Australia’s Atkinson thinks gamers are scarier than biker gangs
by OrelryTed on Feb.15, 2010, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games
Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson , also known as “that one guy responsible for preventing an R18+ rating from being adopted in the country,” recently had some (unsurprisingly) inflammatory things to say about gaming enthusiasts during an interview with Good Game . “About two o’ clock in the morning I got a threatening note from a gamer shoved under my door,” Atkinson claimed. “I feel that my family and I are more at risk from gamers than we are from the outlaw motorcycle gangs who also hate me … the outlaw motorcycle gangs haven’t been hanging around my doorstep at 2 a.m.. A gamer has.” Well, yeah.

Yoshinori Kitase: Cut Final Fantasy XIII content will not return as DLC

That “entire game’s worth” of content that was reported to have been cut from Final Fantasy XIII ? Well, don’t expect it to return in the form of DLC for the game. Speaking with Joystiq, FFXIII producer Yoshihiro Kitase said of the trimmed elements, “There wasn’t all this other stuff that we wanted to include but had to cut. It was more of a selective process you’d find in any development process, where there were a lot of ideas but then we chose the best of those to include in the final game. The things that were cut either didn’t make sense in the storyline, would slow down the pace of the game or were otherwise unnecessary.” Kitase wanted to stress his “final word” on topic, telling us, “There is no plan for these things that were cut — because they weren’t essential to the game — to be revived as downloadable content,” laughing as he remarked that he wouldn’t want to add back in the stuff he didn’t think should be in there in the first place.

Capcom scraping knees with MotoGP 09/10 in March
by alcotamatte on Jun.19, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games
Capcom’s recently acquired motorcycling sim series is set to hit the track again in March 2010 with MotoGP 09/10 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Capcom has put a new team on the franchise in Monumental Games, but before you start running around and slashing tires in disgust, know that some of the members of that studio are actually MotoGP veterans. Put the knife down! The next installment in the series brings all of the bikes, riders, and tracks from the 2009 championship series, including a full-fledged career mode that will give players the control to handle not only the racing, but also managerial tasks. But, even more interesting is Capcom’s promise to “update the game with accurate real-time content from the 2010 championship at no extra cost.” Rounding out the rest of the game will be an Arcade mode, and online racing, supporting leaderboards and a spectator mode.

Gaming accessories headed to iPhone (maybe with buttons!)
by DupeDactuch on Jun.19, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Software, Video Games, iPhone, iPod
Undeniably, Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch have become major players in the mobile gaming market. It seems like every developer under the sun is working on iPhone / iPod game of some kind. There are lots of games out there, and a rising number of them are pretty good, but the iPhone / iPod has thus far been devoid of another major aspect of the game industry: Third-party peripherals.
