Leipzig 08: RUMOR – Mirror’s Edge a Timed PLAYSTATION 3 Exclusive?

Posted in PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , , , , , , on August 23, 2008 by Jonathan Cullen

Hmm, I sorta had a feeling this may have happened considering it was unveiled at PlayStation Day back in May. Infact when it was shown that this game was on the list of games been shown at PS Day in London, it was originally thought it was going to be announced as a timed exclusive for the PS3.

Now it seems that Mirror’s Edge is coming to the PLAYSTATION 3 as a timed exclusive…if a German website reporting back from Games Convention is to be believed.

And it’s David Reeves from SCEE who seems to have kicked it off…

According to Joystiq, a highly placed source inside Marketing in Microsoft has said that when the Arcade bundle (Thats the one without a HDD) gets reduced, a new bundle which will include the usual arcade games in a 512 MB Memory Card, it will get a Motion Sensor Controller with a couple of Motion Control games being developed by Rare.

An Open Letter to Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights

Posted in Xbox 360 with tags , , , , , on August 22, 2008 by Jonathan Cullen

On Tuesday, Too Human was released in America for the Xbox 360 with it coming here next Friday the 29th of August.

However, as of late Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights, the studio behind Silicon Knights, has been mouthing off about the negtivity of the game after it got some mixed reviews as well as a serious bashing from NeoGAF.

So bad was the said bash that Dyack went on GAF and posted on it with the following post:

“When the game is released and everyone plays game all the speculation will be over. If I am wrong and gamers in general think the game is ‘crap’ then I am comfortable with getting tagged ‘Owned by the GAF’.” Every single other person who thinks or hopes the game will be an epic failure gets their own tag — “Owned by Too Human.”

And yet so far, Dyack has not accepted the following tag.

On the same day of Too Human’s US release, Dyack said to Joystiq:

“But what we’re also seeing is for the people who don’t like it, generally just don’t get it. And it’s because we’ve created something so innovative and different,”

The entire open letter is after the break.
