No Move support for Resident Evil 5
Posted by UbeRamza in Featured, PlayStation Motion Games, PlayStation Move, Resident Evil 5 on July 27th, 2010
People are extremely angry as am I that Capcom is adding Move support to Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition and not the original Resident Evil 5. They claim that they cannot patch the original game so that it supports Move due to technical reasons. I have a hard time believing this to be true. It just doesn’t make sense how seemingly identical games could be different enough to cause that much of a problem. It just seems like Capcom isn’t trying at all and are only doing this to make a bigger profit.
It makes absolutely no sense why the RE fans that went out and bought the game when it was first released are being snubbed over people that waited over a year. It sends a message that the people that supported their game from day one are less important, and that maybe we should all wait a year to buy games just to make sure that we don’t miss out on a better version of the game that has more options and better support. If more fans did this, companies wouldn’t have made enough money on the game to make a gold edition in the first place.
I get that video games are a multibillion dollar business and that companies make games to make money but we aren’t stupid. We have a pretty good idea when these companies are just trying to milk us and this is one of those times. I mean Capcom has been doing this to fans for years. We have all seen them milk game properties like Mega Man and Street Fighter II. At what point is enough, enough
RDR Game Night Recap: July 17th
Posted by Demerson in Game Night, Red Dead Redemption on July 27th, 2010
Yes, the date is correct. We are a tad bit late when it comes to do our recaps (perhaps because we care more about gaming than writing…). Unfortunatelly I was not playing that night due to personal matters, but Sinlock was in a good mood to let me write this recap and distribute the points to the players that were having fun that night.
No more waiting. Here are the awards for the RDR Game Night, July 17th:

Rumor: There’s a cheaper Move bundle coming
Posted by Ace in PlayStation Move, PS3, Talk on July 27th, 2010
Sony has already announced a few options for gamers who want to get Move. There’s the standalone pack for US $49, the US $99 bundle that comes with the controller, a PlayStation Eye, and a Move-enabled game, and a console bundle that goes for US $399. Word has it there’s a cheaper console bundle coming too.
This other bundle, which will supposedly be sold for US $349, pretty much includes the same stuff as the US $399 bundle — a PS3, a Move controller, a PS Eye camera, a DualShock controller, and a game.
According to Gamervision’s source, the difference is in the console hard drive sizes. The more expensive bundle will come with a 320GB console while the cheaper one will have a 120GB PS3.
Paired with rumors of Sony replacing 120GB models with the 320GB ones, the bright side here is that the 120GB PS3s may get a US $50 price cut once these bundles hit retail. Don’t get your hopes up too much, though. Sony has yet to announce anything official regarding this.

F1 20210 Tracks & Cars Video
A new Developer Diary from Codemasters for F1 2010 is out in its full extended cut featuring the design process of the tracks and cars. A neat touch is Davidson describing turn 8 at Belgium with an accompanying video showing you what he is describing. Looks like F1 2010 is shaping up nicely although I’m still sceptical about it being 30 fps instead of Sony’s last outing; F1 Championship Edition which was 60 fps. Hopefully the crash/damage modelling system is a big step up from Sony’s last effort though. F1 2010 is due out October.

PS3 Netflix service gets a search option
We’re still waiting for Netflix to go disc-less, but in the meantime, the service providers have delivered on the UI improvements like they promised. To make content finding much easier, Netflix has added a quick search option to help you out.
This option has yet to reach the Wii, while the Xbox 360 will get it by November.

DC Universe Online Full Trailer
Posted by Marc Macayan in DC Universe Online, Media, PS3 on July 26th, 2010
Another Comic-Con big hit this weekend was the full cinematic trailer for DC Universe Online. Titled, “Who do you Trust?”, the trailer shows a video of DC heroes and villains battle it out til the end. No one stops until one is dead or is bleeding Kryptonite liquid from the mouth, causing Superman to awake and return from exile. A twist in the story awaits though, so better check it out.
In DC Universe Online, you’ll be able to team up with legendary DC heroes like Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern… or pledge allegiance to the Joker, Lex Luthor, and other classic villains to determine the fate of the DC Universe. During the struggle for supremacy, you’ll team up with thousands of other players online from your PS3, customize your own skills and abilities, and ultimately create the most powerful super-being ever depicted in a videogame setting
So now that we know that gamers can become the next great legend of the DC Universe, the next question is whether or not they’ll save it, or conquer it? Guess we’ll find out when the game hits the PS3 on November 2nd.
