Bioware’s Dragon Age Delayed ~6 months
Posted by inpheaux on February 3rd, 2009 at 11:55 pmBioware's modern yet still somehow Infinity Engine-esque game Dragon Age will apparently not be meeting its March release date. In an announcement made about an hour ago, Bioware's community coordinator had this to say:
We wanted to give the community a heads-up on a recent decision to move the launch of Dragon Age: Origins for the [...]

E3 2008 – Sony Press Conference

PS3
Resistance 2 - Sony's big focus this time around. Unfortunately, to me, it just looks like more of the same stuff. It's a shooter. There are aliens. Big aliens. Who cares?
Little [...]

Blizzard announces Titan Quest 2 Diablo III
Posted by inpheaux on June 28th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Welp, it looks like the one time I decide to sleep through a Blizzard announcement (I was dead-set convinced all the people saying "NO GUYS LOOK, THE EYES IN THE ICE IMAGE TOTALLY LINE UP WITH THIS DIABLO III BOX ART I MADE" were complete crackpots, and was sure that all the ice was going [...]

Posted by inpheaux on January 24th, 2008 at 1:55 pmTake 2 issued a pretty short press release today announcing that the super mega anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV will debut on the 360 and PS3 on April 29th. Yes, that's three months from now.

So . . . it looks like we're down to three omni-platform super-developer/publishers now. In one corner we have EA, the only company allowed to make sports games, and who will be making sports games with tiny [...]
BAD END: Bioware & Pandemic gobbled-up by EA
Posted by inpheaux on October 11th, 2007 at 7:14 pmAll bad news, all the time.
Out of nowhere, EA has decided that it would be super neat if they went ahead and bought-out Bioware and Pandemic, to build upon their game-development Empire of Doom. If they were another less-established pair of independent developers, sure, this would be pretty decent news, since it would mean stable [...]
