Spyro and Crash are “ripe for innovation”

According to this GoNintendo piece, Acitvision said in its Q1 earnings call last night that Spyro and Crash are “ripe for innovation.”

The comments come in the wake of an announcement earlier this week that Crash and Spyro would be two of the few Vivendi franchises to make the transition to the newly formed Activision Blizzard.

That’s it. The call itself looks rubbish. There really isn’t a lot to say about it at all. Announces stuff, Activision. It’s more fun that way.

Vegas 2 PC crash takes up 1Gb of HD space

Comical. According to this forum thread, every time the PC version of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 crashes it creates a “MemDump” file nearly 1Gb in size.

Every time.

Read the thread. It’s genius: “Just looked in my directory… whoa. 7 gigs of space being eaten by crash dumps. Wondered where all my HDD space was draining off to.”

Thanks, Kotaku.

Rockstar responds to Bully bugs

A few angry posts popped up yesterday regarding some crash-heavy bugs in the Bully: Scholarship Edition for Xbox 360, but a dribble turned into a flood overnight, it would seem. Rockstar made a statement on the issue, to be found here.

We have just become aware of the issues people are having with Bully Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems. You have our word that we never experienced any of this in QA – in any of our offices or at Microsoft. I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation. Thanks to Neo-Gaf for bringing this matter to our attention. We love our games and put a huge amount of energy and care into making them all that they can be. We would never shove anything out the door – we never have and never will. We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience.

Respectfully,

Sam Houser

Internet placation at it’s best, there. Hopefully this is a storm in a teacup.
