Next-gen console sales healthy at HMV

PS3 meeting expectations

 

The PS3 is said to be exceeding sales targets, although the retailer expects a performance boost when Sony opts to lower the price.

 

"Sales remain in line with expectations, occasionally even exceeding them," commented Tim Ellis, head of games for the entertainment specialist.

 

"We're looking forward to further games releases, and when the time's right, a suitable price revision to take the console to its next level of sales."

Ninja Gaiden Demo Connectivity

Play the demo, get stuff in the final version.

 

As further proof of their infinite rockingness, Team Ninja and Tecmo have announced a way to extend the life of the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo that's now available for download via the PlayStation Store.

 

The final version of the game will be able to detect how much of the demo you've played, and will reward you with an appropriate amount of Yellow Essence. This in-game form of currency can be used to purchase items and power-up your weapons, possibly making your first play-through of the full game a bit easier. Given the difficulty level we've come to expect from a Team Ninja title, this sounds like a good deal.

 

Those who want to get a head start on their fellow players prior to Sigma's release in a few weeks should start by downloading the free demo.

FFVII Not Being Remade -- Nomura

A Square Enix power player has issued the most direct denial yet of a Final Fantasy VII remake. Speaking with Japan's monthly Dorimaga gaming publication, character designer Tetsuya Nomura said, "It appears that there are often overseas rumors like 'Are you currently developing a VII remake?' My apologies, but were absolutely not making [such a game]."

 

But, as usual, all isn't necessarily lost. Yoshinori Kitase, overall director of the FFVII series, followed up with, "However, when we ask the staff who are making FFXIII why they entered the company, there are many people who say, 'I'm an FFVII fan, I also want to do a remake.'" To this, Nomura added, "We of course know ourselves what the fans want so we'd like to continue thinking up a variety of things. As long as there are people who want to make it and people who are waiting for it, we don't want to proclaim 'the end.'"

 

Outside of these comments, the two shared a few interesting insights into the development of what is arguably the most renown Final Fantasy game to date.

 

Nomura recalled the creation of the game's plot, which was originally written by Hironobu Sakaguchi, now of Mistwalker. Nomura, who claims to still have a copy of the plot, noted how "completely different" it is from the final version. "I think he wanted to do something like a detective story? There was a character called Hot Blooded Detective Joe."

 

The Midgar city was already in place at this point. The early part of the story that was written by Sakaguchi involved Detective Joe chasing after the main characters, who then blow up the city.

 

Obviously, the story changed some once Nomura and Kitase got involved. While Nomura went off into the character design and visual work following some initial changes to Sakaguchi's plot, Kitase and Kazushige Nojima came up with the sections on Avalanche and Shinra, Cloud's background story, and the relationship between Cloud and Sephiroth. Sakaguchi came up with the specifics on the Life Stream in his original plot, but this also saw some work by Kitase and crew before finally being placed in the game.

 

With Nomura's strong denial in this interview, all those hoping for an FFVII remake to close off the series' 10th anniversary in style this year appear to be out of luck. Of course, there's no law against flat out lying to magazines that include pullout posters of big-busted anime chicks in every issue, so keep the candles lit

Rumor Clean-Up: Mark Rein on Gears Coming to PS3

Forum tomfoolery leads to internet gossip outbreak.

Some interesting internet happenings last week provided a perfect example of how rumors spiral out of control. If you've never heard of the Sony Protection Group, you're not missing much. In their own words, the group and website were founded as "a movement against Wii60 and a movement towards the Playstation 3" that can serve as "Sony's defense" against a perceived push of lies and rumors harming their beloved company.

 

As if that wasn't enough, Deeko! News chronicled a lurid tale of anger and intrigue surrounding the site. It started with a community member's forum post suggesting Xbox 360 megahit Gears of War could be headed to the PS3 in sequel form:

 

"...it would seem that Developer/Publisher relations between Epic and Microsoft Game Studios is at an all time low and even spilling out into the public. In short, Epic has had to break every rule they've laid down for themselves and their reputation with the PC gaming community in the name of Microsoft profiteering... and they know it!"

 

But it was the next line that angered a few important people:

 

"Cliff Bleszinski of Epic has even been quoted as threatening Microsoft to port over GOW to the PS3 to try to leverage some developer rights over the content of the game and XBox Live, but they have already inked the contract and Microsoft is winning much to the chagrin of Epic."

 

The poster went on to suggest "Maybe we'll see a Gears of War Sigma," referring to last-gen Xbox exclusive and current-gen PS3 lust-earner Ninja Gaiden Sigma. The thread continued for five pages, with some support and some naysaying. Site founder Narutoboy responded, "I don't see this actually happening, but from what i'm reading, it sounds possible," while at least two different moderators admitting they didn't believe it likely. Unfortunately, no one argued against the unsubstantiated claim CliffyB had threatened to port Gears to the PS3.

 

Here's where things get strange. Several sites, including News For Gamers and Video Gamers of America, picked up on the forum post and started reporting it as news. The story has since been removed from most sites, but for a brief moment, it turned musings of a forum fanboy into a "real" rumor.

 

Epic didn't stand for this for long, though, as evidenced by the response when the story popped up in a thread on the official Gears of War forums. Epic vice president Mark Rein had this to say:

 

"This story is complete bull****. I emailed the site and asked them to take it down. We're very happy with our relationship with Microsoft. If it weren't for them Gears wouldn't be the huge hit it has become."

 

To quote SPG's Narutoboy (and giving the Sony Protection Group a fair shake, despite their agenda), "This story got waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of hand."
