Cliff Bleszinski: "F*%#ing Hates" The PS3 Controller

September 30th 2008 23:43
Cliff Bleszinski


It doesn't sound like Gears Of War will be heading PS3-side anytime soon.
In his usual joy for the headline, the game development artist formerly known as Cliffy B has expressed his views on the PS3 controllers, and well, he doesn't like it.

Speaking in London, Cliff Bleszinski said “I hate the f***ing controller. I’m sorry, I can’t stand the PS3 controller. I love the Blu-ray player. “ Well, there's something for ya.


He did like some of the games on the platform though. "I think there are some great games for PS3. I think Metal Gear’s great. Heavenly Sword was great. But at the same time, right now, I’m always working on Xbox with Gears." he stated while polishing his prop chainsaw gun.

Nintendo To Announce Game "Everyone Is Waiting For"

September 30th 2008 23:27
nintendo mystery


There are a lot of games we are currently waiting for, so for Nintendo to come out and say that they are preparing to unveil a game that "everyone is waiting for" might seem like a stretch, particularly since no one seems to have any idea as to what that game might be.

According the the story from Gamekyo, the game will come from a franchise buried in the Nintendo vault. We shall have to wait unti the press conference later this week to see how Nintendo can wow us. With the quality of the christmas season releases, it's gunna have to be a big one.

Microsoft: 360 Outselling PS3 Two To One

September 30th 2008 23:15
xbox 360 sales


Marketing and sales information company no. 573556, Chart Track, have released figures showing that Microsoft have shot ahead in sales across Europe. Up 214 per cent in the past two weeks, the recent price cuts have catapulted the 360 well into the lead.

"This data shows that the Xbox 360 trajectory continues upwards, and not just in the UK," said Chris Lewis, VP of Xbox in Europe.

"We've seen uplift in all countries in Europe and are confident that even at this rate of growth we can keep retail satisfied with a steady supply of consoles throughout the Christmas season."

Chart Track do not actually supply sales figures, which means perhaps we should take the information with a grain of salt (or Saccharin if you are watching your weight).

But following it is the news that there will be plenty of DLC to fill the void - all of which, if the current titles are anything to go by, will be thrown away when COD 6 finally lands

This is the now infamous version of Fallout 3 that has to be created to cater for the Australian Classifications Boards willingness to ignore the fact that discerning adults play video games

Now in a new report by VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi (author of the tell all books "Opening the Xbox" and "The Xbox 360 Uncloaked"), Takahashi claims that Microsoft knew of the problem and proceeded to mass produce and launch the console, red rings and all. He goes on the claim that the issue has forced the price to stay higher than Microsoft had planned

Spore Matches The Sims Launch Success - Almost

The reception that Spore has received has been a strange one. Most people are declaring that the game has not quite hit the mark, falling short of the all encompassing God machine that the frenzied fans envisaged through the pre-game build-up. Yet at the same time, the Metacritic score has managed to hit 88%. The general consensus seems to be that the sheer scope of the game is more extraordinary than anything that has been attempted, and that the mini games are amazingly addictive, yet the reviewers were left feeling slightly empty. Perhaps they started that way, being professional critics and all, but the reviews and scores need to be put into perspective. That perspective is easy to find
