Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s reveal at the VGAs generated more
questions, rumors and misconceptions than hype and Kojima Productions has been
clearing house with new information on the title.
Most revealing was
that Metal Gear Rising was silently
canned because the development team felt that the original Rising as a game, where just anything can be sliced and diced, would
be insufficient. It reached a point where the staff had no idea what the game
should be and Kojima said the project would probably not be completed. The
staff disagreed but Rising was
ultimately cancelled.
Enter members of
Platinum Games, which happened to arrive at Kojima Productions studio one day. Platinum
Games learned about Rising’s fate,
found it unfortunate that it was half-done, and took over the project.
Hence, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was born.

The internet
conspirators are at it again— this time to prove the existence of the
ever-elusive and never announced Half-Life
3 within Valve’s Portal 2 VGA
video starring antagonist Wheatley.
After prying arcane
clues from the video, 4Chan wrote a letter to Valve co-founder Gabe Newell who
promptly responded, “I don’t suppose it would ease your wrath if I told you we’re
announcing all of your favorite things at E3 2012?” and added later that it
would have “something with a ‘three’ in it.”
And dialing up the
speculation is Valve’s “Doug Rattman” Twitter account coming back to life, Tweeting,
“It begins.” What follows is the Twitter feed spitting out odd strings of code,
ending with a series of Tweets denying its importance and claiming that the
system “just freaks out when it calls up a foreign source of information.”
May the endless
speculation commence!

Activision-Blizzard
announced today that Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 3 topped $1 billion in worldwide sales 16 days after its release and
trumped James Cameron’s Avatar, which
in comparison took 17 days to reach the magical one billion dollar figure.
Call of Duty games are profitable, who knew?
