Ubisoft do really want to keep stringing the series out I guess. As long as Revelations is good, I can live with it.

It would just be nice to get AC3 proper at some point this decade.

Valve's boss Gabe Newell clarifies reports about Valve ending its focus on single player games in favor of multiplayer games.

The current goal of the studio is trying to add social features to their games to go along with the tradition of Valve's focus on single player experiences. The studio doe not want to just tack on multiplayer features just for the sake of having multiplayer at the cost of the single player experience.

Quote:
I think what we’re trying to talk about is the fact that, not that we’re not doing single-player games. Portal 2 was a pretty good example of what we’ve learned over the years in terms of how to create those experiences. It’s more that we think we have to work harder in the future, that entertainment is inherently increased in value by having it be social, by letting you play with your friends, by recognizing that you’re connected with other people.

That’s the thing that we’re trying to say, is that, single-player is great but we also have to recognize that you have friends, and we wanna have that connected as well. So, it’s not about giving up on single-player at all, it’s like saying, we actually think that there’s a bunch of features and capabilities that we need to add into our single-player games to recognize the socially connected gamer.
Portal 2 was the test game by Valve to see if their "social features" could work within Valve's current philosophy of making games and as a stepping stone for bigger features such as more Steam-integration and Cloud-based applications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) officially recognizes video games as art and is willing to fund the development of video games as long as the company itself is a non-profit organization.

The move comes after the NEA renamed its program from "Arts on Television and Radio" into the more generic "Arts in Media" as a way to cater to more forms of art and entertainment. This move also could impact California's debate on the idea of video games as art vs censorship of "violent" games and any potential future Supreme Court case involving this situation.

Thumbs up
Love the sound of Valves vision. I know a lot of the guys there are fans of Demon Soul's, so I would not be surprised to see some crazy asymmetric multiplayer in a future game.

Luckily, they aren't applying this to the half-life series. I like that they are focusing on multiplayer experiences, but half-life needs to be mainly a single player experience.

For the most part. Sold like 90% of my games. Still have a few, and if a new Half-Life comes out this century I will probably grab that, but I haven't played very much at all the last few months.

Some interesting stuff and tidbits revealed from Activision's financial report for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.

Activision confirms Bungie will not be making an appearance at this year's E3. Bungie responded by saying they are busy working on a new project with some help from Activision and felt the hype for the game would be counter-productive at this stage in the game's development.

Modern Warfare 3 will debut at E3 to go along with the official revelation in gaming magazines around the same time. The game will make use of the "Call of Duty Online" plan worked on by Beachhead studio. The idea is to integrate the game and community much better while also making it easier for Activision to send map packs and fixes. Last year Activision had plans to make this a pay-to-play service but their studios convinced them to make this a free feature for all users.

Activision also claimed more people play Call of Duty Black Ops online than use Facebook on average every day with Black Ops getting about 58 minutes per day compared to 55 for Facebook. Their stat only counts since the first map pack was released on February 1st and not since the game was released in November of last year.

Damn, hoping Bungie would announce their game at E3.

Who exactly is making Modern Warfare 3 for Activision?

Infinity Ward with the help of the new studios Activision recently bought (Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games) along with Activision themselves. Add in Beachhead studio and its about 4-5 studios working on the game.

The reason is due to lack of manpower at IW and letting those other studios get used to the CoD franchise. Also if rumors are true, they might also be working on the next Nintendo console version of the game (Treyarch probably would be helping with that one).

Treyarch might also be working on the Wii's version of Modern Warfare 2 if Activision follows the same schedule like with MW 1 on the Wii.

I don't understand why they would put MW2 on the Wii with Black Ops already out. It's the basic new hotness and old and busted principle.

Same reason why MW 1 went on the Wii when World at War was out mainly due to Infinity Ward not willing to make a Wii version while Activision wanted more money and knew Treyarch could work with the Wii structure.

The bigger surprise was how Treyarch was able to port a modified version of the MW engine when Infinity Ward said it was impossible and not worth the time.

Treyarch are stand-up guys. Can't help but feel they can do better things than buffer an annual shooter.

I think IW splitting up is the best thing that could happen for them.

Well they weren't fans of that team, and I don't think Treyarch digs how much marketing gets behind MW versus their CoDs.

I just want them to make another Spider-Man.

I was thinking it would mean we could talk to people over XBL while they aren't on an Xbox.

Talking to someone on their PC while you are on your 360 or Windows phone.

Acknowledging one (or two) things SoulCalibur has become known for, SC5 director Daishi tweeted some kind of breast chart from the design room.



It would appear they have something against a certain measurement, and many of the females will still be heavy chested.

Note: All head models are identified, no hints at new characters.

Beta sign-up to Spy Party. Looks like on of the more intriguing multiplayer games coming out. One players a sniper looking into a party and he's got as many bullets as players. The other players have to blend into the party and complete objectives like bugging the room. Looks damn fun.

http://www.spyparty.com/beta-sign-up/

It's following the Minecraft model though, so expect to pay $15 to get in.

The rumored upcoming Alan Wake game expected to arrive around late 2011 to TBA 2012 has been confirmed to not be a sequel nor a DLC chapter or episode.

The game is expected to be either a prequel or a possible "expansion" to the events from the first game but also as a way for people who didn't play Alan Wake to understand the story and characters without needing to play the first game.

Quote:
Fans of the franchise will be excited to learn that yes, more Wake is coming! But to be absolutely certain to avoid confusion, this next Wake installment will not be Alan Wake 2. And neither will it be DLC.

The rest we're saving for our official announcement when we'll actually show you.

It's something that'll definitely give more to the Wake fans out there, but just as importantly, this installment will also give an opportunity for players who aren't familiar with the franchise to finally jump on board.

We can't wait to show you more, bear with us. Release dates, platforms and pricing are unconfirmed as of yet, but Fall 2011 is probably a good guess.
More info for the game might be shown at E3 2011 but nothing has been confirmed as of now.

Activision confirms a new Bond game will be arriving later this year and it will not be a movie-game to go along with the new Bond film which is expected to arrive in 2012.

The story is expected to be an original story that won't be related to the upcoming film and Raven Software, who worked on a "stealth" prototype of the game, is working on the new Bond game.

Untitled DBZ Game (Let's call it Raging Blast 3... or Tenkaichi 6):



Either way it seems the Tenkaichi/Raging Blast system returns. And good, because I'm sick of the DBZ games that try to make a legit fighting game out of the franchise. This engine represents DBZ better.

Namco Bandi deciding to go a different route with pre-order bonuses by making the collector's edition of Dark Souls the bonus instead of a generic in-game item or character done by other companies. Dark Souls is considered the spiritual successor of Demon Souls which was available on PS3 last year.

As an extra bonus, the collector's edition will be priced the same as the regular game and not the extra $10-$20 done for most collector's editions as well.

Besides the game itself, the edition comes with "an art book, behind the scenes videos, mini strategy guide, and a download of the game’s soundtrack all in a nice metal case."

The game is still set for an October 2011 release date on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

I've heard the reason why nothing after DQ 3 is mainly due to how badly the series was handled in the US after the NES games (not translated or came out years later on different systems) and the first 3 games form the original story while the others are a new story or set.

DQ 6 didn't get a US release until this year on the DS and since its still selling well, Square-Enix wouldn't want to hurt its sales. DQ 4 was also on the NES but was the start of another story arch which wouldn't make sense to have it by itself. US never got DQ 5 until the DS version 2 years ago.

Even still, I'm guessing it's going to be a full price disc, despite the fact that all of these games are hella old with no touch ups.

With Mortal Kombat's recent release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, there's renewed interest in the games that started it all.

Good news, then, that Warner Bros. today announced the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, a compilation of the Mortal Kombat Trilogy from the 1990s. The collection will include Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. The arcade versions of the games will be used in this compilation.

The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will be available late this summer on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and PC. It will run you $9.99 (or 800 Microsoft Points).

The success of making Assassin's Creed into an annual franchise has Ubisoft considering doing the same with a few of their other big franchises. As of now only the Rabbids and Assassin's Creed are the major series that get games each year.

Quote:
"What is impressive with the release year after year of Assassin's Creed is our ability to deliver every time with a high level of innovation and creativity in a large and very diverse open world," boasted Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot on Ubisoft's fiscal year results call with investors today. "There is no other open world console game that is coming on a yearly basis. This is achieved through great execution by providing more resources and by putting in place a very compelling network of leads and associate studios."

"We are applying the very [same] product template to our other strong franchises to bring them back to Assassin's Creed blockbuster profitable status," said Guillemot.
It is assumed if Ubisoft does expand more series into the annual phase, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon would defiantly get the special treatment. Ubisoft did mention in another report they want to make their Ghost Recon series into the "Call of Duty" killer.

The next Nintendo console will also play a huge role in this new plan due to Ubisoft mentioning how easy it would be to "port" Xbox 360 and PS3 games with little effort and bring their big series to the console as another source for income.
