Crytek has once again expressed disappointment at theCrysis 2leak. Producer Nathan Camarillo has stated that the leaked build is “really ugly” and doesn’t reflect the final product, urging players not to download it and get the wrong idea. “Piracy is a real concern. The PS3 has been cracked now as well and people are downloading PS3 games and 360 games are being downloaded so that’s a threat to just the industry in general,” he said....
I’ll be honest, I’m sick of writing stories that are about how there are no current plans or announcements for a newSSXtitle. But here we are… EA Sports head Peter Moore hasrevealed to Eurogamerthat the publisher has no plans to bring back the extreme snowboarding title… or at least it has nothing to announce. But there’s hope, as Moore callsSXX“a fabulous piece of intellectual property” and that “you never say never....
It’s one thing to talk about Chuck Greene’swonderful creations and toolsthat he uses inDead Rising 2. It’s a completely different story to see them in action. If you’re wondering just how a spiked bat finds its home in the cranium of a zombie, you’ll see it after the jump. Curious to see what happens when you shoot an explosive arrow into a crowd of the undead? We’ve got that, too. Just how curious are zombies when it comes to a flying toy helicopter?...
If you’re an older Wii owner, you may have been keeping an eye onDeadly Creatures, a game that has always seemed to me like it didn’t belong on the decidedly family-friendly console (except, of course, for its motion controls). The brawler/thriller, in which you play as a tarantula and a scorpion, was originally scheduled for release on Halloween, but waspushed backto a mid-December bow. Now,IGN is reportingthat the game won’t ship until February of next year....
Yesterday, I had the chance to sit down with Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Perrin Kaplan. Though it is a bit lenghty (just under 20 minutes), I feel the interview will give those of you curious about the Wii some good insight about the console.
In a recent blog post, EA 2D producer Ethan Levyblew the lid off ofDragon Age Journeys, an upcoming series of tactical RPG flash games based on — wait for it —Dragon Age: Origins. Announcing that EA 2D has “big plans” forJourneys, Levy said that the flash series will span three chapters. The first of which will “introduce” players to two filthy, Darkspawn-ridden locations: Orzammer and the Deep Roads. EA 2D plans to call this first chapterDragon Age Journeys: The Deep Roads....

Following the news thatDynasty Warriors 7was getting delayed in Europe and not North America, we now get word thatDynasty Warriors 7has … been delayed in North America. God damn it, Koei. Fortunately, the biggest cultural event sinceThree Men & A Little Ladyisn’t getting postponed for long — thegame’s official websitenow lists it for a March 29 release date, four days later than proposed. So far, there seems to be some confusion as to whether the game will be a PS3 exclusive in the West....
Question: Where wasKillzone 2duringSony’s Press Conferencetoday? They showed footage of the game during the video montage of Sony games, but they really didn’t mention the game at all. You’d think they would want to hype up another one of their first party titles. Whatever, Sony. If you don’t want to hype up one of your own damn games, I guess I’ll do it for you. Killzone 2will follow the ISA forces as they try and defend themselves against the Helghan invasion....
Just before E3, Ithrew a temper tantrumconcerning the lack ofDynasty WarriorsChibis in my life, and threatened to punch someone at the Koei booth and then take everything. Since my punching threatstend to come true, Koei took me seriously. Way seriously. As you can see, I now have in my clammy hands the first volume ofDynasty WarriorsChibis, and they are absolutely amazing. Easily the best swag I’ve ever had. Looking at them, I’m thinking that aDynasty Warriorsgame should actually be based on these things....
The last time I played a firefighting game was with an arcade game at some movie theater in Northern California. It was hella lame. However! We at Destructoid have a special place in our hearts for a game coming out August 4,Real Heroes Firefighter. It’s not that we particularly like the game or anything, it’s just that community member Kerry Cobuccio, (Naia-the-gamer for the ignorant) actually does voice work for the game!...
Really, Kojima? I know you love the teases, but I think we need to have an intervention or something. You’ve already done the mysterious game tease this E3, you don’tget another one. It doesn’t work like that. Fine, we’ll let this mysterious tease atyour sitego only because we are once again curious as to what you are doing. We obvioulsy knew of the first two games becauseCastlevania: Lord of Shadowwas announced last year andMetal Gear Solid: Risinggot shown off yesterday....
The general consensus is that the 2008 E3 Business and Media Summit sucked. And everyone you asked had their own reasons to say so. Some took issue with the ghost town of a convention hall, which seemed lifeless compared to previous events. Others were cranky about scheduling conflicts and travel. Many weren’t pleased with the “show floor,” and had hoped to see more games. Even our own Anthony Burch says that he thinks that this should be“the last E3 ever....
