Ubisoft reveals “Bloody Good Time”

Ubisoft teased a few months ago its “Bloody Good Time” game, but no one really knew what it was. We do now, and we can tell you that it’s a downloadable shooter for the PC and Xbox 360, which will use Valve’s Source engine. The game is a cartoonish looking multiplayer FPS where 8 players fight it out on a movie set to decide who’s gonna get the starring role in a horror film. The game will be released later this Fall.

Red Dead Redemption ships 7 million

More good news in for Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar’s Western shooter has now shipped 7 million units — or 6.9 million to be precise. Publisher Take Two has stated that the title would need to sell at least 5 million copies in order to make a profit. That now seems like a very good possibility. By the end of the year, Red Dead Redemption should go on to reach 8 million in sales, especially considering that a “game of the year” edition is expected later this year. Not to mention the DLC that has already been released.

MAG offers extra character slots for $1/month

In MAG, players can only have one character slot, meaning what ever character they chose and create, they’re stuck with. Now Sony is offering those who want a bit more, an extra character slot for $1 a month — not a huge sum to pay, but it still seems odd, considering that it should already be possible to have more than just one character, especially in multiplayer-only games. At any rate, it’s just $1.

Sony adding 3D support to PS3 Blu-ray in October

The PS3 can already play 3D games, movies, no so much. Sony has announced that the upcoming October update will finally add support for 3D Blu-ray movies. The feature was supposed to be released this month, but has been pushed back after it needed some more work. The wait isn’t that bad, as the selection of 3D movies on Blu-ray is very limited at the moment.

This time, the D-pad can be raised and lowered by twisting it, and the controller will be available on Nov 9 for $65, but it does include a play and charge kit as well. Here’s a video of Larry Hryb of Xbox Live explaining the new controller:

Blizzard being patient on StarCraft movie

Like all game developers with an established franchise, Blizzard is looking to exploit StarCraft into a movie, the same way they’re doing with World of Warcraft. However, they’re not interested in working with anyone, and have turned down several offers, according to Blizzard’s Rob Pardo, who had this to say:

“We probably could have made a [StarCraft] movie or something on TV years and years ago, but it’s really important to us that we find creative people that are really talented but also really excited about our properties. That’s always been the challenge for us. I think if Jim Cameron came to us tomorrow and said, ‘You want to make a StarCraft movie?’ we’d probably sign that.”

To be honest, we’re not sure Mr. Cameron would be interested.
