Quantic Dream mocap studio & Heavy Rain
"I'm not starting with the story and trying to fit gameplay in," he insists, becoming animated, "because that would fail the same way. What I try to do is to think about the story and the gameplay together. At the moment that I have an idea for a scene, I try to think about the potential for gameplay in this scene. Or when I think I think about a nice gameplay mechanic, what's the potential for the story? I wrote many scenes that were deleted because they had a good idea for gameplay but not for story, or a good idea for story but not for gameplay. I need to have good ideas for both in every single scene."Heavy Rain Preview

Mirror's Edge is going to continue as an franchise
“Mirror’s Edge was very strongly reviewed - That one’s going to go forward. We’ll be looking at some issues around the design to make sure that strong IP is married with strong business.”Well, not exactly, with an average below 80% on Game Rankings. Although I would rank it higher than that of course, and this is really good news :)
EA to reduce roster weight, but Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, sports are all safe

Mirror's Edge time trial in Stockholm
Well, this was unexpected and quite enjoyable. Today, I've been in Stockholm to dine with my visiting parents. I arrived early at the central station, so I had time enough to stroll around for a bit, when I noticed they were just about to start a contest in Mirror's Edge.Of course I had to sign up!
I had absolutely no clue about what the challenge was going to be, and it turned out to be a time trial (which I've never played), on the level Playground One, which I've only passed by twice in the campaign mode and hadn't really any memory of its layout.
Fortunately, two people were ahead of me so I got the chance to see the map, and then I was announced to come up to the stage. "That was a really good time that last guy got, do you think you'll be able to beat it?", asked the commentator.
The guy before me had been there earlier that day for the same competition, and it looked like he was certain of his way through the map, so honestly I had no idea if I actually would beat him, even though I saw that his run was flawed. So I tried being humble with saying "Well, I actually got no idea, but it looks pretty hard".
It was a bit awkward using a PS3 controller, and you had to look at a angled TV on the floor, which was screwing up your perspective a bit, and I turned out to be soo nervous/excited that my legs were shaking while standing there. I managed to get a time of 01:02:something... approximately 30 seconds better than the guy before me.
There's a reason why I don't try being modest anymore when it coems to competing against others... I just end up being an sarcastic jackass if I beat them badly. So I was a bit embarrassed when walking off the stage, and when it turned out that no one even got a time close to the guy before me... which meant that I ended up winning :S
I won't say what the price was, since I'm intending to give it away as an Xmas present, but it was definitely worth it :)
Below is an attached video of the same route as I took, with someone that got around the same time I got, even though my delays were caused by stopping to look around for the way rather than failing jumps.

"The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is quickly shooting to the top of our list of most-anticipated titles of 2009.Chances are, that any screenshot you'll see from the new campaign was taken by me, like the above two :)
Playing Escape from Butcher Bay again, remade for the Xbox 360 is exciting in its own right, and the promise of new adventures, new multiplayer modes, new finishing moves and the lot is just a huge pile of icing on the cake."

Left4Dead SDK coming "shortly"
wilsonwiz asks: Have you any idea when the Source Development Kit will be released?Left 4 Dead live interview
Chet Faliszek: Shortly. I know we are working on it and want it out as soon as possible. I really think this is a game that brings back that urge to make maps like Doom did back in its day. You want to make your place of work and unleash the zombie apocalypse on it. When we release the SDK we will also be releasing tutorials for level makers, from newbies who have never used hammer to experienced mappers.
