Fable: The Journey and Molyneux's Lionhead legacy
When Peter Molyneux, Lionhead and Microsoft to quit in March, the movement is the general trend of his illustrious career and controversial intermittently. He founded Bullfrog in 1987 and sold it to Electronic Arts in 1995 and left in 1997 to found Lionhead. Lionhead was sold to Microsoft in 2006, and now turns his attention to Molyneux 22 cans, an independent company again.
"Obviously, he had a great influence on the way and still has a great influence on the trip because he is always there as a consultant," said Ben Brooks, head writer on the final draft of Molyneux of Lionhead. "The kind of thing you do now as a consultant, examining the game and the comments that's exactly what Peter was made at this stage of any game of Fable."
Spire:. Their final destination claim
Meanwhile, one wonders if the world also breathe a little easier without Molyneux on hand at meetings of the media, where reporters gathered is often used as armored promises become exactly what ambitious thoughts. The promise of excitement in his voice will change the spells that are converted by hand gestures Kinect, for example, which receives no mention in our recent visit to Guildford Lionhead Studio. Or categorical assurances that Fable: The Journey is not, by any means, on the rails.
time in the game is divided into sections dealing with the past of a wagon pulled by horses and on foot sections that are, at all reasonable definitions of "on track" on track . This is a blow to the hope that is expected to freedom of movement that is added at a later date, as suggested by Molyneux in the previous projections of the game, but is not, or should not be an automatic death blow for Fable: The Journey. This is just another way the trip is, mechanically speaking, the antithesis of everything as before Fable.
Where Ifables III were loose, open world adventure, the journey is a journey: a linear, cross-country walk to the Spire, the building in mystical previous games. Where previous Fables presented separately hero custom characters, the heroes travel gives us a well-defined in Gabriel, the young gypsy-like in the reigns of his trip transportation. When the last game of the animal companion was a beloved dog, The way is Seren, the Shire horse tied to Cart brilliant Gabriel. All this is established in a first person view, not a point of view in the third person, as best the main difference between this game and other fables: Kinect.
No room for the traditional controller in Fable: The Journey. This is a pure Kinect entirely built around without control of the Xbox. Their roots are mixed development project at Lionhead with Milo, the boy presented interactive virtual public debut at E3 in 2009 Kinect not grow beyond a technology demonstration - a sequence that is likely to play a magic pool, shaking hands extended on the surface, is reminiscent of the pool in the demo of Milo.
Fortunately, this "nine or ten hours" each game is played sitting Kinect, with the sequences of horses tested pulling to the left or right on the reins, both to accelerate the formation of cracks , or pulling up and back brake. action on the feet, using each hand to cast spells that include a fireball, a thrust force, and a number of leaves Call of Fable fans will recognize from previous installments.

Persona 4 Golden's OP movie is very chipper
see if you can find all the news before it leaves the PS Vita this fall. Personally I like the look of it. I did not like what Atlus did with his new intro Persona 3 Portable on the PSP, but this new study compares well with the original PS2
Persona 4. It is particularly striking interpretations of bits of death by hanging up. Very shredder, actually. Holds near a candle to the original "Burn My Dread" introduction of Persona 3

Diablo III sells 3.5 million in 24 hours
Diablo III could have been long in-the-making, but was quick to record of success upon release last week. Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the exaggerated vehemence Dungeon Crawler sold 3.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, with over 6.3 million copies of land in the hands of the players during their first week.

Japan's Forgotten Yet Wonderfully Quirky Zombie Games [Video]
Surviving the Frozen Heart of Mother Russia
We had the opportunity to see the hammer moving at a recent show of hands free Company of Heroes 2. Senior Designer, Relic Entertainment, Jasen Torres, and creative director, Simon Watts, took us through a quick scenario highlighting some of the changes and additions coming in this sequel.
Like any good play ground war on the Eastern Front, the snow is a constant companion. Our first contact was with the game of Russian soldiers painfully to his knees in a battlefield covered with snow. As developers explained, the snow is deep, and that will impact movement. Snow slows, and their units are footprints left for others to discover. These tracks are persistent and serious golfers learn to spot the differences between the tracks of tanks and footprints to better understand what your opponent Fielding - even if they can not see the drives themselves.
Snowalso be used in a more tortuous. In one scene, a group of soldiers were ordered to attack a house. Could be dragged its way through the snow, which fell and exposed, or take the road free of snow at the door of the house. They chose the path - just as the enemy supposed they would - and met with a surprise attack in the form of several well-placed landmines.
In some situations, who desperately need forward momentum to avoid being labeled a deserter and shot by his own men. One of the first film created with this execution of the order 227. Famous for the phrase "Not one step back!" this decree was intended to keep the Soviets desperate move - no matter the cost. The dark tone is something that Relic takes the campaign for Company of Heroes 2. Does this mean that every time you move your units back a few steps that we will be shot? This is unlikely. The ramifications of the game remain tight, but the construction of an enjoyable game takes precedence.

Google's Fiber Makes MPAA Skittish. Why Does Hollywood See All Technology In Terms Of Piracy?
An anonymous reader points on a perfect example of the attitude technophobe that has become so ingrained in Hollywood. It begins with a story in Playboy on the pilot of Google in Kansas City, where they are for laying the fiber ultra high-speed Internet for the community. With download speeds of 922 Mbps are now available in nearly a thousand homes, the question inevitably arises of piracy:
[Google spokeswoman Jenna] Wandres fiber stresses that Google is not intended to form the pirates: "We expect that higher speeds will actually easier to deliver and download other authoritative content, "he said. However, Howard Gantman, spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America, says that piracy is always a concern of the entertainment industry. Fibre Google "could be a great opportunity for consumers, whose access to creative content is often hampered by slow speeds," he said. However, South Korea, "the home entertainment market has been decimated by Digital Piracy ", enabled by the widespread availability of high speed Internet access.
one hand, the declaration of South Korea is very low. Koreamusic industry
prosperous high-speed Internet, which grew into an economic power, while that the country had a penetration rate of the highest broadband and before (and rates of digital piracy) in the world. Intelligent Korean businessmen have discovered how to succeed in the new market. Secondly, by stating that "entertainment" as a whole has been damaged by the high speed is just the arrogance of an industry that thinks only of his own products considered "entertainment".
seems that all statements made in Hollywood about the new technology follows the same format. "This new thing is great, but ... piracy!" The problem is that they refuse to act in the first part until someone gives them a bulletproof solution to the second part, and since this solution does not work and never will exist, ruining any attempt at new service and ineffective DRM restrictions. Ars Technica picked up the story and spoke more of the spokesman of the MPAA, find another "great, but ..." Answer:
