Split/Second Team Promises Replay Value - March 16, 2010 by Joe Pomerening

In a recent interview with Jason Green of Black Rock Studios, we learn some new details about Disney Interactive’s upcoming title Split/Second.

One of the biggest concerns with Split/Second is that the game will get boring quickly. From what we already know about the title, the premise is to race other cars and blow things up. Which, right there, is a pretty solid concept as it is. However, it does raise the question “How many times can you blow the same things up before you get bored?” Check out Jason’s answers to these important questions after the jump. read this entry »

Rumour: Insomniac Games to stop PS3 exclusive development - March 13, 2010 by Michael O'Connor

Rumour: Insomniac Games to stop PS3 exclusive development, going multi-platform

Anyone who has been a fan of gaming for a while now is more than familiar with Insomniac Games, long time supporters of the PlayStation formats and creators of famous franchises such as Spyro the Dragon and Ratchet and Clank. If certain rumours are to be believed though, this exclusive support may soon come to an end.

A “trusted source” who spoke to IGN anonymously during GDC claims that the company intends to go multi-platform.

Existing franchise are, as far as we know, locked into exclusivity on the PS3 for now, but this does not stop the company from creating a new franchise for the other existing consoles, the Xbox 360 and the Wii.

Insomniac is refusing to comment on this rumour for the time being, but we’ll let you know if something comes of it. I personally would be extremely surprised if this turned out to be true.

Newell says Portal 2 will be epic - March 12, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Valve boss Gabe Newell told 1UP that Portal 2 would allow the studio to take the concept and apply it on a much larger scale.

“One of the nice things about The Orange Box was it allowed us to try out a couple of different things, and Portal really seemed to resonate,” Newell said during his GDC spot.

“We got the signals that we wanted – this is what people liked; this is what people didn’t like. And to us, it was like, ‘OK, now we know how to take this big,’ so that’s what we’re going to do with Portal 2.

“It’s the best game we’ve ever done,” he added.

While the original Portal was fairly short (clocking in at about three to four hours), Portal 2 will be an standalone full-fledged game.

Portal 2 is due out this holiday season for PC, Mac and Xbox 360.

Torchlight may be headed to consoles - March 12, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic games, the developers behind PC Action RPG Torchlight, said that the game may be headed to consoles and that a “serious effort” is being put into the idea.

“We’re going to put some serious effort into it — pretty quick — getting ‘Torchlight’ onto consoles,” Schaefer said.

“There’s a lot of really cool things about the console world, too, that would work well with our game.”

For fans of Diablo and Diablo-type games, Torchlight is an excellent addition to the genre, especially since Diablo III won’t be seen on PC for at least another hundred years or so.

Lady Gaga for Rock Band on March 16th - March 12, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

In what most people would believe is a sign of the Apocalypse, Lady Gaga is not only dominating mainstream media, but now making her way into video games. First it was LIPS, and now she’ll be appearing in a four-song DLC pack for Rock Band and Rock Band 2 on March 16th.

Not only that, we also have The Subways, Mute Math, 3 Doors Down, and the notorious Eric Cartman with his own version of “Poker Face” as seen on South Park.

Full list of releases after the cut.

Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution – trailers and screenshots - March 12, 2010 by Joe Pomerening

You might remember this trailer for Deus Ex 3, which didn’t really tell us much of anything about the game. In fact, there’s no gameplay in the video. There’s really nothing in the video at all, except for some abstract… Stuff.

Well, we’ve got a new trailer for you, which shows off a little more than “stuff”.

Unfortunately, we don’t get to see any combat in this trailer, either. But we do get to see what appears to be the main character having some sort of trippy, angelic dream where he flies into the sun and burns.

It’s unclear whether or not you’ll be playing as JC Denton or another clone of him like the previous titles, but the likeness is uncanny, so I feel it’s a safe bet that you play as another clone again.

We’ve got some screenshots and the new trailer after the jump.

Lara Croft coming to XBL, PSN and PC this summer - March 10, 2010 by Jens Erik Vaaler

Fans of Lara Croft won’t have to wait long before being able to go on yet another adventure with the sultry archeologist.

GDC is well under way and Joystiq met up with developer Crystal Dynamics in order to discuss the upcoming title. The game will launch this summer as a download only, being released for PC, 360 and PS3. The full price of the game will be $15.

As confirmed last week, the game will be a top-down isometric, arcade-style co-op game, vastly deviating from the Tomb Raider series regular third person action perspective. Players will take control of Lara Croft and a Mayan spearman named Totec. Together the two will solve puzzles, destroy enemies, platform and, presumably, raid tombs.

FFXIII ships 5 million units worldwide

Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy XIII has shipped over 5 million units worldwide, with at least 3 million of those accounting for US and Europe figures, as reported by Andriasang,

The game has shipped at least 2 million units in Japan since its launch back in December, and by all accounts it looks like it’s going to easily eclipse that success here in the west.

This figure brings sales of the franchise as a whole to a whopping 96 million units in 20 years. Not too shabby.
