We know that mobile devices such as iPad have become prominent devices for entertainment and gaming and are actually dominating the Game industry. John Riccitiello, the Electronic Arts CEO told IndustryGamers yesterday and this what he had to say about the matter:

Consoles used to be 80% of the industry as recently as 2000. Consoles today are 40% of the game industry, so what do we really have? I think that the pattern against which Nintendo is no longer resonating is over anyway. We have a new hardware platform and we’re putting out software every 90 days. Our fastest growing platform is the iPad right now and that didn’t exist 18 months ago.

The industry is undergoing a titanic shift, factors like the ease of publishing to the App Store, the extremely low cost to become a developer, the growth of free games and the rise of the female gamer (53% of mobile gamers are female) are rewriting the rules and making millionaires overnight.

Here is an in depth look infographic at the numbers and stats behind the game industry. pause your game for few minutes to take a look.

Metal Gear Maestro and game director Hideo Kojima unveiled new technology codenamed the “Fox Engine” at E3 Show today. As ign reports, this next-generation, multi-platform gaming engine will power a new project from Mr. Kojima, which is said to be something new from the designer after over a decade focused on directing Metal Gear Solid games.

Kojima still wants to keep the project under wraps. Instead, a technological showcase was presented showing the engine running in realtime featuring a young boy running through a jungle, there is a horse and a dog seen in the environment, both with realistic detailing rather than stylish interpretation.

The demonstration was run using an Xbox 360 dev kit, but the engine is built to run on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and other advanced gaming platforms. Kojima himself is directing a game on the “Fox Engine” that is planned for release across multiple platforms. Work on this Kojima Productions original engine was begun shortly after the completion of MGS4, with further development informed by the development of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The technology is, in part, made to provide a complete development suite for Konami developers, allowing for great-looking titles on reasonably shorter development schedules, according to Kojima.

Guinness World Records’ gaming editor, Gaz Deaves has released a list of newly awarded records. As the LA Times reports:

The iPhone 4 was named the fastest-selling portable gaming system by Guinness after selling an estimated 1.5 million handsets on the first day it was released on June 24, 2010.

Guinness also said Apple’s App Store is the most popular application marketplace:

“With over 6.5 billion downloads since its launch in July 2008, the Apple App Store is the most popular downloadable app service in the world,” the world-record-tracking organization said.

About 259,470 apps were available for purchase or free download as of September 2010, while about 50,000 other apps that were once available in the App Store have been discontinued, Guinness said.

The App Store is also the largest downloadable video game store, with about 37,362 games available for download as of last September, Guinness said.

The App Store was also given a world record for the largest launch lineup of any gaming system with more than 145 games available on July 10, 2008.

Angry birds and other games have their own shares too:

Angry Birds was recognized at the top paid-for App Store game in most countries, having sold more than 6.5 million downloads of the iOS version of the game since it was first released in December 2009.

The Tap Tap Revenge game series, from game developer Tapulous, was cited as the most popular game series in App Store history, “having been downloaded more than 15 million times since the first game in the series was released in July 2008,” Guinness said. “Market research firm ComScore reports that the games have been installed by 32% of all iPhone/iPad users.”

The final chapter in the Ezio trilogy has been detailed. The latest issue of Game Informer has first information on Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, which sees Ezio searching for the lost ‘seals’ of his assassin ancestor, Altair.

• Ezio is over 50 years old in this game
• Ezio is looking for seals in Revelations. These seals hold the memories of Altair. They’ll allow Ezio to peek into Altair’s life (just as Desmond uses Animus to peek into his ancestors lives).
• You’ll control Altair through these sequences.
• The bulk of the game is set in Constantinople which will be split into 4 huge districts (Constantin, Beyazid, Imperial and Galata)
• You’ll also visit Cappadocia
• Ezio has a new item called the hookblade which allows him to use ziplines throughout the city. UBI says that it speeds up navigation by about 30%
• You can also use the hookblade to reach out and pull enemies in for a combo
• Ezio can now make bombs through a crafting system. UBI says that there are over 300 bomb types
• They’ve modified the control scheme so that circle/B will control the hookblade and triangle/Y will control project weapons and bombs
• Eagles vision has become eagle sense. “Eagle sense let’s you focus on a character and see where he’s been,” Amancio says. “You’ll get an approximation of where he will go. If you’re able to detect the path a guard will take, you can run ahead, set a bomb, and create a trap or an ambush.”
• They’ve expanded on the Borgia Towers concept in order to create a new system. Throughout the city there are Assassin’s Den’s, you’ll need to complete various assault scenarios in order take down the Templar presence (UBI says that there’s more variety than in the Borgia Towers). Once you obtain a den you’ll be able to upgrade the buildings in that region along with adding ziplines across the rooftops. You’ll also be able to change the guards from being hostile to neutral.
• You can lose control of you dens as you gain notoriety. You’ll be able to send your own troops after the templars if you’re unable to make it back to the specific den that’s being attacked. You can do that by making it to any of the other dens that you currently control. You’ll also be able to install a master assassin to control a specific den and you’ll never have to worry about it being taken over.
• The assassin leveling mechanic has been increased from 10 to 15.
• In order to make the world more immersive they’ve done away with traditional side missions in favor of random events. For example you may be traveling through a city and notice a shop owner being robbed or a little girl asking for help
• They’re using a new type of capture facial technology called Mocam that GI describes as an “intriguing amalgamation of traditional animation, performance capture and the fascinating new style of performance on display in games like LA Noire.”
• Desmond is placed back inside Animus where he finds a safe mode called the ‘Black Room’. You’ll be able to access Desmond’s lost memories through that back door
• The gameplay during Desmond’s game is described as narrative-fueled puzzle sequences. “Through the manipulation and creation of geometry with the game world, Desmond seeks to reintegrate the splintered layers of his subconscious.”
• Multiplayer is returning but this time they’re trying to give more focus to the narrative since that’s a big part of AC
• You’ll be able to custom your character appearance and weapons as well as create guilds.

Ubisoft has launched a fresh teaser trailer for the new Assassin’s Creed game ahead of its reveal later this month.

Posted on the publisher’s Assassin’s Facebook page, the trailer appears to flash the date 24.06.1459 atop an image of Hagia Sophia, a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.

Another Assassin’s Creed teaser trailer was released earlier this week, shortly after Ubisoft accidentally confirmed the game will be subtitled ‘Revelations’.

For a brief moment the official Assassin’s Creed Facebook page displayed a link to a mysterious teaser site, along with the message, “The day you have been waiting for has arrived!!! Click the link below to help reveal an exclusive look at the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game!”

Naturally the teaser site disappeared as quickly as it turned up, but not before ravenous fans were able to dissect its every last detail, including a logo for Revelations and confirmation of a May 13 reveal in US mag Game Informer.

Most interesting though was the translation of an Arabic message on the briefly-online teaser, which mentioned the name of original Assassin’s Creed protagonist, Altair Ibn La Ahd.

We’ll know for sure when it’s unveiled in US mag Game Informer on May 13.

Late last month, Firemint released an HD version of “Real Racing 2,” which allows users with the iPad 2 to hook up the device to a 1080p HDTV. Users can disconnect without interuppting the game, Firemint said.

Following to Users being unable to sign on or greeted with PSN Error Message 80710A06 when trying to log in to PSN, Sony was investigating the cause of the outages, which began late last night. No word on whether or not this outage is related to the same outage occurrences from earlier this month that was likely spurred on by the hacker group known as Anonymous.

Sony tonight issued a statement saying the PlayStation Network outage is due to an “external intrusion” but did not clarify beyond that. A timetable for when PSN will be up and running again was also not provided.

Hacker group Anonymous said today they are not claiming responsibility for this particular outage, however.

The statement in full from Senior Director of Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold can be read below:

An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th.

Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.

New information regarding Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has surfaced via OPM. Issue 57 of the mag reveals some new details on the plot, locales and game mechanics of Nate’s next adventure. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception follows Drake, as he searches for a lost city in the Arabian Peninsula.

Spoilers Ahead:

• Drake will be spending most of his time in the Arabian desert, exploring the dunes of Rub’ al Khali.
• You’ll still be globe trotting, visiting places like London and a jungle temple.
• You can expect “all the things you’d expect in a desert” – that includes sandstorms and mirages.
• This creates a dynamic environment to explore, with altering geography, “We’ve done a ton of research…The way sand blows over and curls over the tops of dunes, the way it displaces and flows – it’s almost a liquid,” said creative director Amy Hennig.
• Plot is based around Lawrence of Arabia and Iram of the Pillars – The Atlantis of the Sands.
• Drake and Sully are seen in the Empty Quarter, looking for Iram of the Pillars.
• Apparently, there are bike sections, “We have a strong tradition of vehicular gameplay, and we try not to repeat ourselves,” says ND.
• Story isn’t set in stone yet, but villain Katherine Marlowe is part of a secret order that dates back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
• This is not Drake’s last adventure, ND stresses that “the Uncharted franchise was never conceived as a trilogy.”
• Previous characters will be returning, does that include both Elena and Chloe?
• New melee combat system lets Drake fight multiple enemies at once, but also shows him picking up a bottle from a table and introducing it to an enemy’s face. New stealth moves and mechanics have been added as well.
• Naughty Dog said, “We’ll be sure to alert everyone if a public beta is in the works this time around.”

Uncharted 3 is scheduled for a November 1, 2011 release, exclusively on the PS3.

EA / DICE has just unleashed a brand new gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3. It’s pretty spectacular. Take a look below.

The video is called “Fault Line: Episode 2 Good Effect” and features some earth-shattering physics effects powered by their new frostbite 2 engine – as well as some scrabbling about on rooftops. Oh, and plenty of destruction.

DICE has called out its rivals in the latest OPM, claiming “our competitors are getting lazy… they had better watch out. We are coming for them.”

The studio’s general manager, Karl Magnus Troedsson, has added that the developer regrets its past neglect of the PC community, and that it’s intent on making it up with Battlefield 3.

Oh, and here’s part one, in case you missed it earlier this month!

Battlefield 3 comes this fall

New hackers and developers called “pandaelf” was able to find a way to play PS3 Games on your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. With a little wrangling of simple hardware and everyAir, the developers have successfully made it possible to play PS3 games on any iOS device.

Q&A:

Q: What’s the overall picture for how this works?
A: The trick is to connect a capture device and a USB mouse/keyboard device to the PS3. The capture device sends video data to the PC, and the USB keyboard/mouse sends the button presses. On the PC itself, you run a custom build of everyAir which understands custom gestures and pipes the input to the PC which then sends it to the PS3 via the input interpreter.

Q: What were some of the hurdles?
A: There are two problems to solve: sending the video signal to the iOS device and sending back input from the iOS device. Sending the video signal is solved by using an off the shelf capture device, and then sending back the input is a combination of a custom build of everyAir with an off the shelf mouse/keyboard device that connects to the PS3.

Q: How do you send input to the PS3?
A: Using one of those USB Keyboard/Mouse devices. For example, Eagle Eye (search for it on Amazon).

Q: How do you get the video signal from the PS3 to the iOS device?
A: We do this by using an off the shelf capture device. The capture device connects to the PC, TV, and to the PS3. The result is that a livestream of the PS3′s video signal ends up on the PC.

Q: How do you connect to the PC from the iOS device?
A: Using everyAir – our remote desktop application.

Q: How does everyAir understand the game gestures?
A: We’re using a custom build of everyAir, and it’s hardcoded to understand these gestures. Additionally, it knows how to pipe input to the mouse/kb device in a way that it expects.

Q: Will this be publicly available?
A: We plan to release a fully customizable version at some point in the future.

As you read on the above quotation, till now there is no ETA for this cool idea, as usual I will let you informed with any updates, stay tuned.

Not included in the Killzone 3 closed beta which run a few months ago, the PlayStation Move motion controller will be supported in the announced Killzone 3 open beta, which will run between the 2nd/3rd and the 14th/15th of February (dates refer to US/EU schedules).

Everyone will be able to participate by downloading the beta client from the PlayStation Store when the time comes. This is not a PlayStation Plus exclusive.

The beta will feature the snowy “Frozen Dam” map and give access to 3 multiplayer modes (Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations), along with the offline Botzone mode, which pits you against AI opponents.

And yes, 3D and Move Supported controls will be available too.

[UPDATE] Sony has also released a brand new multiplayer video set in a never before seen map called “Bilgarsk Boulevard”. Check it out below.

One more multiplayer video, this time featuring the never before seen “Kaznan Junge”. Looks amazing.

If there’s one thing that says a lot about a game is the size, with Sony’s next big title Killzone 3 releasing soon, just how does it stack up?

Today at JPS headquarters we got quite the interesting package straight from Sony, a prerelease copy of the upcoming title Killzone 3. The Killzone series has a lot going on from amazing graphics to a top class online multiplayer. Fans who might have played the demo may recall a rather large download size, nearly 4 GB in size. So this brings up the question, just how big is Killzone 3? Its quite the understable question, most of the higher file size games are either top tier or have nearly endless things to do; some examples would be Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2, God of War 3 and the highest of all Final Fantasy XIII.

As our first of many topics to give you all the details on this powerhouse, we are happy to announce that Killzone 3 is 41.5 GB making it just a little bit over Final Fantasy XIII making it the largest current Playstation 3 title. This is quite a shock considering the last game (Killzone 2) clocked in with a respectable 12 GB! With this news though, I’m sure you have to be wondering if there’s a data install. I mean most largest games have one, and you want something this nice to run perfectly right? Well we are happy to announce that Killzone 3 officially has NO data install and runs perfectly!

Stay tuned for more information in the days to come.

Kazunori Yamauchi

Gran Turismo 5 has finally launched globally and here why it sucks:

1. Why can’t you upgrade the brakes? Why are performance upgrades as well as body upgrades so limited?

2. You can’t paint your car any color unless you’ve owned that car in that color first?

3. Why are there only 200 premium cars as compared to Forza 3′s 500+ fully premium cars with cockpit views?

4. Why do some tracks look so bad while others are superb?

5. Why is there only 2 online play modes?

6. Why is there no clutch in this game (whats the point of using Logitec G27 wheel with clutch)?

7. Why is the damage so unrealistic, and the most you get is panels coming slightly off?

8. The menus are inconsistent by any means.

9. Why do 800 cars look like GT4 cars but in HD and without cockpit views?

10. Why there are lots of burned shadows and you hardly get the chance to see a clean dashboard?

11. There is no “upload to Youtube” feature that promised

12. No proper settings whether camera tracking, damage, day/night transition are currently turned on/off.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR 6 YEARS?

This is why the game sucks. It was much of hype & I Was so excited

Kazunori Yamauchi,

So finally Gran Turismo 5 goes gold

The news came from the team Jalopnik at SEMA

We just asked Kazunori Yamauchi, the father of Gran Turismo, in an interview here at SEMA, the question on everyone’s minds — when will GT5 finally be released? His response: “The discs are being stamped as we speak.”

The picture above is Kazunori making a disc-stamping motion with his hands as he answered our query on the ever-shifting release date. We did talk about a number of different topics other than the release — and we’ll have more coming shortly — but for the moment, we thought we’d at least bring you that response.
