Rockstar Games may be celebrating the success of Red Dead Redemption but its next sequel, Max Payne 3, will not be released before October 31st, parent Take-Two has confirmed tonight.
The third game in Rockstar's series will now debut as part of the publisher's 2011 financial year - it was originally expected to have arrived sometime this year.
Take-Two didn't confirm timings for the game, so it could still launch in November or December this year.
That said, it's not all delays at Rockstar - Take-Two this evening also confirmed that L.A. Noire, the '40s thriller published by Rockstar and developed by Australian team Team Bondi, will be out by October.

CLK Rebellion released Xlaunch.fdf Editor:
[QUOTE]
This is a tool intended for devkits, and it allows you to edit your xlaunch.fdf file (which is where all of the images and other files for the dev launcher are held, plus a few extra like the Xbox 360 logo for some reason...).

Quite simple, just load your xlaunch.fdf file from your flash, edit the file you want to edit, and voila.

Don't be an idiot and replace files with a different extension than the one you chose to overwrite it with.

!Update: New version! Had to fix a few bugs.

Crazymike released a new version of Zouzzz' OrganiseLazouzzz, an organizer for LIVE, PIRS and CON files.

What's new/fixed:
* Version 1.0 supported 32 characters in the title, so I changed it to 55. I needed it to help label title updates, as the original version was cutting off most of the text.

The PlayStation brand has always enjoyed a strong following in Europe and, in particular, the UK but Microsoft’s VP of interactive entertainment business for EMEA Chris Lewis has revealed why it remains one of his firm’s key territories, too.
“We don’t break out figures by country, but the UK continues to be a very strong market for us with the highest attach rate in the world,” he told MCV in an exclusive interview in this Friday’s magazine.
“In the face of price drops, new form factors and massive marketing expenditure by the competition, Xbox 360 still grew full-year market share in EMEA from 2008 to 2009.
“In November, we also celebrated selling 10 million consoles into customers’ homes in EMEA. Our games attach rate remains the highest in the industry, by an increasing margin, which makes us both an enviable platform and a great partner for publishers and retailers alike.”
MCV has spoken to each of the three platform holders in its E3 Special Edition, which will be circulated at the LA event next week. To read the interviews in full, make sure you check MCV magazine this Friday.
