They opened the US studio in Santa Monica, California.

The good news is for the first project, the US studio is letting fans determine which game gets localized first out of a large list of Japan-only Level-5 games.

EA's relationship with Valve takes another hit as another EA game has been pulled from Steam.

Dragon Age II has been pulled with no official reason given by either side but rumored reports are saying it might be due to EA's refusal to allow Steam the ability to sell the DLC packs for the game.

EA is trying the same tactic they did with Crysis 2 in having DLC packs available for sale on Origin but not on Steam while also making demands that their games on Steam have full access to stuff not on Steam servers.

Valve is upset EA continues to violate their terms of service with Steam and does not want to keep repatching Steam every time EA wants to add a new game or feel like changing the previous agreement. They are also upset how EA continues its refusal of sharing any DLC revenue while demanding Valve allows all stuff from Origin and restricting what Steam is allowed to do.

Valve previously patched Steam to allow Mass Effect 2 and other games (mainly Free-To-Play) access to DLC content not on Steam servers and it appears Valve doesn't want to go through the hassle of patching Steam again just to please EA every time.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) EA announces the Madden 12 demo will arrive on August 8 for XBLA and PSN and feature last season's NFC title game of Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers. EA also confirmed the new CBA will not take effect with this year's Madden Franchise mode and they still plan for a roster update to be ready when the game is released.

2) After previously dropping and patching out the DRM requiring a constant internet connection, Ubisoft reveals Driver: San Francisco on the PC will have the same type of DRM returning. The game will also be the 1st Ubisoft game on consoles to use the Uplay Passport for online modes.

3) Konami delays Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater on the 3DS from the original Fall 2011 release date to now a TBA 2012 date. The company did not give a reason for the delay but stressed the Japanese version is still on schedule for a Fall 2011 release.

Late Night News
THQ has killed off the Red Faction series and no longer is willing to even consider working on future games for the series.

Poor sales of the recent games and lack of consumer interest in the series was given as the reason for THQ to pull the plug.

Quote:
Brian Farrell, the THQ chief executive, told investors that "we do not intend to carry forward with that franchise in any meaningful way."

Lol, EA.

While I'm not blind to say that Valve are saints, I'm glad they're doing this and I hope EA takes a hit.

I was looking at pre-ordering The Old Republic, but Origin is the single most expensive place to buy it, they claimed that their digital copies were limited (by what? The digital delivery unicorns? Fuck off) AND they wanted an extra £5 for the honor of pre-ordering. Not a £5 deposit, an extra £5.

If you want EA PC games, grab them from here: http://www.cdkeyhouse.com . They're usually better than half price.

I would say that's definitely a joke pic, but after watching a documentary on WoW addicts, chances are it's not.

Capcom's fiscal report for the last quarter has shown the company's profits declined by 57% in comparison to the same quarter last year and overall revenue for this year is down by 23%.

In terms of actual profits, the company earned just $4.3 million for the quarter.

While the company is happy with the current sales of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, they are blaming the lack of new games as the main cause of the decline.

Even with the 80% increase in profits from their mobile division compared to last year, it wasn't enough to prevent a drop.

While it wasn't mentioned in the report, the company earlier had strong plans to boost the end of the quarter's revenues based on the Prototype paid demo for Mega Man Legends 3 game. The delay and eventual cancellation of that game prevented the expected boost Capcom was expecting.

Capcom is still expecting Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, and the two new Resident Evil games will provide the majority of sales and boost for their next quarter.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) In an update to yesterday's EA-Valve news, EA is now completely blaming Valve for the mess involving Dragon Age II's regarding its DLC not avaliable on Steam. EA said "We hope to work out an agreement to keep our games on Steam," even though in reality neither side is willing to discuss a way to end the situation with the biggest issue being EA wanting Origin to replace Steam.

2) Insomniac details the Resistance 3 beta will start on August 4 for early access invites (SOCOM 4), followed by European PS+ users on August 10, and then US/Canada PS+ users on August 23. The beta will have 2 maps and only Deathmath and Chain Reaction for game modes as well as level 20 cap for experience.

3) Nintendo announces some Mario related 3DS news with the next Mario Kart officially named as "Mario Kart 7" and will arrive this December for the 3DS. Super Mario 3DS now has the official name of "Super Mario 3D Land" and will arrive this November for the 3DS.

Austin, TX – In a move likely to shock absolutely no one, Devolver Digital CFO and massage parlor enthusiast Fork Parker has revealed that plans for his company’s digital download game service, codenamed “Krundle”, have been abandoned.

“I think we could have revolutionized how I make a shitload of money,” said CFO Fork Parker. “But the reality is Steam is an amazing digital platform. That’s where we want to distribute our top-tier titles like Serious Sam 3: BFE to generate the kind of revenue it takes to buy things like velvet-covered jet skis. Holy crap, did I just invent those?”

The proposed service was set to radically change the digital distribution marketplace with features not seen in any other online offering:

Unconventional preorder incentives like in-game nachos and undetonated Cold War era munitions

Free-to-Play-for-Fifty-Bucks games wherein the consumer is free to play the game once it is purchased for $50

Complimentary Portuguese adult films with purchases of $200 or more
While breakthrough concepts found in the now aborted download service may never see the light of day, Devolver Digital pledges to move the industry forward and keep bringing genuinely unique games to the hungry masses.

“I guess consumers could also sign-up for EA’s Origin service if they are into 10-year-old train simulators,” claimed Fork. “But you can be sure those sons of bitches will never deliver in-game nachos.”

More nonsense can we found at http://twitter.com/devolverdigital on the internets.

The fallout from the disappointing financial report from Nintendo continues as the company's president, Iwata, takes full blame for the situation and will be taking a 50% pay cut to go along with reduced bonuses regardless if Nintendo rebounds later in the year.

Also announced was Miyamoto along with other high executives will be taking a 20-30% pay cut while the former president of Nintendo has lost over $300 million in stock wealth due to the news.

Iwata announced the company's drastic cut in price for the 3DS was to prevent another "Gamecube'' situation where he felt the company waited too long to react to the initial decline with the Gamecube until it was too late.

Besides the price cut for the 3DS and the Ambassador Program for free games, the company also announced it is reworking the Virtual Console for the 3DS to allow LAN and potentially online multiplayer starting with the NES games on the service. This is a reverse of initial philosophy of having the games be played in their classic or original state with the Wii.

The price drop has upset some retailers in Japan who have announced they are refusing to sell their current stock or order any new stock until the price cut takes effect on August 11.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Level-5 is considering expanding the Professor Layton series beyond handhelds by potentially inlcuiding the Wii U with the main interest occurring due to the stylus on the Wii U controller. The studio didn't mention if the games will only be HD ports from the DS games or include new games in the series.


2) EA announces it has no interest in 3D technology for their games with the main concern of their audience is not concerned for 3D at the moment. This news contradicts earlier announcements of the company supporting the 3D on the 3DS as a new way to play.

3) In a report from Japan, the PS Vita will not be using a custom CPU chip made by Sony as initially expected but instead from Sony's main rival Samsung. The CPU is expected to be a 45 nm chip and is also expected to be used by Samsung in their cellphones as a way to give them an edge over the Vita and other cellphones.

It's nice to see some people will still go down with the ship. An American CEO would take a multi-million dollar "golden parachute" and walk off scot-free, likely starting a new company while his old one burned.

EA's decision seems to be profit-driven.

Mortal Kombat and Black Ops don't destroy people's lives, and make them lose complete touch with reality.

Oh really? So that guy that died playing Halo 12 hours a day, every day, certainly didn't have his life ruined or anything. Right? There is people like that for every genre, just because it isn't focused on like it is with MMO's, doesn't mean it's just MMO's.

While EA's Frank Gibeau first hinted at a new ME project back at E3, even coyly playing along with speculation it may be on Battlefield 3's engine, Britain's Official PlayStation Magazine is out-and-out claiming that "the Frostbite 2 engine will pave the way for Mirror's Edge to make a free-running return."

Just to keep your feet on the ground, remember, there's been absolutely zero confirmation that Mirror's Edge 2 is even in development, let alone what engine it's using.

We've contacted EA for comment, and will update if we hear back.

The once cancelled True Crime: Hong Kong game will be reappearing as Square-Enix announced they have bought rights to the True Crime: Hong Kong game and will resume development and funding for the game.

Square-Enix will be re-branding the game itself and will have the original development team for the game, United Front Stduios, work in collaboration with their own London studio for development. The company did not reveal what they will be changing but they did mention how the majority of the stuff shown previously will most likely stay for the final game.

While Activision sold off the rights to the TC Hong Kong game, they still own the rights to the franchise and is expected to see how well consumers react to the new game before deciding on the series fate. The original reason Activision dropped the TC Hong Kong game was due to too much money spent during development and they felt the series wasn't able to reach Grand Theft Auto levels in sales and reception.

The game should still be expected at least for the PS3 and Xbox 360 with the original PC version unknown or any additional consoles added.

EA reveals their new EA Sports Season Ticket subscription plan officially starts today and Madden 12 will be the first game to use the service.

At the cost of $25, EA is allowing members early access to DLC at a 20% discount along with free access to all web content for their sports games. Gamestop was confirmed as the exclusive retailer to sell the Season Ticket pass in stores.

Madden 12 was revealed to allow members to download and play the game early on August 27 while non-members have to wait until the official release date of August 30 for the game.

As of now the plan will only be available on PSN and XBLA (2,000 MS Points).

Quote:
The pass covers Madden NFL 12, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, NCAA Football 12, FIFA 12, and NHL 12, providing players with early download access to the titles ahead of retail stores (you'll still have to make a trip out to the store on launch day, if you don't want a solely digital copy), a 20% discount on all downloadable content, and special free "web perks," which are as yet unspecified, save for FIFA, which will be getting Creation Center packs, with additional assets to build custom teams and tournaments.
The plan does not give a discount for the EA Online Pass nor a discount for sports games DLC released earlier in the year but under the '12 series (ex. NCAA 12). The accounts are also non-transferable unlike EA Accounts and the discounts only apply to the console the Season Ticket pass was purchased on.

The plan does not include the rumored persistent career-mode EA was rumored to be working on earlier. That plan is expected to be a separate subscription plan and won't arrive until 2012 at the earliest.

The online pass thing is gay, but so are madden fans. I don't mean they're gay in the bad sense, just that they love to chug massive amounts of cock.

As it's Madden (And other franchises, but mostly Madden), I expect the cock chuggers will send the message to EA that this is a good thing.

OMG, they didn't invent the technology completely by themselves? Fuck, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have been scamming console users for ages!

But Notch's had has been firmly up his ass since Minecraft became one of the big fetishes of the gaming community, so I'm not surpised to see "My assumptions are okay, their assumptions ARE A SCAM!!!!"

Even though Capcom dropped the plan to charge for the cancelled Prototype paid demo for Mega Man Legends 3, the company is still goinh through with the idea of charging consumers for demos as part of a new plan to raise money for the company.

The company is starting the new plan in Japan and for the time being only for upcomming 3DS games but could expand the plan to other consoles and regions in the near future.

The first game to use the new paid demo plan will be Nazo Waku Yakata and similar to Dead Rising 2, the "prequel" or intial chapter of the game will be sold seperatly to people who want to play part of the game early.

Similar to the original plans for the Prototype demo, Capcom is charging 200 Yen ($2.50) for the demo of the game.

It appears the main reason Capcom is going through with the new plan was due to the high demand of consumers willing to pay for the Prototype demo for Mega Man Legends 3 and the strong sales of the Case Zero "paid demo" from Dead Rising 2.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Based on a recent patent filing, Blizzard is rumored to be working on another expansion pack for World of Warcraft. The expansion could be named "Mists of Pandaria" based on the filing and would be turning an April Fool's joke into an actual game regarding the Pandarians in WoW.

2) In a meeting with investors, Nintendo reveals it is reworking their plans for the Wii U with the biggest concerns revolving on having a strong launch for the system and a flow of games to prevent another "3DS" situation. Also revealed was the initial price for both the system and controller is being rethought with the current push towards a lower price for both as a way to gain consumer trust back again and to prevent another early price drop due to weak sales if it was at a more expensive price.

3) The voice actor for GlaDOS from the Portal series leaked in a tweet Valve currently is working on another project in the Portal series and also a brand new game that will feature her voice.
