L.A. Noire delay confirmed
Take-Two has just confirmed the delay of Team Bondi’s crime title L.A. Noire.
The game is now expected “during the first half of calendar 2011,” the publisher’s third quarter fiscal 2010 financial results say.
First Directly Captured NBA Elite 11 Gameplay
Over the weekend the first chance to see NBA Elite 11 in action arrived and the results weren’t pretty. That EA Sports has held back on releasing gameplay footage has been notable and allowing those recorded sessions to be the first opportunity to see the game has raised even more eyebrows. Now EA seemingly in response has released a directly captured gameplay video via Operation Sports featuring the Bucks @ Knicks that runs 5:35.
Keeping in mind that this is a carefully selected segment of gameplay, does it change your perception of NBA Elite 11 at all? At the very least the video brings in the element of audio with the new three man crew of Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson. Continue on to watch the video and as always leave your thoughts in the comments!
Apple boasts portable gaming leadership, launches Game Center for iPod Touch
Claiming leadership in the videogame industry is no easy feat (especially after joining it only two years ago), but Apple CEO Steve Jobs did anything but mince his words at the launch of the new iPod range today.
Speaking at Apple’s press conference in San Francisco, Jobs claimed the iPod Touch and iPhone range of devices has “50%+ the marketshare for portable game players in the U.S. and worldwide,” and boasted over 1.5 billion downloads of “games and entertainment titles” since the launch of the iTunes App Store. According to Jobs, this makes it “the number one portable game player” on the market.
Although it is debatable whether iOS is actually a viable videogame platform, Apple is making concerted effort to validate its position to serious gamers by announcing the multiplayer-centric Game Center for iPod Touch. The service works in a similar way to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, where players can connect with others across gaming sessions, buy DLC, earn achievements and check out leaderboard ranks.
Initially announced at the iPhone 4 press conference back in July, Game Center will be bundled with the new iOS 4.1; meaning that all iPods and iPhones capable of running the firmware update will support the service when it’s released next week.
The new iPod Touch will be available from next week starting at 9 (£189). The iOS 4.1 firmware update featuring the new Game Center app will be free for supported devices.

Fresh Black Ops multiplayer details revealed
Treyarch had a bit of an eventful evening; the developer announced a number of online play details about its latest entry to the Call of Duty series, this November’s Black Ops, and there were a few mighty interesting things revealed indeed.
First, the game will come with a “Combat Training” mode which allows players to play against AI foes, either alone or in 2-player co-op, which is quite nice for those itching to get in some target practice. In addition — and this is the main event — Black Ops introduces Wager Matches.
Wager Matches consist of four game modes — One in the Chamber, Sticks and Stones, Gun Game, Sharp Shooter — each explained in the appropriately titled ‘Wager Match’ trailer above; certainly worth laying eyes on.

NBA 2K11 My Player Adds Endorsements
Continuing with the My Player mode related announcements for NBA 2K11 this week is the addition of endorsements. So far this week 2K Sports has revealed press conferences and signature shoes and now comes the endorsements. “Become a star in My Player mode and you’ll get sponsorships from iconic brands. What sponsor would you most like to have? Jordan Brand? Gatorade? Sprite? 2K Sports???”
As I alluded to yesterday I think this particular aspect of off-the-court development being brought in can potentially take the mode to the next level. Again though it has to be engaging and dynamic. Other games have had career modes that have attempted these things unsuccessfully. What do you think about the addition of endorsements to My Player?
