Cliff Bleszinski talks State of the Industry

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Jason Bassett

According to Cliff Bleszinski, it seems as though the time is not right to be a console developer. That’s what Bleszinki recently said during an interview with GameIndustry.biz. In his interview Bleszinski states that:

“This business has not been in a state of transition like it is right now since the video game crash of the ’80s”. He goes on to say: “”I really think we’re in a massive state of turmoil. I think Nintendo could possibly be faced with the situation of becoming a company that only makes software moving forward. I think Sony and Microsoft are about to come to major blows. But at the same time, people love playing games on their iPad. The PC is going through a wonderful renaissance right now. I think we’re ready to do digital download games all the time…I just want to see what happens. In regards to the industry, it’s like the Super Smash Bros. of business right now, and I want to see if Peach or Mario wins.”Read More

BioShock Vita Hasn’t Entered Active Development

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Remember the PlayStation Vita version of Bioshock? Well it won’t be happening until funding has been secured, according to series creative force Kevin Levine.

Originally reported by IGN, in a series of short rapid fire questions centered around various topics, Levine stated that the project is currently on hold. He also elaborated on why the PlayStation Move matters and gave his opinion on the recently revealed PlayStation 4.

Murmurs of Bioshock Vita began to circle at E3 2011 after the reveal of Sony’s latest handheld. Now that we know the game hasn’t even entered production perhaps it will face the same fate as the PSP iteration of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion, desired by fans but never fully realized.

We’ve got the quote from the IGN article after the jump!Read More

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance | Review

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Jason Bassett

Version tested: Xbox 360

Fast is a good adjective to describe Raiden. Lightning-quick is another good one. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a very fast and highly violent video game–very violent. It’s possible that one could become nauseous at the violence in this game. That’s on the surface of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Deep within the core of Rising lies a very awesome and very challenging video game that will give you a deeper understanding of how Platinum Games and Kojima Productions have taken a project that was once almost dead and buried and turned it into one of the must have titles this year.Read More
