Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid franchise and boss over at Kojima Productions, is reportedly parting ways with Konami once development on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been completed.
The much-anticipated return for the Rock Band series with Rock Band 4, which has the potential to revive the peripheral-based rhythm genre, has been slated for October and will run at 1080p at 60fps. Harmonix product manager Eric Pope confirmed as much in separate articles in the latest issue of MCV via Videogamer.
It looks like those hoping for a remastered trilogy of the first three Gears games will be left disappointed, as Black Tusk producer Rod Fergusson has confirmed on Twitter that a Marcus Fenix Collection for Xbox One is not in the works.
While DeNA will be a major part of Nintendo's mobile initiative, it looks like the Big N will be handling the development of its mobile games.
"Development of smart device games will be mainly done by Nintendo, but it is significant that we are forming a joint development structure with DeNA," company president and CEO Satoru Iwata told TIME in a recent interview. "Nintendo, through experience in the dedicated game system business, is good at making traditional game products."
Half-Life fans have been patient for years, waiting with bated breath in the hopes of a new entry in Valve's beloved first-person shooter franchise. The second episode of Half-Life 2 left players on one heck of a cliffhanger, so there's got to be more to the story... right?
Despite the recent announcement of Nintendo's decision to develop games for mobile devices, the company's legendary game designer is steering clear of smartphone and tablet games... for now.
I was so scared that Final Fantasy XI was ending, that as soon as the theme music started up during the intro to this conference, I started getting all misty eyed.
I haven't played in years, but always had this idea that I might again, one day, in the back of my mind. The thought that it might not be possible saddened me. But I forgot all that and remembered my general disdain for mobile games when I saw this:
Twitch's technical issues prevented a Challenge Accepted stream today, but I don't want viewers to walk away empty handed. I promised some Demon's Souls PvP, and that's exactly what I plan to deliver.
Bloodborne is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and folks in Denmark can receive a free copy of the game by donating blood according to NeoGAF.
PlayStation Denmark and GivBlod are teaming up for the March 23rd event in which Danish residents give blood in exchange for the PlayStation 4 exclusive. Other PlayStation games will be available for donors who don't want Bloodborne.
Steam's curator and broadcasting options allow users to filter through recommendations, but they also open themselves up to exploitation. In an attempt to prevent that kind of behavior, Valve has added an endorsement disclosure update to its subscriber agreement.
In an interesting method of dealing with pirates who have copies of Windows 7, 8.1, or Phone 8.1, Microsoft will be allowing them to upgrade to Windows 10 for free when it releases in the summer this year. Wait, is this a trap?
Nintendo announced a landmark decision yesterday, partnering with DeNA to bring Nintendo's beloved franchises to smartphones and tablets, breaking Nintendo's longstanding tradition of restricting its games to its own consoles. Apart from announcing a brand-new game console codenamed NX, the company confirmed in tandem, in a statement with GameSpot, "a core system compatible with a variety of devices including PCs, smartphones, and tablets, as well as NintendoÄ‚Ë€â„Ës dedicated video game systems." It's a controversial move that has had Nintendo fans split between doomsayers and profit-minded supporters. I believe this decision is inevitable and will likely be the cornerstone of Nintendo's future success.
A new PokeĂłmon Rumble game is apparently in development, as a listing on the Australian Classification Board now includes an entry for a title called PokeĂłmon Rumble World.
Sony has filed a third trademark for The Last Guardian, Japan Studios' long-delayed action adventure game staring a young boy and his giant winged companion.
After mistakenly letting the trademark expire, Sony filed for the name again on March 12 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The PlayStation manufacturer is currently awaiting approval.
The staying power of older systems in Japan sets it worlds apart from North America and Europe. While one is busy watching new-gen software outsell the older versions, Japan is going through the opposite situation. PS3 versions of games are consistently outselling PS4 versions, despite the situation going much the other way abroad. Even just this past week, Wii-U's Mario Party 10 was outsold by the PSP's latest Uta no Prince. I thought Mario Party was a lock for the top three.
Nintendo revealed just yesterday that it plans to create games for smartphones, and now, according to company president and CEO Satoru Iwata, it looks like they could be coming as early as this year.
Battlefield Hardline came out today, so it seemed like the perfect candidate for GameRevolution LIVE. In this episode of the weekly livestream I show off some of the game's single-player campaign and its new multiplayer modes.
Developer Just Add Water did a great job fleshing out the 3D elements of the Oddworld universe's first game, and what's here is a much prettier, brighter version of a deep platformer puzzle experience. Whether youÄ‚Ë€â„Ëve led Abe through his "Oddyssee" once before or not, this remake is a great platformer that falls contently between indie and mainstream.
Cities: Skylines is currently the number one selling game on Steam, and the building simulator has inspired numerous creations from players around the world. Among those players is Bryan Shannon, former artist at Maxis Emeryville.
Call of Duty lead designer Todd Alderman left Infinity Ward nearly five years ago following lawsuits and studio turmoil, but a Polygon report confirms his return to the company as a multiplayer project director.
