Prey 2 is NOT cancelled.

The world wide web loves a excellent rumor, but (thankfully) Bethesda has come out and squashed at least 1 of them. Bethesda made a post on their weblog right now stating that even though Prey two has been delayed, it absolutely hasn’t been cancelled. According to Bethesda the purpose for the delay is that the improvement for Prey two hasn’t “progressed satisfactorily” and does not meet their present top quality standards. Bethesda says they have created a significant investment in the improvement of Prey two and will not sacrifice top quality to meet the release schedule. As a fan I’m totally OK with that.

Madden Ultimate Team Getting Rookies on Draft Day; Transferable to Madden NFL 13

EA Sports has announced that 30 rookies from this month’s NFL Draft will be added to Madden Ultimate Team mode in Madden NFL 12 starting on the 26th. In addition to those 30 there will be 6 dubbed as “Future Stars” who will have a second card but with ratings based off envisioning their “career year” down the line. The common rookie cards will include ratings that will most likely be extremely comparable, or potentially identical, to those they’ll debut with in Madden NFL 13.
It is definitely surprising that incoming rookies will make an appearance in the earlier year’s game even through MUT. Any rookie cards that are pulled will also transfer over to the mode for Madden NFL 13. Check out the complete blog with additional details right here.
Sal’s Blog: I’m at PAX East

I’m at the moment sitting at a desk inside the lobby of the Westin Boston Hotel, across from the convention center where in two hours, the second day of the eastern Penny Arcade Expo will be underway.
That said, I’m much also snug and comfy to go outside and take a image of the building myself. The photo you see on the right there is from Boston.com. Leave me alone, I’m not moving.
As I sit, I’m seeing gamers big and small, epic beard and 5 o’ clock shadows alike, circle back and forth. Outside the convention center is a enormous entry line. Much larger than I bear in mind it getting last year, I’m positive.
I came right here for two days final year. I thought our coverage was ‘meh.’ Sometimes I set out to bring the website one thing fantastic, and end up failing miserably. I apologize for that. I also had Matt with me final year. This year, I’m here alone, for one particular day. Easter is tomorrow and I’ll be going to check out my loved ones to celebrate the occasion. I leave Boston tonight, even even though I only just arrived at four:45am this morning. And what a terrible morning it was.
The strategy was to arrive, head to the Dunkin Donuts across from the South Station bus terminal, get some breakfast, and put the rest of what I needed to together. Instead, I was greeted to wind chills (I was super cold for some cause – I do not think it was as cold as I’d believed it was) and a Dunkin Donuts that opened at 7am. 7am! I’d forgotten I wasn’t in New York. Retailers aren’t open 24-hours right here.

More hybrid packs from Namco Bandai.

Back in February, Namco Bandai teased it was creating a game based off the Eureka Seven AO anime. It resurfaced in Famitsu this week, throughout an interview with Namco Bandai vice president Shin Unozawa, as a hybrid pack, which combines a movie and a game, for PlayStation three.
Also confirmed is a hybrid pack for the anime Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne.
Namco Bandai lately announced hybrid packs for .hack and Macross. In the past, it’s put out hybrid packs for Tekken and Macross.
Particulars on the new packs have however to surface.
‘Super Meat Boy’ To Be Super, Meaty, Remade on iOS
Super Meat Boy Bloody Chef Launch Trailer
Not happy to have their chunky, devious platformer entertain and frustrate in equal measures on the Computer, XBLA, and Wiiware, Team Meat are taking the other SMB to IOS in what they promise will not be a “s****y” port of their award-winning game.
The announcement came over the weekend on the indie developer’s blog. Designer Edmund McMillen explained that Team Meat wanted to get the game onto phones for a while, but didn’t want to sacrifice the precision controls of the original. So they decided to chuck the idea of a straight port and have opted for a full-on remake as an alternative.
The screen above represents your 1st look at the new game, but McMillen says Team Meat is nonetheless quite early in the method of building it out. Reiterating that this will not be a port, McMillen explained that Super Meat Boy on iOS would not use the typically challenging-to-use virtual controls discovered in several touch platformers (despite the fact that he did not elaborate on what would be used instead). He also explained that the remake would contain all-new art and music (and hopefully tons of new guest characters).
No word on when we can count on i-Super Meat Boy, but we’ll hold an eye out for updates as they turn into obtainable.
