BANISHED DEVELOPER PLEASED WITH NINTENDO’S INDIE IMPROVEMENTS; MAY BRING BANISHED TO WII U: he city-building strategy game Banished has been doing very well on both the PC and Mac. With a strong emphasis being placed on the townsfolk’s life cycle, Banished offers a unique twist on the standard city-building games. Developer Shining Rock Software had some interesting things to share with us, including touching on the possibility of the game coming to the Wii U. “I’m glad Nintendo has lowered the requirements for getting indie developers onto the system. Back when I started in the games industry, gamecube kits were expensive and well guarded. (They also looked like a giant eight-track player)” “Right now my focus is on Mac and Linux, plus adding new features to the PC version. but in the future, once those are done, it (Wii U version) might be in the plans” Banished could be a great addition to the Wii U library, especially if the GamePad is utilized like a mouse/keyboard set up. We will keep you up to date on any more developments from Shining Rock Software.

Sony want Nintendo to get Sony game Franchises item in Nintendo game in future just like Sony had Nintendo game Franchises item in InFamous: Second Son: Sony announced today, Sony planning to bring one item from their game onto Nintendo game one day future after secrets opened for InFamous: Second Son got Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda series The Legend of Zeldas Master Sword Appears to be in PS4-Exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son: Nintendo and Sony being agreements before InFamous: Second Son released and allow to put Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda on table in-game. Second Son developers Sucker Punch Productions, well known for placing various references throughout its games, seems to be doing its bit to bring ever-lasting unity, brotherhood and friendship between console manufacturers. Well, perhaps not, but it _has_included an item that strongly resembles the Master Sword, albeit with a subtle design tweak to avoid direct comparison — the end of the blade is split. In any case, if you are playing this game its visible in Eugenes home, a character you meet not too far into the game. If youre not in the PS4 / inFAMOUS club, theres always the option to debate the merits of the design. Its not as good as the originals, obviously.

EA is not an evil empire, says Peter Molyneux: Peter Molyneux has provided an explanation for why he thinks Bullfrog Productions was ended under the acquisition of EA. Rather than blaming the publisher for the Dungeon Keeper studios demise, the BAFTA Fellowship winner suggested that well-paid executives were primarily at fault. EA is not an evil empire, he told Kotaku. Theyre a company that have done a great deal for this industry. [But] when corporates buy companies, several things change. Youve got this problem where the founders of the company get a lot of money - that changes those people. That changes the company there. He continued: Youve got the problem of what I call love abuse. When EA bought Bullfrog, they just wanted to make it nicer. They moved us to a nice office, where we couldnt shoot each other [with BB guns] in the corridors. We had an HR department because that was a nice proper professional thing to do. And that changes the flavour of the company. EA was given the title Worst Company in America in 2012, 2013 and 2014 by The Consumerist. Microsofts Phil Spencer promises game focused E3 presentation: Microsoft vice president Phil Spencer has promised a game focused E3 presentation. The executive said the firms Xbox press conference is already running over schedule because of the amount of gameplay footage they are planning to show. I think youll see very few execs, he wrote on Twitter. We are already over our 90 minute time limit and having to move stuff out of show. Microsoft was on hand at this weeks GDC event in San Francisco to showcase its DirectX 12 software, which works across supported tablets, computers and games consoles. Meanwhile, Spencer recently confirmed that Microsoft has been experimenting with virtual reality hardware for quite a while. This years E3 gaming expo takes places in Los Angeles between June 10 and 12. Original Hotline Miami confirmed for PS4: Hotline Miami, the original 2D top-down neon-tinged action game, will be getting a release on PlayStation 4 ahead of its sequel, Devolver Digitals Nigel Lowrie has confirmed. Speaking to Destructoid during its GDC coverage, the publisher confirmed the originals’ release in line with the fact that its sequel will be turning out on Sony’s newest system later in the year. Gamers needn’t worry, though, as the game will feature the cross-buy mechanic, whereby original owners of the game can upgrade to the PS4 version when the game drops in the near future. The 2D retro action game was available free of charge on PS3 via the PlayStation Plus service back in October, so it seems plausible that the imminent PS4 release will follow the same route. This is pure speculation at this point, mind, as we’re expecting full confirmation of its release information in the coming days.

Marc Whitten talked about the online future of games before leaving his job at Microsoft: Former chief product officer and corporate vice president for the Xbox team Marc Whitten thinks that more games will be connected like Titanfall in the future, but not at the expense of offline. Whitten stopped by the Major Nelson Radio podcast during one of his last days with the company and talked about the past and future of Xbox, especially the evolution of its online features. “We’re clearly in the place where not only is every console and every device is going to have a service, but every game is going to be a service,” he said. “This is the way that we’ll have entertainment experiences and they’ll be connected together.” Whitten said that we’re starting to see where things are headed with games like Titanfall, which uses Microsoft’s cloud computing. “Everybody obviously sees the Titanfall stuff with the cloud. It’s easy to get into a match, low latency, all those sorts of things. But then there’s this other thing where I’m relying on the cloud so I can offload more stuff. Now we have AI coming from the cloud as well. And as that becomes more and more of the tool set I think you’re going to see this deep and rich growth of new entertainment experiences.” However, Whitten was quick to say that this future does not necessarily mean Xbox will have the kind of online requirements that stirred so much controversy leading up to the Xbox One launch. “No, I don’t mean at the expense of offline and all that kind of stuff,” he said. “I just think that having more tools for creators, to be able to use more crayons to draw the pictures, that’s all just great for us.” Whitten announced earlier this week that he was leaving his job at Microsoft to join Sonos as its chief product officer. Beenox explains a bit more about why The Amazing Spider-Man 2 not coming to PS Vita: PS Vita is one system left out for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, again they told they havent time or High Voltage or Gameloft either doesnt have time. There are no plans for a PS Vita version at this time, “But as you may remember, we didn’t plan to release a Vita version of the first game either.” The reason it isn’t coming to Vita is because “We have to support other platforms (including new platforms) and don’t have the time or resources to do it properly.” Also The Amazing Spider-Man on PS Vita sold badly. It is another reasons. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 coming to XB1, Wii U, PS4, 3DS, PC, mobiles, Xbox 360 and PS3 on 2nd May 2014 for UK and Europe and 29th April 2014 for US.

Previously, Beenox created Spider-Man: Edge of Time and the first Amazing Spider-Man for Nintendo’s portable. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be the first 3DS title not developed by Beenox.
