Sony’s updated its sales figures for the PlayStation Move, announcing that it has shipped 8.3 million units of the motion controller worldwide.The number was announced by SCEA’s Gabe Ahn during a GDC Online presentation this week. It’s the first sales figure that Sony’s announced for the PlayStation Move since it confirmed shipments of 4.1 million in December last year.It’s unclear how many units Sony has actually sold to consumers, but it’s probably safe to say the number is in the same ball-park. After all, retailers rarely buy copious amounts of a product that’s unlikely to sell.

Mass Effect 3will be a chatty one, considerably more so than its predecessors; the sci-fi trilogy’s final act will have twice the amount of dialogue over the first game.That’s 40,000 lines, the game’s audio lead Rob Blake has revealed over Twitter: “We do our best to keep consistency but it’s tough with 40,000 lines! We’ve got new techniques on ME3 that improve it tho!”That’s actually almost as much as both Mass Effectand Mass Effect 2combined; the two hold 20,000 and 25,000 lines, respectively.Mass Effect 3‘s out next March.

Here’s a shocker: Next summer’s blockbuster movie The Amazing Spider-Manwill make a ton of money. Also, there will be a videogame release to accompany said movie.Everyone knew it was coming, but now we have the first official sign. On Thursday, IGN took a picture of a poster promoting the game at publisher Activision’s Comic-Con booth in New York. A Beenox logo was spotted on the poster, which means this upcoming game will be produced by the same studio that brought us Spider-Man: Edge of Timeand Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.The world’s favorite hyphenated hero is returning to theaters on July 3, 2012 in the US, so we can expect the videogame release to be somewhere around that date.

Rovio, the studio responsible for the Angry Birdsphenomenon, is right now a privately held company. However, that could change sometime in the near future, as the company is looking into going public.“We’re not ready to file for an IPO tomorrow,” said chief marketing officer Peter Vesterbacka, “Maybe a year from now.”Just a couple of months ago, there was speculation that Rovio could be worth as much as $1.2 billion, but Vesterbacka is thinking that that figure might be a little low. About the worth of the company he remarked, “We’re happy with our valuation but we think it’s probably a bit north of that.”Exactly how much cash Rovio will fetch for its common stock when it does go public is up for debate, but we can’t blame Vesterbacka for thinking big.

Going hand-in-hand with Street Fighter X Tekken’s March 6th release date, Capcom has also announced a special edition for the crossover title. The limited edition package includes a variety of goodies, including a rather slick “build it yourself” arcade cabinet bank and a selection of in-game “gems” which can be used to customise your favourite character’s fighting style.Also included is the game (of course) and a prequel comic, presumably outlining just why characters from the Street Fighter and Tekken universes are at each other’s throats. Probably something petty, eh?

According to information reported by GamesIndustry.biz, the candle’s gone out at Harry Potter developer EA Bright Light. The British developer — based in Guilford — was formerly known as Bullfrog Productions, the legendary studio behind the likes of Theme Park and Theme Hospital.It’s spent the last few years working on the official Harry Potter games. But reports suggest that the studio is on the cusp of closure, as it enters a formal consultation process before shuttering.EA said employees affected will be offered work at alternative studios in the UK. We’d like to extend the best of luck to everybody concerned.

This is music to our ears. Regular readers will know just how much we love tennis games, and how long we’ve dreamed of a tennis game that gets PlayStation Move integration spot on. Well, EA’s making all the right sounds when it comes to Grand Slam Tennis 2 on PlayStation 3.In an interview with Eurogamer, producer Thomas Singleton explained why the developer had opted to support PlayStation Move over Kinect.“The successful Kinect titles are built specifically for that platform,” he said. “They’re not built for that platform [PlayStation 3] and then made to work with the Kinect platform. The games that play well, that’s where the Move controller is treated as a peripheral versus a platform. We’re supporting the peripheral.”

“We’ve got best-in-class Move integration – we want you to feel that sensation of controlling all the action.“Then there’s our P.R.O. AI system where, much like NHL 12’s AI, players not only look like themselves but they play like themselves. An offensive baseliner like Rafael Nadal plays like an offensive baseliner.”Honestly, you have no idea how excited we are for this game. Noidea. Our expectations are sky-high, let’s hope EA can deliver, because right now it’s talking a great game.[Thanks Eurogamer

Boss fights in fighting games are always terrible. But at least Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3’s final brawl looked cool. The ten-storey tall Galactus was a formidable foe, but a fun one. Apart from when he, y’know, killed you for the hundredth time.But thankfully in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, you’ll have the chance play as the over-powered, cheating boss character. Hurrah. The character will be locked away in “his own little mode” — presumably as a stress-buster for when you’ve died  a billion times on normal difficulty. Beats smashing up your controller.

Wow, that'big, literally!!

I'm still not buying it. Capcom made the mistake of releasing the original version with the lack of core content they did & as far as i know refuses to create a patch updating the original version to ultimate. So they resell Ultimate for $39.99 & those bought the original would have to purchase a Marvel vs Capcom 3 title yet again. Capcom can rot for all i care

Following previous rumors that a bundle of the first three Devil May Cry games would be released this year to celebrate the series' 10-year anniversary, Capcom has announced it plans to bring out a remastered collection of all three next year. ESRB listings for the trio were updated not long ago with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 being added as platforms, so we knew they would be coming in one form or another. Today's press release notes that they will be upgraded to feature HD graphics, bonus content of some kind, and Achievements/Trophies. Capcom recently released HD versions of two Resident Evil games -- Code Veronica X and 4 -- albeit in a different form.

These days the term XIIImight make you think more of Final Fantasythan Ubisoft’s last-gen cel-shaded shooter. The game, while visually arresting, didn’t capture the hearts of many.That said, publisher Anuman Interactive is taking another stab at adapting the franchise for gaming, though admittedly on a smaller scale. Little is known about this upcoming game, titled XIII Lost Identity, other than that it will show up on PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad.Are you excited to see XIII‘s return to gaming?

Guess how many units of the iPhone 4S Apple shifted over opening weekend (without reading the title)?Two million? Nay. Three million? Get out of town. Ten million? No, that’s silly. It’s four million. Over four million, even. The device launched in most major territories last Friday. Another 22 countries will see its release by the end of the month, too. Staggering numbers like that are a pretty good testament to the influence of the late Steve Jobs, aren’t they?Apple have also boasted that 25 million customers have downloaded iOS 5 since its release on October 12. That makes it a big week for Apple in one of its most significant months since being formed.

lol I don't think a lot of MVC 3 owners are, but I do think those who didn't buy the original will buy UMVC 3, just because of the price.
