Aktuelle Top-News

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....

U-Boot-Fans dürfen ab sofort auch mit dem iPhone und iPod touch abtauchen. Ubisoft bietet im App Store eine speziell an die beiden Handhelds angepasste Version von Silent Hunter an, in der ihr in die Rolle eines deutschen U-Boot-Kapitäns schlüpft un... ...

Ready to frustrate yourself forever? Learn the game of Go. It's an ancient Chinese game that's over four thousand years old, and games can last up to 16 hours in tournaments. Sounds just perfect for an adaptation into the frenetic world of video games, right?! Well, your wish is granted. The Path of Go or How We Came Up With A Proprietary Name For The Public Domain Game of Go is being developed in-house by Microsoft at the likewise excitingly named Microsoft Research Cambridge division. We played the game briefly at GDC, and it's actually very robust. It includes a tutorial where your...

With Ferrari having finally returned to the Need for Speed stable of automobiles, Electronic Arts is releasing even more DLC for last year's Shift. The new Exotic Racing Series Pack will be launching next week on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, and will run you 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00). It includes the Honda NSX and the BMW M1 Procar, among others. You can find the full list below. The pack will be available March 18.

If you're an artist lucky enough to work on one of the biggest games of last year, what do you do when you're done? Well, besides taking time off and thinking about slipping into a coma. If you're at Naughty Dog, then you create your own unique artwork and show it off at the "Unleashed: The Art of Naughty Dog" art exhibit at The Gnomon Workshop in Los Angeles. We stopped by on Saturday night to check out the wares and talk to some of the artists, like shader/texture artist Melissa Altobello (you saw her work in Uncharted 2 during the train level, among others). She created this piece,...

Defend your eyeballs against some screens Promethium Marketing -- formerly the Gamerscore Blog crew -- has released Tweet Defense on the iPhone, a tower defense title that rewards players with bonuses for linking up and using their Twitter account. The title features ten different levels, five different enemy types and six different towers to choose from. Currently, it's available for $.99, though this is only a "limited sale price." The nightmares you'll have about a pregnant zombie giving birth to little zombies are free of charge, of course. Tweet Defense ($.99) Gallery: Tweet...

This is the type of news that just hurts to report: Battlestar Galactica is becoming -- wait for it -- a browser-based MMO. We know! It's painful, right? The "game" is being developed by Bigpoint, which operates several titles in the genre. Battlestar Galactica Online will infect your internets like a Cylon-based virus sometime this autumn on the Syfy(lis) website for an exclusive 30 day period. Battlestar Galactica, and its fans, deserve better. We're not saying they deserve a BioWare RPG version of Wing Commander but ... actually, that's exactly what we're saying. [Via Big...

Einer der Schwerpunkte der diesjährigen GDC sind Social-Games, welchen mehr und mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. So hatte Electronic Arts beispielsweise Ende 2009 Playfish geschluckt und schon mal durchblicken lassen, dass der Neuzugang sich bald auch um neue Ableger bekannter Marken kümmern könnte.Gareth Davis von Facebook ist erwartungsgemäß ziemlich überzeugt von der eigenen Plattform. Auf der würden schließlich immerhin 200 Mio. Nutzer pro Monat Spiele konsumieren."Ziemlich bald werden alle Spiele 'social' sein. Und wir werden sie nicht mehr 'Social-Games' nennen, sondern...

Attendees of Tokyo Game Show 2010 will have more to see and do -- or, perhaps, more to wish they could see and do while they're in line for a Final Fantasy demo. CESA announced several new additions to the show, which takes place September 16-19. New segments of the show floor will be devoted to PC hardware, gadgets, and mobile. An International Career Pavilion will help companies recruit foreign talent, and a PC Online Game Business area will "provide opportunities to present and discuss licensing, sales, and partnership regarding PC online games." Also toward the goal of boosting...

Jagged Alliance is about to pick up its first true sequel in more than a decade. German publisher bitComposer games has acquired the license from Strategy First, and hopes to release a new game sometime next year (via Gamasutra). "Although Jagged Alliance 2 was published over ten years ago now, the game still represents a milestone in the genre and boasts a huge following of loyal fans," said bitComposer Games CEO Wolfgang Duhr. "We are delighted to acquire this classic game for bitComposer, and want to continue the success of the previous titles in the series, while...

This year's Game Developers Conference has two new tracks for the new kids in town: the Social & Online Games Summit and the iPhone Games Summit. Facebook's Gareth Davis delivered the keynote for the former this morning, titled "How Friends Change Everything." With 400 million users, 200 million of whom are playing games on the service, it's pretty hard to argue with Facebook's bona fides as a seriously huge gaming platform. With components like Facebook Connect, we're even seeing Facebook functionality penetrate the historically isolated game consoles, like Xbox 360, PlayStation...

Ungeachtet der derzeitigen Turbulenzen ist Infinity Ward fleißig dabei, die Arbeiten am ersten von wohl zwei Map-Packs abzuschließen, die man für Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 veröffentlichen wird. Auf einer Teaser-Seite gibt man jetzt bekannt, wann das erste Paket verfügbar sein wird: Am 30. März wird es soweit sein.Die Zusatzinhalte werden zeitlich exklusiv auf Xbox Live veröffentlicht; die anderen Plattformen dürften ein paar Wochen später bedient werden.

Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has pointed us toward a new self-help website filled with good news: new maps are coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on March 30th. While the powers that be at Activision might have ousted the creators of the game, they haven't affected the delivery of eagerly awaited new maps. People afflicted with mapathy, your cure is on the way. PS3 owners ... well, you'll have to suffer a bit longer. Have you spoken to your FAMAS-ist about a prescription? [Thanks, Legion!] First Modern Warfare 2 map pack coming to Xbox Live on March 30 originally...

And when we say "brief glimpse," we mean "barely a glimpse's worth." It's, like, a half-glimpse -- almost a peek. But, we digress. In the sixth episode of its third season, The Jace Hall Show toured Jace's old stomping grounds: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The publisher currently has an unannounced FPS in the works and Hall was allowed to show approximately five seconds of the game. You can check it out around the 15-minute mark in the video past the break. [Via Big Download]Continue reading Jace Hall Show offers brief look at unannounced Warner Bros. shooterJace Hall Show...

"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel." - English "Jestem dowódcą Shepard, a to jest mój ulubiony sklep na cytadeli." - Polish (machine translation) In a GDC 2010 session entitled "Localizing Large RPGs," which forms part of an ongoing localization summit, BioWare localization project manager Ryan Warden eloquently explored the revered developer's process of adapting a huge, dialogue-driven game like Mass Effect 2 for alternative markets and languages. It may surprise you to learn that BioWare's processes are significantly more elegant...

Boy, Tron is old. That movie came out way back in 1982, and we're finally getting a sequel in 2010. You can see how long it's been if you count the wrinkles on Alan Bradley's (Bruce Boxleitner) face. That's Tron himself, but we've heard that he's hardly in the movie. So what gives? Well, this one is all about Flynn's (the now Oscar award-winning Jeff "The Dude" Bridges) son Sam searching for his dad, who has been missing for years. Oh, and the Game Grid has received several substantial upgrades. Just look at that Recognizer and the light cycles in this trailer. Looks like someone...

Oder: Wenn "Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter" augenscheinlich für den deutschen Markt ungeeignet klingt. Wir wissen nicht, was zu dieser Umbenennung geführt hat. Was wir jedoch ganz sicher wissen: Mit "Der magische Stift" hat sich der offizielle Nachfolger des charmanten und dank des Eigenzeichnungs-Features gleichsam innovativen Jump'n Runs "Drawn to Life" bei uns eingefunden. Doch wollte man mit dem Deckmantel des deutschen Titels vielleicht irgendetwas unliebsames verheimlichen? Keine Bange, so schlimm ist es nicht. Wie genau sich das nächste Kapitel schlägt, verraten wir euch in...

Steph Thirion, creator of the early iPhone standout Eliss, has a new game on the way, from a new company. The first game to be released by Thirion's studio, Little-Eyes, will be Faraway, a project Thiron says "will be about constellations and infinite space travel." Faraway will be on display at the Kokoromi Gamma IV event tomorrow, and should also be playable at the Gamma IV showcase during GDC. At that point, presumably, we'll know exactly what Faraway is and what platforms we'll be able to play it on. Our guess: Thirion's note that Faraway "drastically increases the scale of the...

The newly-announced Bodycount could be considered a spiritual successor to Black, but not too long ago the real thing was under development. Speaking with GameSpot, designer Stuart Black said that Black 2 was being worked on at Criterion, but was ultimately shelved. "I certainly did some preliminary pre-production work on Black 2 once we finished Black, the first three or four months," Black said. "I moved on quite quickly after that." He continued, "A lot of the guys on the team I'm working with here now carried on with that and did a lot of pre-production for about...

Being a giant, beloved video game blog has its downsides. For example, we sometimes neglect to give independent developers our coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as we get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, we're giving indies the chance to create their own loverage and sell you, the fans, on their studios and products. This week we talk with Markus Hofer of Blackish Games. His studio's feeding that dirty little addiction you know you developed during the Winter Olympics with Age of Curling. Joystiq: How did you or your company get...

Über zukünftige Modulspiele für Nintendo DS haben wir heute abermals keine erwähnenswerten Lebenszeichen zu berichten - umso mehr Raum bleibt für DSiWare-Produkte und das freitägliche Shop-Update in Europa. Diese Woche schaffte es "Element Masters" in Amerika, die Herzen von RPG-Befürwortern zu erwärmen, und auch wir werden am Freitag mit dem 800 Punkte-Abenteuer beglückt. Verantwortlich zeichnet sich der deutsche Publisher lbxgames.

Square Enix's latest Anatomy of a Stunt video for Just Cause 2 shows off a very creative way to reach those hard-to-reach places with a rocket launcher. More »

Though we've thoroughly enjoyed Just Cause 2's "Anatomy of a Stunt" videos, we're not sure the one you see posted above is accurately titled. Though the name "Rocket Launcher Jump" does capture some of the components of the stunt, it fails to mention a few other important buzzwords; namely "speedboat," "ramp," "explosion," "death," "aerial," and "unimaginably awesome." Do yourself a favor and check out the video above, which we've chosen to remoniker "Unimaginably Awesome Speedboat Ramp Jump Aerial Rocket Launcher Explosion Death."

For those of you still tromping around the galaxy in Mass Effect 2, BioWare is giving you a helping hand with a new toy. The Arc Projector has been released over the Cerberus Network, the latest piece of free DLC for those who purchased a new copy of the game. This new heavy weapon apparently "ionizes targets with a non-visible laser to ready them for a high-voltage electrical attack." The description continues, "As the lightning-like bolt hits its first target, a sophisticated auto-targeting system paints succeeding targets with the ionization laser, allowing the...

Wayne Barlow's 'Cerberus' ... gross Held in conjunction with the Into the Pixel and Video Game Art Show exhibitions, San Francisco's Hotel des Arts is dedicating its entire fourth floor to "The Making of Dante's Inferno" through April 2010. We've got a sneak peek at the art on display in the gallery below, but if you want to see the real deal we'd suggest you make your way to the opening night reception being held at the Hotel des Arts on Thursday night, from 6pm to 10pm, smack dab in the middle of GDC week.

In advance of NPD sales results for February 2010, analysts are predicting year-over-year declines for pretty much everything. Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, according to Gamasutra, is predicting that hardware and software sales will decline 10 percent, with Wii hardware sales hit particularly hard (around 40 percent) due to shortages. Beyond the Wii, the continuing decline of the music genre is partly to blame for the reduced sales. Analyst Colin Sebastian is guessing at a 15 percent decline, despite encouraging early sales for games like Heavy Rain and preorders for games like...

Moving beyond the tabloid fodder of the past several months, Electronic Arts has a series to market. EA Sports has started spinning up the hype machine for Tiger Woods 11, announcing that will feature support for the PS3 Motion Controller as well as the inclusion of the Ryder Cup. As was the case with the Wii MotionPlus-enabled Tigers Woods 10, this year's PS3 edition is aiming for "an authentic interactive swing experience." The Wii version will continue to support MotionPlus, and will also be adding an "Advanced Plus" swing difficulty that reads rotation and swing...

Sure, Ferraris are fun and all, but they aren't exotic enough. EA's looking to increase Need For Speed: Shift's roster of wacky, expensive rides you'll probably never drive in real life through the Exotic Racing Series Pack.

We all knew it was coming at some point, but Harmonix has officially confirmed Rock Band 3. The studio published an update on their Facebook page with the official announcement. The studio wrote, "Harmonix is developing Rock Band 3 for worldwide release this holiday season! The game, which will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts, will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. Stay tuned for more details!" We've heard hints that Rock Band 3 is...

Though we already know the bulk of the March release schedule for new content on the Xbox Live Marketplace, Major Nelson's blog recently laid out how the rest of the month will play out. Tomorrow, we'll get our hands on Scrap Metal for 1200 ($15), next Wednesday will see the release of Perfect Dark for 800 ($10), and on March 24, we'll get our hands on the (somewhat) free Game Room hub. Oh, and the Games on Demand service got a bit crazier today with the release of Condemned: Criminal Origins for $19.99. If you're an insatiable value-hound, you should turn your attention to the upcoming...

Kommt zum Weihnachtsgeschäft Harmonix hat am Abend Rock Band 3 angekündigt. Wie das Unternehmen auf seiner Facebook-Seite verriet, soll der Titel passend zum diesjährigen Weihnachtsgeschäft erscheinen.

Vor ein paar Tagen hatten mehrere Größen aus der Indie-Szene die Gründung eines Fördertopfes für Indie-Produktionen verkündet. Der so genannte Indie Fund soll kleineren Entwicklern unter die Arme greifen und die Produktion unterstützen. Sollte das Projekt jemals Geld abwerfen, so wird eine Rückzahlung des erhaltenen Geldes samt eines kleinen Zusatzbetrags fällig - die Macher behalten aber alle stets alle Rechte an ihrem Werk.Auf der GDC 2010 stellte Ron Carmel von 2D Boy (World of Goo) das Unterfangen nun etwas genauer vor.

With Shank now being published by EA, Klei Entertainment is putting the increased development budget to good use -- with a trailer! Well, it's likely there would be a trailer this week anyway, as this week also marks the hyper-violent XBLA/PSN/PC brawler's appearance at the Independent Games Festival. The brutal violence may dominate the trailer, but our eyes were immediately drawn to the acrobatics. There's so much somersaulting, swinging, hanging, and other exciting-looking methods of movement that they even manage to distract us from the usually thrilling shoot-stab-saw combos on...
