*Talking to the Real Drunken Master

 

Kikizo recently had their annual pow wow with games industry Rock and Shot star Tomonobu Itagaki. In between all the jives and downings of booze the head of team Ninja did drop some interesting snippets of intel. Here's a quick rundown.

 

*DOA Code Cronus (X360) is still being tossed around in the back of Itagaki's mind. Who knows when it'll finally be released

 

* Ninja Gaiden 2 (X360) has entered the early phases of production! But the chances of hearing anything on it until E3 07 are slim.

 

* DOAX2 will have both a head to head racing mode for it's Jet Ski segments and a Free Form stunt mode for catching air off waves. There'll also be an extremely uhm indepth picture mode.

 

* Itagaki has expressed interest in both the PS3 and the Wii but whether he'll ever develop games for them is anyone's guess. he only like to work on one project at a time.

Microsoft Plans to Release IPod Rival for Christmas (Update1)

 

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp. is planning to have a portable music and video player out by Christmas in a challenge to Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod.

 

The digital player will have a wireless Internet connection, enabling users to download music without being linked to a computer,

a feature the iPod doesn't offer, according to people briefed on Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft's plans.

 

Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, is seeking to take share from Apple's iPod, which commands 77 percent of the $4 billion U.S. market for digital music players, based on figures from market researcher NPD Group Inc.

Apple's iTunes music store is used for 72 percent of music downloads. Microsoft has spent the past six years relying on partners to make players that use its software.

 

``None of Microsoft's partners are doing the job that needs to be done,'' said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with Jupiter Research in New York.

``Apple has set it up so Apple music flows only to Apple devices. It locks Microsoft out and gives Apple more of a hold.''

 

Microsoft hired music industry executive Chris Stephenson, who is among Microsoft officials who have met with music and Hollywood companies to seek licenses for their content, according to industry officials with knowledge of the plans.

J Allard, 37, a Microsoft Xbox vice president, is overseeing the development of the device, the people said.

 

Microsoft met with music companies including EMI Group Plc and Universal Music Group, and TV broadcasters NBC, Fox and CBS Corp. to gain content for a music and video store to compete with Apple's iTunes, according to people familiar with the meetings. Sally Julien, a spokeswoman for Microsoft, declined to comment, as did representatives of the music companies and TV networks.

 

Challenge

 

Microsoft's device will be able to connect to the Internet and other devices using the wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, standard, which iTunes doesn't have, the people said.

 

Microsoft is also promising the screen will have a better quality picture than the iPod, according to the people, who saw the slideshow Microsoft is using to promote the device.

 

The music and TV companies are interested in working with Microsoft in order to blunt Apple's power in the market, according to people close to the media companies.

 

Since Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs introduced the iPod in October 2001, the company has sold more than 50.8 million players. Apple also is talking with Hollywood studios to add movies to the music, television shows and podcasts already offered on iTunes, Variety magazine reported on June 19.

 

Microsoft shares fell 28 cents to $23.42 at 2:29 p.m. in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. They have lost 9.4 percent this year through yesterday. Shares of Apple dropped 97 cents to $56.98 and are down 19 percent.

 

Bach Influence

 

Microsoft's device is being developed under the supervision of Robbie Bach, who leads the unit that produces the Xbox video- game console. Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer last year tapped Bach to take on the added role of overseeing Microsoft's music strategy. With the Xbox, Bach, 44, had overseen the most significant of Microsoft's few forays into building its own hardware.

 

``This would not be the first time Microsoft has decided it needed to take control of its own destiny with regard to hardware,'' Gartenberg said. ``Not coincidentally, the last time they did that it was in video games and the guys doing it were named Robbie Bach and J Allard.''

 

Stephenson has been senior vice president of sales and marketing at House of Blues Entertainment Inc., a concert promoter and manager of music and restaurant venues.

 

Urge

 

Microsoft's MSN Music store has 3 percent of the market for music downloads. The company has a partnership with Viacom Inc.'s MTV on a music service called Urge and any new subscription service Microsoft builds for its new device would compete with Urge. Microsoft also promotes RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody service as part of an antitrust lawsuit settlement.

 

In a February interview, Ballmer said Microsoft is ``committed to doing what it takes to succeed'' against Apple.

 

Microsoft has relied on partners including Milpitas, California-based Sandisk Corp., Creative Technology Ltd., Toshiba Corp., Dell Inc. and Sonicblue Inc.'s Rio unit to sell hardware with Microsoft software.

 

Sandisk is the closest competitor to Apple's iPod, with a market share of less than 10 percent, Port Washington, New York- based NPD said.

[b']Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed is PS3 Exclusive[/b]

http://www.news4gamers.com/ps3/News-3726.aspx

Product Manager of Ubisoft Nordic Harald Horsberg says that the game is announced exclusively for the PS3 after he had been in contact with the French HQ...

“there are no indications that this game is headed for other formats besides the PS3”

 

"Ubisoft have confirmed no such thing. Assassin's Creed will come on PlayStation 3 and at this time, no other platform has been confirmed." said UbiRazz.

 

This of course wonʼt kill the rumors for good, as people will still argue that a 360 version could become available somewhere down the line, maybe 6-12 months after the PS3 version, but at the moment the official word from Ubisoft is that Assassin's Creed is a PS3 exclusive.

Exclusive: Assassins Creed: NOT PS3 exclusive

Bloody hell. Day of the exclusives it would seem.

 

While talking to a Ubi employee who asked not to be named, he accidentally let slip that Assassin's Creed is being developed on 360 as well. When we asked what 'exclusive' meant upon catching him out, he shut up, but we'll assume exclusive means 'timed exclusive'.

 

So there you go.
