Capcom cleared the air today on some mistaken notions about a few UK
release dates that have been floating around. Specifically, those of Street Fighter IV (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) and Bionic Commando. Unfortunately, the dates were apparently just a list of retail guides rather than actual game launch dates. |

Can you picture Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) getting the blood and gore content cut down in an effort to give it a lower age rating from regulating bodies? The developers can't. They say gore will always be a part of the series and they won't compromise it for bigger sales potential. More in the full article. |

It's a different take of what Rockstar's founder actually did say in an interview as one of MCV Entertainment's exclusive feature, but it's factually accurate. Sam Houser, who many claim to be the driving force behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, was executive producer of Grand Theft Auto 3. That game became the direction of the subsequent iterations of the sandbox game later on. He says that powerful people have been out to put Rockstar out of business, and they're quite plenty. |

British Board of Film Classification

The British Board of Film Classification will be reviewing its guidelines for games classification next year as part of a review of all the BBFC's guidelines. This was revealed by BBFC senior examiner Gianni Zamo in an interview with MCV UK.Additionally, Zamo explained that the more realistic graphics found in today's games don't necessarily pose additional problems for the BBFC. The same goes for motion-sensing controllers. Context is one of the big factors in classifying a game, but it's not without its problems. Said Zamo: Many game narratives are often fractured and detached from the interactive element of the game, making it difficult to see them as a whole, coherent piece. Trying to understand the context of a 40 plus hour game (even with a storyline) is very different from understanding a 90 minute movie. |

Online site MCV UK recently had a chat with Microsoft Senior Regional Director for Northern Europe Neil Thompson regarding their company's marketing plans for this coming holiday season.With the release of Halo 3 and other high-profile titles coming up, the Xbox 360 is in a good position to run away with the lion's share of the market this Christmas. Thompson shared that Microsoft will be spending tens of millions of dollars in marketing alone just to entice costumers to pick its console and software products over the competition. The official said: It's the most expensive time of year to spend money. It is pivotal, we have heavyweight activity and you will see Xbox 360 very clearly above the line. We're working very hard with retailers to ensure we do a great job in-store and out of store. It will be a big 360 Christmas out there this year. Neil Thompson then shared that despite having an early lead over Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft can't be too confident and that they have to keep on finding ways to widen their consumer base. Aside from keeping the core gamers happy, the senior director said as well that they have to create content for the mass audience. "We definitely want to work with people beyond the gaming arena. There's definitely a space between gaming and movies that there is a lot of energy around. It's just finding the balance between bringing the joys of gaming and the emotion and connections from the audience you get with a film," commented Thompson. |
