'L.A. Noire' Script Reaches 22,000 Pages
Posted 3/24/10 1:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360
"L.A. Noire" looks like it will make lead actor Aaron Stanton earn his approximately $46,123 fee for playing Cole Phelps, as the game's script has reportedly swelled to a respectable 22,000 pages. Breaking down exactly how big that is, one of the game's developers explained the amount of writing that it takes to fill that much paper, no matter what entertainment medium you're working in.
After 'Batman: Arkham Asylum 2,' Rocksteady Open To Bane Game
Posted 3/24/10 11:30 am ET by Brian Warmoth in News
Warner Bros. Interactive has a wide range of choices as they decide what to build first at their new DC Comics-focused studio in Montreal. Batman, however, is covered over at Rocksteady Games, where a sequel to "Batman: Arkham Asylum" is already underway. No one outside of that studio knows what shape "Arkham Asylum 2" will take, but at least one creative mind there thinks that the Batman comics villain Bane could use a spin-off.
'FEAR 3' Better Not Be Called 'F3AR'
Posted 3/24/10 11:07 am ET by Russ Frushtick in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
A Spanish-language gaming magazine had a teaser for their next issue which featured a full page shot of some art from "FEAR 3." I call it "FEAR 3" but the artwork calls it something entirely different.
Audible sigh.
I've reached out to Warner Bros. to see if the next game in the "FEAR" franchise will indeed be called "F3AR," and I'm really hoping this is just some horrible Spanish-language mix-up.
'Cave Story' Review - The Closest You'll Get To A New 2D 'Metroid'
Posted 3/24/10 9:00 am ET by Brad Nicholson in Reviews, Wii
If you're into the indie games scene, "Cave Story," a one-man freeware PC project released in 2004, should ring a bell. Its creative action, astonishing narrative and lovingly crafted 8-bit presentation have kept it afloat amongst a wash of videogames in the rough, generating much deserved attention. I neglected to check it out until recently when the title finally hit WiiWare. So is it worth the look? Let's see.
LucasArts To BioWare: 'Don't Blow Up Anything We'll Use Later'
Posted 3/23/10 6:38 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PC, Video
When dealing with the enormity that is the "Star Wars" franchise, a lot can go wrong. Thankfully BioWare seems to have things well in-hand, as least when it comes to their prequel timeline and the "Old Republic" series of games. But LucasArts is always there to lend a helping hand if there's ever a question on what they can and can't do.
For example, here's rule number one for making a "Star Wars" game set before the movies, as told by Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, the co-founders of BioWare:
'Plants Vs. Zombies' Began Underwater
Posted 3/23/10 6:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC, iPhone / iPad
PopCap games didn't originally want zombies on their lawns. They wanted the game that became "Plants vs. Zombies" to take place in the world of their other title "Insaniquarium," but fate had other plans. In fact, zombies were initially a part of the supporting cast and gradually rose up from the sidelines to redefine the entire game concept, and sketches from the development team reveal aliens and bugs that gradually got left behind.
Apple's App Store Now Allows Gifting
Posted 3/23/10 5:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, iPhone / iPad
If you really want to give that special someone in your life a copy of "Street Fighter 4" or one of Square Enix's "Final Fantasy" re-releases on iPhone, you can now gift any one of them directly, instead of just relying on a gift card. Some changes to Apple's App Store this week opened up a gifting option on all of the apps and games there, meaning you don't have to worry about giving your friend a $10 gift card for a specific game, only to watch them accidentally blow it on similarly labeled player's guide or "photo album."
Some form of "LittleBigPlanet" gaming will be compatible with Sony's new PlayStation Move controller, but the heat went up under speculation that a "LittleBigPlanet 2" will a part of that plan now that the title has been mentioned by someone in the know. While casually describing plans for the Move, Sony Benelux's brand manager Folkert Langeveld seemingly mentioned "LittleBigPlanet Twee," and it's set off a debate over whether or not he simply misspoke while talking about "LittleBigPlanet" compatibility or intentionally acknowledged a full-on Move-ready sequel.
Five Nintendo 3DS Games That Need To Happen
Posted 3/23/10 2:01 pm ET by John Constantine in 3DS / DS, Features
The Nintendo 3DS is coming, whether you like it or not. As it turns out, we're in the "like it" group...at least from the little we've heard so far. But as they say in the gaming world, it's all about the software. Here are five games that need to be made for the Nintendo 3DS.
Square Enix To 'Explore The Possibility' Of A 'Final Fantasy VII' Remake
Posted 3/23/10 12:30 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News
If Hollywood can remake "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "King Kong," why shouldn't Square Enix be open to updating "Final Fantasy VII"? Afterall, they've already polished up "Final Fantasy" and "Final Fantasy II" for the iPhone. Well, it turns out that they may be open to remastering "VII," too, even if they haven't picked out a platform.
