Ben Cousins, DICE’s executive producer and the senior developer of upcoming Battlefield: Heroes game was interviewed by GamesIndusty.biz. Cousins says the web will be the dominant gaming platform of the future. This statement holds plenty of ground when you look at the crazy popularity of “casual” web based video games. Ofcourse, let’s not forget Battlefield: Heroes is also browser based and is catergorised as a “casual” game.
“People talk about which of the two, PlayStation or Xbox, is going to be the big platform of the future,” Cousins said.
“I think the web is going to be the big platform of the future, whether it’s running on an iPhone or a Mac or on the PC.”

Futuremark won’t PWN you!

Futuremark Corporation (Creator of widely popular 3DMark) was in quite a bit of a controversy after their plans of Trademarking “Pwnage” were publicly reported by several news sites. Jukka Makinen, Executive Producer of Futuremark’s Game Studio, has made a post in regards to this in the YouGamers forums:
Fellow gamers,
Our purpose in filing for trademark on the name “Pwnage” is not to charge money or stop people from using the expression. That’s not what a trademark is for. Instead, we want to protect ourselves from squatters (or what I call campers) - people looking to trademark the name on false pretenses, just to make a claim against Futuremark Games Studio for its use.
