee bit, but I'm willing to do that right now, given the situation. Like Seph, mine was on its last leg as it is in the main room, and thereby used for the entire family for TV and stuff too.


I paid about ~$100 extra, but the seller included free overnight shipping + the OG purchase receipt for warranty stuff.

I paid 720 but it came with extra controller, Hitman 3, AC Valhalla, 3 months of Xbox live gold, and a 20 giftcard to gamestop. More than I wanted to pay but not a bad haul.

Good titles too. Not sure if you like the AC formula of the past couple years, but there is a SHIT ton of content. As a fellow dad, you'll fall in love with quick resume. The only exception are games that require an online component (Monster Hunter World, Division, shit like that).


Happy gaming, my dude.

The game is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and is a beat-em-up similar in gameplay style to the old NES and SNES beat-em-up games. At the moment, only a release for PC (Steam) has been announced although the studio stated it will also be released for consoles.

I'd buy that Turtles game in a heartbeat.

Looks 100x better than that Turtles game Platinum Games made and I got suckered into buying. God, that was horrible.

that shit looks just like more turtles in time and that is a great thing. If you told me that game came out in the mid 90's as a direct follow up just based on that footage I would totally buy it. Can not wait for this one.

GameStop's fortunes did indeed improve in the short-term, thanks to the release of next-gen platforms PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, which brought a serious boost to the retailer's fourth quarter for the year 2020-2021. In the long-term, however, GameStop had a difficult year, with an overall 21% decline in sales, leading to a loss in the region of $215 million USD. The recent "GameStonks" debacle - which saw online traders purposefully drive up GameStop stock cost in order to price out opportunists - no doubt lead to further headaches for the company's accountancy.

* For those interested in buying or playing Balan Wonderworld and have medical issues with epilepsy, Square Enix strongly recommends that you download and install the Day 1 patch first before playing the game since a bug was recently discovered causing that type of issue to happen in the game.

Several more notable developers recently left Sony's Japan Studio as part of the company's current restructuring process for their Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan branch.

Thursday had the director of the Demon Souls Remake for PS5 leave while Wednesday had both the art director of the Gravity Rush series and the senior producer of Bloodbourne departing.

"After 24 years at Sony and 18 of those in Japan, yesterday was my last day at [Sony Japan Studio]," said Moore in an emotional goodbye on Twitter. "I will miss the great creative spirit and camaraderie of the studio that was a huge part of my life. Time to seek out new and exciting opportunities!!"

Shinsuke Saito announced his departure from SIE Japan in a very succinct message on Twitter earlier this morning. Saito is an artist, animator, and character designer, responsible for the creation of popular protagonists such as Kat from the world-bending 2012 Gravity Rush. Saito was also art director for 2017 sequel Gravity Rush 2.

Also leaving SIE Japan is Kentaro Motomura, who has had the prestige and good fortune to be involved with the development of titles such as Bloodborne, Wild Arms, Dark Cloud, and Everybody's Golf. While Motomura did not note any specific plans, he intends on continuing in the field of game development.

New game from the creator of Final Fantasy is out..... but only on Apple Arcade (boooooooooooooooooo).

Has music from the one and only Nobuo Uematsu.


Guess they built actual dioramas for the world. Fucking cool and I hope it comes to other platforms. The ability to curve spells with touch screen controls is fucking neat.
