Sony looks poised to bring its PlayStation 3 motion controller Move to PC, opening up alternative uses for the device.
The synopsis for a panel at GDC next month entitled 'Update on PlayStation Move development' includes the comment "We will discuss the new Move Server project that will make it possible for academics and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs."
The talk is to be presented by John McCutchan, SCEA's lead of the Game Systems team in Developer Support.
No further information on Move Server is available at present. Rumours are also swirling that Microsoft is soon to offer official support for its Kinect motion controller on PC, following a vast a number of inventive hacks for the device.

Independent UK studio Preloaded believes that the high risk of piracy on PC games can be turned to online developers' advantage.
The London-based developer's creative director Phil Stuart urged the audience at the World Of Love conference in London last week to "work with pirates."
Preloaded had made SWFs of its Flash-based historical strategy game 1066, made in association with Channel 4, easy to obtain, so they were then taken by less scrupulous individuals and shared around – thus increasing the game's audience. "It gets stolen and put onto the pirate sites, so we get a massive [catchment] by being on the free sites."
Preloaded is perhaps in an enviable position in this regard however, with much of its work coming from contractors such as the BBC, Bacardi and the Science Museum rather than post-release sales.
Stuart also emphasised the importance of approaching the target audience, as well as creating a seeding matrix' from which the game was then likely to spread.
Editorial coverage from sites such as JayIsGames and Rock, Paper, Shotgun, was important, he felt, as was mastering Google Analytics. "It's incredibly powerful if you get it right. You can see how many people completed certain levels, correlate it with how hard you think those levels were."
Identifying the most useful referrers was also key, with Stuart revealing that Preloaded's "top referrer is 4399.com because kids [when they're at school] can't go to sites with games in the title."
Such techniques, he claimed, had led to its game 1066 appearing above the Wikipedia page for the famed historical year 1066 in Google results.

Sandbox behemoth Grand Theft Auto very nearly never came into being, with the original game in the series a hair's breadth away from being cancelled while still in production, according to a new interview with one of the original developers.
Speaking to Gamasutra, DMA Design's Gary Penn explained "[The original GTA] was a real mess for years, it never moved on, it never went anywhere," before adding, "the publisher, BMG Interactive, wanted to can it."
According to Penn, there were two main issues that dragged down development.
"One of them is stability, which is a really boring one but it crashed all the ****ing time," he explained. "The designers couldn't test stuff out or try things out, it just kept crashing as simple as that.
"Now the other thing that was a problem was the handling - the car handling was appalling... the core of playing was fundamentally broken."
The turning point came when a glitch in the code sent the police AI haywire, making them try to drive you off the road.
"One day, I think it was a bug, the police suddenly became mental and aggressive. It was because they were trying to drive through you.
"Their route finding was screwed, I think," he continued, "and that was an awesome moment because suddenly the real drama where, 'Oh my God, the police are psycho - they're trying to ram me off the road.' That was awesome, so that stayed in."
Grand Theft Auto eventually launched on PC in October 1997 to huge sales and considerable controversy. The rest, of course, is history.
DMA Design became Rockstar North in 1999 after being acquired by Take-Two Interactive. Penn now works at independent Scottish social game studio Denki.

Quote:
OpenMW is a free and open-source engine for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable (and improved!), open source implementation of the game´s engine and functionality
We are proud to announce the latest version of OpenMW, Version 0.9.0, which was released on 13 January 2011.
New Features
Exterior cells - loading, unloading and management
Character Creation GUI
Character creation
Make cell names case insensitive when doing internal lookups
Music player
NPCs rendering
Downloads
Linux 32 - http://openmw.googlecode.com/files/o...inux32.tar.bz2
Linux 64 - http://openmw.googlecode.com/files/o...inux64.tar.bz2
Windows - http://openmw.googlecode.com/files/openmw-0.9.0-win.zip
Known Issues
Sometimes the music track changes whenever you enter a new cell
Exterior rendering is unoptimized (slow) and has no landscape yet

We have a rate crash bug releated to NPC-rendering.
You can pick up things and use load doors (doors that connect cells). Note that the aiming mechanism is only a placeholder. It lacks precision and causes problems in some cases (it will be replaced in the next version).

Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion is a source port based on Hexen II and HexenWorld. Supported platforms are Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows.
Quote:
2010-11-25: Hammer of Thyrion, 1.4.4-pre11
Version 1.4.4-pre11 of Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion is released: Changes since the previous uhexen2 beta version:
- fixed a rare game crash when battling bosses with assassin class, using the tome of power and launching at the enemy a lot of projectiles.
- fixed a rare segmentation fault with certain command line arguments (bug was introduced sometime between version 1.3.0 and 1.4.0).
- fixed stuffcmds so that arguments to commands can have ´-´ or ´+´ within their names. A command like "hexen2 +map mymap-01" works properly now.
- fixed a problem in sound effects code where some teleportation sounds might have got lost.
- alsa audio: added workarouds for better behavior on some linux setups.
- hexen2 client: pause/resume midi (background music) along with cdaudio upon pause message.
- opengl: reworked text and HUD scaling menu option.
- windows mouse: fixed behavior upon minimize/restore in windowed mode.
- windows cdaudio: fixed MCI errors when resuming the last track of a cdrom.
- increased default zone memory size to 384kb.
- utils, jsh2color: worked around a stack corruption resulting in crashes due to the code´s way of dealing with TEX_SPECIAL cases.
- utils, lmp2pcx: Tweaked and documented palette file usage and allowed the embedded palette again.
- documentation updates.
- other small updates and fixes.
Along with the full sources, we also posted win32, win64 and dos binary packages, as usual. Mac OS X packages will follow shortly. We´d appreciate any feedback.
In the next release, I plan on adding ogg, mp3 and midi decoders for background music and remove SDL_mixer dependency. If all goes well, support for extra image formats can happen, too. Let´s wait and see.

Fixed: Fixed: You couldn´t separately set soft blending for smoke, sprites and sparks as expert user and with highest render quality set

PrBoom-plus is a Doom source port based on PrBoom.
Quote:
2.5.0.9.test @ 2011-Jan-24 00:03 - win32 build, sources
[+]If "-warp" does not have any map number after it, then the game will automatically warp to the first map of all files loaded at the command line. This allows a pwad to be run without concern for where the actual maps start.
[+]Ability to put automap in overlay mode where you want (map_overlay_pos_x/y/width/height config variables).
[+]Added render_patches_scalex/y config variables for custom scaling when "not adjusted" is used.
[+]Emulation of weaponinfo overrun. [*]Added mouse action for single-click use key presses and for backward motion. [*]Noclip side-effect which can occur after "intercepts overflow" should not have any effect after level reloading.
[-]Fixed crash on map21 @ Newgothic with "-complevel 10" and above.
[-]Improved emulation of "missed back side" overrun. There is no more desynch on fez1-924.lmp @ fez1.wad, but you still need to add "-setmem dosbox" or "-setmem dos71" command line parameter, because default "dos622" memory layout causes desynch.

The dates for QuakeCon 2011 are in. The event takes place in August, from 4th-7th, in Dallas, Texas - where limousines are fronted by bull horns.
QuakeCon used to be a place for id Software-related celebrations that usually involved huge old-school LAN parties, i.e. bring your own computer, plug it in and play an hours-long game of Quake.
That essence still remains, but there's a lot more going on now id Software is owned by ZeniMax - parent company of Bethesda.
In August, Bethesda will still have Rage, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Doom 4 to release. Brink and Hunted will have been on shop shelves long before.
