Euro morning news bulletin – January 31, 2011

ngp

You may have been drunk all weekend instead of scouring the internet for videogames news. Here's what happened.

  • Sony's said its in discussions about bringing already-released PSP UMD games to NGP. Kaz Hirai's assured you'll be able to redownload PSP stuff onto the format provided you're within PSN download limits.
  • Bethesda's Todd Howard's said that the Skyrim team look to iTunes for cues when creating the RPG's menu systems.
  • A Bulletstorm EULA caused a little storm over the weekend by falsely saying that the PC version requires an always-on netcon to play. Thankfully, it was all an error.
  • Visceral's Wright Bagwell reckons game designers need to stop looking to Hollywood for inspiration in terms of storytelling. He was speaking after the release of Dead Space 2 last week.
  • VG247 relaunches tomorrow. It's also our third birthday. We're planning to go live with the new site at about 8.00am GMT, so be sure to check back to see a new design and loads of new features.

Here's the audio. Now you're all set.

Patrick Garratt is a games media legend - and not just by reputation. He was named as such in the UK's 'Games Media Awards', the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
