BioWare hat enthüllt, dass die Endgame Inhalte des kommenden Titels "Star Wars: The Old Republic", die klassischen MMO Systeme mit "etwas vollkommen Neuen" vermischen wird.
EA Sports Active war und ist eine echte Goldgrube für EA Sports. Das Wii-Spiel hat sich mehrere Millionen Mal verkauft und Umsätze in Rekordhöhe generiert. ... (mehr auf NintendoWiiX.net)
Gehört eher zum Spielzeug-Markt
Industry Gamers hatte auf der GDC die Gelegenheit, sich mit dem Sims- und Spore-Macher Will Wright unter anderem über die Wii und ihren Platz im Videospiel-Markt zu unterhalten.
Wie sich herausstellt, zählt der Querdenker Nintendos Konsole eher zu den Spielzeugen:
Ich glaube, die Wii ist eine sehr einzigartige Plattform und dass dies ein bisschen ihren zentraler Wert ausmacht. Deshalb war sie so erfolgreich...
Heute wurde von Philippe Dauman, Präsident und CEO von Viacom, erklärt, dass aktuell an Rock Band 3 gearbeitet wird. Der Musiktitel wird wieder in Zusammenarbeit mit MTV Games und Electronic Arts vertrieben.
Vor fast drei Jahren kündigte 1C Company die Trucker-Simulation RignRoll an. Erschienen ist das Spiel bisher nicht, doch dank Rondomedia soll es im 2. Quartal 2 ...
We already told you that Sid Meier's Civilization IV was finally getting a sequel with Civilization V later this year, and then we showed you the trailer that contained absolutely no gameplay. But now we've actually seen an early build of the game, and we can tell you how hexy it is. That's right, forget about old Civilization games which only had four cardinal directions to choose from when moving your units; this installment ramps that up to to six. That's right! Two whole new directions! It's a brand new game!
In all fairness, it is Civilization but Firaxis made plenty of substantial...
Wir wollen (bewegte) Bilder sehen
Laut dem Chef von Eidos Montreal, Stephane DAstous, gibt es noch diese Woche (hoffentlich) interessante Neuigkeiten zu Deus Ex 3.
Via Twitter ließ er seine Follower wissen:
Morgen gehts zur GDC-SFO, ich rate jedem, am Donnerstag, den 11. März um etwa 20:30 PST einen Blick auf IGN zu werden ... eine kleine Überraschung von DX3!

An early look at EA Sports MMA reveals that Strikeforce will be the main promotion featured in the game. You can compete not only in the Strikeforce hexagonal ring, but also have your fighters pound away at each other in a circle cage or boxing ring.
Sega hat angekündigt, dass am 18. März, für den neuesten Teil der "Alien Vs. Predator" Serie, ein neuer DLC erscheinen wird. Dieser wird vier vollkommen neue Maps enthalten.
It seems like almost a year ago that I first saw Mafia II. That's probably because it was almost a year ago that 2K Czech (formerly Illusion Softworks) demoed live gameplay from the title (which had been announced nearly a year and a half before that.) Today, it was time to finally get my hands dirty as a virtual wiseguy, but first I had to put some clothes on.
In all seriousness, protagonist (I guess he's that, right?) Vito Scaletta had just woken up after a pretty wild night (judging by the various undergarments strewn around his bachelor pad) when my demo kicked off, so I of course...
Three delays later, Mafia II looks like it's finally (finally!) getting ready to launch. It's been a long journey, and we spoke with 2K senior producer Denby Grace during GDC about the development time and what we can expect from the ambitious crime saga:
We've been waiting a very long time for this game haven't we?
Denby Grace, senior producer: The reason for the delay is polish. You'll see the game looks great as you play today. It's just not quite perfect, which is what we at 2K generally strive for. It's what we want to be known for, the quality of our games. Just having come so...

Sorry, it's not a sequel to King of Kong, the documentary that showed the battle between ruthless Billy Mitchell and nice guy Steve Wiebe to become the world's best Donkey Kong player. This is a new guy on the scene, 35-year-old plastic surgeon Hank Chien, who's just taken the world record in the game according to Twin Galaxies with 1,061,700 points after a two-and-a-half-hour session.
Chien says he expects that the honor will keep him "pelvis-deep in cocaine and highly desirable to sexual partners for all of my days." Or at least we bet he was thinking that.There is a new King of Kong...

Klei Entertainment hat nun einen neuen Trailer für ihren in Kürze erscheinenden titel "The Shank". Erst kürzlich unterzeichneten sie einen Vertrag mit Electronic Arts, welche das Spiel nun publishen.
Here's a bit of backstory for those of you who don't follow the hot Baltimore news scoops: Sheila Dixon, once mayor of Baltimore, became the former mayor Baltimore after being indicted for embezzlement earlier this year. One of the main pieces of evidence in her trial was an Xbox 360 prosecutors claimed she purchased with gift cards given to her by local developers, which were supposed to be given to various charities.
The telltale 360 recently appeared in an eBay listing, attracting a number of prospective buyers hoping to get their hands on the game console/slice of Baltimore history. If...

Speaking to IndustryGamers in a pre-GDC interview, industry veteran Will Wright shared his thoughts on the Wii and where it fits in the current video game market. According to Wright, the Wii offers an experience that is "clearly different than the Xbox or the PlayStation." Specifically, he stated that the Wii differs from its console brothers in that it doesn't generally cater to long, in depth experiences. Rather, said Wright, the Wii offers "fun toys to pick up and start playing in five minutes." He added, "It really is more into what I would call the toy market."
Elaborating,...
Während Boom Blox und Dead Space: Extraction nicht ganz die Erwartungen EAs erfüllen konnten, erwies sich EA Sports Active im Windschatten von Wii Fit prompt als Millionen-Seller. Deswegen überrascht es kaum, dass der Hersteller nach einer Erweiterung nun eine echte Fortsetzung des Spiels ankündigte.Der vorläufig EA Sports Active 2.0 getaufte Titel wird im Gegensatz zum Vorgänger auch auf PS3 und iPhone bzw. iPod Touch erscheinen - es ist allerdings durchaus wahrscheinlich, dass im Rahmen der E3 noch eine Xbox 360-Variante mit Natal-Unterstützung angekündigt wird angesichts der...
Curious what tricks Capcom has up their sleeves for the final additional character in Super Street Fighter IV? Wonder no longer, because IGN got the first glimpse at Hakan -- a totally original brawler created specifically for the updated version of Street Fighter IV.
From the looks of the footage, Hakan appears to be a grappler along the lines of Zangief or Abel. Don't let that mislead you into believing he's just another musclebound clod in impossibly tight shorts, however. What separates this new guy from the rest of the pack are his bright orange, Jersey Shore-esque...

After a five-year hiatus, free-roaming felony franchise True Crime is set to return (sans subtitle) in Fall 2010. United Front, which is also working on the upcoming ModNation Racers and houses veterans from games such as Bully, Prototype and Scarface, is developing the new entry for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Lead producer Jeff O'Connell describes it as a "more serious" reboot -- and a story that's more closely modeled after cop films. "It's an opportunity to be an innately good guy," he said of the undercover, under-pressure role you'll assume. "That's good...

R.U.S.E. is quite a crafty game. It turns out that the recently revealed June 3 release date was nothing but a smoke screen for the real date. The fully legitimate, actual release date is June 8. The game's PC beta began today and, according to Big Download, Ubisoft also announced the change in launch schedule. Normally, this kind of thing would be upsetting but, given the title, it just seems appropriate.
The beta, incidentally, is available now to all Steam users. It allows both single-player and multiplayer action with six different factions on seven multiplayer maps.RUSE date a trick...

You know, we always thought GLaDOS ran the Portal simulation just so she could discover the true value of friendship, but it may really have been in the name of public service. In the video after the break -- created by Freddie Wong, who you probably recognize from his ridiculous (and hilarious) Guitar Hero video -- we get a glimpse at the likely ramifications of improper Portal gun training and how a few apathetic "friends" can ruin one of the most exciting experiences ever. And here, all this time, we thought GLaDOS was the bad guy!
Note: For those of you who spot that weird frame at the...
EA Sports' "Season Opener" event at GDC contained one major announcement for the developer's bevy of franchises: EA Sports Active will receive the sequel treatment this Fall with EA Sports Active 2.0 (working title), an updated version of the exergame for the PS3, Wii, iPhone and iPod Touch platforms. The console versions of the game will come equipped with two motion sensors and a heart rate monitor the player can strap to their arms and legs.
User information in this new game can be shared over an online social network, allowing fellow players to keep track of how frequently you've...
Flip's Twisted World is a rare third party game that sets to do something original for the Wii. Yet strangely, it's gone almost completely unnoticed. While platformers are a dime a dozen, Flip's gravity-twisting gameplay offers a unique spin (get it?) that deserves a look. The "gimmick" at the heart of Flip's Twisted World is the player's ability to "flip" the world at whim, turning floors into walls, ceilings into floors, and more.
Majesco has released a dev diary for Flip's Twisted World that better explains its gameplay. It's easy to make comparisons to Super Mario Galaxy, but...
Battlestar Galactica is over, but that doesn't mean NBC is done cashing in. They're teaming up with Bigpoint to launching Battlestar Galactica Online, a browser-based massively multiplayer game set in the popular universe.
"Battlestar Galactica is a supremely gameable intellectual property, with compelling character classes, a fantastic array of ships and weaponry, multiple worlds, and a dramatic storyline," said vice president and general manager of digital platforms for Universal Partnerships & Licensing Bill Kispert.
"We are excited to work with Bigpoint - and...

Finally, your morbid curiosity about what it would be like to play Street Fighter on an iPhone can be satiated. At a Capcom Fight Club event, Capcom launched Street Fighter IV for iPhone as fans watched -- which made for probably the most exciting iPhone game launch of all time.
It's not showing up on the App Store just yet -- Capcom said it may take a couple of hours for the Apple servers to catch up -- but sometime tonight, you'll be able to swipe, swipe, swipe until you finally pull off a Hadouken.Street Fighter IV available on iPhone tonight originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 09...
Capcom has revealed the final new character for Super Street Fighter IV, and he's ... well, he's a giant dude covered in oil. Like, Hakan actually oils himself up before each round. This has the aesthetic effect of being extraordinarily off-putting, and the functional effect of allowing him to slide across the stage as if it were the Crocodile Mile. And since he's a grappling-type character, you get these really great squishing noises whenever he grabs another character.
See Hakan in action after the break, courtesy of IGN, and just try to imagine the design process behind this guy....
