Best Buy taps Future US for new game mag: @Gamer

May 11th 2010 10:09PM (Joystiq)
Definitely will never buy.

Game magazines are either moving to the web or going out of business, and Best Buy is just about the worst source for reliable information on anything.

Who thought it was a good idea to combine these two things?

EA expands Salt Lake studio, announces 'groundbreaking' new project

Great. EA lays off interesting studios like Pandemic and builds up other studios developing generic crap. I can't say I'm surprised.

Plenty of people would pay for 360 and PS3 versions in North America and Europe. It may take awhile, but it will probably come over to the US eventually.

Need for Speed series sells 100m copies, earns $2.7b life-to-date

Oct 21st 2009 5:55PM (Joystiq)
It's interesting to note that Need for Speed's review ratings went down almost exactly during the period that Project Gotham was popular.

Now that the Project Gotham series is no more, the NFS series goes up again.

Perhaps this is more than just a coincidence. During the Porsche Unleashed era, NFS focused more on realism than subsequent years. Project Gotham filled the old NFS niche between arcade and realism while NFS went more into the arcade racing style.

Now, NFS is rebooting the series back into its old niche balancing between realism and arcade and taking it back from the dead PGR series.

London Games Conference to examine downloadable transition

I use both consoles and PCs. It is true that it is more difficult to resell PC games, but that is really a recent phenomenon.

The used PC game market declined when games started using DRM activated through online registration. Obviously, you can't resell a game if it only works on one machine!

I still have fond memories of going to the local used bookstore where they had used classic PC games for ridiculously low prices.

In other words, accepting that you can't resell games because "that's just how things are" is simply giving up your rights as a consumer for nothing in return. If no one protests the fact that the industry is moving to a more restrictive format, then we have only ourselves to blame when we find we don't have rights to use our purchases the way we want to.

London Games Conference to examine downloadable transition

Unless they allow me to transfer my software licenses to another person in the form of a sale or a gift, I'm not making this "transition." Digital distribution is dysfunctional unless you give people the same freedom to resell and buy used copies that we have with physical discs.
