Plainview, are you writing these stories, or are you just cribbing them from some kind of news article feed? It says "by Plainview," but I think all the news stories have your byline.
 
The video uploads definitely has a lot of potential.
 
Great article. These features have me just as excited as the games. It's the major reason I am picking up a console instead of just remaining a PC gamer only. Can't wait!
 
Give 1 hour auto gameplay recording, and that there will be the best feature ever.
 
EA were in talks to buy publisher THQ before it went bust, court documents have revealed.

The now defunct but not quite dead publisher THQ is suing EA and UFC brand owner Zuffa alleging EA's deal to gain the UFC license was the result of fraudulent negotiations.

EA, which plans to release EA Sports UFC in 2014, gained the UFC licence in June 2012 - six months before THQ, which had released three well-received UFC games of its own, declared itself bankrupt. At the time Zuffa paid THQ $10 million for breaking its contract, but THQ reckons it should have received around $20 million.

Here's the shady bit: THQ alleges EA used documents obtained from THQ while it discussed buying the ex-Saints Row, Warhammer 40k and South Park publisher to undermine its relationship with Zuffa.

"Throughout 2011, THQ's financial fortunes continued to decline," reads the court document. "It dedicated significant, dwindling capital to expanding the platforms for its uDraw hardware gaming tablet, which was a failure in holiday 2011 sales.

"By the end of November 2011, THQ projected that it would run out of capital within several months and thereafter be unable to support its major pipeline projects, including the next games in the UFC franchise."

According to the filing, it was at this point that THQ began exploring "strategic alternatives", including a potential sale to EA. "EA was a logical party to approach, given its indications of interest in the UFC franchise," THQ claims.

"In early December 2011, EA and THQ discussed a potential sale of THQ as a whole to EA. THQ provided EA internal financial information, including detailed sales and revenue figures for the UFC franchise, and projected marketing expenditures on the next UFC franchise game.

"After a December 12, high level meeting, several discussions, and a review of management projections, EA broke off negotiations, professing disinterest."

Two weeks later, THQ alleges, Zuffa threatened to terminate the UFC license based on THQ's insolvency. "On information and belief, EA communicated THQ's internal financial information and projections to Zuffa," THQ claims.

THQ reckons it's owned the UFC franchise rights, or its value. It also wants interest on the value of the franchise from 13th September 2013.

EA has said the "claims are without merit".

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft chose not to have this ported to the Xbox One. For as good as KI looks and it being new you potentially splinter your fighting game audience on the XB1. Now if you are getting an XB1 and want a fighter you get KI, a Microsoft exclusive.

How is that so far fetched? They have a first party launch fighting game that hasn't seen a release in 15 years going up against a hit fighting game in Injustice. To much time and money are going into KI to allow Injustice to over shadow it.

Plus the 360 version outsold the PS3 version. If anyone is left that hasn't played the game it will be sold on a Microsoft console anyways.
 
Probably. I don't think MS told them they didn't want it on X1, but I also don't think they are minding it that much right now since KI is a launch title, and Injustice is on the 360.
 
Hope to see a ton of upgrades. I have some old college buddies who work at Neather Realms and I know he'll be happy to make these characters look even better than they did before. More importantly, it's NR's first step into nexgen. So I'm excited to see the results.

Although, that begs the question, how many more upgrades are in store for games from the current gen?

Doubt it. Game sold more copies on the 360 so don't see why MS wouldn't want to try and tempt fans to upgrade it.
Also its not wise to turn down a studios game as you know they might take offense to it.
 
Guaranteed this game comes out on X1.

No different than Blizzard playing coy about Diablo 3 coming out on 360. They kept mum about it as only PS versions were announced. Then a few months later, MS version was "quietly announced". Then full promos for both PS and MS games were done.

I bet D3 comes out on PS4 and X1 in 2014.

But like D III only a 360 version was announced not an XBox One version.
