‘CALL OF DUTY’ switching to three-year, three-team dev cycle. I say good.
The bad news: it appears that we’re not getting Black Ops 3 this year. The good news: it is because Activision has switched the franchise’s different series over to three-year development cycles.

ABSURD: ‘RESIDENT EVIL’ composer is a fraud. Also may not be deaf as he claimed
Ridiculous news the last couple of days. For starters, the dude who “composed” the score for some prominent Capcom games turns out to have…not composed them. He was lauded at the time for crushing these soundtracks despite having gone deaf. Now the winds of truth have blown in, and it turns out the dude hired a ghostwriter for the scores. Oh, and he may not be deaf.
Amazon has bought a gaming studio. MOAR CONSOLES MOAR?!
It’s been rumored for a while that Amazon was hankerin’ to dip its toes into the console waters. And why wouldn’t it? Every prominent corporation these days seems to want to dominated moar markets always! Or perhaps in an ideal world all markets alwayz! So Amazon buying an gaming studio? Smacks of a logical progression for the CorpoGiant.
Nintendo releasing “free mini-games” on phones. The inevitable approaches?
Nintendo’s releasing free mini-games on phones. Now, now. They’re mini-games, okay? Don’t go thinking they’re demos. Even though they’re short little games that are intended to get you to buy full games. Okay? Totally not demos. That sort of insanity would go against Nintendo’s pretty staunch stance against releasing titles on the mobile tip.
XBOX ONE hitting North American shelves on NOVEMBER 22.
It looks like all my mewling about possibly being stuck in the prestious generation for a week or so won’t come to pass. Microsoft’s XBONE won’t strike shelves preemptively, rather the company has opted to drop their console a week after Sony does theirs.
‘GRAND THEFT AUTO V’ Official Trailer: One more sweet stroke
Here’s the latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto. Apparently it’s the “official one”, which makes the other ones…? I don’t know, man. I’m pretty sure everyone either buying or not buying this game has already made that decision. So this trailer is a quick jimmy-tug for those sweating the release. Take the tug!
XBOX ONE is MAYBE/PROBABLY dropping on November 8.
Now that I’ve made my amends with Microsoft (I love you Herbie), it’s going to be difficult for me to watch the release of the XBONER-1 come and go without a purchase. Especially since I’ll be having to wait a week (A WHOLE FUCKING WEEK) for the PS4 to drop. That’s one goddamn week without my toes in the next-gen pool.
SON OF A BITCH: GAMESTOP MANAGERS getting PS4 & SEVEN GAMES AT LAUNCH.
How quickly can I infiltrate the ranks of GameStop? I must walk among them, showing prowess at peddling bullshit warranties and slamming pre-orders down customers’ throats. For if I can ascend to manager by November 15, I will get myself a free PS4.
‘XCOM: ENEMY UNKNOWN, getting EXPANSION titled ‘ENEMY WITHIN’ this November.
Intergalactic foreign-entity boner arriving in my pants! My tingling tip has just received news that one of my favorite games of the last year is seeing an expansion. Yeah, brah. I’m talking about XCOM. What is one of the few things that could make the title more dope? Fucking mech suits for your squad members.
‘DIABLO III: REAPER OF SOULS’ REVEAL TRAILER
As suspected, Diablo III is getting an expansion. Reaper of Souls. Blizzard has dropped a cinematic trailer for the forthcoming snap-on to the title, and it’s gorgeous. Par for the course. Now here is hoping the expansion’s content is equally as wonderful.
Hit the jump for the trailer and more details.
