All of thatgamecompany's games will be sold on one disc.
Following the announcement of thatgamecompany's multiplatform transition, Sony has decided to group up their trio of PlayStation Network titles and release it as a single Blu-ray disc. Journey Collector's Edition will feature flOw, Flower, and Journey, but it's unclear if extras will be packaged on the disc.
The company's VP has also stepped down.
THQ has been in the news a lot lately, due to its financial woes that have caused the company to completely restructure. This has resulted in everything from massive layoffs to the selling off of game properties such as the UFC license to EA and Devil’s Third by Tomonobu Itagaki’s Valhalla Studios. Well, that restructuring continues, as we’ve learned of a few more developments in the ongoing saga of this long-suffering publisher.
His head went back and to the left. Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.
The hype train for Hitman: Absolution has officially left the station, and to get fans amped up for the return of Agent 47 IO Interactive and Square Enix have put together a rather unique pre-order bonus for the game in Hitman: Sniper Challenge. It’s an interesting bit of fun to tide players over with until the release of the full game, but I can’t help wishing that this was a more robust offering. Given a few tweaks, this could be one of the most addicting games on XBLA and PSN.
We move away from E3 and talk about what we've been playing.
E3 has come and gone and it’s time to focus on what’s really important, the games. This week we have a casual discussion covering what we’ve been playing and what we hope to play in the near future. We also delve off to discuss how 2013 is shaping up to be one of the craziest years ever for game releases, and the ludicrous notion that unfinished games receive awards at E3.
A listing on Xbox.com revealed the impending release.
Lately Sega has made a habit of digitally re-releasing several games from their last home console, the Sega Dreamcast. Titles like Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure are available on numerous digital platforms and Jet Grind Radio is on the way as well. However, it now looks like Sonic Adventure 2 will be added to that list.
An awkward interface and limited functionality hinder this otherwise creative music game.
Playing Jam Live Music Arcade distinctly reminded me of my time with the DS title, KORG-DS 10 Plus. While the two aren’t exactly the same, Jam Live Music Arcade provides the ability to play with song arrangements using a variety of samples, encouraging players to creatively jam out. However, Jam Live Music Arcade makes the mistake of cramming in an uninspired arcade mode that needlessly mimics the popular rhythm games of this generation, like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Capcom's critically acclaimed adventure is about to get a bit more beautiful.
Originally released last generation, Okami took the gaming community by storm. The Zelda-esque adventure offered a unique take on an ancient Japanese tale, beautiful graphics, original gameplay, and a cast of memorable characters. Before long, players were able to intuitively paint with the celestial brush on Nintendo's Wii. Though a great rendition of the now-classic title, today, Capcom has announced what should be the best version of the game yet.
The Journey developer will now create games for multiple platforms
Thatgamecompany, known for their work on Flow, Flower, and Journey, will be making the transition to multiplatform development. The studio's co-founder, Jenova Chen, has announced that they have raised $5.5 million dollars thanks to Benchmark Capital, which is enough to allow the studio to pursue independent ventures.
The next title from Platinum Games is being pushed back.
Last month, it was confirmed that Anarchy Reigns, the next title from Platinum Games, was being delayed in the western markets. How long that delay would be wasn't made clear at the time. Sega has now confirmed that we won't be seeing the title in western markets until Q1 2013.
