RePLAY: Microsoft says no new Xbox for 2012, Diablo III finally gets a release date and Capcom concedes that Resident Evil: Revelations spelling
error was ‘embarrassing.’
Microsoft today lent
credence to rumors that the next Xbox will be unveiled and launched in 2013
when a company spokesman spoke with Bloomberg today.
“There will be no talk
of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon,” David Dennis, a Microsoft
spokesman, told Bloomberg. “For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360.”
According to sources
close to Bloomberg, Microsoft plans on presenting the Xbox 360 successor in
June 2013 at E3 and released in the same year.

It took convincing the South Korean Game Rating Board, a system overhaul and removing PvP to get here,
but Blizzard finally announced a release date for Diablo III: May 15.
Players that pre-purchased
Diablo III either on Blizzard’s site
or via World of Warcraft’s annual
pass will be able to download an encrypted version of the game in advance that
will be unlocked on release.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson spoke to Game Informer about a variety
of topics from Resident Evil 6 to the
development process of Mega Man Legends 3
to the question on everyone’s mind: How does Capcom keep making spelling
mistakes like the infamous Resident Evil:
Revelations error?
“For Resident Evil:
Revelations, I can’t even tell you how many people looked at that package
and approved it,” said Svensson. “Nintendo of America, Nintendo Japan, ESRB, I
don’t know how many people internally, and our guys in Japan. I can’t come up
with an excuse for it. It just happened. We’re not happy about it.
“There are new processes that were put in place that involve
people outside the company,” he explained. “We’ve redefined who has final say
over packaging. I’m cautiously optimistic we won’t be seeing this happen again.
“It’s embarrassing. I can’t really sugarcoat it.”
Recently,
spelling errors were also found on the promotional box of Asura’s Wrath and ironically with Capcom’s own name at the end of
the Steel Battalion trailer.
