Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
The guy up there is IGN´s own Greg Miller, that in his hands is a Lair Review Guide that Sony sent him and many that, like Greg, reviewed Lair. (coincidentally they all gave the dragon flying game a “bad” score)
This move by Sony is not only desperate and completly riduculous, but it is also kind of offensive to the professionals that are being told what to do like the problem is with them and not with Lair.
RedOctane’s President and co-founder Kai Huang said earlier this week, “There won’t be online initially for the Wii, but we are working with Nintendo to see how we can get those features in.”Seemingly with no online play Nintendo gets screwed yet again. Thankfully RedOctane contacted 1up.com and clarified the situation. Apparently there will not be any downloadable songs, at first, but there will be online play starting on the game’s launch.
This is only one example of the many that prove to Nintendo that it needs to create a harddrive for the Wii. 512 megabytes of internal Flash memory isn’t enough to store a good amount of content on.
I WANNA ROCK!
According to Real Time Worlds producer Phil Wilson we won’t be seeing a sequel to the game at all because “Microsoft were a little late in stepping up to the plate to ask for Crackdown 2, and by then we had already started working on bigger, better things.” Oh goodie, set up the ending for a sequel, then shoot down our hopes. What are these bigger and better things you may ask? Well they have two titles in development right now. One is an unknown title tentatively scheduled to be released in 2009. The other is another Doug Jones project called A.P.B., or All Points Bulletin, an MMO were you get to play as either a group of criminals or cops fighting the other group for the PC and 360. It features customizable vehicles and characters, but didn’t Saint’s Row and 25 to life?
While we might not be seeing another Crackdown in the future, we still have Prototype to look forward to later next year.

It appears that Sony is really in quite a ditch. If their lunatic antics aren’t enough for you, here’s some more. Reportedly, a Sony staff member has been caught editing a Wikipedia page. What’s so embarrasing? The page in question is the Halo 3 page.
A sorry staffer at Sony Liverpool is the origin of a hate comment against Microsoft’s great Halo 3. The comment in question says:
Although it wont look any better than Halo 2.
Talk about that. He didn’t even bother punctuating the ‘wont’. Pfft. Don’t look at me like that, I’m not the only one who doesn’t like Sony’s English. Ask Grant Collier, one of the big guys at Infinity Ward, makers of the upcoming Call of Duty 4. In an interview, Grant says:
With Microsoft we’ve got the advantage of them being an American company so our level of accessibility to them is much better than Sony. I’m not disparaging Sony in any way, but it’s just that they [Microsoft] speak English, we speak English. I know ten or fifteen guys over there and I can just call up and find out what new special sauce is coming around… I would really like to have that level of relationship with Sony. We’re really pushing for that and it’s a personal goal of mine to get there but I think there’s very few companies that have that level of relationship with Sony. After we come out with CoD4 I hope that we’ll be one of them.
Poor Sony. I’m actually starting to feel sympathetic for a corporation. I wonder what they’ll do next!
[UPDATE]
Dragon Ball Z has been confirmed. It will star Justin Chatwin and James Marsters. See this post for more details.

If the Gazette hasn’t begun spreading lies, it is probably telling the truth when it says that a live action Dragon Ball Z movie may actually be in the works!
According to the Gazette, 20th Century Fox is working on 3 movies that are expected to be shot in Montreal next year, each having a budget of atleast $100 Million! From the source:
The films are the Night at the Museum sequel Another Night, Independence Day director Roland Emmerich’s remake of the sci-fi flick Fantastic Voyage and a big-screen adaptation of the Japanese manga Dragonball Z.
Are we hearing this right? Dragon Ball Z is an immensely successful franchise spanning mangas, animes, several video games and who knows what else (wikipedia it, dummy).
We know nothing more than this, except that production should end by next July.If this turns out to be ‘fer real!’, we might just be in for a nonsensical, but fast-paced, action-filled live action flick! Just the sort I like!

Ubisoft has moved up on my Nice Corporations Chart by a few spots, because of their generous Santa Clause act. Ubisoft has just released four of their games, Far Cry, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Ghost Recon! Note that these games are ad-supported, though. But I wouldn’t mind seeing some ads when I’m getting Far Cry for freaking free! Download the games without that feeling of guilt from Fileshack:
Finally, somebody who listens to us poor gamers without the systems to run Crysis or BioShock. 🙂
