Instead, check out these week’s news:
- Afro Samurai 2 removed from online stores, players get refunded, episodes 2 and 3 canceled
- Activision apologizes for Nuk3town pre-order mix up
- PlayStation 4 is getting PlayStation 2 emulation, Sony reveals
- Electronic Arts doesn’t want to “nickel and dime” gamers with microtransactions
Question of the Week: Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?
Formerly Green Monster Games, 38 Studios is growing a large pool of talented folks for their MMO endeavor. First, we heard R.A. Salvatore (writer of the Dark Elf series) was heading over to work on a story, art direction by Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn) and now Irena Pereira from Blizzard and a sound designer, Aubrey Hodges.
Midway’s been around the industry for years, has decided to lay off up to 90 people and cut the Criminal project from their lineup. This is a long term plan of cost reduction by the board of directors to get down costs and keep the company running smoothly.
