Three games…three… Valve CEO Gabe Newell has never been a fan of consoles and reaffirmed those feelings recently whenhe explained to Eurogamerthat “We get really frustrated working in walled gardens.” This time is he talking not about power, but having to rely on other companies to deliver and publish their products. Instead, using their own walled gardens of Steam and Vive, Valve is “building” three new games. Newell clarifies these will be real games unlikeThe Lab, noting, “When I say we’re building three games, we’re building three full games, not experiments....

And it’ll be live-action Warner Bros. Pictures is developing aMinecraftmovie according toDeadline. Notch himselfconfirmed the newsas well. So yeah, that’s happening. Warner acquired the movie rights from Mojang, and it looks like this will be a live-action take on the hit videogame. Roy Lee, who produced The LEGO Movie, is set to produce the Minecraft movie as well. Lots ofvideogame movie newsrecently, but if any movie based on a game were to be a blockbuster hit, it would surely be one based onMinecraft....

This was probably a real scrapped RE6 subplot Resident Evilgames can get real weird. Weird as in, “a grown man’s head on a baby” weird? Uh, yeah that’s about par for the course for this series in its complete camp heyday. It may not even be a top five all-time weird hall of fame event, and “we had clone DNA of Chris Redfield lying around” willprobablybe uttered at some point in series history....

Maybe earlier is better, yeah? Update: $50 gift code deal is now dead 🙁 Microsoft probably should have checked the calendar when it started upthis Xbox One sale, but for those who don’t care or need to have it in time for Christmas, this deal is rock solid. For a limited time, the Microsoft Store is once again offering a gift code with the purchase of any Xbox One bundles. The value is now $50 (vs....

Sometimes At-less isn’t At-more Ken Levine has gone on record several times stating that he didn’t like the way the climactic fight inBioShockturned out. Here’san examplefrom as far back as 2011. This is not a new development. But Levine willingly ate crow again, while roping in the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. That’s funny enough to revisit. Today is the Jewish day of atonement, it seems. So I’m here to apologize for the naked Atlas boss battle at the end of BioShock....

Glitches…man As you may have heard,Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5is a bit glitchy. Now, this shouldn’t come as a complete shock. Developer Robomodo, who has handled the series since 2009, hasn’t had the best track record withRide, Shred, andTony Hawk HD. In particular, the latter game was filled to the brim with wonky physics and glitches, some of which didn’t get patched until months later. I’m currently playingTony Hawk 5for review now, and I’ve ran into many of the same problems as our friends from Eurogamer....

Rockin’ dual blades and manties 3D CG fan animations can be a tricky thing. Fans don’t have access to the incredible tools that pros use, thus their work obviously looks much, much, much rougher than what you’d see in theaters or even on TV. Getting around that nasty hurdle requires a clear stylistic hook. Japanese animatorGiM‘s trademark is to make characters resemble adorable figurines with big, expressive faces — like aNenderoidToy Story....

Pretty fabulous trailer. Really cool website replete with the same gorgeous artwork and great music. Oh, it’s a mobile game and probably not ever leaving Japan....

But it’s just for South Korea Civilization Onlineis an upcoming MMO being developed by XLGAMES and 2K Games. Unlike otherCivilizationgames where you control entire empires, this one has you playing as an individual unit in one of four different cultures. You’ll be playing on a procedurally-generated open world map, and everything is happening in real time. There will be different eras, from Ancient to Modern, and once a victory condition is met through the PVP aspect (such as world conquest or winning the space race), the world will reset....

Yikes! Earlier this month,we heard a new Pikachu game was in the works. A preview of an upcoming episode of Japanese television programProfessional Shigoto no Ryuugi only shows a couple of scenes of the work in progress. One shows an on-screen magnifying glass hovering over Pikachu. Another has some of the creepiest facial capture work I’ve ever seen. That Pikachu snarl is nightmare fuel! The episode features The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara, who says that development on this game began this past summer....

Maybe a new Dishonored? Whatever projects are on the horizon for Arkane Studios, it looks like CryEngine will play a significant part in at least one of them. ZeniMax islooking to hiredevelopers who have experience with the engine for both Arkane Austin and BattleCry Studios, as reported byIGN. This raises the obvious question of: what exactly is Arkane working on? Bethesda said this summer thatit viewsDishonoredas a franchise, so it probably won’t be long before we see something pop up about a second installment in the series....
