Akai Katana Shin demo is out on the JP marketplace.

And it's XBL Gold exclusive for a week, of course. $:-\$

And on a side note, I hope we get a play x play of AKS. I gotta check to see if they did one for DFK BL as well.

I'm glad Valve have distanced themselves from Half-Life. It is their weakest franchise.

Disney Interactive is rumoured to be making weighty job cuts at brighton-based developer Black Rock Studios, and to have pulled the pin on a Split/Second sequel.

“It’s rumoured at Black Rock that there will be voluntary redundancies tomorrow – roughly 40, with the aim of reducing the studio to a single game team,” an anonymous Black Rock staffer reportedly told Eurogamer.

The lay-offs with apparently bring an ongoing streamlining proces to a head.

“The inactive portion of the studio has been expecting redundancies for months, so this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It’s sad that it’s come to this of course, but for many people they’ll be quite happy to take the money and go, as they’ve been sitting around doing nothing for months,” the source said.

The studios is said to be at work on a “promising” title, but despite assigning a “good proportion” of the existing employees to development, Disney apparently aren’t keen to commit a larger team to the “new and risky” endeavour.

Those not involved in the new project have been unable to convince the publisher to back a second new title.

“It seems Disney have been unable to provide us with a project to work on, and our concept pitches clearly haven’t gone down well (despite there being many of them),” the source commented.

“… We had a concept week (everyone in the studio working on small teams) to try to come up with new ideas, but nothing really stuck. We had a freemium week sometime later with similar goals too.”

“Split/Second 2″ seems like an obvious choice, but Disney didn’t agree.

“After Split/Second wrapped, we started work on Split/Second 2 pre-prod which was cancelled last December due to Disney Interactive’s new management and their changing priorities (the push towards freemium etc) – Split/Second 2 didn’t really fit in with that (despite some efforts to shoehorn it in).”

Black Rock is an experienced racing developer, having previously produced Pure and worked on the MotoGP series. Split/Second was itsa most recent release, in November 2010, and garnered near-universal critical approval for its over the top arcade stylings.

It's very unfortunate. I liked Pure and Split Second. But then I also liked Blur and that didn't save Bizzare.

Some new fighting game / Capcom info from Seth Killian in a recent Q&A at Capcom-Unity:

• There will be a deluge of information about Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition in about 4 weeks. Seth said again that fans will be very, very happy.

• Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition is the highest budget digital title Capcom has done to date, i.e. a lot of money is being devoted to add stuff to the game. It has a higher budget than SSF2T HD Remix — even with all of the redrawn sprites in the previous title.

• People who are not excited about Street Fighter X Tekken right now may be surprised in the future. The gang said there's more stuff to announce that may get people really going, Seth added it'll be a hot topic.

• Capcom is aware of the demand for an upgraded version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that changes stuff like X-Factor, the DHC Glitch and other things, but there's nothing they can talk about at this time. They're aware of the demand, and it's nice to hear, but nothing they can say on that front right now.

• For Capcom vs. SNK 2 to come out again, there would have to be a renegotiation with SNK Playmore, as a contract runs for a period of time and is specified for certain platforms. If the title is going to come out again, a new contract will have to be negotiated.

• Street Fighter Alpha 3 is coming to the PSN in the future.

Make sure you play Alpha Protocol as a stealth character, otherwise it's really broken [even more so than otherwise] plus it's just more fun that way.

I mean I'm an achievement whore and I boost cheevs etc. But if a game has a ludicrous achievement I'll just deal with it.

x360a has a ridiculous userbase though, they'll complain about ANYTHING achievement related.

I remember reading a crazy rant there about the Red Dead Liars & Cheats DLC. The DLC had about 15 cheevs totaling 100G (so all the cheevs were worth 5 or 10G each).

One guy was like: 'OMG this is such bullshit, I have to play the game a lot for these cheevs and they arent worth shit-all points. Fuck Rockstar and their "half-assed" DLC!' - bad achievement hunters are the biggest losers
