Preys-World Podcast - Back up on iTunes

Monday 17th of August, 2009 - 01:12:36 GMT

We've resolved the RSS listing bug which meant that #15 and the E3 special podcasts were failing to download to iTunes listeners. Another podcast was recorded today and when it's edited and finished, we'll let you know as always and it should be ready to hear wherever you get it.

Visit the relevant section at the Magazine and pick the right hand arrow to access the Itunes listing, but if you're already signed up, the delayed files should download by the end of Monday 17th August or whenever you choose "Refresh".

Hitman 5 - Still under development at IO Interactive

Sunday 16th of August, 2009 - 22:42:37 GMT

In our first exclusive in the history of the Prey's World Gaming Magazine , our man Prey talked to Ian Livingstone of Eidos, and received the confirmation that the Hitman franchise was staying with creators IO Interactive. This was in the face of the gossip about Batman Arkham Asylum devs Rocksteady possibly taking over the franchise (instead of just making a movie tie-in game for all formats to sit alongside the first four hard core PC games in the series).

We were certainly happy that there is a greater effort to tie in the second Hitman film's release with that of the fifth game, rather than leaving the entire trilogy deleted at the time of the first movie's release. This killed the big sales push that occured with the Tomb Raider franchise on the release of the first film, back when budget games in boxes were still shifting from retail outlets. Such a sales boost from the Hitman film would have helped out Eidos when the recession was biting the company hard, before the finalisation of the Square Enix takeover.

Ghostbusters - Idiotic Release Schedule begins tomorrow

Monday 15th of June, 2009 - 07:50:45 GMT

We have to say that we don't share the views expressed in the BBC article last week about the release of this game

Even if Ghostbusters might have to be re-sold to the newest generation of gamers, there's an army of them across the world that remember the 80s and the 8-bit editions of the game, who will want to play the modern version in all its glory with with orchestral quality sound.

Atari is inviting piracy on the PC at best and slow console sales at worst by delaying the UK and European release of the PC, 360, DS and Wii versions of this game until "later in the year" from retail outlets. Given that the game was canned and picked up again, it's a shame the successful bidder is now messing around an almost guaranteed hit. This is a re-run of Disney Interactive's similar bungled launch of Tron 2 in late summer 2003 across the rest of the world.

The big chains with established online presences like Game, including its wholesale Ebay operation, will still be able to sell the title. Similarly, shops which buy in and sell on games like CEX and/or Gamestation will still be able to sell the game without a problem as these grey imports are completed and jettisoned, but the indies will certainly get hurt and you have to wonder how serious Atari is about the games business following greater success on Steam for Unreal Tournament III, than for its retail edition.

Mirror's Edge 2 - Confirmed in development

Friday 12th of June, 2009 - 15:40:12 GMT

The original Mirror's Edge developed a hardcore following rather than achieving mass market appeal and was only released in January this year on the PC.

Fans will be happy to hear that EA gave the green light to a sequel. The work began before E3 when the announcement was made but it's also good news for developers Dice, not to be permanently associated with the Battlefield franchise.

Most players would hope the sequel is simply longer, which would mark an immediate improvement over the first game.
