Happy Valentine's Day week! It's that time were there is copious amounts of red splashed everywhere and couples spending time together. I'm of course talking about the release of Twisted Metal. Otherwise, have a look at some interesting news stories from the week!
I
know they have said that this is all “vague” and early planning,
but I cannot help but get excited. Pyschonauts
is well worth playing now (it's on the Xbox Classics lineup and
Steam). I hope this does happen because that would be amazing! (via
Game Informer)
Let's see them again, please?
The
people who saw games being released only partially finished content that's
only filled out by paid DLC were right!!!! Gotham
City Imposters
(or Team Fortress
2: Batman Edition)
is a class-based team shooter available now on PC, PSN and XBLA. The
game itself is $15, but there is a metric crap-ton of DLC. In all,
if you wanted everything, it would set you back $220 (on top of the
game's cost)! Gasp! The game has so much DLC that it's more
expensive than the Skyrim
Collectors
Edition! Everyone who ever said that “Companies will charge us to
finish games!!!” was right! We're
doooooooommmmmmeeeeeeeedddddddd!!!! ...oh, wait, it's only cosmetic
stuff. Never mind. Keep calm and carry on. (via Game Informer)
Tons of DLC right of the ... bat?
David
Jaffe, the man behind Kratos and Sweet Tooth, is leaving his studio
to start another. It's not a big deal in the long run, but Eat Sleep Play hasn't released their only title, Twisted
Metal,
yet. He lives in San Diego, the team at Eat Sleep Play is in Salt
Lake City. Jaffe wants to have the day-to-day interaction with a
team, and he can't do that easily. Fair enough. Jaffe has said
he'll stay on long enough to balance/patch Twisted
Metal,
which is good.
I'm
excited to see what crazy stuff he comes up with next! (via Game Informer)

The
fans have spoken! Double Fine, makers of such awesome games like
Stacking
and Psychonauts,
asked fans to help fund a new adventure game (for which founder Tim
Schafer was famous for making). The fans resoundingly responded and
the Kickstarter fund met it's goal within 8 hours. Now they've exceeded $1 million and still have over a month to go!
Anything extra will go toward making the game and a documentary
about it. Well then, color me impressed. And interested. If you're
keen to, you can donate here. Here's hoping that other projects get funding this way and happen. (via Game Informer)
This is happening!
1Up
talked with the head of SonyWorldwide, Shuhei Yoshida, at the DICE
conference and asked about Fumito Ueda and Team Ico's The
Last Guardian.
It's good to know that it's still coming, but “slow progress”
and “...rebuilding and iterating...” are worrisome terms. I am
hopeful for this game (and I am a huge fan of the others: Ico
and Shadow of the
Colossus),
but it's been in development hell for a while. Yoshida also talked to Game Informer about the game and others. (via 1Up and Game Informer)
Sony thought this was "crap." Whoops.
I
know that the Gamer's Edition of the Guinness Book of World Records
has some stupid categories, but Best Ending is a pretty solid one.
Do you go with the poignant like Red
Dead Redemption or
Final Fantasy VII?
The silly Portal
or
Disgaea?
The solemn Metal
Gear Solid 4?
Or the generic, forgettable and overall pointless Black
Ops?
And the fans have spoken. ...sigh. (via Destructoid)
This was the ending of CoD: BlOps, right?
Just Some
Commander Shepard Songs to End the Week Right
"Commander Shepard is Still Alive"
"The Commander Shepard Song" by Miracle of Sound
Oh, and an amazing Fem-Shep trailer. I'm so excited for this game!
Reinstated indeed!
