Konami trademarks Genso Suikoden in US; new game in the works?Posted by: admin in Uncategorized
Siliconera reports that Konami has recently filed a trademark for “Genso Suikoden” in the US. Yeah, it’s for the Japanese series name, which kinda dilutes the possibility of an actual new game in the long-running RPG series. Still, the last filing — for Suikoden Tierkreis — bore fruit, so hopefully this trademark filing will yield another new game. Maybe we’ll finally get a current-gen Suikoden. That or Konami is finally getting around to releasing that Suikoden 1 and #@ !7 Related articles: Popularity: 1% [?]

The four titles registered in the USTPO would be: “World War II Hero”, “War Hero”, “Brothers in Arms War Hero”, and “Modern War Hero”. CEO Randy Ptichford had this to state about their new IPs: The news of the Gearbox Software “War Hero” related trademarks exposes a bit about our interests in the development of another original intellectual property. As people following gaming news know, Gearbox is really motivated right now to take some bold risks and do exciting new things that no one has ever seen before, such as Borderlands (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC). War Hero is something down the road for us — it’s not signed with a publishing partner yet as we haven’t even talked to any potential partners about it. So we’re certainly not ready to speak about it publicly at the moment. Related Articles: Popularity: 1% [?]

Teaser site countdowns anew: Square Enix hints with the number 4Posted by: admin in UncategorizedIt’s teaser site countdown time again, this time Square Enix.com Japan is counting the hours until they reveal more info about their new game. The page features a plain sketch of a simple landscape with only a big number four providing the only solid clue as to what it’ll be.
There aren’t any flashing letters and numbers, and there aren’t any character faces to be seen, so this one will be much less excruciating than all the staring that we had to do with the Kojima teaser page before E3. Judging by the “4″ on the page, it’s likely that this new game will be the next installment to a three-game series. Taking into account that this year marks the SaGa series’ 20th anniversary, could this be a SaGa 4? Interesting theories, anyone? More on Square Enix: Popularity: 1% [?]

Midway sued by movie producer over Mortal Kombat IP rightsPosted by: admin in Uncategorized
I kinda feel bad for Midway. They just can’t get a break. After getting a US 33M bid from Warner last month, here comes another lawsuit that could make the Warner deal fall through. GamePolitics is reporting that Lawrence Kasanoff, the guy behind the Mortal Kombat movies, TV show and animated series, is suing Midway in order to preserve his IP rights including copyrights to certain MK series characters. He also wants to retain rights to create derivative film and Television projects based on the fighting game series. In short, he wants to be able to keep milking the hell out of the franchise. Kasanoff also claims that it wasn’t Midway who made the series and its characters popular, it was him all along: In 1993, Kasanoff visited Midway… with an idea to launch the Mortal Kombat concept in a absolutely new direction. Specifically, Kasanoff proposed to develop… a full feature-length motion picture, a TV series, and other productions. Midway was initially skeptical, as Kasanoff’s idea was revolutionary at the time… Popularity: 1% [?]
