It was only confirmed for PC, never for any console, even if they did imagine how many console cycles it would have to go through!
Depends on how the Take Two lawsuit ends, 3DR can either win, keep the publishing rights, and gain enough cash to pick up production again or Take Two will win, take the source code and do what ever they want with it.
That's actually from THQ's marketing campaign for MX vs. ATV IIRC, I think it was the 2007 game.
Actually Velvet Assassin is also on PC, if you can find it for $40 or under it's actually not a bad game.
Don't expect it to go exclusive anytime soon unless Midway is given millions to compensate since Mortal Kombat is a guarantee million title seller when multiplatform.
It depends, take North America and Europe for example, sex is more accepted in Europe then it is in North America, the reverse also applies to violence.
Kinda ironic how this move can destroy Japan's economy since it makes up a pretty huge chunk of the gaming market :P
So what happens to Midway now? Meaning if someone buys the entire company will it be Midway or just the assets?
The Xbox 360/PS3/"Revolution" were being hinted at 3 years into last generations lifespan. I think I still have a few magazines somwhere from 2003/2004 talking about the then "next generation" of systems.
MMORPG's, more specifically Phantasy Star have been doing something similar on consoles for a while now.
What on earth are you talking about? The description is obviously hinting at a gameshow type thing like 1 vs 100 on a much larger scale.
"building a backend capable of hosting a 300,000 player game in real-time with real money on the line"
Note the last 6 words..
The thing with the Sims is 10 years later it wills till be topping the NPD charts. I'd wait for sales numbers before saying piracy is really going to kill this game. Given the huge success of previous Sims titles I doubt it, but then again anything can happen!
It still has s small niche community that is dedicated, still a fun game to go back to every now and then.
The DLC is probably why, most were probably waiting for a chance to return to Fallout 3 after the game ends.
....well that was fast...
Oh the sexual harassment case? You mean the same case he won?
Itagaki is a modern day bad boy Japanese greaser who values Japanese customs, if you f**k with him he will blow your ass up!!11!!!!
He says he is being flexible but given his track record I doubt he will develop on anything but the Xbox 360, if anything maybe the DS or Wii.
Then again give how his studio is over 44 people in size perhaps he will remain the 360 guy while giving the rest of the teams their own freedom?
Itagaki is cool like that, he is so bad ass "f**k the man" on the outside yet he still holds Japanese customs close to himself.
Gamers ftw! A change from "shameless knockoff of Rock Band" from a certain well respected business publication!
