FF13, Diablo 3, Dead Space 2 updates.

February 6th 2010 07:25

Dead Space Intenses
Nick Earl, head of Visceral Games, has explained Dead Space’s new intensity of gameplay to IGN. It brings up memories of Resident Evil 4’s departure from the “Survival Horror” to “Action Horror” genre.

"I can tell you that we're a little more focused on action horror as opposed to survival horror.” Nick Earl said.

Nick Earl also said the game is going to blow expectations in terms of the game’s environment and interactivity. Could this be a challenge to the massive Mass Effect 2, also set in space?


Gender indifference in Diablo 3
IGN also released the latest episode of the Jace Hall Show, revealing the female version of the Monk class in much-anticipated action RPG: Diablo 3.


Final Fantasy 1“3”-disks
Square Enix has confirmed Final Fantasy 13 will be on 3 disks for the 360 version to games website: VG247, but still coming on one blu-ray disk on the PS3.

It brings back fond memories of the cliff hanger endings of each disk in Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9.


Upcoming games to look out this month! Especially on February 11 (Next Thursday)

09/02/10

BioShock 2
PS3, PC and 360
Given a positive review by IGN, its the sequel to one of the most atmospheric FPS shooters in the past decade.

11/02/10

Phantasy Star 0
DS
It’s the pocket version of a mediocre but established RPG franchise.

MAG
PS3
For gamers that love to strategise in teams and want a break from the Gung-Honess of Modern Warfare 2

Bleach: The 3rd Phantom
DS
It’s a strategy, grid-based version (ala Final Fantasy Tactics or even Disgaea
) of one of the biggest Anime/Manga series at this moment.

Sonic 4 Announced!

February 5th 2010 05:31

It's been 16 years since Sonic 3, and after several 3D spin offs that has brought credibility to Sega's mascot to an all time low, Sonic 4 is coming to the PS3, Wii and 360 as downloadable content.

A trailer has been released, giving a brief history lesson of Sonic's 2D glory days and finishing with a 3D Sonic racing through a loop collecting rings in the Green Hill Zone on a 2D plane.The game is going to be released this Summer 2010... However it is yet to be confirmed for an Australian release date.

Its going to be episodic, as you can tell by the title, and Sonic will be the only playable character. Going back to the old ways may signal Sega's realisation that Sonic is not built for the 3D world.

PS3 games website, PSX Extreme, comments on rival games website, Computer and Video Games, on how two magazines have broken the game's embargo date, which allegedly breaks on February 10.

Heavy Rain is a spiritual sequel to Fahrenheit - > its defining feature is the impact the player can make on future events based on their actions in the present.

A quick look on Wikipedia shows 3 reviews for Heavy Rain, two giving it a 9/10 and GamesMaster (a UK games magazine) giving it 91%

An embargo date signals the time video game reporters can divulge once (before the date) secret information about a game to the public.

Divulging how positive the game is can possibly allude to dealings to get the game as much good publicity before its release (on February 25 in Australia).

Does PSX Extreme agree with a positive rating to the game? Read on February 10 to find out!

OMG Big Sister! I wonder if they would add her as the new figurine for Bioshock 2's collectors edition?

I wouldn't be surprised if you get to play a existing survivor in Rapture that hasn't gone crazy this time. It would be a good concept to flesh out the intriguing backstory to the first game.

Awesome! Another installment to a series hardcore action fans can rejoice too!

I guess mass production over quality sums up both Guitar Hero and Rock Band sets.

After a second look, it looks like Pro Street just opened the gates from the track.

Going undercover aye? Could this mean when your caught you don't have to pay for bail?

Personally this looks like Most Wanted gameplay with a high-end slab of Pro Street paint to make it all pretty and thats totally fine with me.

on Wii Fit is driving men crazy

June 8th 2008 10:46
LOL what will those marketing firms think of next?

It was clever, but was stupid not to tell the girl in the clip without consent.

It would have been good if it weren't for the seediness involved.

on New Resident Evil 5 trailer encourages rumours

June 5th 2008 05:11
I've just read that RE5 will be stumbling its way to your 360 around early 2009!

It is still a way off but at least it will be coming in less than a year.

I just try to remain positive that the game is stewing in development so that I wouldn't be disappointed once it comes out, at least the new trailer is evidence enough that the game is coming along well.

I've read on joystiq that it won't be the last metal gear game, but it will be the end for Snakes story.

This would be THE game to give a perfect reason to own a PS3. Sadly i'm still saving up to buy one!
