Silent Hill: Downpour developer Vatra Games could be closed down

An all too familiar turn of events over the last few years, developer of the recently released Silent Hill: Downpour, Vatra Games, appears to be on the chopping block as their parent company has placed the developer under “strategic review.”

In a statement to Eurogamer, Vatra’s parent company Kuju stated that “The new management team at Kuju have been conducting a strategic review of all aspects of the business. As part of this process, the on-going business activities of the Vatra studio are currently under review. However, at this stage, no decisions have yet been made.”

Unfortunately this isn’t good news for the company, which is a damn shame considering how good Silent Hill: Downpour actually was in keeping with the feel of a classic Silent Hill title while successfully translating that experience to current-gen consoles.

SEGA’s Dreamcast classic – Jet Set Radio was announced back in April that it will be coming soon on the PC, Playstation 3, Playstation Vita and Xbox 360. But wait there is still more! SEGA has also announced that the game will be coming to the iOS platform.  The iOS version will support leaderboards via OpenFeint, and hopefully Apple’s Game Centre, it will also be designed to support Apple’s Retina display.  The game will have a feature that allows you to use photos taken with the device as in game graffiti.

No release date has been given for the iOS version, but the PC, Playstation 3, Playstation Vita, and Xbox 360 versions will be released sometime this summer. For now I’ll stick to my Dreamcast version, but which version will you be playing when JSR skates back into the scene ?

 

Wheatly’s Fate Becomes a Reality

Well it looks like Aperture is going somewhere no one has ever gone before, SPAAACCEEE! Or at least in a way they are. It was shown yesterday that an anonymous technician at NASA decided to etch Portal 2’s iconic British sounding villain Wheatly into space! The Valve blog gave this response:

“When we mentioned an ‘anonymous tech at NASA’ we weren’t kidding: NASA in no way officially endorses secretly laser-engraving characters from Portal onto their spacecraft.”

This wonderful easter egg will be launched on a resupply craft heading to the International Space Station on Friday at 10:06 EST. This comes as a surprise, not because the technician decided to do this but because he decided to use Wheatly. They should have used Personality Core 1 because he was the “space” core out of the bunch. All in all, everyone be on the lookout on Friday for the resupply craft and have fun with portals!

Ubisoft today announced that they will have a season pass for Assassin’s Creed III and that the game will be following the trend of getting a season pass for all of the future DLC that will be later announced for the game. This came as no surprise due to all of the rumors and photos of the season pass being up for pre-order on the Playstation Network and how Ubisoft also sent out a little scroll press releases to Gamestop’s across the country to help them get ready to start allowing pre-orders on the season pass.

During the official announcement made by Ubisoft today regarding the season pass, they also said that they have a whole developer team dedicated to the DLC for Assassin’s Creed III post release. This just means that we can expect loads of post content for the game!

New Beck Songs to Featured in Sound Shapes

New Beck Songs to Featured in Sound Shapes

Whatever happened to music rhythm games? With the “indefinite hiatus” of both the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series, music rhythm games have been few and far between in local video game stores.

However every now and then, a brand new music rhythm game pops its head up – and Sound Shapes is just that game.

Exclusive to Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita, Sound Shapes is a brand new video game and collaboration from Alternative rocker Beck and Pyramid Attack (Jonathan Mak and Shaw-Han Liem), developed by Queasy Games.

Beck himself has written three brand new songs for the game: Cities, Touch the People and Spiral Staircase. The song Cities features in the game’s trailer below.

The game itself is part side-scrolling platformer and part music rhythm, which fuses music and artwork into the game’s unique campaign. User-generated levels can also be created by keen eyed and keen eared players.

Sound Shapes is set to be released exclusively for Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita on August 7.
