At this year’s PAX East event in Boston, which is scheduled to run from March 22nd to March 24th, Capcom has been dropping hints that they will announce two, never-before-seen games at the event. The publisher is set to announce the two new games at their “World of Capcom” panel which will take place on Friday, March 22nd in the Exhibition Center’s Pheonix Room. Rival Schools 3 and Resident Evil [...]

Multiple sources belonging to video games website CVG believe that Microsoft will announce some sort of exclusivity deal with mega-publisher EA at the unveiling event of their next-generation Xbox in April. None of the sources, nor CVG themselves however, are privy to details of what this exclusivity would entail. Given the sales opportunities that are available for EA on other platforms, I doubt that it will be the announcement of solely [...]

It’ll soon be time for the industry vultures to have a second go at stripping the meat off the bones of THQ, as the administrators for the company have confirmed that the former publisher will attempt to sell off all of its remaining IP at a court-supervised auction on April 1st. The IP sale has been sliced up into the six tasty morsels; Red Faction, Homeworld, MX, Darksiders, other owned [...]

Vita sales are still poor, the amount of games being produced for it is tanking, but at least one indie game is actually doing better on the Vita than on Steam and Xbox Live. Retro City Rampage has apparently been most successful on the Vita according to developer Brian Provinciano. It’s not only sold more copies on PSN, but because of PS+ making the game free for a month, there’s way more [...]

After Sony fired off the first salvo in the next-generation console scrap with the announcement of the Playstation 4 earlier this week, word has reached our ears that Microsoft is intending to lift the curtain on their own next-generation console offering in an event to be held sometime in April. Lending further credence to the event going down is the fact that Microsoft partner Ustechs, whom has collaborated with the platform [...]

After a round of layoffs and a failed Kickstarter project, things weren’t looking rosy for Supreme Commander developer Gas Powered Games at all. In fact, it wouldn’t be unfair to say that those guys were probably staring at the bottom of their pints a little more wistfully than they have done in recent times. A good thing then that seemingly out of nowhere, World of Tanks developer Wargaming.net has said [...]

Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio behind No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw, was sold a few weeks ago to GungHo, the company behind Ragnarok Online. It’s a strange combination of companies to say the least. But for those of us concerned that Grasshopper Manufacture is going to become beholden to stock holders, head of the company Suda 51 and Kazuki Morishita, president of GungHo had an interview with 4Gamer to put everyone’s [...]

And that’s all she wrote. Sony has let go the developers behind PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, SuperBot Entertainment. This comes less than two weeks after there were some layoffs at the dev studio.

While all this PlayStation 4 business is highly speculative and still suspect to fallacy, no matter what the source, it’s hard not to get excited that Sony are teasing something big for February 20th and that information keeps coming to light in different places, all of it very plausible, even if unproven. Development sources, writes EDGE, with working knowledge of both upcoming platforms say that Sony is set to reveal [...]

Sony is up to something. Nobody’s really sure what, but it’s something big and possibly related to the new generation of gaming, most highly speculatively the PlayStation 4. There’s a teaser site live that gives you the chance to subscribe to the gaming-related newsletter and encourages visitors to get in on the discussion via Twitter using the hashtag “#playstation2013″. And there’s a cool little video accompanying the whole thing, but [...]
