Ishcabittle: Playstation Suite and Android's fight against iOS gaming dominance.

ishcabittle:

What if a future Android release removes an API or framework that the Suite depends on to function? What if Sony updates the Suite to a new version that requires a version of Android that your carrier doesn’t support? It’s going to take a great deal of work and co-operation between these to companies to create a cohesive experience; I hope they are both up to the challenge.

LimaSky Withdraws App Store Doodle Restriction.

Igor says this was only initiated to protect the Doodle Jump trademark - which Lima Sky owns - in certain situations, and to protect the character of The Doodler - also trademarked.

At this point, the situation gets really complex as it seems there are completing trademark applications over the term ‘Doodle’.

Anyhow, the conclusion is a win-win. All Doodle games on the App Store are safe, and everyone has learnt something about IP law.

Sony Telling People The PSP2 Is As Powerful As A PS3

atdaleunderscorea:

What is the point? The support developers showed the original psp was piss poor at best. It had so much potential. I cannot imagine things changing this time around. […] Like it or not, I think that the future of mobile gaming lies in your $1 games in your app stores of choice.

I hope it plays my UMDs.

Captain America: Super Soldier

via Press Release:


  Players will become Captain America as he faces the Red Skull and his army in an epic third- person action adventure set in the darkest days of World War II. Wielding Captain America’s legendary shield, gamers will engage in free-flowing combat and acrobatic platforming to infiltrate Hydra’s mysterious castle and battle the infamous Iron Cross, the forces of Hydra, and a host of nefarious enemies serving the Red Skull. As the First Avenger himself, players must defeat the evil scientist Arnim Zola and his wartime experiments, combining powerful melee combos and shield attacks to devastating effect.


When was the last time Cap had his own game, ever? I hope it doesn’t suck.

  Overall, I want to create games. I don’t want to do this to make money (although that would be a nice job), I want to do this because I really enjoy it.


Do your nerdy duty and Kickstart this project. Jason Tagmire is a friend of mine and is putting together his own old school board game. Also, be sure to check out their stuff on XBOX Live Arcade. It sure would be cool if they go into iOS development. (hinthint)

Carmack’s demonstration, using the id Tech 5 engine, could possibly be the most impressive tech we’ve seen on the iPhone. Running on the iPhone 4 but easily run on the 3GS, the visuals indeed rivaled anything from the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox, and might even be able to give a few current-gen titles a run for their money.

id Shows Off ‘Rage’ Running on iPhone 4 at 60 Frames Per Second, MacRumors.

I’ll believe it when I see the finished product.

XBOX 360 Arcade replaced w/ 4GB S Model

In addition to Kinect retail pricing, Microsoft announced a brand-new Xbox console: a 4GB Xbox 360 “slim” meant to replace the Xbox 360 Arcade SKU. “It will go on sale August 3rd in North America,” Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg told Joystiq, “and later in the month of August around the world.” This $200 console will sport the same new look as the Xbox 360 slim, “except it will have a matte finish,” Greenberg said.

Plus, you can get a 4GB model w/ Kinect for $300. Tempting.

Not sure how cool it would be to have a matte 360 S and a slick looking Kinect next to each other, though.
