Sega delays Condemned 2

 

Sega sent out an updated release schedule today which shows that the release of Condemned 2 will be facing a one month delay. The game was supposed to be released in February for but has now been pushed back to March 2008. No exact date was given.

 

In case youʼve forgotten what the game is all about: Players will assume the identity of Ethan Thomas, the former Serial Crimes Unit investigator, whoʼs been called back to duty to track down his missing partner. As Ethan, players will engage in visceral combat using a variety of firearms, blunt instruments and an all-new fighting system complete with defensive and offensive combo chains. To help track the killer and solve the mysteries behind Condemned 2: Bloodshot, players will crack open an all-new set of high-tech forensic tools. Using wits and brute strength, murders can be solved in a number of different ways to keep players guessing throughout each suspenseful investigation.

 

The delay affects both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

Rumor: MS see brief demo of MGS 4 in action, walk away impressed

 

According to an Indian gaming site, MS executives recently experienced a brief demo of MGS 4 and came back really impressed.

Rumor 101: Microsoftʼs “Metal Gear” for the Xbox 360

 

There are still a few days before the New Year officially dawns upon us. But the industry is in no mood to slow down. If you guys thought that 2007 was one of the biggest years, it would be a mere understatement, for 2008 shall bring us to our knees for it is the return of the prodigal son on his favorite console and this epic drama under the guise of an espionage game gets better and better each time we witness it in motion. (Drum Roll) and Snake slithers onto our television screens.

 

It seems absolutely impossible to notice that Microsoft is unfazed by Metal Gear Solid 4, the titan of all games released during the year on the PS3. Splinter Cell: Conviction might not be powerful enough to scratch our beloved Solid Snake, so Microsoft has decided to bring something as brilliant as the game on the 360.Word has it that the company is in collaboration with a highly talented studio that can give their Xbox 360 something way better than Snake.

 

According to sources, Microsoft executives saw a brief demo of the game and came back thoroughly impressed. The core gameplay mechanics has somewhat been finalized, but the studio is yet to decide on the gameplay perspective (first person Vs third person). The game is rumored to take place in the future and will incorporate major political events that have occurred in the last few years. The studio has managed to pull off visuals that were previously thought to be next to impossible on the Xbox 360 and is supposed to look better than any PS3 game that has been shown or is available on the platform exclusively till date.

 

Metal Gear loggerheads and fanatics are going to have an insanely twisted time with the game, says the source. Watch out for further announcements regarding this uber-title sometime in the middle of 2008.

Is This The Gears of War 2 UK Release Date?

 

Amazon.com have already given an indication of when Gears of War 2 should be hitting store shelves in the US when it started taking pre-orders for the new game and set a release date of the 15th of Nov. 2008.

 

Now the UK have been given the same treatment and Gears of War 2 is now available to pre-order and Amazon have set the british release date for the 30th of December 2008.

 

 

Now of course this is in no way official and publishers don't usually release games that soon after christmas, but even so it is a good indication of when the gaming world expects this new title to hit the United Kingdom.

 

Why not pre-order now at Amazon.co.uk.

διαφορετικα αρθρα λενε διαφορετικα πραγματα.

το ενα λεει οτι δειξανε το mgs4 demo σε ανθρωπους της m$,

το αλλο λεει οτι η m$ παλι τα σκαει για exclusive game το οποιο θα ειναι στην λογικη του mgs αλλα θα ειναι συνολικα καλυτερο και πολυ εντυπωσιακο, οπως ηταν το gears στην εποχη του. (και δεν ειναι το επομενο splinter cell, το οποιο φυσικα γνωριζουμε ηδη οτι ειναι 360 exclusive)

 

και τα 2 καλα ειναι, αν ισχυουν, αλλα για μενα ειδικα το 2ο ειναι προτιμοτερο. ;]

Why Konamiʼs Metal Gear Solid 4 Should Be Multiplatform

So the wishful thinking begins again. You donʼt have to wonder why so many Xbox 360 gamers would love Metal Gear Solid 4 to go multiplatform. The series has had a huge success on many platforms from MSX to the Xbox. Konami has made millions of dollars on this franchise but for some bullheaded reason, will not go multiplatform with itʼs latest triple A title. Is Hideo Kojima just a Sony fanboy in disguise?

 

Weʼve seen the numbers and not even Kaz Hirai can deny that the Xbox 360 attach rate is dumbfounding. Even on that tiny island called Japan where about 8,000 Xbox 360ʼs are sold a week, the attach rate is still higher than the hotter selling PS3. So the question here is, what attracts 3rd party developers to consoles? If a console sells well but 3rd party titles collect dust(think Wii), thereʼs obviously no motivation to spend millions of development dollars on a longshot. In the case of the Xbox 360, pretty much everything sells from 1st to 3rd party. Xbox 360 has 29 games that have sold over 1 million copies worldwide. The Playstation 3 has 4 games that have sold over 1 million copies. 2 of those games are mulitplatform. The Wii has 15 games that have sold over 1 million and half of those are first party titles.

 

So I ask a question to all of you readers out there: if you became a 3rd party developer today, what systems would you release your first game on? Youʼd be a fool to say PS3 only, even if you are a fanboy. There is too much money to be made on both platforms; moreso on the Xbox 360. This brings us back to our original issue; what is Konami thinking?

 

MGS4 has been in development for many years. Itʼs setup to be the biggest game of 2008 along with Final Fantasy XIII. Konami has spent millions on the game and hopes to move 1 million copies in itʼs first week. Looking at the numbers, how do they expect to move 1 million copies when the best PS3 title to date, Uncharted: Drakeʼs Fortune, has only been able to move 552,000 copies worldwide? Now 552k is a good number for a 3rd party after six weeks, but MGS4 needs bigger numbers. If the masses of PS3 owners who like 3D action games bought 552,000 copies of Uncharted, where are the other 448,000 that are supposed to buy MGS4 but didnʼt buy Uncharted?

 

Iʼve read interviews and postings about Kojima that has stated that itʼs PS3 exclusive several times. Is that smart business? I can bet that if it also came out on the 360, they could move a million units in less than a month. Thatʼs in addition to whatever they sell on the PS3. By going exclusive with a game like this, they are basically throwing millions of dollars down the drain.

 

3rd party exclusives are a thing of the past. 3rd party developers need to look out for their best interest. Whatever happened to making the game available to as many gamers as possible? Capcom, From Software, Sega and Namco all went multiplatform and are reaping the rewards. Whatʼs stopping Konami from doing the same? Is it Kojimaʼs arrogance or Konamiʼs allegiance to Sony? Only time will tell and as we near the end of 2007, time seems to be running out.

ωραίο κείμενο xrest,

από την άλλη όμως κακά τα ψέματα το MGS4 είναι Game το οποίο θα φέρει και χιλιάδες πωλήσεις PS3 και σίγουρα θα έχει πέσει αρκετό χρήμα από τη SONY
