Alternative Edition of Capcom zombie shooter ousts God Eater from top spot; Heavy Rain debuts in sixth place.

After two weeks on top of the Japanese sales charts, Namco Bandai’s PSP game God Eater was dethroned by another game about insatiable hunger. According to Japanese tracking firm Media Create, Capcom’s zombie redux Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition (called Gold Edition in the US) was the best-selling game for the week of February 15-21, selling 143,339 copies in its retail debut.

Sure, Namco Bandai’s latest can eat gods, but it can’t stop this.

Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition includes all of the downloadable content released for the original survival horror game, as well as compatibility with the PlayStation 3 motion-sensing controller. Unfortunately, it will be some time before gamers know how well that compatibility works, because Sony won’t be releasing the peripheral until the fall.

Though the Monster Hunter-like God Eater relinquished the top spot, it didn’t fall very far. The multiplayer action game sold 64,192 copies for the week, more than enough to hold off a trio of sales-chart-loitering titles for Nintendo’s systems: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (44,415 sold), Dragon Quest VI for the DS (41,412 sold), and Tomodachi Collection (31,299 sold).

Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition wasn’t the only game new to the top 10 for the week. Quantic Dream’s PlayStation 3-exclusive noir-tinged thriller Heavy Rain was the sixth-best-seller of the week, selling 26,775 copies. Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s World Championship 2010 Reverse of Arcadia for the DS also made its first appearance on the charts, selling 24,132 copies for the week.

Sony was the big winner on the hardware charts, with the PSP outselling every other system for the seventh straight week and the PS3 leapfrogging the Wii and DSi LL (called the DSi XL in the West) to land in second. The chart position for Sony’s portable has benefitted not just from a lineup of best-selling new releases like God Eater and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, but also from Nintendo’s segmentation of the DS lineup of systems. Combining sales of the DSi LL, the DSi, and the DS Lite, Nintendo’s portables outsell even the PSP by more than 12,000 units.

Veterans from The Sims studio setting up a new development team at publisher’s Utah shop to work on “groundbreaking new project.”

While the industry has been hit by a wealth of layoffs and studio closures in recent months, at least one shop is going in the opposite direction. Electronic Arts has announced that it is adding a new development team to its Salt Lake City studio, headed by “key leaders” pulled from the publisher’s Sims studio at Redwood Shores.

Contemporary? Check. Mature? Well, they are old…

The new team will be put to work on a “groundbreaking new project,” though an EA representative would not confirm for GameSpot whether it had any ties to the Sims franchise beyond the team leadership. The new team will join EA’s existing Salt Lake City operation, which currently houses the developers of Hasbro-branded titles like Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf games. To make room, EA is moving the entire studio into larger facilities in downtown Salt Lake City.

The development team will eventually ramp up hiring but first must fill some key roles. Currently, EA’s official job site is listing seven open positions at its Salt Lake City location, including creative director, art director, technical director, and senior online engineer.

The creative director listing indicates that the game will be a new intellectual property and asks for experience with single-player and multiplayer online games. Meanwhile, the art director should have experience with “a mature, contemporary art style,” and EA wants a senior online engineer with experience working with the online functions of the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Former Team Ninja developer and previous employer reach an agreement in 2008 dispute over unpaid Dead or Alive 4 bonuses.

Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki and Tecmo technically parted ways in 2008, but the two have been tussling in court ever since. When he split from Tecmo, Itagaki claimed the publisher owed him about $1.4 million in unpaid bonuses for development of Dead or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360 and filed suit to get it. At the time, Tecmo said it would “let the court decide” on the bonuses.

Tomonobu Itagaki and Tecmo have resolved their legal differences.

The courts won’t get the chance to decide after all, as Tecmo and Itagaki have reached a settlement agreement. The news was originally reported by 1Up and later confirmed by Tecmo representatives for GameSpot. In a statement provided to 1Up, Itagaki mentioned the dispute involved compensation for dismissal, while in 2008 he said he had resigned from the company. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.

The settlement marks an end to a partnership that saw the publisher and Itagaki produce a number of hits, including the 3D revamps of the Ninja Gaiden series and the Dead or Alive fighting franchise. Since leaving the company, Itagaki has established a new studio tentatively referred to as Tokyo Vikings. Meanwhile, Tecmo and Team Ninja have pushed on with the series he developed, releasing Ninja Gaiden Sigma II for the PlayStation 3 and preparing Dead or Alive: Paradise for the PSP. Perhaps most notably, Team Ninja is also developing Metroid: Other M for Nintendo.

While the Tecmo-Itagaki pairing produced some blockbuster successes, it was not without friction. In 2006, a former coworker of Itagaki’s filed suit against the developer, claiming he sexually harassed her on multiple occasions. She also accused Tecmo of mishandling the situation when she complained about Itagaki’s behavior, telling her to handle it herself.

Q&A: The head of production at TT Games tells us all about working on Lego Harry Potter, flying broomsticks, and joining the Warner Bros. group.

After releasing a string of successful Lego-themed games, including Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman, and Lego Rock Band, the development team at Traveller’s Tales has set its sights on the world of Harry Potter. Following the success of its block-based forbears, the upcoming Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 will focus on the boy wizard’s formative years at Hogwarts. It will also feature plenty of wand-waving, spellcasting, puzzle-solving and broom-flying. We recently caught up with Jonathan Smith of TT Games to find out more about the game.

GameSpot UK: Why did TT Games decide to do Lego Harry Potter: Years 1 – 4?

Jonathan Smith: Lego Harry Potter is the most natural fit together. The world of Lego–of surprise and humour–with the world of Harry Potter–full of magic and these amazing characters and great drama–has bonded in the game incredibly naturally and it has been great fun. We started working with Warner Bros. originally on Lego Batman, and they were such fantastic creative partners that they did make it very easy for us to take the steps toward Lego Harry Potter.

GSUK: What involvement did you have with the Harry Potter film crew?

JS: The team was incredibly lucky and thrilled to be able to visit the set of the recent Harry Potter movie [and draw] inspiration from the world that they were creating. To actually walk around it was really, really inspiring. So, the work that the movie teams have done over those years on Harry Potter…we have incredible respect for. And you’ll see in the cutscenes that we echo it at certain points. But the world is fundamentally based on the books, and the movies come from the books as well. That’s where Harry Potter comes from.

GSUK:You’ve talked about some of the new features in the game and the move to a more open-world design.

JS: I wouldn’t necessary say open world. What happens is that the world of Hogworts unfolds as you grow and learn in it over the course of four full years. So by the end of the game, it’s a huge environment, which you have become the master of. And you’ve learned its secrets and discovered all of its nooks and crannies. But at the start of the game, you should find yourself pretty well directed about what to do next in order to learn your next spell and move on through the story. It’s not an open world in the sense of other games where you have to [complete] a series of fetch quests to get you to the map.

GSUK: Are the missions linear in the sense that they follow the story and there’s a set order in which you would complete them?

JS: So, the story unfolds in the game through the four years in the order that it does in the books and the movies. But, you are free within each major story section to move around Hogworts and to discover some of its secrets there as well…plus to go back into previous levels that you’ve already played and take different characters in there as well. There are conventional level action sequences and an increasingly open Hogwarts level as well…at the heart of it.

GSUK: Are there side missions or minigames to discover around Hogwarts?

JS: The whole of Hogwarts and, in fact, all areas of the game are full of secrets and hidden challenges. Not minigames. We don’t have minigames. We believe that our core mechanics enable you to do so many different things in different parts of the world and with different characters that we can deliver that sense of depth and replayability using our basic systems.

GSUK: How does Lego Harry Potter utilise the Wii Remote’s motion controls? Did you consider support for Project Natal or the PlayStation 3 motion controller?

JS: We make our Lego games for the greatest possible audience. That means that we do work on multiple platforms simultaneously. Lego Harry Potter is particularly well suited to the Nintendo Wii in this instance because we’re able to use the Wii Remote as a wand where–using it as a pointing device–you’re actually able to manually build with Lego objects using our new spell and physics systems.

To the question about [whether] we would consider taking advantage of new motion control devices and systems…as people who love new games and innovation and are always trying to create new technology to deliver better experiences, we’re always very actively interested in innovations like that. But this game comes out at the end of May before those devices are launched.

GSUK: You’ve spoken before about the importance of focus testing with children and getting them involved in development. What were the things that they wanted to see included in a Harry Potter game?

JS: For children, we found that it was particularly important that they have a sense of power in the spells that they learn…that they can go around and really wreak havoc by casting spells all over the place. And casting spells particularly on fellow people and–to a very, very great extent–the idea of being able to cast spells on teachers and turn them into animals–small animals really–was very, very compelling for children.

GSUK: Harry Potter, from the third year onward, starts to become quite dark and mature. How do you keep things fun and kid friendly?

JS: Everything becomes fun and kid friendly in a Lego world. You cannot present anything inappropriate in the Lego world because by its translation, it has become fine. And where in the non-Lego version, it could’ve been tense for young children or even inappropriate for young children, by translation into a Lego world, that is all stripped away. And, in fact, the more apparently difficult the material is at source, we often find that the funnier it becomes in Lego.

GSUK: How does your character progress in the game? Can you explain how that works?

JS: A major new innovation for Lego Harry Potter is the idea that all the characters will progress and learn different abilities as they go through the game. They don’t just stay static in terms of their abilities at start. We have a graphical display of the abilities that you have, and your starting characters are limited to a single spell. And, then, as you complete the lessons and as you play through the story, new spells and abilities are added to that in quite a dramatic way that we think will be really compelling for the players.

GSUK: Are there any other Warner Bros. properties that you’ve thought about for future Lego games?

JS: No, we’re focussed on Lego Harry Potter. Anything’s possible in the future. We have every intention of making more Lego games; we love making Lego games. But right now, we’re in the world of Harry Potter. That’s where we’re having all of our fun.

GSUK: But being part of Warner Bros. has given you a lot of freedom to consider those properties?

JS: Warner’s been a fantastic family for us to join. It sounds a bit pat, but it’s genuinely true. They’re experts in all kinds of different areas of entertainment and media. They’re incredibly supportive of what we’ve been doing, especially in video games, creatively. We couldn’t wish for a better company to be part of.

GSUK: What one thing about the game are you most proud of?

JS: The dynamic split-screen is really, really great in Lego Harry Potter, and that’s something we’re extremely proud of. [Something] especially well suited to Harry Potter, as well, that is really fun to play with and could’ve been quite a tough design challenge is the implementation of broomstick flying. The control system for flying brooms is really elegant and really nice and straightforward but gives you great flexibility and the sense of really being in control of a flying object. And we’re really pleased with that.

While traveling the high country this summer writing my travel blog (Oregon to Florida) I discovered a wonderful camping experience; US National Forest Sno-Parks. These parks are used in winter as staging areas for winter sports but are ignored in summer months. These Sno-Parks make an excellent summertime retreat.

As a bonus Sno-Park use in the summer is FREE. In winter a parking permit is required to use the parks. This minimal fee is used to pay for snow removal and other costs. FREE summertime camping does have its price; the services are minimal. As a rule “Pack It In – Pack It Out” is the standard for most Sno-Parks.

The facilities and activities vary from park to park and most are suitable for family camping. In fact many Sno-Parks have large warming huts with wood stoves, tables & Lift Chairs and a few have facilities for electric hook-ups for portable generators. These large fully equipped parks are great for group get-togethers and parties. You can not reserve warming huts.

Sno-Parks are maintained by the USFS and are well kept and clean. Services vary by ranger district. Contact the district ranger station for details before leaving home. Some parks are winter staging areas only and not suitable for family camping. All parks have toilet facilities.

Sno-Parks were designed and located for the winter sports enthusiast. Snowmobile riders are the predominate users and snowmobile trails are abundant. Cross-country skiing and dog sled trails can be found in some areas. Most parks offer maps of these trails which can be hiked in summer months. Contact the district ranger station for map information.

In general summertime activities are minimal with hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and ATVs being the primary activity. As all these activities are not permitted in all areas; check with the district ranger station before leaving home. Water sports are rare and usually require travel. Remember these are not high use campgrounds; these are underused FREE summertime Sno-Park camping opportunities.
