Opmerkelijk, vooral omdat NB volgens mij echt totaal geen succes was (Heb hem volgens mij ook maar een keer in de winkel zien liggen, voor de rest nergens beschikbaar ). Zodra ik hem cheap vind haal ik hem wel.

Darksiders 2 will star new character, take place alongside events of first game

During his keynote speech at the IGDA Leadership Forum, THQ wunderkind Danny Bilson revealed some info on Darksiders 2, the sequel to Joe Mad's inspired take on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Instead of taking up the mantle of War again, the sequel will offer a new playable character -- one of the other three horsemen of the apocalypse, perhaps?

"When we do the Darksiders sequel, it'll be a different character and take place simultaneously to the other story," Bilson said. "There's only one apocalypse -- I couldn't very well have four different apocalypses, one for each rider. It has some new mechanics and some very robust features that differentiate it a lot and grow it from the first game because you have to build on the first one, you can't repeat it. I think that's very important in franchise-building."

It tied into the rest of the keynote, which revolved around Bilson and THQ's take on sequels and how to approach them when trying to create franchises. Look for our full write-up of Bilson's candid keynote speech soon.

EA registers SSX domains

EA has sparked speculation that it is working on a new game in the SSX series after it registered a number of domains relating to the arcade snowboarding franchise.

EA has registered five new SSX-related domain names (all spotted by superannuation), which suggest a game called SSX: Deadly Descent exists somewhere deep within the confines of the mega publisher.

One domain registered is for somethign called SSX First Descent – could that be a handheld and/or Wii version?

The last game in the series, SSX Blur, disappointed. Tom awarded it 6/10 for Eurogamer.

We'll have a chinwag with EA and see what's what.

Nieuwe SSX zou geweldig nieuws zijn , als die niet voor de Wii is of die Move/Kinect crap gaat ondersteunen. Al zou ik wel eens graag iemand zo'n übertrick voor z'n Kinect zien proberen .

Rumor: Sources claim Sledgehammer’s COD will contain Marines in space

Call of Duty: Black Ops isn’t even cold on the shelves in the US and UK yet and there’s already talk about Sledgehammer’s setting for the next iteration in the series, and it’s being suggested it may contain space marines.

Last week during a financial call to investors, Activision’s publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg mentioned a new Call of Duty title hitting around the back-half of 2011. Without naming Sledgehammer as the developer of the project, nor indicating what the game will entail, he did promise the game would not deviate from the first-person shooter genre.

Despite the lack of information on the title, some industry sources are telling Gamasutra the game will be set in the future and star Marines in space.

Activision’s COO Thomas Tippl has said in the past the title “will broaden the audience”, and has been called “quite unique” by Sledgehammer boss Glen Schofield. The developers even held two different recruitment rounds to beef up staff for the title, and COD is not the only game the developer is working on for Activision either, as a press release from March stated there was an action-adventure title in the works as well.

To further emphasize the importance of the Call of Duty franchise to Activision, Tippl stated during the call to investors last week the franchise has “more development resources dedicated” to it than ever before as Activision is of the belief there’s a “tremendous amount of appetite for Call of Duty content as well as services” and growth opportunity for the franchise has “never been stronger than what it is today”.

Whether the next iteration in the COD series contains Space Marines or not, is anyone’s guess at this point. Likely, we’ll hear more information on the title starting early next year since it’s expected by Holiday 2011.

Until then, folks should just enjoy running around and shooting communists in Black Ops for the time being.

Call of Duty in Space... Hoe onorigineel space marines misschien ook zijn, ik ben er toch wel benieuwd naar...

Toch weer iets heel nieuws voor de CoD serie.

Al hebben we natuurlijk al space marines.... (Warhammer 40k: Space Marines)

Viacom’s just confirmed it’s to sell Rock Band studio Harmonix, the AP reports.

There’s very little detail on the move, other than the sale has helped Viacom to beat analysts’ expectations in the quarter ending September 30.

There’s no detail in that Bloomberg report as to who’s bought the studio.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Harmonix has “dragged on the company’s results for the past several quarters as shoppers continue to avoid big discretionary buys,” blaming the high price of the Rock Band games and their “pricey accessories”.

Rock Band 3, the latest Harmonix release, has failed to attract significant sales in the UK, selling only 7,000 in its opening week.

Harmonix boss Alex Rigopulos said earlier this month that more focus had been put on European content for the game in an effort to match American success.

Geen Rock Band meer...

Zolang Harmonix maar niet dood gaat, ze maken erg goede games. Al sinds Frequency en Amplitude. (hopelijk maken ze nog een keer zo een game)

Psychonauts 2: Tim Schafer is 'ready to do it'

From our "It's Fun to Dream" file comes a story from the latest issue of PSM3, in which Double Fine's Tim Schafer says he's ready to do a sequel to his classic action platformer Psychonauts. So ... Psychonauts 2: Revenge of the Milkman coming fall of 2012, pre-order now to get your commemorative goggles. Right?

Not so fast, bucko. Schafer wants to make a new Psychonauts, but he still needs to find someone to help foot the bill. "It's really a question of getting a publisher who's interested in doing it," he told the magazine. "Over the years it's gotten into the hands of a lot of people ... so if all these people were going to buy the sequel it would be a big hit."

So, any of you have a few spare millions kicking around? Maybe if everybody pooled together? Let's see, we have ... $7.12, a piece of Bazooka and a marble. That's ... that's not going to cut it, is it?

Hasbro confirmed during its investor conference earlier this week a sequel to Transformers: War for Cybertron is currently in development and is set for release sometime in 2012.

Mark Blecher, SVP and General Manager of Digital Media & Gaming, said he was pleased with the response of the first title released earlier this year.

"This is the most highly-rated, critical success of any game that's had the Hasbro brand yet and we're looking forward to a sequel in 2012," Blecher stated.

It's expected San Diego-based High Moon Studios, the developer of the first game, is behind the sequel, though that information has not been confirmed.

Blecher also said the Transformers: Dark of the Moon video game will be released in 2011 to coincide with the launch of the movie. Additionally, the Transformers MMO, in development by NetDragon, is planned for launch in the West but no specific territories were mentioned.

Ubi first-half ‘10-’11 financials: Driver: San Fran, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier delayed into FY2012

Ubisoft’s just announced that Driver: San Francisco and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, previously due in Q4 2011, has been delayed into FY2012. The news came as part of Ubisoft’s first-half fiscal release, which showed figures for the six months ending September 30.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was announced back in February for PS3, 360 and PC, but was confirmed to be a 2011 title in May. Driver: San Francisco, meanwhile, was announced in June following confirmation of a game being in development at Ubisoft Reflections in Newcastle, UK.

Read up our preview and interview with Reflections’ Martin Edmondson here and here. Driver: San Fran was due to be released this holiday season, but was delayed into next year in July; it was still within Ubi’s fiscal year until today. Ubisoft said that H.A.W.X. 2 and Eugen RTS R.U.S.E. performed “under expectations”.

Diablo III voor de consoles?

"Could the Diablo series make a return to consoles? A handful of new jobs seeking fresh Blizzard talent with console experience sure makes it look that way.

The studio that normally sticks to PC and Mac may be making a console version of Diablo III, according to new job listings spotted by Gamasutra. Blizzard is seeking a Senior Producer, Lead Designer and Lead Programmer for a console version of its popular hack and slash RPG series, openings described as "particularly critical position." Each is listed under the Diablo III section of the job openings page.

"Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an experienced engineer to lead console development on the Diablo team," reads one listing. "The ideal candidate has both strong leadership skills and an impressive technical console background."

Blizzard has primarily stuck to PC based development for its recent projects, but has had some console experience, including StarCraft 64, Blackthorne and The Lost Vikings. The original Diablo was released for the PlayStation in 1998.

Could Diablo III come to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360? We're checking in with Blizzard to find out...

Update: Blizzard has responded with the following statement, posted at the official Diablo community site.

We're exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we've said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we're interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you're passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.

Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don't intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.
