| Watch Nathan Drake save the day |
So,
you want to enjoy the adventures of Nathan Drake but you don't have a
PS3? Or, perhaps, you haven't gotten around to it yet. Well, a
Reddit user by the handle of morphinapg has a solution. They have
cut together all the cutscenes, along with some gameplay, to create
an Uncharted movie
trilogy. While some of the gameplay cuts are a bit weird, it's still
pretty cool. So, if you have the inclination to watch the game as a
movie, go right ahead. Each one is about a normal 2 hour movie, but
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
clocks in at over 3 hours. Just in case, each of these movies SPOIL THE
WHOLE GAME, so watch at your own risk. Also, pass the popcorn! (via

| The brain drain to mobile developers is worrysome |
Cue
the “JRPGs are dead!” cries. Square Enix has lost a few
directors in the last few months. While they were not the
names/faces fans associate with Square games, they were part of the
next generation and were heads of their departments. Ryuji Ikeda
worked on Dissidia:
Final Fantasy as
the lead programmer; Shouta Shimoda was planning director of Dissidia
012;
and the biggest loss was Takeshi Arakawa who was in textures for
Kingdom Hearts,
supervisor on Dissidia,
and graphical director on the currently unreleased Final
Fantasy Versus XII.
All three have taken new jobs at studios that focus on mobile games.
Brain drains like this are difficult for studios to overcome, so
here's hoping Square Enix has some others in the pipeline. (via

| Restructuring at the multitude of EA studios continues |
Mega=publisher
Electronic Arts continues to “restructure” and trim staff levels.
The move was hinted at last week, but so far it hasn't been the
large scale layoffs that were rumored. The big cuts recently have
been at EA Montreal where up to 50 staffers may be let go. An EA
statement said that many would be moved to other projects, but a
small number would be “let go.” Best of luck to those now out of
the workforce. (via Destructoid)

| Next year will be better! Right? |
Sluggish
sales on hardware, the awful debut of the 3DS, and the price cut on
the 3DS were major contributors to Nintendo posting it's first annual
loss as a public company. A strong Yen versus the dollar hasn't
helped. Last year, Nintendo posted operating losses at $455.9
million. They are hopeful for a turnaround on the 3DS, which is
currently sold under cost, and a strong launch for the Wii U.
Nintendo hopes that this year will see nearly all the losses this
year turned to profits. Good luck with that, Nintendo. Sincerely,
good luck. (via Kotaku)

| Over a year to find the breach? Awww yeah! |
MMO
studio Cryptic, known for Perfect
World
and Star Trek
Online,
just found out that someone hacked user information. The breach
occurred in December 2010, yet the company just found out about it
this week. The suspected victims were notified by Cryptic and they
offered assurances that only the handle, user name and password were
cracked. Right, so with those the hacker could have accessed the
account information which had billing addresses, birthdays, and
partial credit card numbers. Cryptic is assuring customers that no
personal information was stolen to their knowledge, but if they
missed the initial intrusion, how many others could have happened?
*Sigh Time to change passwords on that account again. (via Kotaku)
