"I mean I get a lot of, on Twitter or whatever, daily questions about Psychonauts 2. And I would love to do Psychonauts 2, I've actually pitched that to publishers several times and no-one has taken the bait so far" All that is currently stopping him is the financial aspect, he explains by saying that "I'd love to do that game, but I'd have to convince someone to just give me a few million dollars, that's all." But now Markus 'Notch' Persson has announced via twitter that he would love to hel...
""Later, Notch himself confirmed that he and Schafer were chatting.
'Me and @TimOfLegend are talking to each other via email, and he’s cool with me saying whatever I want about it,' he wrote once again on his Twitter account. 'He’s, like, super awesome.'""
"When it comes to the marketing side of things, box art has played almost as big a part of game sales as the design and programming of the titles themselves. In the early days of the industry, it wasn't uncommon for games to have imagery that conveyed completely unrealistic ideas of what the gameplay was actually like."
New rumors about Battlefront 3, the long fabled Star Wars game, have begun to circulate once more. This time with a little more evidence and supposedly it's coming this year.
Ubisoft has announced that Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc will be receiving a HD re-release next month. PSN will receive Rayman 3 HD on March 20 while XBLA will receive the game on March 21. On PSN and XBLA the title will be available for $9.99 and 800 Microsoft Points respectively.
The Star Wars license has been attached to several different genres of video games over the years. Some of the didn't work as well, but there were a few that were golden. Sadly, there are a few great games that LucasArts never revisited, so Push Start Select is highlighting the 5 games fans want to see again.
Some of Valve's most popular games are now available for purchase and download via Gamestop's Impulse PC digital download service. This is very rare as Valve has never allowed any of their titles to be published by other digital retailers. These titles include Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, The Orange Box, and Half-Life Complete. Despite these titles being available on Impulse, users will still need to register the games through Valve's Steam service in order to play them. With Impulse...
Though the Gamecube was by no means Nintendo's most successful console, that didn't stop it from having some truly great games. Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly runs down his ten favorite Nintendo Gamecube games.
Microsoft's French marketing manager stated in an interview that the company has no plans to release a new console in 2012. He stated that the Xbox 360 is not at the end of its useful life and the fact that Nintendo is releasing the Wii U does not mean Microsoft should rush out a new console just to compete.
"PushStartSelect: "I find stories with a female lead fascinating most of the time because it’s a good twist on your stereotypical story revolving around a guy character. A lot of key dynamics change, and emotions are brought about for various reasons. This isn’t to say they are weaker or anything like that, but different and its cool. So here are five female lead games that I think should see a return in some shape or form soon!""
EA Sports has announced that FIFA Street will feature in-game social networking allowing players to track opponents as well as capture and share game videos.
"We’ve all heard the legends of an NES cartridge that was only made for a Nintendo promotional event, or the old Atari 2600 game that was never mass produced, and now they’re worth thousands of dollars. If you got your hands on one of those limited run games decades ago you’d be able to sell it for a fortune today. Unfortunately, most games steadily drop in resale value from the minute they hit the market. Still, there are a few that actually increase in resale price after release, and many..."
It is rumored Microsoft plans to phase out their Microsoft Points system by the end of the year. All listings on Xbox Live and in the Windows Phone Marketplace will be all monetary based. This shift will put Microsoft on the same playing field as all of their competing companies and products.
Could GTA 3 & Vice City be coming to the ps3 after the ESRB re-rates the games specifically for the console? We take a look at the possibilities.....
Gaming legend Jason Rubin talks to Vivid Gamer about the making of Crash Bandicoot , the conflicts between developers and publishers, and the future of our industry. You don’t want to miss this.
"GamingUnion: "Although they haven't produced bucket loads of original IPs in their lifetime, Naughty Dog has still become a staple brand within the game industry. The IPs they've created have offered gamers the very best in terms of creativity and graphics and you'll be pushed to find someone who will disagree. With Crash Bandicoot, Jax and Daxter, and, of course, the Uncharted series under their belt, many would say Naughty Dog has got it made. In honor of the recent announcement of the Last..."
Gaming has hit a bit of a slump in terms of design and innovation. Endless sequels plague the release calendar, and will kill the industry. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened, but I welcome the fallout and eventual recovery that will come.
In this week's edition of Top 10 Tuesdays, Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly gives his list of the best voice actors in the world of video games.
"With another cosplay gallery comes another throwback to a series we have visited before. This time around we're looking at the Marvel Vs Capcom series with a crossover character that comes from the X-Men universe. X-23 is known mostly for the appearing in X-Men comics and animated series, but since she's popping up here in VG Cosplay, you know she has some video game roots too."
"The power button on my Dreamcast emits a glow. The warm, rosy glow of nostalgia for a time when game progress was saved on Memory Cards, a time before HD televisions, when online gaming was done with a 56k modem, and controllers still had wires. Hardcore gamers talk about the Dreamcast the way that car lovers talk about a ’57 Chevy, the way that junkies talk about that first pure high. That high was powerful, but short-lived; the Dreamcast debuted in 1999, but was already done with by 2001..."
The Kore Gang is solid platformer. The game feels very 90s nostalgic. The game looks good and plays great, and best of all its the kind of game anyone can pick up and play. Goozernation wonders why more games can't make motion controls this easy
"Friday the 13th is the day you’re most likely to get struck by lightning, run over by an ambulance and stabbed in the face by a bad tempered fella with a hockey mask, so why not do yourself a favor and remain indoors with our top five list of the unluckiest characters in gaming history."
Part two of a rant that I posted last week. I'm ranting about stereotypes in the MMO Genre that do more harm to games than good. I also take the time to point out games that are smacking these tropes in the face. You should definitely read part one before reading part two.
