Alan Wake Shows Signs of Life 10:55
Finnish developer Remedy began work on psychological thriller Alan Wake in 2005. It's 2009, and some are starting to peg the title as vaporware. A new announcement indicates otherwise.
Remedy has joined forces with Imagination Studios, who is supplying the Finnish dev with "motion-capture and animations" to enhance Alan Wake. Remedy exec Lasse Seppänen stated, "It is with great pleasure that we can recommend Imagination Studios. Remedy has been extremely pleased with their co-operation and devotion in bringing the characters of Alan Wake to life."
The developer is also best know for churning out the first two Max Payne titles for Rockstar Games. Max Payne 3 is being created by Rockstar's Vancouver studio — a sign that Remedy could be working full capacity on Alan Wake.

MW2 - Gameinformer Scans sind da! 23:37
HIER SCHONMAL DIE ERSTEN 5 SEITEN UND EINE ZUSAMMENFASSUNG.
WEITERE 5 SEITEN FOLGEN!
Single player enemies will have "customized" weapons similar to the multiplayer component of COD4.
The ice mission shown to GI demonstrated the game's open-ended approach to combat, showing how stealth can be implemented if the player chooses.
While the gameplay is open-ended, the story is "on-rails".
Infinity Ward realizes that the "invisible line" where enemies will stop coming in COD4 wasn't great, so they're trying hard to eliminate that. Also, they are lengthening the single player past the 6-10 hour mark of COD4.
"Special Forces Mode" is a major part of MW2, a series of missions in the spirit of the Mile High Club from COD4. It will also have co-op in this mode. Gears-style bleed-out-and-partner-revive will be used.
Co-op apparently won't exist in Story Mode.
Riot shields will be implemented in the game.
Zakhaev's former associate, Makarov, is the "new face of global terrorism."
Snowmobiles are used as a form of escape in the demonstration. Unclear whether or not the player will drive, shoot, or both.
Players will alternate using the two triggers to climb ice-walls.
Movable turrets will be used in SF mode and Single Player, no official word on online use.
IW wants to implement an accomplishment system to online, as they want to make their players famous.
Online mode will use a "Live-Patching" system, where IW can manipulate spawn logic or certain parts of a multiplayer map without doing a full-blown patch.
Another demoed area shows an enormous desert setting where Task Force 141 drops into a wasteland and must navigate a "lengthy trek" to a fully-rendered valley with scattered caves, reminiscent of Iron Man.
IW is focusing on details for the COD4 sequel, citing iced-up tire treads in the Russian level.
The game will run in 60fps (duh).

MW2 hype machine - GO! 11:37
Von fourzerotwo:
May is a busy month and the hype machine is definitely in full effect. Cover story hitting mid-may, the first Gameplay trailer ever hitting May 24th and then E3 just around the corner the first week of June, I’m stoked. Can’t wait to FINALLY be shedding the shroud of secrecy and getting down to the good stuff!

Red Dead Redemption will be massive 14:26
Speaking with IGN, Rockstar's Dan Houser has revealed that, unlike the first game, this title will have a lot more in common with the Grand Theft Auto series, as it takes place in an open, sprawling world split across three territories: traditional Western turf, northern Mexico and then a "modern" town (the game being set at the turn of the 20th century).
Indeed, it seems the only thing carrying over from the original will (it's got no story links to the first game, and stars a new "hero") be its greatest gameplay asset, the "deadeye" quickdraw mechanic, though how this will be tweaked and/or modified for the sequel remains to be seen.
Houser reserves some of his most glowing praise for the scope of the game world, though. "The sense of scale, and the sense of riding across these big areas and exploring these weird corners of the map, that is part of the experience, just as much as having the shootouts and part of the story and adventure. The act of seeing these beautiful views and discovering them for yourself and feeling like it's enormous and I can go over there and see what's up that hill and see for miles in the distance, that is part of the beauty and fun of the game."

Pratik Patel, technical director for Electronic Arts updated his page on LinkedIn (like Facebook, just more corporate!) to include "Dead Space 2/Project ETA." A sequel's hardly surprising, but the fact it's underway might be news.

Bioshock 2 mit Mulitplayer 18:15
"The fans asked for a multiplayer experience and we answered," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "With Digital Extremes delivering a multiplayer experience for BioShock 2 that features all of the things that make BioShock unique, we're holding ourselves to a high standard so that we can deliver the depth and variety that fans of the BioShock universe demand."
GTA franchise going downhill? 13:01
An article posted over at CNBC suggests that the GTA franchise might be heading on a downhill slope to its eventual demise.
One of the two reasons stated for this theory include the fact that sales numbers haven't been released for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, the first of two episodes of downloadable content exclusive to Xbox 360. CNBC says that "analysts speculate the number [of sales] to be at or below the 1 million mark." So 1 million downloads at $20 each ends up being $20 million. Let's pretend that the second episode does the same later this year. $40 million made off the episodes is less than the $50 million that Microsoft paid Rockstar Games to keep them exclusive.
The second reason that CNBC stated had to do with poor sales numbers for GTA: Chinatown Wars. We'll see what happens in the future for the series, but as Jon Stewart might point out...it might be time for CNBC to take a closer look at the news and advice that they churn out.

e3 hype machine - GO! 12:31
Microsoft honcho and screamer Steve Ballmer gave a speech today in Dallas as a guest of the Dallas Regional Chamber to deliver a speech at the Dallas Convention Center.The topic: "The Role of Innovation in a Challenging Economy". The game connection: During his speech, Ballmer is quotes as saying, "Pay attention to the stuff we're announcing in the next month on Xbox." Ballmer did not elaborate more than that reports Victor Godinez fromThe Dallas Morning News.Of course, next month is E3, and of course Microsoft will be announcing things for its Xbox 360 platform — things like the rumored motion controller. If it doesn't, Steve Ballmer still wants your undivided attention.
