Square Enix Mystery Title Revealed
Jul 01, 2009 - 3:07 PM - by ~A~
Square Enix's site HERE has been teasing people by adding objects into this image displayed to eventually reveal a new game. Well they managed to get to 2 characters (of 4) on the dragon before it was revealed by Japanese magazine Weekly Jump. The game is titled Hikari no Yon Senshi, or in English Four Warriors Of Light: Final Fantasy -side story-. It is unknown at this point if it links to another previous game or not (Jump refers to it as a new game). The game will be released for the DS in Japan this Fall, no word on international release dates yet. Apparantly the story involves a boy trying to save a princess (descriptive I know). It appears to be in the style of a more traditional RPG rather then previous DS hack n slash titles. You can also see what seems to be customizable equipment that changes physical appearances.

Sony May Bring Back PS3 Backwards Compatibility
Jun 30, 2009 - 5:11 PM - by -Serialchilla-
After dumping the Emotion Engine chipset to reduce production costs, Sony may be bringing it back soon. The chipset allowed owners of earlier PS3 models to play any game opriginally intended for the PS2. The chip was phased out early last year, beginning with the 80 GB models.

The news comes on the heels of a patent filing by the company which suggests a return. However, this will not be a hardware-based feature any longer. Siliconera says the patent was for a cell-based EE emulator, which would process the PS2's code through the PS3 hardware. The good news for non-compatible PS3 owners is that backwards compatibility can be obtained through a simple firmware update.

The patent filing doesn't give a date for implementation or even state the purpose of such an update, although one could easily see that it's headed in that direction. Sony is a business, after all, and having people buying up the older used models from places like E-bay aren't helping to line their pockets. What better way to potentially win those customers than to deliver what they're demanding? It sure doesn't hurt that emulation is much cheaper to implement than hardware as well. Given that it's such a big win/win for Sony, a revision shouldn't be too far in the future.

World of Warcraft ~ Faction Transfers Coming Soon
Jun 30, 2009 - 2:33 PM - by Subject2Change
Blizzard has issued some early word on an upcoming customer service.

Blizzard is developing a service similar to their realm transfers and character re-customization services will allow players to flip their Alliance characters over to Horde, or vice versa.

The news comes from a post from the Blizzard boards.

It's primarily going to allow players who leveled up characters on the opposite side as their friends to swap over and join up. But there aren't really any more details about it. We'll have to wait and see what sort of restrictions, fees, etc come into play when swapping factions.

Fable III Possibly Revealed.. By Accident?
Jun 29, 2009 - 11:05 PM - by ~A~
The following taken from an IGN article by Jim Reilly found HERE

Quote:
June 29, 2009 - Yes, it seems news can find its way into every section of a newspaper.

As spotted by Kotaku, last week's newlyweds listing in the New York Times not only details the ceremonious occasion between Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Atkins, but it also confirms Fable III's development.

"Mr. Atkins, 34, is the lead game designer for Fable III, a video game series produced by Lionhead Studios in Guildford, England"

Oops?

Here's what we know: Joshua Atkins does indeed work at Lionhead Studios as per his Linkedin account. It's not clear if this was merely a typo on someone's part or just an honest mistake.



Note to developers: Don't list the games you're development in your wedding announcement no matter how sweet and hilariously fitting it may seem.

This is the response we got from Microsoft on the story:

"We have nothing to announce or comment regarding future Lionhead Studios projects."

We also sent the NY Times a note about a possible typo on their part and we'll update you when we hear back.
If actually not a typo then this is one funny and enormous blunder.
