Yes, according to Kotaku, Ricardo Torres has confirmed that Ryan Davis has handed in his resignation. I don't even have words right now. I just thought you should know if you hadn't already seen it.

I'll edit this when I can collect some thoughts together.

Here is a short, and new tech demo of Heavy Rain for the PS3:

I set it to Sinatra's Angel Eyes...creepy...

Take notice of the way the eyes move. The way they dart and twitch. I dare say that not a soul alive could tell that those eye's were not human if you weren't privied to the knowledge already.

The video is more of a recruitment flick then anything else. Quantic Dream seams to be saying "You know that crap you're working on? It doesn't look half as good as this. Come work for us!" Hell if I was a game programmer I'd jump at the chance, but sadly my coding skills are limited to a "Hello World" app I build in java.

Still though dam...I'd move to France to work for them If I got a chance at seeing this game early.

Baguettes and wine for all.

Fin!

I apologize.

I've been taking from this community and not giving back. I read your blogs and watch your videos and have submitted nothing in return except form some random comments here and there. I won't make any excuses; I was wrong. I was wrong to be so selfish. In my haste I never really thought about who I should have been angry at in the first place. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on the community, it should have been directed at C|Net.

As of now all game related postings will be mirrored. It's unfair of me to ask you to visit some external site for the content I produce. Just because I want some of it housed on a neutral space doesn't mean it can't also be here. My other site will still be around, and will still contain blog postings that I believe do not fit with GS' type or attitude.

I was being selfish.

I realise this.

I'm sorry.

All new blog post are housed here.

Yesterday we discussed the possibility of Jeff collaborating with Gamespot founder Vince Broady (who recently departed yahoo) on a new web space. Today I bring you even more fuel for the fire. IGN has started a new podcast that aims to get the leading game related people in one place for the purpose of a mega talent show. The podcast features: Dan Hsu the EIC of EGM, Francesca Reyes the EIC of OXM, Jeff Gerstmann former EIC of Gamespot, Will Tuttle Gamespy's console division EIC and Jeremy Dunham who is IGN's game editoral manager. It is a good show that was highlighted by the groups ability to know literary everything about video games. If you have not listened to it you should spend an hour treating your ears.

________________________________________________________________

The most interesting portion of the podcast comes at the end where Jeremy Dunham asked Jeff what his plans are for the future. The following is a verbatim transcript of that discussion.

Jeremy: I know everybody wants to know what are you doing next...what's going on?

Jeff: I'm currently talking to some old friends and we're going to see what comes outta that.

Jeff: ...but nothing ready to announce just yet

Jeff: ...but if you want to stay current with me and know what I'm doing when we are ready to start talking jeffgerstmann.net

________________________________________________________________

The plot yet again thickens. "Old friends" could be anybody, but I'm willing to bet Jeff is speaking about 1 or 2 people; specifically Alex and Vince. Alex stated on the Hotspot last night that he won't be going away, and that we will see him around. If you put all these pieces together it seams to fit the mold of what this current rumor is all about.

Suddenly this rumor has not only legs, but a full grown torso.

Back and to the left.
