Oh shut the fuck up. Not you, but whoever wrote this article. I mean, come on. Yes, it's Sony's fault all this happened because they removed features. Wait, didn't they remove Linux because it was getting hacked? Hmmmm. I'd call that protecting its IP. I'm sorry, I just hate how some people try to justify the hackers' actions.

Based on an internal memo sent around EA Sports studios, EA is looking to open up a new studio for their EA Sports line while also showing some concern about the losses of key members from the Madden franchise.

EA is planning on opening a new studio in Austin, Texas but are still looking for a good spot that would be both convenient and large enough to develop their games. This new studio's main task would involve the recently planned idea of "persistent" experiences to EA Sports games in regard to both online-related and career mode related stuff.

Also revealed in the memo is the need to focus on a new outlook for the Madden series due to the loss of a few key contributors to the series. The goal is to make a stronger push to keep the remaining staff members critical to the series while offering a lot more promotions to newer people.

The idea behind this move is to both ensure no more critical people leave to competing companies and bring in new perspectives for their Madden series and potentially the other sports series in the EA Sports line.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Once Xbox 360 exclusive title Limbo will be heading to PSN in the near future based on a leak involving a South Korean ratings board showing the title as part of the upcoming games for the PS3.

2) As a follow-up to yesterday's Sony story, Sony is now one step closer to replacing Stringer as CEO after Hirai was promoted today to Chairman of Sony. The move comes just a day after shareholders made a strong push to replace Stringer due to a 30% drop in stocks and negative image the company gained in recent weeks.

3) Blizzard reveals they are currently working on a new MMO game called Titan that according to them will be "ambitious, awesome, and casual" in comparison to their work on WoW and the upcoming Diablo III game. The game is expected to arrive within the next 1-2 years but not until the current the expansion packs for WoW and work on Diablo III are done.

Pretty much.

Right now I'd grab Recatter, Stubbs, Freedom Force and the two Bit.Trip games.

Tempted by Test Drive Unlimited 2 as well.

Holy shitballs at this sale already.

If I didn't already have the GTAs before 4 on PC through Steam I would so get the Rockstar collection.

Also, no excuse not to get the BTTF game now.

Only days after the Supreme Court struck down the California case involving the idea of violent games needing censorship or being seen as free speech, the US Senate is currently debating and could potentially pass a new bill that will make video game streaming illegal.

The bill focuses more on people streaming game footage than actually streaming or uploading files to pirate a game and its vagueness treats video game streaming the same as streaming a movie that is shown in theaters.

Also considered illegal would be uploading your own playthroughs and walkthroughs for a game similar to a Lets Play or streaming playing games for charity.

Quote:
The US Senate has put forth a new bill ( S. 978 ), which if passed could potentially label people who stream video game content (or other copy righted material) onto Youtube or other sites like Blip or Justin.tv as criminals.

Under the "Anti-Streaming" bill, those who are caught streaming copyrighted material (films, music, games etc) in a "performance" that becomes popular and makes over $2,500 can either face some rather hefty fines or even up to five years in prison!

What constitutes as a "performance?" Well, Let's Plays and Live Streams would likely fall into that category. I say likely because the wording of the bill is incredibly vague and could probably mean just about anything, which is why many in the video reviews community are scared that their content could also potentially lead to criminal charges.
The move is part of a larger push to make streaming of copyrighted material illegal with earlier in the year the FBI going after and shutting down numerous tv and movie streaming websites.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Ubisoft will be pulling TMNT: Turtles in Time Remake completely from PSN and at a later date from XBLA after the company revealed their license for the PSN version of the game ends after June 30 with the XBLA version expiring at a later unannounced date. To squeeze any last chance sales, Ubisoft has the game 50% off on the XBLA Marketplace.

2) Capcom announces Dead Rising 2: Off the Record now has a release date of October 11 in the US/Canada and October 14 for Europe. The game is still set for a $40 price tag.

3) Nintendo of America kills off any hopes of Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandroa's Tower coming to the US after refusing to publish the game in America. The news comes days after Operation Rainfall began its drive of convincing NoA to bring the Japan-only game to the US by the use of petitions and requests.

I was in the same boat last month. If you've got an AMD motherboard from about 2005 on, check for BIOS updates. I got a quad core Athlon 2 working fine in my mobo.

So Crysis 1 is coming to the 360.

The rating board of Korea let slip and EA Korea confirmed it.

I doubt it's Korea only.

In a somewhat surprising announcement, Media Molecule announced during a gaming convention in Spain that it is planning on ending the LittleBigPlanet series once the Vita version of the game is completed.

The official response is the studio wants to break away from the series to create some new IPs but didn't explain if the reason was due to them getting "bored" making the games or didn't want to expand the physics and gameplay with future games in the series.

This also continues the tradition of Media Molecule only working on a series for a specific console and not wanting to expand the series to a new console (or handheld) besides a port.

The announcement also appears to have been done without Sony knowing beforehand and could leave Sony with needing to find a new studio to work on the series if they decide on more games in the future for the series.

Microsoft along with law enforcement have started to investigate how an early non-beta playable copy of Gears of War 3 surfaced on the Internet, specifically Youtube, after it was found that the videos were showing off unapproved gameplay footage of the single player.

Microsoft also confirmed that the footage is indeed legit although they did state "This content is not from a final build" and didn't not explicitly say how recent the stolen build of the game was.

The stuff was also confirmed to have been possibly taken from a development kit instead of the traditional way of leaks occurring after discs are printed.

The leak is assumed to have come from inside Epic Games studio with either an actual programmer for the game or one of the on-site beta testers providing the leaked content.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Naughty Dog hints that their next project after Uncharted 3 is finished could be a new Jax and Daxter game and would be for the PS3.

2) EA reveals it is planning to reveal some huge announcements at their Summer Showcase event along with having playable demos of Madden 12, Battlefield 3, and The Sims 3 Pets.

3) Based on rumors from Tawain, the PS4 could be making a surprise debut at E3 2012 along with the next Xbox console and if the company manufacturing the new console is to be believed, the PS4 will also have Kinect-like abilities. Also rumored were production for the console is expected to start in late 2011 with a release date of late 2012.

Rockstar preparing to drop both financial and working support with Team Bondi after recent news revealed the company was furious with how badly Team Bondi mismanaged the company's money involving the L.A. Noire project.

Rockstar has already refused to both publish and finance the next project currently in development by Team Bondi with the final break-up expected to occur pretty soon.

The biggest reason for Rockstar's decision was due to the increasing "fighting" and resentment between Rockstar and Team Bondi's founder. The main issues ended up being Team Bondi refusal to make any changes Rockstar felt were needed and the studio's habit of firing and hiring too many people multiple times during development.

Quote:
"Rockstar also made a huge contribution to the development. Their producers were increasingly influential over the last two years of the game's development, and overruled many of the insane decisions made by Team Bondi management. At a lower level, Rockstar also pitched in with programmers, animators, artists, QA, etc. Part of the conflict between Team Bondi and Rockstar was due to Rockstar's frustration with Team Bondi's direction, and eventually Team Bondi's management in turn resented Rockstar for taking lots of creative control. It's also worth pointing out that Rockstar used to be very keen on making Team Bondi something like 'Rockstar Sydney' – the more they worked with Team Bondi management, the more they came to understand that this was a terrible idea."
The decision to pull their support from the studio also comes after recent news of Rockstar being completely blamed for the poor working conditions and the large list of contributing names missing from the credits list of L.A. Noire.

Sony confirms it will have its own Pass-system similar to other companies and will be called PSN Pass.

Sony also mentioned that unlike other Pass-systems, each PSN Pass is game-specific and not a general online-only restriction. No actual details on what would be restricted for non-online multiplayer games was given by the company.

So far only PS3 games were announced to be getting the PSN Pass with a very big chance PS Vita will also be getting the same service at a later date.

No pricing or other details regarding PSN Pass was revealed although the company did mention it will start once Resistance 3 is released. Non-PSN Pass countries will be locked out of content until Sony updates or brings the Pass to those areas.

Namco Bandi is suing Projekt Red's parent company Optimus SA over an issue regarding publishing rights for the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher II in Europe.

While the US could still have the Xbox 360 version released on time, the European version of the game might be delayed for a while.

The issue revolves around Namco not being informed of THQ being awarded of publishing rights in Europe for the Xbox 360 version when Namco and Bandi currently hold the PC and Xbox 360 rights of the game.

According to Namco, they were never informed that THQ was bidding and won rights to the game which prevented Namco or Atari from bidding. Namco also assumed their rights to the PC version and Atari's US rights would have carried over to Europe.

Namco also owns the European branch of Atari while allowing the US branch to be a separate publisher instead of Namco publishing both the PC and Xbox 360 in the US.

Quote:
Naturally, Optimus and CD Projekt Red believe both are in the clear.

"Namco's claims are unfounded," reads the statement.

As a consequence of the lawsuit, Namco Bandai is withholding payments of 1,225,000 Euros (roughly $1.75 million dollars).

"In the opinion of the [Optimus] management board, Namco consequently claim the desire to continue cooperation in the distribution [of] CDP RED products after the recent release of games released on PC, due to the expected potential sales of this title for console Xbox 360," concluded the company. (Also, I blame Google Translate for the awkward phrasing.)

Both the Soul Calibur publisher and THQ have not yet responded to requests for comment.

Games collector ‘Ahans76’ has turned an innocent pastime into something bordering a dangerous obsession.

If his games collection (pictured below) looks to be a little on the large side that’s because it features every single PlayStation 2 game ever released in North America. Oh, and they’re all unplayed first editions in factory-sealed condition too.

It all began innocently enough when Ahans76's mum bought a PlayStation 2 console from a catalogue. 'Ridge Racer 5' was his first game for the system and, yes, it still holds a special place in his heart and his gargantuan library. Well, it’s in there somewhere, we're assured.




The rest is 19 years of history, a collection that exceeds 1850 PS2 games and an investment that's likely to be somewhere in the region of £40,000. Some games have been harder to find than others too. Ahans76’s lengthy search for a sealed copy of ‘Moto GP’ only ended when an innocent eBay trader in the UK let it go for a fiver - a fraction of the amount he was prepared to pay. The majority of the rest of his games were bought at the regular retail price or thereabouts, though.

With all the effort and cash dedicated to fulfilling his quest it’s surprising to learn that Ahans76 has the time or energy left to actually play any of the games he owns. Nevertheless, he lists ‘Final Fantasy XI’, ‘Dragon Quest 8’ and the ‘Uncharted’ series for PS3 as his absolute favourites.

Ahans76's journey won’t end once he has every single PlayStation 2 game - a few new ones are still released every year. He’s currently trying to complete the Neo Geo and PlayStation Portable catalogues. Perhaps it’s a blessing that he seems to have overlooked the Wii, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS. So far, that is...
