Today

Square Enix is super embarrassed by Final Fantasy XIV and will fix it by making a different game.

Stories

  • Zynga's FarmVille will have a "political activism" feature built into the game where you campaign for the party of your choice.
  • Forza 4 will include a cameo by the Warthog from Halo 4. It is not playable because they couldn't figure out how to make the Warthog work in the very realistic physics of the game.
  • Uncharted 3 will have a 3D preview screening at AMC Theaters. And Sony has an actual good marketing idea for once.
  • EA announces a huge Battlefield tournament with a $1.6 million prize pool.
  • Final Fantasy XIV is being retooled from the ground up.
  • Paul has some basic suggestions for Square Enix on how to make the remake a "good" game.

Coming Up

The Deus Ex: Human Revolution DLC has a boss fight that doesn't suck. See what happens when you don't farm out your work?
