| Tekken X Street Fighter 'still in development' Aug 5th 2013, 06:33 Producer Katsuhiro Harada states that Tekken X Street Fighter is still being developed; no new updates on the game announced. 
Development on crossover fighting game Tekken X Street Fighter has not ceased, Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada said in a recent interview. Speaking to Siliconera, Katsuhiro Harada stated that the game is "still in development" and that there are "several reasons" why no recent updates on the project have been announced recently. "One of the reasons is Street Fighter X Tekken was released. That still had updates until recently. One interesting thing we've seen with that title when it came out was that it's not quite what we expected," Harada said. The producer made reference to Street Fighter X Tekken's reception, saying, "It was not just Tekken fans and Street Fighter fans merging; there seems to be a whole new community growing around that title that wasn't playing either of the titles up until that point. That was very unexpected, but quite cool." In a bid to support the new community, Harada stated that Namco Bandai is still looking for "the right time" to release Tekken X Street Fighter. Tekken X Street Fighter was first announced alongside Street Fighter X Tekken in 2010. The two games are separate projects, with Namco Bandai taking up the reins for Tekken X Street Fighter, and Capcom releasing Street Fighter X Tekken last year.

|  | Naughty Dog confirms The Last of Us was censored for PAL territories Aug 5th 2013, 03:58 A Naughty Dog developer has confirmed the game was modified to meet legal requirements in PAL markets. 
Following suspicion from players that some of the more graphic content found in the critically acclaimed The Last of Us was different in the North American and European versions of the game, a Naughty Dog spokesperson has confirmed that PAL editions were toned down to meet legal requirements in their respective regions. The comments, made to user Ramify by Naughty Dog developer EvangM said: "1. The gore and violence ratings are subject to local regulatory boards in various countries, so the game must be slightly changed in order to accomodate [sic] those choices. 2. To be honest, I'm not sure what version Australia is getting. If you import the North/South American version, it will not be censored, but EU/UK will be." Posters on both the PlayStation and Naughty Dog forums expressed concern over differing animations when performing executions, the removal of enemy limb dismemberment, and the amount of blood spray experienced when killing another player during multiplayer matches. GameSpot contacted Sony Computer Entertainment, seeking clarification as to the specific differences for the game between regions. A spokesperson was unable to comment at time of publication.

| | Crytek websites taken down following 'suspicious activity' Aug 5th 2013, 02:45 Crysis developer's websites have been taken down following suspicious activity; users will be prompted to change their passwords once services are restored. 
Crysis developer Crytek appears to have become the latest victim of hackers, according to a report by Blue's News. A statement on Crytek.com said: "We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek's websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons. We thank you for your patience, and expect to have these sites fully operational soon." Crytek.com, Mycryengine.com, Crydev.net, and MyCrysis.com all currently display the message, while the developer's other sites, GFACE.com, Crysis.com, and Warface.com are unaffected. According to the report, users will be prompted to change their passwords once normal service is restored. Game publishers and developers have become attractive targets for online attackers in recent years, with other high-profile intrusions including those against World of Tanks creator Wargaming.net, Blizzard Entertainment, Ubisoft, and Sony's PlayStation Network. A spokesperson for EA, Crysis 3's publisher, was unavailable for comment at the time of publication. Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
| | Sony ends support for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Aug 5th 2013, 01:39 No additional characters will be released for the brawler; balance patch and free skins coming later this year. 
Sony’s Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that it has ceased active development for mascot-driven fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The news, conveyed on the All-Stars blog, confirmed that no additional playable characters or background environments will be released for the game, but that previously exclusive DLC will be made available. Starting on August 27, players will be able to get their hands on the formerly US-only pre-order skins for Dante, Raiden, Heihachi, and Big Daddy. A balance patch that will tweak player strength, weakness, and functionality is planned for later this year, and will coincide with free costumes for Zeus, as well as Dead Space’s Isaac Clarke. The game’s new developer confirmed that it is currently exploring issues with title belts being incorrectly awarded, and moving forward, will reset leaderboards on a monthly basis, as well as introduce new community events. The post also addressed recent rumours about Journey- and Gravity Rush-themed stages, as well as Legend of Dragoon character, Dart, saying that legal barriers may have stopped certain items being implemented in the game. "In the course of any game's development, there are always elements that never quite get finished or the team decides not to use in the final game. Some of these additional materials from the game’s development phase have been recently released, but unfortunately, these are very far from finished assets and were not included in the final game for a number of production and legal reasons," the statement said. In February this year, Sony severed ties with the game's original developer, SuperBot Entertainment, which saw the studio lay off part of its team.
