  6. The "Good" and The "Bad" News Thread :) :(

    Good News: Warner goes BLU-RAY exclusive. This was being anticipated for a long time. It is a big death blow to HD DVD camp and the begining of format war coming to an end.

     

    Bad News: This will lead to format monopoly. Format monopoly is not good for consumers.

     

     

    Watch for news of a previously Blu Ray exclusive studio supporting HD-DVD.

    really? :giggle: :giggle:

    Cory Barlog writes on his blog:

     

    "For me, the whole departure from Sony was not exactly the ideal route that I wanted to go, but in the end I think it is the absolute best thing I could have ever done. I am not going to go into any specifics as to what it is I am working on now, which sucks, but I can say that I am cooking up several things.

     

    I know for the God of War fans out there it might be a bummer that I am not working on God of War 3 (or for some it may be a good thing I am not) but rest assured that it is all in good hands. The Sony Santa Monica team is one of the best teams I have ever worked with. Also, immediately after I finished God of War 2 I was already working on the story and design for the third game. So when Sony and I finally did part ways the foundation of the game, along with story that completes the arc we began in God of War , was complete. I wish I could have been there to see it through to the end, but it was just not meant to be I guess. The story is going to finish off with a very big, very epic bang though. I think everyone will be quite pleased. Well, everyone except edge magazine that is. :giggle:"

    ^^ Which means you will have to buy a separate battery charger.

     

    The play & charge kit is simple and convenient. While you are plugged into the console it keeps recharging the batteries while you are gaming away. When you want to sit further away from the screen, unplug the cable. It lasts about 12+ hours between charges.

     

    here is my problem, it stopped charging the god damn batteries, i can connect the usb charger and play it.

    April 25th UK release for GTA IV

     

    Senior industry sources reveal massive title will miss Easter release period

     

    MCV understands that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV will NOT be released in March as expected – and will in fact be held back until the last week in April.

     

    Sources close to the game’s publisher have told MCV that the title’s UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2’s second financial quarter.

     

    That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.

     

    A Rockstar spokesperson told MCV that the publisher didn’t comment on ‘rumour and speculation’.

     

    f true, the rest of the market will breathe a huge sigh of relief – as they can enjoy the lucrative Easter period without doing battle with one of the biggest releases in recent years.

     

    The news has certainly come as a surprise to the trade. One prominent member of the channel told MCV:

     

    “The last I heard about GTA IV’s release was a couple of months ago, when all the changes were taking place at Take 2’s UK offices. Since then, they’ve gone a bit quiet on what’s going on with GTA IV.

     

    “The way Take 2 work on GTA has always been very secretive. I’d expect some more concrete news from them two or three weeks before release.”

    In a post-earnings conference call, Take-Two further dissected its fourth quarter earnings and answered questions from a group of industry watchers. While the publisher reaffirmed that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTAIV will launch simultaneously between February and March, Take-Two did say that the Xbox 360 version of the game will receive downloadable content into its fiscal year 2009. When asked whether the game will see a Wii release, a Take-Two representative said, "I think there are other titles that are better suited to the Wii than Grand Theft Auto 4."

     

    Despite a "very, very solid performance" by NBA 2K8, the publisher noted that its 2K Sports division did not turn a profit in 2007. Overall, sports titles accounted for 20 percent of the publisher's revenue for the quarter, according to Take-Two CFO Lainie Goldstein. Other sports titles released for the year included All-Pro Football 2K8, The BIGS, and Top Spin 2, among others.

     

    Following the strong performance of Carnival Games on the Wii, the publisher also noted that it would be bringing Cat Daddy Game's minigame compilation to the Nintendo DS this summer.
