Touch your favorite fighters in public and feel like a creep.

I was riding the train home from the Game Developers Conference last week and noticed a few people staring at me as I poked and prodded at Kasumi on my Vita's large screen. The fan favorite fighting series Dead or Alive makes the jump to PlayStation Vita in Dead or Alive 5+, but I was still on the fence as to whether this port made necessary improvements or simply colored by numbers in the change to handheld form.

PlayStation's Gone Indie; Is this the Future of Gaming?

Virtual Katz Writes: So far, GDC, or the Game Developers Conference, has been rather slow to this point in showing us anything that we really didnt already know. Which if you think about it is a pretty big bummer considering this was the conference where we saw the first Xbox and the tech behind it, among other highlights over the years. Microsoft has totally skipped this years GDC, and there really arent any new games being shown off, really, it hasnt been much of a spectacle at all honestly. With the exception of one tidbit of information and that is coming from the corner of Sony, who yet again is dropping some info about the PlayStation 4 with some Vita love sprinkled in as well. When looking at Next-Gen, to this point, we have seen Sony throw blow after blow at the competition and drive home that they are gunning for the crown this time around. So when Sony announced a slew of Indie games that are heading to the PlayStation 3, Vita, and soon the PlayStation 4, people natura...

343 was 'skeptical' about Chief-Cortana story in Halo 4

Added: 29.03.2013 23:10 | 1 views | 0 comments


Creative director Josh Holmes says doubts were raised during development about being able to pull off "human" relationship between the two.

Several members of the 343 Industries development team were "skeptical" about 's Master Chief-Cortana storyline. During a Game Developers Conference panel today, creative director Josh Holmes said Halo 4's "human elements" were controversial within the team and the studio was unsure if it could pull off a compelling drama.

Holmes explained that one of the main goals for Halo 4 from the onset was to focus on storytelling and to allow players to see the "human heart" of the game's campaign. This was a major focus for 343, Holmes said, because he felt this kind of storytelling was largely absent in past Halo games.

One of the ways 343 attempted to create a human story in Halo 4 was to dig into the relationship between Master Chief and aging artificial intelligence Cortana. Holmes explained that after seven years, AI tends to break down and lose its mind, similar to dementia in the elderly.

The game would not only focus on Master Chief saving the universe, but also his best friend. This kind of narrative was a new direction for the series, Holmes said.

"Telling a story in a game like Halo is incredibly challenging because it's a very action-oriented game. And as we started embarking down this path, there was a lot of skepticism from members of the team," Holmes said.

There was a turning point in Halo 4's development, Holmes said, when one of the game's writers approached him and said he was having a "crisis of confidence" and struggling to get the story right. It was at this point when 343 considered scrapping the Master Chief-Cortana "B story" and focusing only on pure action.

Holmes, however, was not going to let this story fade away. He explained that at the beginning of Halo 4, his mother was diagnosed with dementia. And so the Master Chief-Cortana relationship was no longer alien to him, but a reality of his life. This reality helped inform the writing in Halo 4 and the Chief-Cortana storyline was kept intact.

"Over the course of production of the game, I watched her deteriorate as a human being and become someone I couldn't recognize," Holmes said. "And that was really hard, but it was also an inspiration for me to want to tell a perfect story."

"For me, it was really important that we tell this story because this was the human heart of Halo 4's campaign," he added. "I was very adamant about wanting to deliver on that part of the story."

The Wii U Won't Be Getting Unreal Engine 4

Added: 29.03.2013 20:18 | 1 views | 0 comments


This week at the Game Developers Conference, Epic Games took their usual opportunity to show off the latest developments in their whiz-bang Unreal graphics technology. In addition to the shooty/demonic demos in futuristic/fantasy settings, one of the most touted features of the engine was that it can scale from next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 all the way to mobile devices and even web browsers. Which raises the question: If the Unreal Engine 4 is so scalable, can it run on Nintendo's still-new Wii U?
