High Voltage on patching in Conduit 2, DLC a possibility, publisher talk for The Grinder, unannounced games, working with 3DS, more

Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage Software Chief Creative Officer on patching in Conduit 2…
“Well, it allows us to do patching now, and in the immediate future. Our goal is to be able to resolve any foreseeable problems through beta testing phase, but it does give us the ability to go back and resolve any significant issues that might pop up. As with any multiplayer game, things can get a bit dicey; when players are able to find exploits, or more significant issues where a small number of players engage in hacking or glitching, it can disrupt the experience for other gamers. Then it’s a good idea to have a system in place where you can do your best to circumvent some of those issues.”
Nofsinger on the possibility of DLC…
“We’d like to, but it really depends on sales. We’re currently just focused on the retail game itself, but we are certainly thinking about DLC in the future.”

Kirby’s Epic Yarn fact sheet
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Go Behind the Seams with Kirby!
Kirby’s first console platform game since the Nintendo 64™ days introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a world of cloth and textiles. The creative approach is woven directly into the game play and allows the ever-morphing Kirby™ to take on a variety of new forms. A simultaneous two player* mode will have players of all skill levels enjoying this one-of-a-kind experience.FEATURES:
The look of the world is stunning, but it’s also interactive. Pulling on stray threads might reveal hidden areas. When Kirby literally goes behind the scenes, the virtual fabric warps and bends to show his location.
Thanks to his versatile yarn composition, Kirby can take on a variety of forms both in his common actions and when he transforms into powerful vehicles. When Kirby dashes, he zips around as a car. In water, he turns into a submarine. At times he can even transform into a massive robotic tank, a UFO and other vehicles.
Two players can play through the entire game together.
Beads and collectible items are scattered throughout the environments for players to find.
* Additional accessories are required and sold separately.
