Cliff Bleszinski calls Persson crazy for his suggestions on Psychonauts 2, Persson defends himself

Now this is really interesting. Earlier this week, Markus Persson suggested Double Fine to self fund a sequel to Psychonauts by doing more crowd funding. No, that’s incorrect. Markus said that he’d do exactly that if he was in Tim Schafer’s shoes, so… well… yeah, he suggested that. Anyway, a lot of the press covered it and thought that Markus suggested Double Fine to start a Kickstarter for Psychonauts 2. I mean, that’s one way of how the crowd can fund a game, right? Which is fine by us but it seems that Cliff Bleszinski was annoyed by all this thing. Continue reading Cliff Bleszinski calls Persson crazy for his suggestions on Psychonauts 2, Persson defends himself

Transformers: Fall of Cybetron won’t be coming to the PC; outside of High Moon’s area of expertise

You know what, this is bullcrap. There, I said. High Moon has just revealed that they will not port ‘Fall of Cybetron’ to the PC, because the PC is outside of High Moon Games’ area of expertise and as a result of that, they won’t be bothered with porting it. And you know why I say that this is bullcrap? Because ‘War for Cybetron’ was a good port. Yeah, it didn’t have as many graphical options and there was this awful 30fps lock but otherwise, it was stable and ran great to a lot of PC configurations. It just needed a little bit love. Just that extra touch and nothing more. Continue reading Transformers: Fall of Cybetron won’t be coming to the PC; outside of High Moon’s area of expertise

Enjoy the teaser after the jump and stay tuned for more! Continue reading Day 1 Studios hints to a new MechAssault title
