The Legend of Korra game coming from Platinum

Platinum Games, the studio behind over-the-top action games like Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, is developing a third-person action game based on the Nickelodeon show The Legend of Korra. It's slated to release this fall as a downloadable game on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Activision will be publishing.

Developers discuss putting Early Access games on the Steam Summer Sale

The Steam Summer Sale is nearly halfway over and a number of games have been discounted tremendously, from classic games to more recent releases. However, the list of discount titles have also included offerings from Steam Early Access and that has caused some discussion among game developers. Some developers fall on the side that involving Early Access games in the Steam Summer Sale is a boon to their efforts. Their product may not yet be complete, but it would help push their game's development forward. Others feel that because the product is incomplete, it should not necessarily be treated like a finished game and that sales should come later. So Shacknews is taking a look at both sides of this discussion with the help of some noteworthy developers in the gaming community that currently have a horse in the Early Access race.

How Google Glass Could Change the Face of Gaming

The annual Google I/O Developer Conference started today, and that got us thinking about how Google Glass might revolutionize how we see life. Although the Oculus VR has rightly dominated the conversation lately, we began to wonder about how a gadget as compact as Google Glass might have a big impact on the way people interact with games and each other.

  I like these! Would it be agreeable to suggest maybe having some music on the background while the reporter speaks? I think she did a great job but it sounded a little off with nothing going on in the background.
  
  Don't think I've seen this new person before, but this is the first one of these videos I've watched. If you're new to the team, welcome! If not, then I guess I'm just blind lol.

    And music would be kinda annoying, if it's so loud that your struggling to understand what Sam etc is saying. I've seen people on Youtube do that have music in their intro that keeps going for awhile even when they come on and start talking and it's annoying.
