| | Surgeon Simulator dev squashes Half-Life 3 rumors Jun 28th 2013, 12:26 Bossa Studios says "this has nothing to do with any Valve games" regarding easter egg found in game's latest update. 
Bossa Studios has confirmed that the easter egg recently discovered in Surgeon Simulator 2013 is not a tease for Half-Life 3. "Whoa! It seems that you've got a little ahead of yourselves! Here's a clue: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY VALVE GAMES! Carry on now“," the developer wrote on Twitter today. Gamers this week discovered a note taped to an object with Korean text inside Surgeon Simulator 2013. The text reportedly reads "The time is," with dots said to be in reference to planets within the solar system. "The time is 8:47 a.m." is one of the first lines in the original Half-Life. The discovery was made following the Team Fortress 2 update for Surgeon Simulator 2013. The free update allows gamers to play as Team Fortress 2's medic and operate on the heavy. Last April, Valve boss Gabe Newell said the studio had gone through numerous "twists and turns" to bring the game to market. He explained that Valve remaining silent on the game is in the best interest for gamers because elaborating on the game's development "would probably drive people more crazy." The most recent Half-Life game was 2007's Half-Life 2: Episode Two. That game advances the story of previous entries Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. A third episode was planned, but has not seen the light of day. A listing for Half-Life 3 was recently spotted in a Valve project tracker. Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
| | Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon sales hit 500,000 Jun 28th 2013, 12:01 Ubisoft CEO says he is "very happy" with sales for Far Cry 3 spinoff and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. 
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a $15 downloadable Far Cry 3 spinoff, sold 500,000 copies in under two months, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told GamesIndustry International in a new interview. He added that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon helped spur sales of the full Far Cry 3 game, most notably so on PC. Guillemot also addressed Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, another downloadable game based on a major retail franchise from Ubisoft. He did not give a specific sales figure for the game, but said he was "very happy" with its performance. Both games released in May. The performance of both Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger gives Ubisoft the chance to explore furthering its investment in downloadable brand extensions in the future, Guillemot said.

| | Microsoft partners with Time Warner for new live TV deal Jun 28th 2013, 11:35 Microsoft announces "landmark" deal with Time Warner to bring US subscribers 300 live TV channels this summer. 
Today, Microsoft announced a "landmark" deal with Time Warner Cable that will bring 300 of the cable company's live TV channels to Xbox 360 later this summer. Users must have an Xbox Live Gold membership and a subscription to Time Warner Cable to watch live television through their Xbox 360s. Live-streaming is only available to those in the United States. Supported channels include AMC, BBC World News, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, and more. Users will be able to control the programming using their voice through Kinect, Microsoft said. This deal is similar to the existing offer for Verizon FiOS subscribers, where users can watch many of the same channels live through their Xbox 360s with Kinect compatibility. Live TV streaming through Microsoft's next-generation Xbox One won't require a separate application, as it currently does on Xbox 360. The console will plug directly into a user's cable box and feed live TV through the system with an HDMI cable. Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
| | Xbox One Kinect won't be compatible with PC Jun 28th 2013, 11:17 PC owners will need to buy a Windows-specific version. 
Microsoft has confirmed that its next-generation Kinect for Xbox one won't be compatible with the PC. Microsoft will instead be releasing two versions of its next-generation Kinect. The version for Xbox One feature a proprietary connector, and Microsoft has no plans to provide an adapter to make it possible to work on a computer. "The Kinect for Xbox One sensor will not have an adapter that allows it to plug into a computer," said a Microsoft spokesperson to Ars Technica. "The new generation Kinect for Windows sensor will connect to computers using a standard USB3 port." Every Xbox One will come bundled with the new Kinect sensor. The Xbox 360's Kinect also featured a proprietary connector, but retail models sold outside of console bundles featured a USB 2.0 adapter. Enterprising developers managed to use the Kinect on the PC months before Microsoft provided an official SDK for the platform. Microsoft is currently offering a Kinect for Windows developer program for $399, which offers early access to the pre-release Windows version of the next-generation Kinect sensor in November 2013. The general release date for the new Windows version of Kinect is expected to be sometime in 2014. The Xbox One, and its Kinect sensor, will launch in November.

The report adds that both devices are in production to compete with similar devices that Apple may release in the future. WSJ sources add that Google has expectations that Apple will launch a gaming console as part of its next wave of Apple TV products. One source says that Google is also keeping a watch on the $99 Ouya, the Android-powered microconsole that saw its public release this week. Amazon sold out of its Ouya stock earlier this week, although the console is now back in stock. Both Google and Apple declined to comment. Any upcoming video games hardware, from either Google or Apple, would have to compete with Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4, both of which will launch later this year.
