Report: Ubisoft Working On Xbox 720 Projects For 2012, Major Sony Dev Moving To PS4.
The current generation of consoles is drudging on, and there are more and more signifiers than they are soon to be surpassed. But no!, no screams my wallet. But yes!, yes! screams the graphics whore in me.
Miyamoto Interested In 3D Remakes of 2D Zelda Titles. C’mon Now Bro!
Miyamoto isn’t resigned to watching Nintendo’s shitty Nintendo 3D-3DSiL choke on its own 3d excessiveness. Nah! Naw son! He’s going to save it. By bringing to life 3D remakes. Of 2D Zelda games. Wut.
Dude Huge: “Code Magic” Can Squeeze More Power Out Of 360.
Cliffy B and the Wunder Heads behind Gears of War 3 offered up a gorgeous HGH-fueled engine that somehow still surprised even this late into the 360’s life cycle. Dude Huger has proclaimed that even more can be gotten getted good.

Obsidian Entertainment Developing Game For ‘Leading Animation Franchise’. Poor Bastards.
Obsidian Entertainment. The company that (to me) took a fat shit all over the KOTOR and Fallout franchises. Twice being tagged in to come up with sequels to beast mode wunder-titles. Twice defecating. Everywhere. Now they’re developing for an enormous animation franchise or something. I feel bad for this foolish company.
‘Sonic Generations’ Pre-Orders Beating All Previous Sonic Titles. Will Still Suck.
Nuh-uh. You can’t trick me. Sonic has let me down consistently for a decade. I thought it was going to be back with Sonic 4, and then even that sucked. So the fact that Sonic Generations has pre-sales like a mofuckah’? Don’t mean a thing.
Nintendo Announcing Greater Loss Than Expected For First Half. What Will Wii Do?!
Nintendo is bleeding money out of its orifices. It’s a different concept, because since they launched the Waving Phallus-ii back in 2006 they’ve been printing money just to waste it wiping their cruddy bums on. These days? These days they be spittin’ losses everywhere. Double what was expected. Frowns. Frowns afoot.
