- World of Diablo & World of StarCraft? -
F-13.net is carrying a
story that reports that Blizzard will be making a massively
multiplayer game for each of its major franchises: 'All Blizzard franchises
will become MMOGs.'
However,
when asked by Shacknews to comment on the alleged statement, a senior
publicist from Vivendi said simply, "That's the first I've heard of it." After
being referred to developer Blizzard, Shacknews received a similar response.
Until any further announcements are made, consider this a rumor and nothing
more.
- GTA IV Rumors Begin to Circulate - The rumors turned out to be
ideas that should be obvious anyway. One of them is that "Dan Houser will be
writing the script." Dan wrote GTA2, GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas and
others, so it should come as no surprise that he will be writing the biggest
GTA game since GTA III. Well, we will see :)
GTA IV will be released on the XBOX and PS3 on October 16, 2007 in the United
States and October 19, 2007 in Europe for the XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3.
There has been no confirmation on a PC release yet, but don't believe the
people that say "there won't be a PC version after the modding incident with
San Andreas and the 'hot coffee' thing."
- PS3 to See Die Shrink in 2007 - Sony Computer Entertainment
president
Ken
Kutaragi revealed that PlayStation 3's Cell will be switching to a more
efficient manufacturing process at some point in 2007. The chip will
switch from its current 90nm process to a 65nm process. The change should
soften the per-unit financial hit taken as a result of the system's high
manufacturing costs. In other news,
Sony's online gaming service will likely feature free online play,
according to comments from SCE president Ken Kutaragi. Article also talks
briefly about Sony's content distribution plans

anybody thought that perhaps it might be a good thing?"

| Nosferatu | (03:16 PM CEST - Jun,14 2006 ) | The Best Games Never Published article was entertaining to read! But Chris Crawford: "Video Games are Dead" was a gem really! It's not like I hunt for articles like that on the web and can't find them, but I never stumbled across any accidentally. Very interesting reading.
HX, where do you get this stuff? :) | |
| xxxx | (06:25 AM CEST - Jun,15 2006 ) | | Heroes of Annihilated Empires looks extremely nice. | |
| devilhood | (03:32 PM CEST - Jun,16 2006 ) | | Crysis is amazing, but man, those STALKER shots were great, it's the atmosphere the game will hopefully produce, should be vastly different to Crysis in a 'unique' way, so I don't think it will hurt sales too significantly. | |
