Gamespy's shutdown, Bioshock the movie, Dragon Age: Inquisition - we're covering all that
and more on this week's edition of the Curse Weekly Roundup.
With the recent announcement that online matchmaking client Gamespy is shutting down, 2K reassured
fans that the Civilization and Borderlands series will stay online - they'll be migrating
to Steamworks after a temporary downtime during the transition.
Many other publishers have also announced that many of their titles will service the
GameSpy shutdown, but unfortunately Crysis and Crysis 2 did not make the cut.
Meaning that as of May 31st when the service officially closes, you will no longer be able
to play Crysis and Crysis 2 multiplayer.
If you're desperate to save these titles, however, there is an online petition urging
EA and Crytek to find an alternate matchmaking provider, we'll link you to that in the video
description.
Well, it's that time of year again - time to dust off your swim trunks and hit the beach
because spring is here!
Oh wait, no, time to stay inside F5ing every gaming news outlet you follow because the
first teaser image for the next Call of Duty game has been revealed.
Neat.
It's a soldier.
And his nose.
Seriously, look at that thing.
That's awesome, and gives us so much information about the next title.
Anyway, Sledgehammer Games is the developer of this next title, to be released Fall of
2014.
A Bioshock movie may be on its way - Monday brought news that Sony Pictures had registered
several web domains including Bioshock-Movie.com and Bioshock-Movie.net.
Evidently a bioshock movie was in the works back in 2011, with Pirates of the Caribbean
director Gore Verbinski to direct the film.
It was set to be rated R, but after another R-rated movie that year, The Watchmen, was
a box office failure, the Bioshock movie was scrapped.
Now there's speculation that the movie could be back on the horizon, but there's no word
yet on whether 2K or Irrational has anything to do with the domains that Sony registered.

The Xbox One finally has a release date in Japan - September 4th.
Yup, almost 10 months after it launched in the west, and 7 months after the PS4's Japanese
release.
No news yet on the price point in Japan, but with E3 just around the corner, we'll probably
find out soon.
That's it for the news this week!
