Chris Taylor from Gas Powered Games has reportedly stated that the team-based strategy PC title Demigod will probably end up on consoles after its initial release. When asked about the possibility of it being only a PC exclusive Taylor stated:

“That is actually up in the air. You could easily see that on the console. That’s got a very high likelihood of going to console.”

Taylor also reiterated SEGA’s comments on the possibility of Space Siege coming to consoles versions, and all but refused to rule out the idea. Rumors of this have been circulating the Internet for almost a month now, and William informed us of said rumors earlier this month. Although Taylor stated that: “There’s been no official word. No definite there… Anything can happen of course, in the future”, the hemhawing around of developers in the past have proven to be admissions of truth, because usually if it is only a rumor without substantial proof, they are usually quick to kill it.

Chris Taylor also stated that while Gas Powered Games has some other projects currently in development, he was keeping his lip zipped until E3 2008 where at least one project will be revealed. Could this be the next Supreme Commander expansion? Possibly, because they do have something in the works, but refuse to discuss it.

So what all of the “yes”, “maybe” and “no comment” statements mean is that Demigod and Space Siege will more than likely grace consoles next year and we can expect a Supreme Commander “expansion”, “new title”, or “who knows what” in the future as well. Don’t you just love it when developers give vague answers? All it does is lead to more internet rumors which do nothing but annoy the masses.

Shawn Green, the associate producer of Space Siege , apparently told VG247 that the game may be under consideration for console versions. The game is currently published by Sega and developed by Gas Powered Games. The action RPG will be released for the PC sometime in September, 2008.

“We’re talking with them about it,” said Green. “We don’t want to let any cats out of the bag too early but definitely a console version is something that’s being considered right now. But currently it’s not confirmed.”

Gas Powered Games is known for it’s titles like Dungeon Seige and Supreme Commander where plot and character development are an afterthought in these mechanized games played out on a large scale. GPG is ready to get personal with its new title Space Siege. The upcoming sci-fi action title promises to deliver a solid character and story with the addicting game play its known for. The studio has promised it won’t go overboard with too many words and verbose cut scenes. That’s a relief because although I appreciate a story, this is a dungeon hack in space… and if I wanted more of it I wouldn’t be playing this type of game.

Space Siege is the latest in the Gas Powered Siege series - this time instead of drab underground dungeons, players will take to space with a pet robot to fend off the typical invading space aliens. GPG has to evolve the game a bit, since Dungeon Siege and DS II were both very traditional 3D dungeon crawls while maintaining the addictive gameplay and item collection.

I spent a lot of time in the generic fantasy setting and I suspect I’ll do the same with the generic space setting. Though I’m worried they might make too many changes to the basic formula and thus move away from what I’ve come to think of as a “Siege” game.via Rock, Paper, Shotgun

While I’m not the biggest fan of Microsoft’s creed of “one platform to rule them all”, it is always nice to see some PC lovin’ regardless of a certain title’s decision to join forces with ‘The Empire’. Microsoft announced at CES yesterday nine titles to be branded with the Game for Windows logo. Here are the contestants:

 
Other upcoming titles (worth mentioning) that will also bear the GfW branding are: “Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures” (Funcom, Eidos Interactive), “Borderlands” (2K Games), “The Club” (SEGA), “Fallout 3” (Bethesda Softworks) and “Frontlines: Fuel of War” (THQ).

Here’s a new trailer for the upcoming RPG, Space Siege. The game will put characters in the role of Seth Walker, a robotics specialist suddenly tasked with saving humanity from extinction. To accomplish this however, you’ll have the option to outfit Seth with a variety of cybernetic upgrades. The price for this though, is a loss of his humanity, which alienates him from the people he’s trying to save. The story will be molded based on how much of Seth’s humanity is stripped from him, as will the difficulty of his missions. This looks like one game to keep an eye on until it is released some time next year.
