I can't ask on gaf for ... reasons but

Isn't that what the bad guys looked liked in Beyond Good and Evil?  Would the perspective be Jade being stealthy beneath a manhole cover?  Beyond Good and Evil 2 not dead?



Man...I dunno. I hope so.

Have you seen the Just Dance 2 numbers?  Its stupidly popular.

It's really buggy. And crashes a lot. I mean if you're going to play through this version as unplayable as it is then you're either mostly just curious or you were never going to buy the game anyway.

have you been living in a hole? :(

Kinect is immensely popular and one of the biggest bullet points of last year's holiday season alongside the ipad and kindle.

I could barely keep up with the stuff I'm interested in, let alone the stuff that I don't give a rats ass about (motion control gaming, cellphone/iPad games). :P

Analyst says $20-$22 per share bid would be sufficient; Says interest might spark rival bid from EA

One US analyst has predicted that publisher Take-Two would accept a takeover bid of around $20-$22 per share from rival company Activision.

MCV exclusively revealed last Friday that there's increasing noise about a possible move amongst some of the industry's highest level execs.

And now speaking on Twitter, US analyst service First Adopter reckons that the cancellation of the Guitar Hero IP means Activision must look to increase its stable of successful IP.

"The market caps Activision at $13bn, EA at $6.1bn and Take-Two at $1.3bn. More consolidation is a no brainer in my opinion, especially after Activision shut down Guitar Hero, True Crime, Tony Hawk," it explained.

"If you're Bobby Kotick with a $13bn market cap, buying Take Two for $1.5-2bn is a no brainer, especially since you have nothing now outside of Call of Duty and Blizzard. With Take-Two Kotick picks up IPs like Grand Theft Auto, Bioshock, Red Dead and the NBA 2K series for tiny fraction of his market cap.


"If I was CEO, I would do it."

Take-Two famously rejected a $26 per share bid from EA back in 2008, but in this new financially less certain world that situation could well of changed – particularly with key shareholders like Carl Icahn believed to be pushing for a buyout.

First Adopter thinks the company would now accept a lower offer some two years later.

"I think Take-Two management would take a $20-22 bid because they looked like fools for saying no to EA's $25 bid last time," the service added. "It's not often you get another chance.

"Activision said on a conference call they shutting down True Crime because it wouldn't be near the top in the 'open world' genre. Maybe that was a hint."

Furthermore, First Adopter believes that any move for Take-Two from Activision could be the catalyst for a rival bid from EA.

"Kicker is you might get EA to bid too because EA would be worried about stronger resourced sports competitor from an Activision/Take-Two combo."

Stricty on the business side it would make a lot of sense but Take Two was pretty resistant when EA tried to buy them. We'll see I guess.

Unfortunately, it looks like readers will have to wait until OXM issue 72, which will hit stores in April, to find out what it is - as the game's publisher has pushed back its announcement.

Meanwhile, OXM issue 71 will hit stores on March 10.

"It's a real nuisance, not least since we've been trying to cover this game for months, but these things happen," OXM editor Jon Hicks told CVG. "The publisher was very apologetic but apparently the game just won't be ready in time."

The fact that it's a rumored remake and not just a port justifies the term "reborn on 360". But then this is all just speculation, it can just as easily be an upscaled port of The Typing of the Dead pre-packaged with a replica Dreamcast keyboard. Hahaha, as if!

The secret classic game referenced on the latest issue of OXM UK - and set to be "reborn" on Xbox 360 - is NOT Halo: combat Evolved.

Magazine editor Jon Hicks has told CVG that the title is not from the Bungie canon and clarified: "OXM never claimed it was an Xbox exclusive - merely that it was exclusive to the magazine."

He added: "It has been correctly identified in the CVG comments thread, though. I'm impressed - although I still can't reveal which one of the guesses are right."

It has been correctly identified in bellow comments

The reveal has now been pushed back by the game's publisher and "is very unlikely to appear in the magazine for the forseeable future," according to Hicks.

Quote
Starbreeze, maker of The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness - and the developer rumoured to be behind EA's unconfirmed Syndicate revival, has signed a long-term licensing deal to use Gears of War engine Unreal Engine 3.

Swedish developer Starbreeze has entered into a multi-year, studio-wide license agreement to develop projects using Epic Games' engine.

"We evaluated several game engines in the market and came to the conclusion that Unreal Engine 3 is the solution that best fits our needs," CEO Johan Kristiansson said.

"We were particularly impressed by the tool chain, which facilitates rapid iteration and high productivity for our team."

Starbreeze, which is home to around 120 employees, is "currently busy with a major production together with publisher Electronic Arts".

What are the chances EA will make another RTS after the Brutal Legend fiasco?

Isn't it pretty much not just Brütal Legend, but any RTS on a console? Can you name one that's done well?
