News Snatch: PES 2014, Flappy Bird, Killzone Shadow Fall And #GameFood

inFamous Second Son is out today and here is a behind the scenes look into SCEA’s music studio and their efforts behind producing the soundscape for the game.

Movie news: the Splinter Cell film is about to get a director in the shape of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Bourne Identity helmsman, Doug Liman. British totty Tom Hardy is set to star with filming scheduled for August and a release next year.

Konami has announced new DLC content for PES 2014 with an all-new World Challenge mode featuring a new International Cup.

Rare have been released from the shackles of making Kinect games, studio head Craig Duncan has said there is a “very open conversation” about returning to their previous IPs.

News That Is Not News: Sledgehammer Games cofounder Glen Schofield has said their Call of Duty game is the “most ambitious, most creative game we’ve ever made.”

Your next game is the best you have ever created? Are you sure? I’ve never heard a developer say that before! I must write that up and post it!

If you have an hour or so to spare, put your feet up and watch Free to Play, a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament.

Killzone Shadow Fall is to get random yellow crates in the multiplayer portion of the game. Shoot them for points and to unlock new Player Card Icons.

Woo. Yay. Also: Meh.

Much to the annoyance of the stupid people who paid thousands of pounds for an iPhone with the game, the original Flappy Bird is coming back to iTunes.

A new trailer for Murdered: Soul Suspect featuring some excellent hats.

Edd Joseph, a graphic designer from Bristol, spent £80 on a second hand PlayStation 3 via Gumtree but it never arrived. To extract his revenge he has sent the seller 22 plays written by Shakespeare including Macbeth and Othello, and he has sent each play via text message to the sellers phone, almost 18,000 texts.

“It just occurred to me you can copy and paste things from the internet and into a text message,” he told the Bristol Post. The Gumtree seller has responded with abusive texts and phonecalls.

Edd only has to press ‘send’ once per play and his phone then processes each page into individual texts. As he is on unlimited texts and calls package it is not costing him a penny.

“I tried to ask him if he was enjoying the plays, but he was very confused,” Mr Joseph added. “I’m going to keep doing it. If nothing else I’m sharing a little bit of culture with someone who probably doesn’t have much experience of it.”

Is this the fabled Amazon console game controller? Venturebeat seem to think so. Ugly little bugger, isn’t it?

Previous Snatches have featured banter between the Codies and Sega but now everyone is joshing along together using the hashtag #GameFood. Isn’t it nice when they all get along?
