“You’ll see a little bit more RPG elements in the next Gears game that are very light,” said Bleszinski.

He explained how that the type of genre cross pollination will continue to influence the games gamers will play in the future.

He also explained that this kind of genre cross pollination will continue to influence the games we play in the future.

“I’ve gone on record before, and I said the future of shooters are RPGs, and the shooters that I’ve liked the most lately are ones like BioShock, which had some light RPG elements, as well as Borderlands, which I continue to gush about, not only because it’s our engine of course, but because Randy’s a good friend of mine, and it’s the kind of game I believe in.

“Moving on from there, game developers have a way of cross-pollinating an immense amount. Gears was influenced by Resident Evil, then Resident Evil 5 was influenced by Gears. So, maybe you’ll see elements from more RPGs, or Heavy Rain narrative style elements, start bleeding into the genre.”

Gears of War 3 is heading for a scheduled release date for April 2011.

“We’ll still have an attachment to Halo through Reach, but we definitely won’t be producing any new Halo projects beyond Reach,” said Jarrard.

Halo: Reach is heading for a scheduled release this autumn to the Xbox 360.

You get Specil Stages 2 and 3.  Special Stage 2 features Punk which is the second of Dr Wily’s robot creations. Special Stage 3 features Ballade, the third creation of Dr Wily’s. Each stage is priced at 100 Wii Points/80 Microsoft Points = £0.79p.

So far there is ‘redfactionarmageddon.com’  and  ‘redfactionorigins.com’.

Though THQ have confirmed plans to release a new title for the franchise before April 2011. And if that isn’t enough, the publisher has entered into a partnership with Syfy who are going to produce a Red Faction TV Movie, which then could turn into a full-blown TV series.

Lots of goodies to come by the looks of things.

We have been blessed with the annoucement trailer of F.3.A.R. (F.E.A.R. 3). Good Times.

From watching the acted out trailer, it sends a few chills down you back. One question which is on our minds is… will this be the last title for the F.E.A.R. franchise? It bloody best not be!
Enjoy the trailer.

Dead Space 2

“We did ourselves a disservice on the original game…a lot of people played it and our demo was not received as the super awesomest thing ever,” said Papoutsis. “That’s one thing, again, we want to make sure this time out we deliver a demo that lets people understand the flavour and experience that’s at the heart of the Dead Space universe. We’re really gonna focus on what’s really good, so that new people get a chance to experience and see what it’s really about.”

“It’s our goal to deliver a game that not only after every single chapter you want to keep going, but we want the demo to be the kind of event where you play it and you go “Holy shit, I’m going out right now, I’ve got to get this!” That’s one of the goals that we’re driving towards and I think we’re going to nail that.”

Dead Space 2 is heading for a scheduled early release in 2011 for Xbox 360 and PS3.

“In terms of platform, I know these things are all still pending topics in the studio,” Jarrard told IndustryGamers. “It hasn’t gotten to the point where we’re unable to do great work and we’re moving forward. Things are definitely coming together though. We definitely have plans in the works, and I think we’re really close to understanding of what is next and who, what, when, where, that’s all going to land.”

“But we’re not looking at one particular piece of technology right now. All options are open right now, so long as we find the best possible fit for our creative vision and what this project is going to be.”

These are the hard-drives which are included on the Super Elite Console Bundles you might have seen around (example. Modern Warfare 2 Console). The retail price for the hard-drives will be £79.99. Fairly reasonable.

You may pre-order your 250GB Hard-drives now online so get to it, think of all that extra room!

Looking at the piece of artwork which has been used for the advert you can see Alma looking slightly older, a man with long hair and a gun, and a guy who seems to have a bullet hole dead smack in the forehead, our guess he’s probably dead…

Unfortunately, the studio didn’t last. Not long after the release of Left 4 Dead Valve asked the staff to go join it’s studio in Washington and closed Turtle Rock.

However, Develop have reported that Turtle Rock has been re-opened by founder Michael Booth who is a close friend to Valve.

Though there is no information on any projects in the works at the studio.
