ZeniMax (Bethesda) Buys Tango Gameworks (Mikami – Resident Evil)
ZeniMax is setting out to be noticed with all of the studios they are gobbling up lately. They now own id Software, Bethesda, Vir2l Studios, Mud Duck Productions, ZeniMax Online Studios and Arkane Studios.
With the recent acquisition, they get one of the most skilled developers in the industry, Shinji Mikami. The creator of Resident Evil, also worked on titles such as Vanquish, Devil May Cry, God Hand and Viewtiful Joe.
So what do you think? What could the first Bethesda/Mikami game be?
Activision Shafts PS3 Users (Again) (Black Ops)
Posted by Blackstaffer in PS3 on October 28th, 2010
CoD2 was never released on the PS3, probably because it came out before the PS3 was launched. But CoD3 was released for the PS3, but without the split screen support and map packs that 360 users enjoyed. In MW2 split screen, we had to play against “Guest 2″ and “Guest 3″ while 360 users got to play against named opponents. (I assume this was the case in WaW and MW1 as well, I just don’t remember.) 360 users got map packs before PS3 users as well.
Now, PS3 users are getting shafted by Activision one more time. Is it getting to the point where we have to just expect this and be content with our second-class status?
What am I talking about? Split screen online support, where the second player gets to log in under their own Xbox Live account on the 360, while PS3 users do not get the equivalent PSN support.
Just makes you kind of mad, doesn’t it? Is Microsoft’s wallet at play here? Or is Activision just lazy? Or do they really just like to baby their 360′s because they just like them so much more?
Oh, and before you go saying that the PS3 doesn’t support this kind of dual login, just stop right there. It does. Resistance 2, released two years ago, supports this feature, and does a great job of it. It’s in the firmware, Activision. Use it!
