Diablo III for... PS3!?

German retailers keep listing a PS3 version of the epic Diablo III game for pre-order, could this actually be something revealed at E3?

Blizzard has given interest into bringing their games onto consoles, especially this one, and also they've hired new employees for a "special" project not too long ago. This could be a hoax, but is it really? Sony has made no confirmation cause they don't answer anything that's rumor or speculation, at least not until those rumors and speculations are proven more so. If it is true, the German retailers list it as being only available for PS3, as a console form of course. This would also make Sony loads of money, since this is a huge game trilogy and Sony would need the money.

So what are everyone's thoughts? Is this a good idea or something uninteresting?

What will, or Should, be Valves next big Game?

Valve is a very beloved game company that truly expounds on what gaming should be. But after their successful release of the amazing Portal 2 game, what's next? Sure there are rumors of them possibly making a PC based console but is that really their next big project?

When we think of an upcoming Valve game, we think of sequels to the game that are already awesome. Here are some of the big possibilities:

Half - Life 3 (or another episode)

Half - Life is a huge franchise of Valves, possibly their biggest, and it's no wonder that people have been anticipating another game entry for what seems like forever. It is highly rumored that the next game will actually be Half - Life 3, but at this point we don't care if it's even just another episode.

Portal 3
 Portal 2 came out just last year, but people are already demanding for Portal 3. It is bound to happen eventually, Valve made that point clear, but could it be their next big game? Would they want to make the third to quickly finish off the Portal games as a trilogy?

Left 4 Dead 3
 Why not return to the Zombie series? The second game proved to be a great sequel to the first, perhaps the third can make that even better? 

Team Fortress 3
Another game that ends on the third note, could another Team fortress be on its way? I'm not a big fan of this series because it's my least favorite of the Valve games, but could it be coming?

Perhaps a Collision?
How does "Half - Portal: Left 4 Fortress 3" sound? Joking aside, we know that Half - Life and Portal take place within the same universe, so a game like this is not far fetched at all...

Other Possibilities:

• Alien Swarm 2
• Deathmatch 2
• Day of Defeat 2
• Dota 3
• another Counter-Strike? (besides the next one coming in 2012)

What do you think will be Valves next major game? Will it be a Sequel or something completely new and Original? 

UPDATE: Valve is releasing Dota 2 and Counter - Strike: Global Offensive this year, but I speak of what game they haven't announced, the one(s) coming out after 2012 so to speak.
 
 


 

Will Star Fox and Metroid collide???

Please take this with a Grain of Salt, but it is possible that these two characters, as well as their worlds, will collide in one big Nintendo game.

It is rumored that Retro studios next game will actually be a crossover between the Star fox and Metroid franchises coming out for the Wii U. The belief is that Retro decided to do this over doing another Star fox game and a new Third-Person entry, and that this game will possibly be titled: "Star Fox - Metroid: Fusion saga."This rumor comes from a PGN blog post that was also correct about old rumors for "Playstation All Stars Battle Royale" before the game was officially announced. Put not even PGN knows if these rumors are true or not.

True to each franchise, Star Fox segments of the game are based on high-action, high energy third-person air and land-based combat, both in Arwings and on-foot. Conversely Metroid portions of the title are more isolated, lonely, and based on the first-person perspective introduced with Metroid Prime.

If this becomes truth, would you be excited over this? Can these two franchises collide and work as one big game?

Soul Sacrifice gets a new teaser, looks more and more like a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls game

A new teaser showing tidbits of gameplay has surfaced, and it Definitely looks strangely familiar.

Sony could be launching a third soul entry in the franchise, still it is unclear if this is a game in the same series, what we do know is that it'll be a PS Vita exclusive. Check out the video below:

RUMOR: could Dead Space 3 be revealed at E3 this year?

EA has responded to Gameinformer and said said many big game announcements will be revealed such as Madden NFL, FIFA, Sim City, Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, and Deadspace for this years E3 press conference. Now, we're unclear if this will actually be Dead Space 3 or some other Extraction game. But a logo teaser was seen at Visceral's studio, and rumors have reported that the game would primarily take place on an ice planet (which now could've been a hint for Lost Planet 3). Either way, a new Dead Space game should be coming out before EA's deadline of March 2013, after that any Dead Space game would probably be helped by some other company.

Will this next Dead Space be the highly anticipated third game?

an Xbox 360 Subscription console for $99 is confirmed

An Xbox 360 for $99, via Subscription-based, has been officially confirmed. It is a 4GB console that comes with Kinect and also requires that you get a two year Xbox LIVE gold contract of $14.99 a month. More can be learned by This Coupon which is required when you go to buy it, in order to redeem the deal.

Could this be a hint at lesser priced consoles for the future? Or is that just an unlikely dream?

Playstation All-stars Battle Royale announced / Tom West impressed

That's right, and oh jeez. Playstation is making a game that is extremely similar to "Super Smash Bros." games, the difference? It is different!

This game has huge similarities with Nintendo's title, having all company-based characters beating the crap out of each other on a big open level that's unique and whatnot. But there are indeed striking differences, for example: pretty much all of Nintendo characters are E rated fighters at best, Sony however has multiple characters from all types of ratings (Kratos=M, Sackboy=E, Sly Cooper=T, etc.). Another difference is that this game, as far as we know, actually uses life bars instead of the hit point strategy in Smash Bros.. The background also constantly changes, now we aren't sure how this works exactly. The background can go from having Patapon's marching (like the picture above) to becoming a LittleBigPlanet forest world. It seems as though you can pick the actual level stage, like the one above being Hades underworld, and probably picking what backgrounds appear. Agian, nothing is for sure at this point.

Yeah it takes an idea from Nintendo, but all games basically take ideas from somewhere. And I am personally impressed with this game. I don't care if it's Nintendo, Playstation, or Xbox even, I just want to play my favorite characters and beat the crap out of others :D

Now here's a thought, will Xbox do something similar in the future?

So far the only characters revealed are Sweet Tooth, Fat Princess, Kratos, Helghan soldier, and Sly Cooper but many more will be revealed in the coming months. No release date for this game is confirmed?

What do you guys think? Is this a good idea to make a Playstation version of Smash Bros.? Or do you nitpick and believe that creativity is dead?

Prey 2 has not been worked on since November...

It's good to know that Prey 2 has not been canceled and will be expected sometime in 2013, but why the major rumors of it being canceled? well since the game was put on hold since November, one could easily jump to conclusions.

Prey 2 has been in turmoil for quite some time. Apparently, Human Head was unhappy with its contract with ZeniMax and performed a sort of mutiny, pausing the game's development in hopes of working out a better deal. In the meantime, developers were laid off with hopes that they would be able to return once a settlement was reached.

If anyone remembers, the first Prey was also in Limbo hell for nearly ten years before it was finally released on the 360. So will the game finally get released in 2013, or will it continue to delay until it gets released on the next generation consoles?

Prey 2 Delayed

[UPDATE]
Bethesda has confirmed this morning that Prey 2 is not cancelled, but has been delayed. Here's what they said:

Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled but the game will not be released in 2012 as planned. The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards. Prey 2 has shown great promise and we regret disappointing our fans. We have made a substantial investment in game development to deliver the experience fans want. We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule.

It's good to see that a great looking game like this isn't getting thrown on the scrap heap. If all goes well, we'll see Prey 2 on store shelves in 2013.

[ORIGINAL POST]
This rumor has been floating around in a few people's minds for a while. It all started with Zenimax pulling information about Prey 2 was withdrawn from this year's GDC.

The rumor is becoming more possible with today's reveal from Dutch gaming site PS Focus. According to their inside source, Bethesda will announce the cancellation next week. There is a possibility this isn't true, and I'm hoping it isn't. I've been incredibly excited for this game ever since they showed the game in motion last E3.

I'm not the only one excited. There have been many sites that have had good things to say about, including 4Player Podcast who gave it their Game of the Show award last year. It's a shame to see such a promising title possibly not seeing the light of day. We'll update when Bethesda makes their announcement next week. Here's some gameplay of Prey 2:
