China’s games industry amassed $9.7 billion in 2012
China’s games industry grew 35.1% last year, with combined revenue of $9.7 billion. The country’s latest stats show that online gaming is the leading market-driver, accounting for 90% of the total figure.
Techweb reports that the 2012 China Games Industry Report disclosed China’s online gaming sector alone generated $9.1 billion in 2012, while mobile gaming is yet to explode, generating a meagre – by comparison – $520 million for the year. Given the legal complications regarding consoles in China, the hardware market only amounted to 0.1% of the overall total.
The report predicts total revenue of $21.7 billion by 2017 which suggests a year-on-year rise of 12.4% from now until then. Mobile is set to expand in a significant manner, aping its success on Western borders, thanks in large part to Apple and Android’s growing popularity in the region.

Πληροφορίες από ex-employer της Ubisoft για το Xbox720 (ή Xbox8) διερρευσαν. Προφανώς όνομα δεν εδωσε ο άνθρωπος διοτι θα τον κυνηγουν στον αιωνα τον άπαντα! 
Σύμφωνα με τις φημες λοιπόν, έχουμε και λέμε:
- 8 core CPU (possibly AMD)
- 8Gb RAM (dedicated memory for menu & video)
- AMD HD 8800M GPU
- Up until 640Gb HDD + 16 or 32Gb SSD
- Kinect 2.0 with a few surprises
- Windows 8 kernel
- BR Disc
- Possibly Wi-Fi 802.11ac
- Full compatibility with all Windows devices (ofcourse you need to sign-in to your account for all access)
Σε λίγους μήνες θα ξερουμε πλέον, αλλά τα λεγόμενα του κυρίου συμβαδίζουν με παλιές "διαρροές"!
Προφανώς χρειαζόμαστε λίγες παραπάνω πληροφορίες/λεπτομέρειες για το ποσο δυνατό θα είναι, αλλά φαίνεται ξεκάθαρα ότι μιλάμε για ένα μικρό κτήνος!

Exclusive interview: Valve's Gabe Newell on Steam Box, biometrics, and the future of gaming
A rare and candid talk with Valve's boss
https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/3852144/gabe-newell-interview-steam-box-future-of-gaming
Κάντε τον κόπο να το διαβάσετε όλο. Δεν είναι ούτε τυχαίος ο κύριος αλλά ούτε τυχαία η εταιρία!
Μερικά quotes από την συνεντευξη:
- "We'll come out with our own Steam Box and sell it to consumers by ourselves. That'll be a Linux box."
- "I think you'll see controllers coming from us that use a lot of biometric data."
- "Windows 8 was like this giant sadness."
- "We need to have a theory of fun."
- "There's this notion that user-generated content has to be an important part of our thinking."

Dishonored dev believes gamers are “blinded by the fear of censorship”
Ex-Dishonored dev Joe Houston believes gamers must reconsider the link between real world and virtual violence.
In an editorial on RPS, the former Arkane Studios employee considers violence within video games, and how players should react to it.
“In light of the recent gun violence in the U.S. and the resultant anti-game talk that has stemmed from it, it’s important as gamers not to simply retreat to the easy reaction, that games aren’t a part of the problem,” he said. “While I think that might be true…I think it’s a pity to stop there.
“Too often we think about what we might lose as players and developers if forced to engage in that conversation, becoming blinded by the fear of censorship. As a result we miss out on more creative and effective ways to be a part of the solution.
According to Houston, “linear games that have a lack of personal ownership in game violence actually do so at the disadvantage of society.”
“I don’t believe that game violence causes real world violence, but I do believe that it does little to prevent it. And games with meaningful – and potentially distasteful – choice just might do better because they stand a chance of making the player think about what they’re doing on screen.”
Citing the German Government’s decision to grant Dishonored an uncut release, Houston suggests this wouldn’t have been possible without the game’s intention on emphasising player choice.
“One could argue this is largely because the game can be played without killing anyone,” he said. “This doesn’t change all the things you might do in the game, but simply by knowing that it allows non-violence you find that every violent act you choose in cast in a sobering light.”
Huston is currently working on a PC strategy title called Unwritten; the first project from his Roxlou Games studio.
