All about Japan’s Anti-Violence Game Rating System
Posted by Encroyable.com | Wii | Posted on March 10th, 2010
In Japan, the equivalent of the ESRB is the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO), the industry outfit responsible for giving content ratings to every console game released in the country. CERO rates based on a scale of five letters: A (all ages), B (ages 12 and up), C (ages 15 and up), D (ages 17 and up), and Z (ages 18 and up only ). That “only” attached to the Z rating has been the source of consternation for many a gamer in Japan. Unlike the ESRB’s “Adults Only” rating, CERO’s Z seems to be applied almost exclusively based on violence standards — if there’s too much blood, you’re out. What’s worse, while a Z on the box isn’t as bad as an AO rating in America (or being refused classification at all in Australia, effectively banning it from shelves), it essentially means that the game cannot be advertised in any public manner within Japan. The situation came to a head recently when Sony’s God of War III was given a Z, even though the first two games both got D ratings in Japan. Game-store owners were, to say the least, miffed. “[The Z rating] basically means I can engage in no practical advertising,” one Tokyo-based store owner blogged last month. “There are no TV ads, no videos playing in the store. The best I can do is put up posters and flyers, but no matter how great the game is, you can’t show what makes it fun with still images. Capcom [the publisher of GOW 1 and 2 in Japan] spent all this time building up the brand, and now it’s all ruined!”

Analyst Says PS3 Will Outsell Wii by 2013
Posted by Encroyable.com | Wii | Posted on March 9th, 2010
For the longest time, since before their console was even released, Sony was quick to point out this generation of “console wars” would be a marathon — with the PlayStation 3 the slow-and-steady tortoise that would eventually outlast their seemingly speedier competition. Now, it looks like they’re starting to convince some industry experts that may be the case: MCV reports that StrategyAnalytics analyst David Mercer predicts the PS3 will outsell the Wii by 2013. Mercer spelled out his reasoning in a blog post ahead of the release of the company’s Global Video Game Market Forecast next week. “The signs are that the Wii has peaked in terms of console sales, and its installed base will begin to decline after 2011,” Mercer wrote. “Meanwhile, Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 will continue to grow, so that the PS3 will become the largest platform globally by 2013. In terms of cumulative lifetime sales we expect the PS3 to hit 127m units, compared to 103m Wiis.” Naturally, like any good analyst, Mercer also left himself room for error: “Uncertainties clearly surround each of the major platforms, particularly relating to the new services and upgrades planned by Sony and Microsoft. Natal on the Xbox could be more beneficial to 360 sales than expected, and Sony’s own motion controller, together with its plans to upgrade all PS3s to 3D capability, also represent potential for upside to our core forecasts.”

Moving beyond the tabloid fodder of the past several months, Electronic Arts has a series to market. EA Sports has started spinning up the hype machine for Tiger Woods 11 , announcing that will feature support for the PS3 Motion Controller as well as the inclusion of the Ryder Cup. As was the case with the Wii MotionPlus-enabled Tigers Woods 10, this year’s PS3 edition is aiming for “an authentic interactive swing experience.” The Wii version will continue to support MotionPlus, and will also be adding an “Advanced Plus” swing difficulty that reads rotation and swing able. There’s also the “Tour Pro” swing mechanic, which focuses on rotation, swing plane and point of contact, and a new first-person view The Ryder Cup feature pits the best American and European golfers in the world against one another. To promote the feature, European captain Rory McIlroy will be appearing on the cover alongside Tiger Woods. It will allow for up to 24 players to compete head-to-head as members of either team.

Lady Gaga Tracks to Infiltrate Rock Band Next Week
Posted by Encroyable.com | Wii | Posted on March 9th, 2010
Steel yourselves, plastic guitar aficionados, for all is proceeding exactly as the vulgar prophet Eric Cartman foretold nearly six months ago — relentless hordes of Lady Gaga DLC loom over Rock Band ’s horizon. A four-pack of tracks from the flamboyant pop star will besiege the Xbox 360 and Wii next Tuesday, March 16. PlayStation 3 users have a bit more time to prepare, as the DLC isn’t projected to hit the PlayStation Store until that Thursday, March 18. Miss Gaga’s not alone, however. Just in time for season 14 of South Park , Cartman’s cover version of Lady Gaga’s own “Poker Face” also marches onto the Rock Band DLC scene next week — a deft counter-maneuver that just might turn the tide on this thing after all. Each track will go for the individual price of $1.99 (160 Microsoft points; 200 Wii Points), with the quartet of Lady Gaga downloads priced at $6.99 (560 Microsoft points). Get the women and children to safety, and then educate yourself on the coming Gagapocalypse below: “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga “Monster” by Lady Gaga “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga “Poker Face” by Eric Cartman

Producer Thinks it’s "Unlikely" WoW Will Ever Come to Consoles
Posted by Encroyable.com | Wii | Posted on March 8th, 2010
As they’ve established previously, Blizzard isn’t anti-console and plans on making another console game — eventually. World of Warcraft might seem like the natural choice for what game to bring to consoles, given its incredible success, and as producer J. Allen Brack told G4tv , it’s certainly something that Blizzard thinks about often. Asked why MMOs haven’t made much of an impact on consoles, Brack explained, “I think there’s a lot of reasons. There’s not one thing. One is, it takes a long time to develop an MMO. The lifecycle of consoles being what they are, you have to really time when your console’s going to come out, what its projected lifecycle is going to be with when your game is going to be, which is challenging.” Brack went on to outline the technical challenges of bringing World of Warcraft to consoles, which include the game’s current 15GB size and the issue of releasing patches on a platform that’s controlled by Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo. He added, “[A]nd then specifically in the case of WoW, WoW was designed to be a keyboard game and its control scheme and its camera controls and the number of abilities that you have and the spells and how things work are very keyboard-centric. The idea of translating that to a gamepad is a very, very challenging proposition.”
