No Director For The Kane & Lynch Movie
Please don't make me direct this!
First of all, yes, they are making a Kane & Lynch movie. Second of all, they are not making it for the moment at least. Patrick Alessandrin was supposed to direct it, but he's out of the picture now, probably because he was busy not fucking up his career or something.
The production start date has now been postponed, possibly until the Q1 of 2011 and there is no new director yet, thank God. Supposedly, the movie will feature Bruce Willis in Kane's role and Jamie Foxx in Lynch's, but let's not get excited over this since it never ends well when games are made into movies, no matter who plays in them.
CliffyB Almost Bit The Hand That Feeds Him
Just a piece of his awesomeness
I always thought of Cliff Bleszinski as a pretty cool guy, mostly because of his bold speeches. This morning, I was checking the Twitter when I saw him post this: "therealcliffyb: Motion controls shouldn't have midnight launches. They should have post daycare launches."
Funny shit, since I thought he shared my sentiments on the subject. I also thought "Oh, how brave of him to go after Kinect and Microsoft, the guys who keep him in business and all". I was about to check him on my big balled people list, when 5 minutes later he adds: "therealcliffyb: And for the record I love Kinect. 
"
Awwww... It's just like a bad comedy flick: "This teacher sucks! Oh, I mean rocks, don't fail me!". I guess he realized Twitter is a public website and anyone can read it, including MS. Too bad.
NFS Hot Pursuit Will Not Have A Story
Criterion had an epiphany and realized that racing games do not need a storyline, since you know, it's about cars and stuff, so instead of trying to make something up they simply didn't. The game's title tells us all we need to know: there will be racers and there will be cops. As racers we'll have to outrun the cops, and as cops we'll have to bust the racers. No drama, no nothing. Here are some of Mark Webster's words(senior producer at Criterion):
"We didn't really think it was necessary to include a story. If you're a cop, the aim is to go up the ranks, while a racer's aim is to get to the highest rank they can.
There is a full Career of events. As a racer, you have Time Trials, Races and Hot Pursuits, whereas as a cop you have Rapid Responses, Hot Pursuits and Interceptors. So yeah, there is a chunk of gameplay for the solo player."
Crytek Is Working With The Government
CryEngine 3 is a serious business.
You may think that video games are made by people who in their spare time go to ComiCon and have lovely picnics in parks, but the truth is that they are like any other people working in a major industry: at one point, the military comes demanding your services. This also means top secret stuff you are not allowed to share with your family, or the press for that matter.
Since Crytek develops one of the best graphic and physics engines out there, it was only a matter of time until the government and some other major companies became interested in making their simulations more hi-end. Allegedly they currently have seven studious under their umbrella, and the seventh is the one called "The Seventh Studio". Cevat Yerli spoke with Gamasutra and told them he is not allowed to say anything about this mysterious studio, since it's part of a military project. Here are some of his words:
Gay Space Marines Are The Real Problem of Today’s Video Games
They could very well have their dicks out too, it makes no difference
I like it when someone with authority speaks up about the real issues in video games today. Usually, when this subject comes up most of the big guys in the industry sugar coat it and try to make us believe that everything is fine, as long as we keep buying games without paying attention to their flaws and most of all, prices.
But from time to time, a hero is born. A hero that, just like Neo in The Matrix, can see the real world as it is. Today, that hero's name is Denby Grace and he's the senior producer of Mafia 2 at 2K Games. He was giving an interview for MTV Multiplayer Blog when the following question arrived: "What is the real problem the games industry faces in 2010?".
His answer shook the foundation of our very reality, by being dangerously spot on: "It's a very good question and maybe a little general for a concise answer. An obsession with gay space marines."
Fellow gamers, the time has come. Our messiah is here, our wait has not been in vain. Raise your hands and pray, for the truth is finally out there.
Halo Reach
It looks like Halo Reach is out. Hurray. Dr. Alzh doesn't care for this game, and for a good reason: he hasn't got an Xbox 360. He's has nohing against it, it just happens to be like that. So no Halo Reach hype at our place. Get lost.
Blizzard’s Next-Gen MMO Is A Major Investment
You may not have heard about it, but Blizzard is also working on a big new online franchise besides the next Starcraft 2 episodes and Diablo 3. Emphasize on big, because that's the key word Activision is trying to utter. Bobby Kotick called this project "an enormous investment", putting it side by side with their other big investment at Bungie. Yes it's Kotick, yes he's a money grabbing whore but still, we're talking Blizzard over here so there must be some truth to his words.
Sony Online Entertainment reveals EverQuest Next
EverQuest is one of the longest standing series of MMO's, and it doesn't plan on giving up soon either. This weekend at Fan Faire, Sony Online Entertainment announced the next title in the series, cleverly named EverQuest Next.
Torchlight 2 in April 2011
Are your right hand fingers still normal and able to function, or are they sore and twitch from time to time? Aside from masturbating a lot, you might be one of those people who really liked spending hours doing Baal runs and collecting runes and uniques, and maybe you still do. Of course, I am talking about Diablo, but this news is not about Diablo, is about the next best thing after it, which is Torchlight.
