EA Redwood Shores Dead Space team to get a new name

It’s not just reshaping their products that the team of developers at EA Redwood Shores are looking into. Head honcho Glenn Schofield disclosed in an interview with Variety that yes, they are indeed looking into the legal matter of changing their name.

But before you all go thinking that EA will no longer be EA, hear the explanation first. According to reports, it’s not exactly the whole EA offices that will be getting a new identity. Rather, it will just be the developers who are working on Dead Space and specialize in third person action adventures. So you see, it’s not a blanket makeover after all.

We’re not hearing of any “Give-our-company-a-new-name” contest, but if you had your way, what would you like it to be?

Wii Homebrew – Trojan Wii v1.1

This here is the Trojan Wii v1.1 created by Jon Conrad. It is a Trojan LCD game simulator, and it runs on PC, OSX, NDS, Wii and the original Xbox. That’s multifunctional for you.

He wrote this brew using SDL so that it can be ported easily. According to him, OSX was the easiest to port, while the PC and Visual Studio were the most difficult to deal with. And as he was only interested in the gameplay element, he did not bother simulating the date or time function anymore. Do enjoy!

Namco Bandai TGS 08 lineup: Nobi Nobi Boy to make public appearance

It’s been a full year since we heard anything about Namco Bandai’s stretchy title for the PS3, Nobi Nobi Boy. I say “stretchy” because not only does the character literally stretches his body at will, the developers also obviously had to stretch their imaginations quite a bit to come up with another strange goodness after Katamari Damacy.

And now after a long bout of silence, Namco Bandai has announced that it will finally be making a public appearance at the Tokyo Game Show 2008, albeit in video form only. At least we know the project is still alive.

Anyway, we’re betting that this is sure to make headlines in the TGS, but that doesn’t mean this is the only title from Namco Bandai’s booth that will be worth checking out. Here’s the list of games to be showcased, with those with asterisk to be playable:

New independent studio Robomodo working on “high-profile extreme sports title”

What happens after a development team gets dissolved? Sometimes they get shuttled off to other projects. Sometimes they get together, come up with a cool name and logo, and go independent.

The people behind Robomodo chose the second option. The company is made up of 27 industry veterans from the now-dissolved EA Chicago, majority of whom worked on Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox360, PSP, PS3). That’s what Robomodo president John Tsui revealed to Gamasutra.

What Tsui didn’t reveal was the game Robomodo is currently working on. The studio’s site says that it’s working on “a high-profile extreme sports title for Activision Blizzard“. Now what does that make me think of?

Skateboards.

There were rumblings a few months ago that Neversoft wasn’t going to be attached to the next game in the franchise, which has so far been tentatively known as Tony Hawk’s Adrenaline. Nobody’s confirmed this yet, but it’s a pretty good bet that the next Tony Hawk game will have that cool robot logo on its cover somewhere. We’ll just have to wait and see.

• Rumors: Details on Guitar Hero 4 bundle, Call of Duty 5 box art, and new Tony Hawk title
• Neversoft out, Robomodo in for Tony Hawk series?
