- Microsoft’s next big thing will kill the Wii-U. It’s called “Smart Glass”, and looks like an app that will artificially expand the 360′s life cycle by another 20 years. All of a sudden the $99 Xbox makes a bit more sense.
- A true Samaritan is giving out free Halo 2 Vista keys. If you can deal with activating it, and what could be the worst PC port of all time, then its a lot of fun.
- A new Gears of War game is coming, and it might be okay since it stars the better characters of the series.
- More game announcements: Injustice: Gods Among Us. Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2.
The Flash is just pretending to be hurt, right?
- Check out this facial recognition and vocal modulation. I don’t care what anyone says, looks cool to me. I’ll be using Everquest II to have my wedding.
- A great article about why Sony is bleeding money, and what they can do to stay in the console business.
- Can you believe that Sony almost abandoned the disc drive?
- Sony will let Gaikai users stream their first and third-party titles. If only they could add proper backwards compatibility to their own consoles.
How game streaming services work.
- Dota 2 will be free-to-play and have hats, neither of which surprise anyone with a few brain cells.
- What is that new LucasArts game? Its called Star Wars 1313, and will feature a bounty hunter as the main character instead of a Jedi. It doesn’t look like Boba Fett either, so LucasArts has another flop on their hands.
- Skylanders is the new Pokemon.
- Activison vs. the former members of Infinity Ward ends anti-climatically. They settled out of court.
- You many not even remember, but the suit that Silicon Knights had on Epic is finally over. Silicon Knights lost. Hopefully, they can use Unreal Engine 4 next time to make a good game.
- CDProjekt Red thanks you for supporting The Witcher 2, has a new game called Cyberpunk (based off of the tabletop RPG), and is generally being awesome.
- Skyrim’s next expansion “Dawnguard” is focused on Vampires. I think that the more powerful vampires that they showed are of the “Nosferatu” type in vampire lore, or a transformation thing.
- Dark Souls comes to Steam, with some extremely low SysReqs. No mention of GFWL on the page yet, but I’m expecting it.
- Dead Space 3: taking cover, human enemies, crafting, universal ammo, and co-op. What more could you possibly want?
- Nintendo execs touch down in preparation for E3.
GET HYPED
RPG Developer CD Projekt Red makes a new Cyberpunk RPG based off of the RPG “Cyberpunk”.
Well at least GFWL Souls is going to be a well optimized port.
