Gamasutra interview with Chris Taylor and his new Kickstarter project "Wildman" http://projectw.gaspowered.com/ Well, either this succeeds or Gas Powered Games will be out of business. Must feel warm-heartening being situated in Redmond where Microsoft is also placed and not get even some tiny little bit of support from such a software giant. Being egoistic > investing a bit in local scene. Either way, in a couple hours we should find out more. Will probably pledge 'cause Chris is such a funny dude.

Sakamoto says PS4 may be announced this May; E3 in June at the latest Both PS4 and Xbox 720 will be released this year Not exactly new news, but still good to know.

The new DmC: Devil May Cry is getting some pretty good reviews. Never played any of the Capcom made games of the series before, but I really liked Ninja's Enslaved so perhaps there's a little sleeper hit.

Been playing a bit the Warframe beta. This game has been created from ground up with DX11 only. Conclusion: Consoles are definitely holding progress back. DX9 needs to ****ing die now.

Never could get into The Witcher 2, but this looks like some serious Day 1 purchase material. That is if the game itself can isn't full of suck. But at least the trailer projects hope.

Bulletporn (aka Cyberpunk 2077) teaser trailer released:

The US governement should secretly produce Twinkies again and offer them freely in exchange for gun owners handing in their arms voluntarely. Win is guaranteed!

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-10-dyson-creator-worried-games-development-sucking-up-too-many-graduates Yeah, no ****. Moar Gaeming. And I don't like the trend where the business of making games becomes too heavily emphasized on hardware itself (more systems, motion control, other nonsense) instead of making money off the premise of creating just great games, even if it means dealing with (hardware) restrictions. Is over-emphasizing technology just a substitute for lack of talent? Not that I'm attacking actual hardware designers and engineers themselves, but I get the feeling the game industry is getting hammered and hi-jacked from all different sides while the actual craft of making games is pushed into the background. Star Wars Kinect is quite indicative of this trend. Who needs a good game if you can play it on Kinect?

More overpriced fashion junk announced: Razer's Edge PC tablet

All of those toys being announced lately (excluding Valve's internal Steam Box, which we still don't know much of) won't have a chance to even beat a little tiny tent into the Xbox /Playstation marketshare. Trust me, when the Xbox 720 and PS4 are gonna be announced big time, people already forgot about these silly Android toys. And that totally stupid useless Xi3 cube. Sorry.

And now something funny: Half Life 1997 Alpha version leaked. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-09-play-the-half-life-1997-alpha-preview-build-its-funny

Exclusive interview with Alphabeard Gabe Newell about the Steam Box and the future of Steam Lord Gaben. Leader of the PC Master Race.

This whole new craze about being entertained 24/7 anywhere and at anytime is totally going out of control. This is the key to understand the American psyche.

There's too much hardware junk announced this year. Most of it won't survive anyway.

Xi3 3A and 7A prices announced.

Valve showing SteamBox tonight at the CES 2013 Edit: Screw that. Not 100% sure this is actually the SteamBox.

One of my favorite Turn-Based Adventure/Tactics mix. Great atmosphere, good story, very satisfying combat, cool companions. Go get it on GoG.

Nvidia Shield - Gaming handheld/Streaming device announced on the CES 2013 More toys that nobody needs.

Gorky 21? YEEEEESSSS!!!

Call me old fashioned, but why not just trying to create a kick-ass game that everyone wants to play and make money based on that premise? DRM is just apologetic nonsense for the weak. \semi-joke

Dredd was never big in the States to begin with. I would still love to see a sequel get made nonetheless.

Follow up: Gamestop investors are panicking like little chickens now due to DRM rumor Yo Pachter, thanks for telling us the obvious. This statement alone should warrant at least a $0,567 million in bonus payments. "Good job Mike!"

Sony actually getting serious about blocking used games for the PS4?

Completely unnecessary.

Fiscal Cliff diverted! Everybody celebrating! Congress did a great job again! Yeah? Next: Raising Debt ceiling theatre coming this February near your favorite channel. "Crap I'm gonna miss prime time for Halo: Cortana's sorrows on Hulu!"
