Dual Pixels is confident that a collection of the Kingdom Hearts games will be revealed at E3 next week. The series’ director, Tetsuya Nomura, wants to bring Kingdom Hearts back to consoles, so this may not be too far-fetched. The collection is said to include remastered versions of the original Kingdom Hearts, its direct-sequel, Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep. If this claim is true, it will be released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Wii U. Does this collection seem too good to be true?

An editor from CNET believes that E3’s excitement fades year by year. He thinks that in order for E3 to remain relevant, it need showcase new and unique hardware annually. He claims that the Wii U is not new hardware because it was introduced at E3 2011. There are many ideas shared by the editor, which he claims will make this year’s E3 better. One statement given by the editor, for example, is that game systems “should be cheap, and sell content subscriptions.” Are you willing to pay periodically in order to continue playing your video games?

IGN has heard from one of their sources that EA’s forthcoming Dead Space 3 will allegedly feature drop-in, drop-out co-op. The publications anonymous source also claims that the events of Dead Space 3 will take place on a desolate snow planet facility, which sounds a lot like the rumoured Tau Volantis. EA has yet to officially confirm Dead Space 3, but expect it to be announced next week at EA’s E3 press conference.

Update: My mistake, I didn’t check the date on the article. The co-op has now been confirmed by IGN and will feature Isaac Clarke’s new co-op partner Sgt. John Carver. Thanks CastorTroy81.

Mike Fischer, president and chief executive of the US division of Square Enix has incredibly high ambitions regarding the Tomb Raider reboot which is due on consoles next year. Fischer has told US publication Venture Beat that the company is determined that Tomb Raider will be the best game of the generation.

“I can look you in the eye and tell you, honest to goodness, we want this to be the best game of the generation. And the time that we’re giving it is going to allow that to happen. Look, you’re going to see the game at E3. Tell me if you think I’m blowing smoke your way. It’s really that good.”

Eve Online’s Lead Designer Refuses To Play Boxed Retail Games

The designer behind MMO EVE Online, Kristoffer Touborg, wants console makers to offer all of their games digitally. Touborg believes that gamers should not be required to leave their homes to purchase a new game because it may be sold out on its release date.

Touborg’s company, CCP Games, will be releasing the MMO Dust 514 as a downloadable title for the PlayStation 3.

Nintendo already confirmed that Wii U and Nintendo 3DS retail games will be offered as digital downloads. If it is successful, perhaps we’ll see Dust 514 on the Wii U’s digital store.

“The fact that consoles are retail based is super restrictive. It’s terrible.

I really hope that our game, Dust 514, is successful so that other console developers will be attracted to digital distribution as well – because that’s what keeps me playing PC.

If I have the choice of walking down to the store and buying a full price disc like I did in the 90s, or just opening my Steam account… I’m going to open my Steam account.

The second that changes is when I’ll start playing console games again, and hopefully Dust 514 will help bring that change.”
