Fable II DLC delayed

Knothole Island add-on to Lionhead's best-seller pushed back to late January; Microsoft fingers "unexpected technical difficulties" as culprit.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy descends mid-2009

Square Enix gives its PlayStation Portable 3D fighter a vague North American release window. Given that each major installment in the Final Fantasy franchise features its own self-contained universe, fans of the series haven't had many chances to see their favorites from different games interact. However, that's set to change next year. Square Enix announced today that its franchise-spanning fighting game Dissidia: Final Fantasy is set for a "midyear 2009" North American release.

OutRun racing onto 360, PS3

Sumo Digital developing downloadable Online Arcade iteration of Sega's famed Ferrari franchise; release set for early 2009. Sega has a wealth of vintage arcade hits to mine for new material. But as Alien Syndrome and Golden Axe: Beast Rider have shown, classic roots don't always make for critically acclaimed revivals. Yep, that's OutRun. One Sega nostalgia trip that has proven successful has been the publisher's resurrection of the OutRun franchise. Sega tapped Sumo Digital to handle development on the series, and the studio responded with such critical successes as 2004's OutRun2 for the Xbox and OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PC.

Metal Gear Solid touches iPhone, iPod

Konami confirms Kojima's stealth actioner will join Frogger, Silent Hill, Dance Dance Revolution on Apple's handhelds in 2009. Last week, a teaser page on Konami's Web site led many to speculate that the Japanese publisher was working on bringing the Metal Gear Solid franchise to the Xbox 360, reviving the Metal Gear Acid brand, or even porting the long-running series to the Wii. However, those predictions have turned out to be off base.

Appeal sees refused classification status of F.E.A.R. 2 overturned in Australia; uncut version of game rated as MA15+.

Metallica talks Guitar Hero: Metallica

Oddly enough, if Activision Blizzard were to be asked today about the status of Guitar Hero: Metallica, the company would likely demur. However, that doesn't change information gleaned from a Securities and Exchange Commission filing and a Guitar Hero World Tour trailer, which both officially confirm the game and point to an early 2009 release. In an interview this week with USA Today, Neversoft lead designer Alan Flores joined guitarist Kirk Hammet and drummer Lars Ulrich to provide further details on Guitar Hero: Metallica. The trio also addressed a few of the particulars of the upcoming rhythm game, namely noting that the game will be extremely challenging.

Midway trims fat, cuts to the bone

Mortal Kombat and Wheelman publisher to lay off 25 percent of workforce, close Austin studio, cease development on multiple unannounced titles. Earlier this month, Midway Games lost its highest-profile supporter when media mogul Sumner Redstone ditched his majority stake in the publisher for just $100,000. That triggered change-of-ownership clauses in the company's loans, allowing creditors to demand repayment of $150 million within 30 days.

Atari breaks Konami bond down under

That partnership will soon come to an end, however, with Atari Australia today confirming that it was discontinuing its current relationship with Konami.

Absent from the proceedings, of course, is the PlayStation 3 edition of the game, which EA placed on indefinite hold in June for unspecified reasons. PS3 owners can now take heart, however, as EALA's David Silverman has confirmed for VideoGamer that the title is indeed still on for Sony's console.
