 Can Magazine have been sent what is claimed to be the logo for the upcoming Doom Movie. It looks similar in many ways to the logo for Doom 3, and Universal Pictures haven't commented, so it should be taken with a grain of salt: Obviously this logo for the upcoming movie Doom is not official, so it could have just been taken from the video game. However, I would expect something like this as the finalized logo, but maybe with a few shots from the film blended in. For now, lets just assume that this might be the logo for the movie, and wait it out till we here any more info on the post.

 Shacknews has collected together all of SCE chief Ken Kutaragi's recent quotes into one handy feature called "The Kraziness of Ken Kutaragi".His every utterance recently has made headlines, either because it was incredible "PS3 is not a game machine" or because of his new fondness for putting the boot into Microsoft "Xbox 360 is more of an Xbox 1.5 than a next generation console": Although much of his notoriety comes from his accomplishments, including his trailblazing work on LCD projectors and digital cameras, lately the venerable leader has been garnering press for his off-the-wall remarks. His image has been slowly turning from a videogame luminary to a boisterous loudmouth. What's happened? Why, suddenly, has everything that Kutaragi says immediately undergoes scrutiny and then ridicule on gaming forums across the ‘net?

 1UP.com have posted screenshots, video and a new preview for We Love Katamari, the sequel to the bizarre (but by all accounts excellent) Katamari Damacy.The sequel was released in Japan yesterday, with a U.S. release due for later in the year. 1UP give the game high marks, revealing the game is much larger than its predecessor and every stage in the game can now be completed either solo or by two players together. They also say that the gameplay and plot contain many similarities to Katamari Damacy: Without question, the new game is its father's son -- very literally so, in fact. (The narrative that appears between stages details the tough-love story of the fruity King Of All Cosmos and his childhood struggles to win the acceptance of his own stern and cold-hearted dad.) More to the point, the gameplay itself is largely unchanged from last year's surprise hit. The control scheme is exactly the same, and the fundamental concept of rolling things into a giant katamari ball within a certain time limit remains intact as well.

 Following recent server problems, EA is expected to announce a workaround for the recent server issues that have plagued BF2 fans, already disappointed by the exclusion of popular graphics cards from the online shooter.The problem lies in the recent patch released by EA. There seems to be a memory leak, which in some cases causes servers to reboot. The good news is that EA has been able to reproduce the error - they hadn't seen it previously. However, outside the EA headquarters not a single EA partner has seen a server that runs without memory problems since the patch. It also turns out that Linux servers leak as much memory as the Windows servers do. There is hope that EA will be releasing a workaround, instead of asking players to reinstall the game (man, that would suck). According to Boomtown.net, EA will be making a statement at 12.00 PST/21.00 GMT+1 about what they are going to do about the problems.Some option include: 1) Complete rollback to the previous version 1.0, however all users running version 1.01 are a big issue. EA doesn't know whether the patch can be rolled back. Maybe the game has to be re-installed...

 In the latest issue of Japanese games mag Famitsu, some good news for retro Sega gamers. According to the article, a new wave of classic SEGA titles will be finding a new home on the PS2.Some notable titles include jet packing, key collecting platformer Quartet on the Master System, Space Harrier 2 on the Megadrive, and Panzer Dragoon on the Saturn, which will feature upgraded graphics. Also mentioned is something called Dynamite Detective, which over here in the West was called Die Hard Arcade (on the Saturn). It's not clear how many of these games will be included together on one disc, or how they will be grouped. By far the most exciting news, though, is that of something called the Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, a selection of games from twitch gameplay maestro developers Treasure, originally published by SEGA on the Megadrive. Naturally, it includes Gunstar Heroes, the platform/side scrolling shooter in which you must save your home planet of Gunstar-9. Heroes has it all, beautiful, busy graphics, pump-up music and sublime, hectic gameplay. Also included in this collection are Alien Soldier, another space platform/shooter, and Dynamite Headdy, a rather surreal platformer in which your character has access to a number of detachable and interchangeable heads according to his need.

 Well, in a nice way that is. Jeff Minter of LlamaSoft has created a piece of software he calls 'Neon'. Neon is a visualization tool that will allow user to interact and tweak the on screen visualizations in real-time. Users can also hook their ipods or other music devices to drive and direct the program's actions.Typically in the kind of work I'll be doing, you want a lot of computational power available for generating effects and meshes procedurally in real-time, and the X360 delivers a lot of grunt in that area," Minter told The Guardian on the power of the new hardware. "We were working with the alpha hardware and still managed to achieve staggering performance with just that, and the alpha kits probably operate at only about 30 per cent of the capacity of the final hardware.

 It seems that violent games just can't catch a break lately. If it's not a politician lashing out, there's always somebody else to hold the baton. This time around, California assemblyman Leland Yee has hit out not only at violent games, but one title in particular, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The politician and child psychologist launched a verbal assault at the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), for "failing to appropriately rate" Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with an AO for Adults Only rating.Yee then brought up the reported recent discovery of sex minigames hidden in the game's code that can be unlocked by a third-party mod. These hidden games have yet to be confirmed by Rockstar who as of yet have no comment on the matter. "Once again, ESRB has failed our parents," Yee said in a statement. "Plain and simple, parents cannot trust the ESRB to rate games appropriately or the industry to look out for our children's best interests." The ESRB was created by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the preeminent game-industry lobby and organizers of the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

 Following on the recent disclosure that they have acquired a new licensing deal with Epic Games, VU president Phil O'Neil has revealed an impressive line-up of titles planned. Talking with gamesindustry.biz, the publishing giant is planning sequels to both the upcoming 50 Cent game and the Scarface game. O'Neil actually hopes for a Scarface 2, 3 and even 4!"It's actually an ability to create a franchise," the president said noting that the Fiddy game is not based on an 'IP' in the traditional sense, "and that's probably the big determination which is the ability to take an IP and make it into a franchise as opposed to a one-off. So we're hopeful that candidly, both Scarface and 50, while not 'original' IP, become sustainable franchise brands for us." We couldn't agree more (ahem).

 As was expected yesterday, EA has released the first patch for Battlefield 2. The update is an answer to several issues reported by the BF2 community.The patch itself (v1.01) includes updates to the multiplayer browser that adds functionality and buttons to make finding an open game easier. Also addressed is a problem in which 'users have encountered involving zero ping servers or browser hangs', according to EA. The BF2 Update v1.01 also fixes an issue that made some game controls unavailable to be rebound within the options menu, in addition to fixing a crash issued users experienced when rebinding the left mouse button to commands.

 According to an article over on the Inquirer, it cost ATI roughly 8 million dollars in total for the Half Life 2 deal with Valve. The deal saw them promote their line of 9600 and 9800 XT cards, along with their X800 line. It also saw ATI's logo on the game itself. ATI never sold so many cards than when they bundled the Half Life 2 voucher with them. Of course, people buying the cards were (myself included) in no way aware of the fact that Valve completely botched the release date and planning of the follow-up to 1998's classic shooter Half Life. ATI gave Valve $2.4 million for the deal, along with investing $1.2 million in marketing the game. Finally, $4.4 million was spent by ATI and its partners on bundling the game with their cards. ATI actually benefited from HL2 being late. People were just buying and buying ATI cards because of the voucher and just to get the free game. So it was a win-win rather than a whinge-whinge deal for ATI, which recouped the money back from end users. cs_assault launched with new terrorist models Lombardi: Folks will be quite pleased with DoD: Source New DoD: Source Gameplay Trailers Valve Unveil Developer Community Site (29 June) Doug Lombardi talks Steam (29 June) Valve: Getting Closer To HL2: Lost Coast Release (27 June) Doug Lombardi Interview, DoD Source development still unclear DoD: Source News Update & HL1: Deathmatch Source Revamp DoD: Source Screenshots Collection Half Life 2: Lost Coast HDR overview Eurogamer: Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast preview Discussion >> By Gary

 Judging from the screenshots (check out the latest 10 screens here), Prince of Persia 3: Kindred Blades will be the darkest game in the series to date. Like before, the game blends classic action-adventure elements with mind-boggling swordfights that are unique both in their ferocity and their breakneck speed. As a side-effect from controlling the powerful Sands of Time, the player will take on the role of the prince's sinister twin, the Dark Prince, who has a different attitude, history, and combat style.

 Following Doug Lombardi's announcement that games from other developers delivered via Steam would be revealed over the coming weeks, Ritual have confirmed the sequel to the 1998 shooter SiN will see a Winter release on the platform. The latest issue of PC Gamer has an exclusive feature on the game, entitled SiN Episodes, and reveals the individual episodes will be released every three to four months at a price of around $20 each. The collaboration between Valve and Ritual seems a little strange, since the original SiN game was billed as a "Half-Life killer" when it was released in 1998. It also included digs at Valve, including one section that warned the player "Do Not Play With Valve"; twisting the valve the warning displayed on resulted in an explosion and major damage to the player. The two companies appear to have made up their differences though, with SiN Episodes even utilizing a modified version of the Source engine. Ritual CEO Steve Nix also said: We've been talking to Valve about Steam for about four years now, and we've always wanted to get back to the SiN universe.

 It seems graphics card giant Nvidia are finally leaving AGP slots in the backyard to rust. Their latest card, the 7800 series of GPU will not be manufactured in an AGP form, instead the company is going full throttle with PCI-E from here on in. Their last GPU, the 6800 and 6600 line of cards included an AGP selection but this time around they are not going to release a new product the old fashioned way, so all you AGP motherboard owners eyeing up the new 7800 cards had better look deep into your wallets for a new motherboard. This comes as something of a surprise to us as we know that ATI will release an AGP version of R520 once it's ready. Bear in mind that ATI sill has to release PCIe version but once it has R520 PCIe it won't be a rocket science to bridge this chip to AGP with its Rialto bridge to Babylon chip.

 Another games-related act of violence reported today as an eleven year old boy was playing THQ's The Incredibles for the PS2, he became frustrated with losing in the game, that coupled with the fact that his baby nephew was crying in the other room was enough to make the boy go over the edge. The eleven year old boy stabbed the infant in the stomach with a kitchen knife. The baby's father was asleep as their mother was out with friends while the disturbing incident took place.Fortunately, the baby survived the ordeal, the mother returned home to find her son bleeding. The baby underwent emergency surgery and spent six days in hospital, and has since been reconciled with his eleven year old attacker. "I paused the PlayStation. I went to the kitchen and collected the knife. Without realising it, I stabbed him," the boy said. "I have done something awful.

Unfortunately for gamers, Microsoft and Nintendo have declined to follow Sony's example of slashing their budget game prices. Yesterday Sony announced that the price of Platinum PS2 games would be cut to £14.99 with immediate effect in the U.K. The price cuts are thought to be part of a new initiative that will be eventually rolled out to other territories, according to Eurogamer. But Microsoft and Nintendo have both said they have no plans to reduce the pricing of the Xbox Classics and GameCube Player's Choice ranges. Eurogamer offers a bit of hope though that the rivals may be forced into action by Sony's move: But Sony's initiative will inevitably force its two console rivals to fall in line sooner rather than later. With price pressure on full price titles forcing the high street to adopt aggressive tactics, older titles are looking disproportionately expensive. A lower trade price across the board would undoubtedly spur demand for budget priced games, and similarly put pressure on the second hand market - an area many high street retailers such as Game have done well out of in recent years.

 It has emerged that Microsoft have shipped out beta versions of the development hardware for the Xbox 360 to developers. The versions being shipped out are said to be much more advanced than the Alpha systems used to demo games at the E3, which were based on Apple Powermac G5's.The beta kits are still not as powerful as the final version of the Xbox 360 will be, but are still far more powerful than the E3 systems, which it was claimed only represented 25-30 percent of the eventual power of the console: The Beta kits - the PowerMac based systems were designated Alpha kits - have a processor and graphics chipset configuration much closer to the final hardware that will appear in Xbox 360.

 The rumoured major Xbox 360 event in Japan this month has been announced, and Xbox Japan boss Yoshihiro Maruyama has revealed the show will be a "product unveiling on the scale of E3."Named the Xbox Summit 2005, it will take place on the 25th of July and the Japanese Xbox 360 lineup is expected to be officially unveiled. Among the titles may be "some major surprises", Microsoft have hinted in previous interviews with the Japanese press. The final details on the Asian launch of the 360 are also expected to be announced at the event. Microsoft have aimed their big guns at the Japanese market this time around; in that market the original Xbox plays third fiddle behind the dominant Playstation 2 and Nintendo GameCube, but the U.S. software giant has since declared it intends to win the next-gen console race in Japan.

 Videogameslife.com is reporting that a silver version of the Sony PSP might be planned for the near future. Apparently the silver PSP appeared on some recent Japanese trade price listings, though it didn't include a release date or price:No price or date has been mentioned and Sony has yet to officially announce anything, although reading between the lines, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the Japanese hardware giant is planning such an action – with the DS now boasting a healthy lead over the PSP in Japan, releasing a special edition PSP could be just the ticket to get the machine back on track, given the past successes of special edition consoles such as the Dreamcast and PS2 over there.

A man has reportedly beaten one of his infant sons to death in a fit of gaming rage. The infant's mother told of the ordeal as she came home to find her four month old son Byron dead underneath her boyfriend. The killer, James Tuffs apparently did not like being disturbed while playing his Nintendo GameCube as he would lose his temper. James was lying on him. I started shaking and screaming at him to move. He got up and picked up Byron. I said 'Oh my God you've killed my baby. said the distraught mother as she spoke of her ordeal.Byron had a fractured skull and two fractured ribs. His brother Tyrese - who was sleeping on the floor - had fractures to his skull, ribs arm and legs. Dad Tuffs, 21, denies manslaughter and cruelty.

 Sony computer Entertainment has confirmed that the price of Platinum PS2 games is set to be slashed. Coming into effect right away, the new move will see stores flogging off the entire Platinum range for approximately a third less than previously, some as low as £14.99 or less.This means consumers will be set up for a nice summer of budget gaming on the PS2. One senior retailer told Eurogamer this morning: "Whereas you used to see two for thirty pound offers, two for twenty will become the norm very soon. Individually, you'll see the range going for about £14.99, and some stores may even decide to discount to £9.99." "What they both need to do first is realizeise that their trade price of new titles needs to come down to reflect the selling price of £29.99!" Ireland added.

 Sony Computer Entertainment America boss Kaz Hirai has spoken to US magazine EGM, in which he discussed features of the PS3. Hirai talked about users being able to browse the web via the next-gen console but also stressing that online is only one part of the firm's overall strategy.Hirai said with the advent of HDTV displays, web browsing on a console device is practical, adding; there's really no reason why we or some other software publisher can't come out with a web browser. According to Hirai, it will also be possible to plug a standard USB keyboard into the USB ports on the PS3, and the decision on whether or not to ship the PS3 with a web browser was purely based on consumer demand for the service.He also went on to discuss the downloading of content and games, saying that the technology was there for the PS2 but not the infrastructure. Microsoft got their regular wooden spooning as Hirai attacked their online strategy, saying they are putting all their eggs in the one basket with the XBox Live service. "When we talked about PS2 back in '99, I believe, it was obviously the technology we had," he said. "The other half is obviously the infrastructure - unfortunately, we don't control it. And I think that the broadband networks, the adoption of broadband and hopefully, you know, faster broadband, is something that consumers are going to adopt very quickly."

 Further concerns about Microsoft's plans to stick with regular DVDs for it's next-gen Xbox 360 have been raised. Team Ninja chief Tomonobu Itagaki has expressed his 'anxiety' over the use of standard sized DVDs in the new Xbox, saying that it will very much limit developers abilities to fit high-definition pre-rendered sequences onto the 9Gb disks.The screen resolution for Xbox 360 games will be in high definition, so the prerendered movies are going to be pretty large. A machine that doesn't run according to its promised CPU frequency is out of the question. Sony will be using Blue-Ray disks for their Playstation 3, with a storage capacity of 50Gb. Quite a blow to Micrsoft, certainly in the short-term. Gates has hinted at featuring HD-DVD (disks with a capacity of 30Gb) in future versions of the Xbox 360 but it will launch with standard DVDs.Read on Related: PS3/Xbox360/PSP/DS Compatibility Rumours Swirl Gamespot Rumor Control: PS3/360/DS/PSP connectivity No harddrive for PS3 upon launch?

 A new flurry of next-gen rumour has hit the Web, this time concerning exactly what devices the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will be able to connect to. First up, Spong.com report on an official PS3 slide displayed at the ELSPA summit that showed various devices linked to the console that would be in some way compatible with it - included on the slide was the Xbox 360: In some way, Sony is planning on making the PlayStation 3 ‘talk’ to the 360, though exactly what they are planning wasn’t explained.” As unlikely as it seems that MS would get permission from their fierce rivals to piggy-back on their handheld systems (Microsoft is the only one of the three to not have released a handheld), the site also claims that Microsoft may have actually approached Sony and Nintendo about it: Users of the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the Nintendo DS will thus be able to connect their machines with the Xbox 360 and play Microsoft's games over the Internet, Microsoft officials said.

 1UP.com have tracked down the creator of the hoax Nintendo ON video. The video appeared on the Web before the E3 in May and was so impressive that many fans believed it was a genuine marketing video for the then unrevealed Nintendo Revolution.23 year old art student Pablo Belmonte created the video in a marathon 5 day stint that left him drained and ultimately sick in bed from the effort: But why spend all that time to create something so elaborately fake? The answer is surprisingly simple: attention. He wanted an outlet to prove his talents to the rest of the world, and the upcoming Revolution announcement offered the perfect opportunity.

An interesting write-up over on the guardian blog examines the new shift in gaming on next-gen consoles, in particular the focus on bringing the mainly PC based MMORPG populous to the new consoles. It has to be argued that it does indeed represent a great risk in trying to bring the MMORPG market to console players, who in the past seemed quite content with less "thinking" titles and more mindless action games. Of course it is hard to ignore such a large audience and if the shift can be pulled off successfully, the revenue potential is quite enormous. It's a pretty huge move, pushing an arguably niche genre to the mass market at great expense and at great risk. While the move is not without precedent, I agree with this GamePro article which argues that MMOGs are only for the hardcore. You have to be a pretty dedicated gamer to get through some of the nonsense that results in an ultimately rewarding interactive experience, whether it's in Final Fantasy XI on your console, or Star Wars Galaxies on your PC. That's not to say that there aren't exceptions to the rules. World of Warcraft has managed to get 2 million people worldwide to log on and stay on (and pay up monthly) which says something about its design, its accessibility, and the good feelings players achieve through interacting with one another and the gameplay objectives in the virtual world. The Sims Online managed to get a huge female population playing (before waning monumentally), which is a testament to its accessibility. There are over 1600 active virtual worlds out there. Some of them seem to be doing something right. No Revolution 'til after PS3? Revolution To Be Much Cheaper than Xbox 360, PS3 Nintendo's E3 Interactive Floor Display No harddrive for PS3 upon launch?

 Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has recently said that the Revolution console may be the last to launch. Iwata disclosed the information at a Nintendo's shareholders meeting where he announced the Revolution may fall behind Sony and Microsoft.In the midst of a question-and-answer session, concerned stockholders asked the Nintendo heavy weight if their next-gen Revolution had the potential to lag behind PS3 and Xbox 360 in the next-gen console wars, to this Iwata replied: There is no possibility that the Revolution's launch will fall behind by too much, but there might be some small changes [in its release schedule]. In an effort to quell investors' fears, Iwata assured the crowd that Nintendo is prepared for the next-generation console war with a "long-term plan on what kinds of titles will be released at what stage" for the Revolution. The company has announced a number of first-party games for the machine, including new installments in its Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Smash Bros., Metroid, and Donkey Kong franchises.

Halflife2.net: When Day of Defeat: Source approached beta and screenshots and movies started getting out into the internet, a lot of feedback I've seen suggests that some people aren't happy with the way that the Source engine doesn't seem to be using its full potential in this game.
