Platinum Games are counting down [Comments Off]
Happy new year, readers. I hope you all got drunk and did something stupid. I hope you didn’t get too drunk to forget about me.
Japanese developer Platinum Games apparently have something in the pipeline, as the dev behind “Bayonetta” and “MadWorld” is counting down to something. We’ll know in 5 days.
Capcom delays Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Monster Hunter Tri [Comments Off]
Japanese publisher Capcom has delayed 3 of its most anticipated titles to the next fiscal year, meaning “Super Street Fighter IV”, “Lost Planet” and “Monster Hunter Tri” will be released between April 2010 and March 2011.
The publisher cited the following reasons for the move:
- Avoid competing with the major titles that other companies plan to introduce
in the 4th quarter
- Preserve the value of Capcom’s titles and maximize sales volume
- Expand the lineup of titles in the next fiscal year and afterward
Basically: “Final Fantasy XIII” is the new “Modern Warfare 2″. Hell, I’m scared too.
Oh also, for kicks, the sales forecast for “Dark Void” has gone from 2 million to 600,000 in 6 months. That sure boosts people’s confidence in the quality of the title.
AP: Rock Band 2 is game of the decade [Comments Off]
Contrary to what you might believe, the Associated Press does cover gaming-news. Not only that, but they also managed to compile a fairly good top 10 of 2009 list (“Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” won that), but the top honor, being called AP’s Game of the Decade went to Harmonix’s “Rock Band 2″.
Here’s why:
“Harmonix Music Systems provided an entirely new type of video-game experience with “Guitar Hero,” giving all of us the chance to live out our rock-star dreams. “Rock Band 2″ is Harmonix’s fullest realization yet of that ideal – and the one game I keep coming back to whenever I just want to have fun.”
Fantastic choice. It’s also fairly cool to see that a niche title such as “Demon’s Souls” got a nod from such an established publication.
You can check out their full list here.
First Dead Space 2 art has snazzy suit [1]
Via GameInformer’s january cover reaches us the first piece of artwork to EA’s “Dead Space 2″. It doesn’t really show much, but it’s a nice picture to go with this week’s announcement.
That new suit sure looks stylish, doesn’t it? Too bad you’ll probably be seeing it from behind most of the time. Oh well!
EA frustrated with the Wii [Comments Off]
EA is a bit sad. Not just because they’re still bleeding money like crazy and had to let 1,300 people go, but also because their Wii games aren’t selling as well as they’d like.
John Riccitiello was whining about this in yersterday’s conference call:
“To be honest with you, I think the Wii platform has been a little weaker than we had certainly anticipated. And there is no lack of frustration to be doing that at precisely the time where we have the strongest third-party share. Frankly, I think they need more beats in the year than they get out of a first-party slate – to be able to have the Wii software platform perform as well as they would like. We are building the products that I think the most highly rated on the platform and at this point in time, generating the most revenue of any third-party platform.
Wii is where we are missing it and so I really do think that the opportunity exists to find different ways to partner with first party in this case to sort of help establish in the minds of the consumer legitimacy of some of these other brands when they are going out multiplatform because very, very few multiplatform titles are succeeding on the Wii.”
Here, Mr. Riccitiello, have some cheese with that. Ok, so here’s the deal: No one cares about your dumb Wii games. Keep making EA Sports Active and you’ll be golden. Every dollar wasted on another on-rails shooter is a dollar that could’ve gone towards someone’s salary — preferably one of those people you just fired.
Yes, there are 50 million Wii consoles out there, but most people have theirs either hacked or are busy deciding between “Raving Rabbids” and “Carnival Games” to play with their grandmother, bless her heart.
Oh, in totally unrelated EA news, you know what else is going to bomb, and bomb hard? “Skate 3″. Fuck “Skate 3″.
