It’s high time a gamer decides to jump in on the console gaming universe this season as both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 see a re-invigoration of interest now that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are about to arrive. One fine example of this is in the 12GB PlayStation 3 – a […]
Nintendo first shared details of its Wii U Web Framework at GDC in March, which it hoped would encourage more apps and games to be ported over, and facilitate quicker Wii U game prototyping. Fast-forward to GDC Europe and Martin Buchholz, manager of developer relations at Nintendo, confirmed that the framework has now been updated to include eCommerce support — such as DLC purchases. Something of a significant lure for those with existing games that have yet to be convinced to move them over to Wii U. It’s not quite in-app purchases, but it will certainly ease the worries of those game makers who prefer to monetize their titles after the initial transaction.
Microsoft’s attempt to reinvigorate its aging Age of Empires game franchise most recently resulted in a free-to-play game distributed on the company’s (now shuttered) Games for Windows Live service. The game, Age of Empires Online, launched as a free title with two civilizations available to play as; any additional civilizations (initially) cost $20 apiece, a hefty price despite the amount of content therein (30ish hours per civilization). Longtime AOE fans, understandably, reacted negatively to the game’s business model, which took the content previously offered in full from older AOE games and broke it up into an a la carte, F2P title.
As Microsoft AOEO executive producer Kevin Perry told a crowd of GDC Europe attendees this morning in a panel titled “F2P the Wrong Way: Age of Empires Online,” the game outright “wasn’t ready for launch” when it arrived in Summer 2011. Though Perry ran through a variety of ways that his team helped to fix AOEO‘s course, he brought up one particularly interesting factor: Valve’s Steam game service. When the game hit Steam in March 2012, the game’s DAU (daily active users) spiked by more than three times — a larger bump than any other change by far, including new content (as seen in the above image).

Taking panoramic photos was once a time consuming process of carefully snapping a series of shots and then manually stitching them back together in Photoshop. Today it’s as easy as just panning across a vista with your digital camera or smartphone, but researchers at Queen’s University’s Human Media Lab have come up with an even easier solution: a flexible camera that captures panoramic images in a single snap.
