Sony may be (publicly) disinterested in Netflix. Petulantly so. But that doesn’t mean Netflix aren’t interested in the PS3, as this recent survey attests. If the above survey looks familiar, that’s because it’s identical to the Wii survey we saw the other day. Only they swapped out “Wii” and put “PlayStation 3” in there instead.…
God of War III has been at GDC in playable form. But with rules. People could see the game, but weren’t allowed to film it. Silly rules. This is the internet! Somebody has filmed some God of War III gameplay footage, and done us all a favour by uploading it to YouTube. Excuse the shaky…
Japan loves Dragonball. Japan loves the PSP. Japan does not love PSP title Dragonball Evolution. The game is based on the Hollywood flick Dragonball Evolution, which is all kinds of stupid. Japan has turned its nose up at the PSP game. Dragonball games traditionally sell exactly well in Japan, the one movie inspired one hasn’t.…
Microsoft used to publish lots of PC games. Now, though, they mostly don’t. Sure, there’s Gears of War, and a three years late port of Halo 2, but aside from that? Not much. And it doesn’t look like there’ll be much in the foreseeable future, either. The company’s internal Flight Simulator team has been canned.…
*tap* *tap* *tap* Is this thing on? Because game designer Hideo Kojima has something to announce. First and foremost, Kojima is best known for creating stealth series Metal Gear Solid. That doesn’t mean you should pigeonhole him as an action guy. In a GDC interview, he states: Well, to give you maybe a surprise, people…
My, how things change. Last we heard about the Resident Evil 5 comic series, it would be revealing Chris Redfield’s “dark burden”. Now? It’s got nothing to do with Redfield. Or any other RE characters. Instead, this prequel to the events of the latest Resident Evil game introduces two new characters (both BSAA agents), in…
As Blu-ray movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete readies for release, Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura talks about the film and the franchise. As has been previous announced, Square Enix has gone through and amped up Advent Children for this HD release. Fan favorite FFVII has been revisited multiple times with the Compilation of Final…
The “spaces” that come with Home are…well, they’re fairly basic. The service’s real potential lies in spaces that can do more, like the Warhawk Command Centre. Thankfully, lots more new spaces are on their way. Sony’s US director of PlayStation Home, Jack Buser, says “you’ll see about three new spaces launched a month – I’ll…
Turned-based strategy computer game Empire: Total War has been beleaguered with issues since launch. There have been crashes to the desktop, or corruptions in your game that stop campaign progression. Loads of users on Valve’s content delivery system Steam have been having problems with the game, and Valve has been reticent on the issues. Until…
Last month, Bungie said a teary farewell to Halo 3. Or so we thought. Instead, it was just a teary…something else, because Bungie have no intentions of leaving the best-selling game behind. Speaking with IGN at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Bungie’s Allen Murray has said “Halo 3 took two and a half…
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is giving a GDC keynote. According to the rumors, he’s announcing a new game. According to Kojima, he’s not. “I’m not going to be talking about new titles or anything,” he told website 1Up. “I’ll leave that for sometime later.” Though, Kojima said he would try to keep his…
Contest time! We’re giving away a game couch and an Xbox 360. Want to win? Better start trashing talking. For the next 24 hours, the comments section in this post will be a trash talking smorgasbord. But not any trash talking smorgasboard, a board game trash talking smorgasboard. Woot. We’ll pick the ten best trash…
We got a quick look at Crytek’s new engine the other day, but it was small, and it was grainy. Didn’t really do the thing justice. So today, we’ll take another look. This extended clip makes the whole thing look a lot like Crytek’s last engine (the one Crysis ran on), doesn’t it? That’s because,…
Otomedius Gorgeous!, Konami’s cleavage-heavy entry in the Gradius spin-off series, gets something off its chest with new downloadable content. The Xbox 360 port of the arcade original features three-player coop, the ability to upload and download replay data via Xbox LIVE, and a versus mode that lets the Otomedius girls take on bosses from previous…
Look, we love Uncharted. And we’re all looking forward to Uncharted 2. But damned if this isn’t the best-looking PS3 game of 2009, if not graphically, then in terms of looking fun.
The Xbox 360 went on sale in Japan in December 2005. The console was met by a largely indifferent Japanese game buying public. But, bit-by-bit and RPG-by-RPG, the console has started doing decent enough. According to online reports, the consoles current sales total in Japan is hovering dangerously close to the one million mark. During…
Activision and Infinity Ward capped off tonight’s Game Developers Conference Awards with the first trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Tim Schafer described it as the complete opposite of baby pictures. The trailer starts with the Infinity Ward logo, with background noise on a green waveform turning into a series of human shaped…
Roid is a “non-console” from developer Level 5, but rather, a web portal used by the dev to sell PC and mobile games. The new issue of Famitsu hints at what to expect. According to the article, “A surprise, big title is also slated to appear.” Below that is a picture of classic Japanese role-playing-game…
The biggest problem with the PSP isn’t the handheld’s lack of quality games. It’s the handheld’s current reliance on making you buy, and use, those awful UMDs. But later this year, that will change. Sony’s John Koller says that, by the end of the year, Sony will be making a lot more PSP games available…
The Game Developers Choice Awards are about to kick off, with Megan Scavio and Simon Carless warming up the crowd for a night full of Tim Schafer jokes. Should be a smashing time. While neither is as funny as Tim Schafer, we appreciate all their hard work in making GDC and the GDC Awards show…
