Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Is Back!

Quote:

Developer Just Add Water is working on a HD remake of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. That's the good news. The bad news, at least for Xbox owners, is that for now it seems to be a PS3 exclusive.
It's a cruel irony that one of the few original Xbox games that was never made compatible with the Xbox 360 now returns, only...for a PlayStation machine instead. At least it does for now, the game's press release only mentioning a PS3 release.
Still, PS3 owners are in for a treat, as Stranger's Wrath was one of the most unique and memorable shooters to grace Microsoft's first console. Playing it in high definition should only make things better, especially since it'll also support the PlayStation Move.
Stranger's Wrath will be released as a PlayStation Network downloadable title, and will be out Easter 2011. Xbox 360 owners, don't give up hope, as the word "exclusive" was nowhere to be seen in the press release.

ATi Brand Name is layed to Rest

Revan654 — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:16:31 GMT

ust as we’re about to see results from the acquisition AMD is announcing that it will retire the ATI brand later this year. Save those boxes guys, soon you won’t see an ATI logo on any product sold in the market.

Quote:

The motivation behind the decision to retire the ATI brand comes from AMD’s own internal research. Unfortunately AMD isn’t sharing the details of this research, just the three major findings from it:

1) AMD brand preference triples when the person surveyed is aware of the ATI-AMD merger.
2) The AMD brand is viewed as stronger than ATI when compared to graphics competitors (presumably NVIDIA).
3) The Radeon and Fire Pro brands themselves (without ATI being attached to them) are very high as is.

The second point is really the justification for all of this. If AMD’s internal research is to be believed, AMD vs. NVIDIA is better from a marketing standpoint than ATI vs. NVIDIA. Honestly, AMD’s research seems believable. AMD has always seemed like a stronger brand to me than ATI. There’s little room for ego in business (despite it being flexed all too often) and I don’t believe AMD would hurt its marketing simply to satisfy any AMD executives - the research makes sense.

Meanwhile the third point is the realization that there are very few product lines with the ATI brand left. ATI's chipset operations were quickly absorbed in to AMD and given appropriate naming, while ATI's consumer electronics products such as their Digital TV division have been sold to other companies. Radeon and FirePro are the only two ATI product lines left, and both are strong brands on their own.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Saga Continues

surrealist — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:07:31 GMT

Quote:

After fooling around with a prequel and a lesser sequel, Ukrainian developer GSC Game World gets down to brass tacks with a true sequel to popular first=person shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, due out in 2012. 2007's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl received a prequel in 2008, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. This year's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat was more of a continuation to the original game than a true sequel. Consider the whole trilogy to be the first chapter in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. story.
Chapter two begins in 2012 with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Special Edition Includes

Video Surveillance Vehicle!

http://kotaku.com/5611235/call-of-du...llance-vehicle

Quote:

Due out this November, the special edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops will include a tiny remote control "video surveillance vehicle" inspired by the games multiplayer.

The remote control vehicle, inspired by the RC-XD found in the game's multiplayer, has a range of about 200 feet and a fully-functioning remote camera that transmits both color video and audio. The car will only come with the yet-to-be-officially-priced Prestige Edition of the game, which also comes with all of the extras included with the Hardened Edition.

The Hardened Edition includes a custom Black Ops limited edition medal, exclusive Black Ops Avatar outfit, as well as four playable cooperative maps.

Both editions will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 when the game ships on Nov. 9. No official price has been announced for either edition, but GameStop lists the Prestige Edition for $150 and the Hardened Edition for $80.
