GAMING NEWS PART DEUX

Perhaps we should pool together to buy some shares in Nintendo, to counter some investor-crazy? Also, I like the idea of there being a "Grackler Holdings Ltd".

So, more bad Nintendo news - Dan Adelman, aka Nintendo's indie guy, left... :/

Quote :

Dan Adelman announces that after nearly nine years with the company, he has decided to leave Nintendo of America to go full-blown indie himself. As the founder of Nintendo of America’s digital distribution business, Dan was one of the first mainstream industry professionals to recognize the importance of independent developers and advocate on their behalf. He plans to continue that success in a direct role on the ground across independent studios.

During his time at Nintendo, Dan oversaw the launch of hundreds of games and advised indie developers on game design, marketing campaigns, and general business strategy. He is best known for identifying and bringing great indie games like World of Goo, Cave Story and the BIT.TRIP series to major consoles before competing platforms took notice of indie developers.

Many indie teams recognize that the business-side is crucial to success but don’t have the resources to hire a full-time business or marketing expert. In his new endeavor, Adelman will take indie developers to the next level of success by working with them as a virtual team member to help them make informed business decisions and stand out from the rising tide of indies.

Prior to joining Nintendo in 2005, Adelman was a part of the launch team for the original Xbox, handling multi-million dollar third-party publisher business development deals as well as strategy planning for Xbox Live, which included launching XBLA. He graduated with honors from Oberlin College, and has an M.A. from Nagoya University and an MBA from Columbia University.

Additionally, Adelman is available for speaking opportunities, press interviews, and for general interaction via Twitter (@Dan_Adelman) and his blog: http://www.dan-adelman.com/. Developers interested in working with Dan can also contact him there.

Beemoh already posted that in the Wii U news thread.

A trailer for Assassin's Creed Rogue.

The premise is so much more interesting than Unity. Also, Irish Assassin? Yes please.

Never played an AC game before but depending on where that one is set I might pick it up, so I'll keep my eye on it.  :cyclops: 

Pro: the boots stuff is the only stuff I've enjoyed in the two AC games I've played (III and IV)
Con: it's not on wii u so it can do one.

It's set in New York in the mid 18th century, as well as parts of the frozen North Atlantic too.

Nice! That's a good time period & location, hopefully they do it justice.

My worry is that it'll be a bit of a rush job. With Unity coming out I can't see it feeling particularly good in comparison and reckon it will be more Brotherhood to Revelations than any of the other leaps...

I thought that be the one coming to Wii U, but seems it's get neither of the games coming this year.

Some news Evolve has been delayed to Feb 2015 which now looks a busy sort of month.

So it seems that Sleeping Dog's will be getting the remastered treatment and will be coming to PS4 & ONE in Oct as there's nothing else to play that month.

For Drunka


So do you feel special well Sony's Adam Boyes wants you to, you might of seen him at E3 the last two years showing indies off. He's in charge of 3rd party relationships and has basically said in an interview he can't wait for gamescom (Sony have shown more teasers today) and the company can't rest on there laurels. That even though the PS4 is the most powerful system on the market & people know this but it doesn't matter, just look at the 7th gen. Quality games matter and owning a PS4 you should feel special about owning one and this is part of Boyes job he has done this by getting 60minutes bonus content in watch dogs, bonus content in destiny, scarecrow missions in arkham knight etc having extra stuff which makes playing them on your PS4 special.

So does bonus content make you feel special in anyway and would you buy a game on a PS4 over a another system because of it.

Casey Hudson has departed Bioware after 16 years, he's best know for being the director on the mass effect trilogy. This does make me a bit wary about number 4 and the Doctor's leaving a while ago.  

Square Enix has revealed the Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Gold Edition. Which is retail collectors version of what you presume is a download title like the previous game. It will include a artbook, season pass, a figure and preorder bonus from various places it will be coming to PC & PS4 on December 9th. There will be a Xbox One version but in NA only.

Activision might be bringing back the Sierra brand whom a best know for adventure games such as Leisure Suit Larry.

Ryse 2 could come to PS4 according to The Crytek CEO, they own the IP and can do what the hell they like with it.

Now for some weird news about 4 indie homebrew games from superfighterteam.

About a few thing's, one jas will love.

BEGGAR PRINCE which was originally a Taiwan exclusive in 1996 for mega drive then SFT did a English translation as has been sold-out for years and goes for a pretty penny on eBay, have decided to re-release it in a special twentieth anniversary edition. Yep even indies are getting the re-release treatment and yes maybe could of gone in the re-release thread but it's part of one big news bit.

NIGHTMARE BUSTERS begins shipping in October! for the SNES, if you want a new SNES game. I did put this down in December 2013 releases but seems it got delayed quite a bit.

CASCADE and MAGIC GIRL will also coming to the mega drive, with CASCADE being never before seen as it never got released in Japan where it was meant to be a exclusive.

That beggar prince thing is actually a nice thing to do for those fans.

Yeah it is, I'm consider preording it but it's $70 still way cheaper then eBay and mine will say twentieth anniversary on it but I have to pay now and wait to get it in 2016 and with such a small company they could go tits up tomorrow,.

Tamoor has left CVG.

He's been a great presence on the podcasts, and will be missed.  

There's plans to do a Resident Evil TV Show, I think what's happened. Someone at Capcom's gone we need money that walking dead show does well then someone's gone let's make resident evil a TV show the films worked.

Sir Paul McCartney will release his Destiny soundtrack song as a single.

CM Punk will be in WWE 2k15, I guess development started before he left.

MGSV coming to Steam!

I'm very chuffed!  

Nintendo well the Pokemon Company are bringing the TCG to iOS and will come this year.



So it's finally happened a game on iOS, the TCG is a title which would work on that platform and if the big N are going to do stuff for it, then stuff needs to be what fit's not a shoehorned mario game just for share holders.

But would like to see this on the WiiU or or 3DS as a download at somepoint.

Was just going to post that. Guess we can look forward to yet more tedious "OMFG nintendo are going mobile" headlines...

Yep we will especially if it does well.

How independent are The Pokémon Company? Isn't something of theirs (i.e. the freakin' Pokédex) already on iOS? How much of the revenue actually gets to Nintendo?

And breathe.

Sexist man children on the Internet continue to ruin video gaming.
Depressingly standard stuff. Time to take a day off from twitter.

People continue to be bloody terrible. Details at 11.

It's worth pointing out on this story that the game has been available on PC for a bit: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/

In terms of independence, I think they're wholly-owned, so even if the revenue doesn't get formally passed up to Nintendo, it's basically under their control.

It seems that Phil Fish and his studio Polytron have been doxxed as a result of the above. All of Phil Fish's personal information, including passwords, bank details, home address and more as well as private financial information regarding Polytron have been stolen and leaked to the Internet at large.

Regardless of what you may think of Phil Fish, nobody, absolutely NOBODY deserves to have this done to them. The Internet can be a fucking disgusting place sometimes.
