The boss of Ubisoft Toronto, Jade Raymond, announces the company is set to unveil the studio's first project which has been labeled as a "Triple A" title.
It appears the game will most likely be a new Splinter Cell game and not a brand new IP or series based on what was hinted in the announcement. Quote:

You mean they're not Capcpom?

I hope they keep the Conviction style gameplay for the new Splinter Cell. I know some hardcore fans didn't like it, because it was more mainstream gameplay (i.e. dumbed down), but I thought it was a lot of fun. Must have spent hours playing through deniable ops missions. It's just one of those games that made you feel like a total badass.
One thing I would change, is that enemies need to get a little nervous when you start taking out their comrades. It's kind of silly when an enemy is yelling out that sam is a pussy and going to die, when a dozen of his friends are lying dead around him. It was even more noticable since I played it right after Arkham Asylum which actually does have enemies who get scared. |

At only 15 dollars, I could definitely see this being a fake.

People are tripping over UMvC3X, even though it seems like it'll be what they wanted UMvC3 to be - a DLC expansion.
Whatever man, I wanna see those fucking characters. I take it this time there will be fan faves across the board. If this is true. |

Megaman should have been in the game from the beginning and it is fake but wouldn't put it past capcom anyways

Screw school, video games are going to start teaching us about American history. First Assassin's Creed 3, now Bioshock Infinite.

So, any speculations? I'm hearing people speculate that it could be the long awaited TimeSplitters 4, but I don't think Crytek would hype up a TimeSplitters game like that. Keeping it a secret and claiming that it's the "best kind of project they've ever done", but I'm hoping I'm wrong with that. I've been waiting on TimeSplitters 4 for years now. |

Meaning it won't blow people away when they announce it. You think TS4 and almost anything is a step down from that.

Yeah, I won't be surprised if it's some kind of COD style FPS war game. I'm sort of expecting it to be anyway.
If it is something like that, it'll just be a massive disappointment to me. |

Microsoft announces small changes are on its way in regards to Gamerscores as Xbox Live Arcade titles will be getting an increase from the standard 200 points possible to now a 400 points possible per arcade title.
No changes are expected to be done to retail games which will keep the 1000 points as a max and to DLC games which will still keep their own points and kept together with their retail counter-part. Quote:
The move is being done to please Gamerscore chasers who have felt either arcade titles provided way too few points or kept demanding for more increases. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...xbla-releases/ _______________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Ubisoft might be changing its mind on completly ending the Desmond story with Asassin's Creed III as the studio announces they are planning on keeping Desmond around for future main AC games. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-a-conclusion/ 2) Double Fine's Kickstarter fundraiser for their upcoming classic point-and-click PC adventure game has raised $2.8 million in funds with 1 day left in the fundraiser. http://www.screwattack.com/news/doub...3-million-mark 3) The Mojang-Bethesda lawsuit over the use of the term "Scrolls" has been settled with Bethesda gaining complete rights to the term "Scrolls" although Mojang will be allowed to use the name for their upcoming game. http://www.screwattack.com/news/moja...s-been-settled 4) A court has dismissed the majority of the fraud claims in a lawsuit by former Infinity Ward bosses against Activision with the remainder of the lawsuit still expected to go on trial on May 7. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ion-dismissed/ |

Why?! I should probably read the article.

Mine is 35G. I unlocked 1 in ME3 before I realized it. Hope it either gets added or lets me do it again. I will absolutely die if I miss out on "Mail Slot".

Kotaku says that MS says it should be fixed and, if it's not, try redownloading your profile.
I'll be trying that when I'm online later tonight. |

Back to normal, although I think I lost Mail Slot forever. The in game counter shows 10/10 kills completed, but I don't have the achievement. If I was going for 1000 I would be very upset.

According to Ono, the two part set for the Versus series involving Street Fighter and Tekken will be taking a lot longer than originally expected.
Either Capcom was assuming the entire set would be finished by a certain date or at least assumed Namco's turn with Tekken X Street Fighter would take about the same amount of time Capcom needed for SFxT. Instead the project might have added more years from its original estimate based on Ono's request for a status report from Namco which contained absolutely nothing. It was later revealed Namco did not have any basic design documents nor any idea of how they want their version of the game to be made. Quote:

Ono was joking, it is part of the kayfabe between him and Harada. TxSF revealed some assets months ago (Chun-Li stance and Shoryuken animation tests).
That source kinda missed the punchline big time. |

The current CEO of Epic Games and creator of the first Unreal Engine, Tim Sweeney, hints or implies there might be one last major console generation before the mobile market claims dominance over the video game industry.
He implied the console market has around 6-8 more years left of its dominance or around 1-2 more generations of consoles before mobile devices can both match and surpass anything capable on a console. Quote:

Looks interesting. No pausing during combat is the one thing that will either make or break this game.
