  [Multi] David Cage not currently interested in the next generation of consoles
Posted by: LemonManX - Today 12:41 PM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2011-753498c6feec3f18c2c...022c37.jpg]

Recently the Unreal Engine 4 to the public with some shiny screenshots, this leaves us in a very strange limbo. With some developers pushing for the next generation to dawn and others pushing to continue this generation's decent run.

David Cage, famed for creating Heavy Rain, has emerged as a supporter for keeping this generation around for a little while longer. Speaking to Develop in a recent interview he had the following to say:

"But to be honest, I'm not that interested in technology or the next generation of consoles. If we could continue with PlayStation 3 for another five years it would be fine with me. I think the main challenges are on the creative side than on the technical side.

Are there technical things I can't do on PS3? Honestly, no. The limitation is much more about the ideas we have. When you look at the past, you realised that the technology evolved must faster than the concepts we rely on."


What do you guys think? I'm still on the fence really, with Nintendo releasing their catch-up console this year it could be nice if this current generation sticks around for a bit longer but I understand why some are eager to move forward as well.

Recently Quantic Dream revealed the tech demo for Kara, which isn't necessarily a game but it looks damn good for something running in real-time on the PlayStation 3.

  [3DS] Rayman: Origins finally gets a final release date for the 3DS
Posted by: LemonManX - Today 11:54 AM - No Replies

Sure, Rayman: Origins has been out for awhile now on nearly every other platform but finally the 3DS will be joining the party. Gamers who have no other platform but the 3DS to game on will be happy to know that Ubisoft's newest Rayman title will be hitting shelves on June 5.

Whilst the game itself might not be the best version of the game it is still definitely worth looking into if you have no other platforms to play it on. The demo is currently available on the Nintendo eShop and you can check out the launch trailer below.

  [Vita] Metal Gear Solid HD Collection officially dated for release on the Vita
Posted by: LemonManX - Today 06:29 AM - No Replies

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has been dated for release on Sony's PlayStation Vita. So if you can handle playing through both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 in HD with a distinct lack of Peace Walker then you'll want to mark your calendar for June 12.

So if you have a Vita and are complaining about a lack of games then you'll probably want to pick it up. Looks like things are starting to look up for Vita owners around the world.

  [PS3, Vita] First trailer for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time sneaks into the open
Posted by: LemonManX - Today 06:05 AM - No Replies

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time has been staying safely off the radar but as we approach E3 it makes sense that we'd hear more about it.

The biggest surprise? It will be coming to both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita with a cross-save feature to tie the two versions together. The Vita version will include some additional augmentations to take advantage of the hardware.

  [PS3, X360] Final encrypted Metal Gear Rising video has been revealed, shows torture
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 09:14 PM - No Replies

So, Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace has had a very bizarre viral marketing campaign through encrypted videos but now the final one has been revealed. Seemingly it shows a scene of torture that Jack (aka Raiden) is being forced to watch.

I don't really know what else to say, check out the video below and let us know what you think.


More details will come from Konami's pre-E3 show, which kicks off in 14 days. What are your hopes for Platinum Games' take on Kojima's franchise?

  [PS3] Sony to introduce a PSN pre-loading scheme
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 08:57 PM - Replies (3)

[Image: game-news-image-2012-c05ef7b5642cf57d412...eb840f.jpg]

Sick of having to wait until release day to download that huge PS3 game you pre-purchased? Do you wish it had a feature like Steam where you could pre-load the game so that you can jump in as soon as it unlocks for launch? If you answered 'yes' to this then you are in luck!

PlayStation 3 users will have access to a pre-load feature that will allow them to download games prior to their unlock date. The first game to make use of this will be the PlayStation Move enabled Sorcery, which releases next week.

Whilst it may seem silly to celebrate this when PC users have been enjoying this for awhile now it definitely signifies a step forward in the digital distribution of console gaming.

  [PC, PS3, Wii U, X360] New Darksiders 2 shows Death kicking ass
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 08:42 PM - No Replies

Everyone should know that you don't mess with Death. Unfortunately no one told the big guy in the new CG trailer for one of 2012's most anticipated releases. So hit 'play' below and find out what happens when you mess with War's brother.


Darksiders 2 is slated for release later this year (in August) for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with a Wii U yet to be confirmed.

  [PS3, X360] Ubisoft confirms Far Cry 3's multiplayer beta this Summer
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 08:33 PM - No Replies

Far Cry 3 looks pretty good and now Ubisoft have thrown open a multiplayer beta window for this Summer. So far it will only be running for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at this point and there will be limited keys available.

If you are interested in going in the running to win one of the 500 keys then you'll have to head over to the game's Facebook page and follow the prompts. Alternatively you can secure your inclusion by picking up Ghost Recon: Future Soldier from GameStop on May 22.

The beta will run for two weeks and will offer 16-player multiplayer matches, six classes and various maps / modes.

  [PC, PS3, X360] Del Toro's inSane still alive, THQ confirms
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 08:24 PM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2012-00e975cbcabd1cc7813...5db624.jpg]

inSane was announced awhile ago but has been pretty quiet ever since. All we know is that it is a new survival-horror game being put together with the help of Guillermo Del Toro. However, when THQ posted a huge loss and then we heard news about the efforts to find a new publisher for Devil's Third a lot of people were probably nervous.

That was until THQ's VP of Core Games, Danny Bilson, took to Twitter to ease everyone's fears.

“Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘inSane’ is not cancelled!”

Sounds like he was trying to scream that pretty loud, so we're happy to echo his words to ease the uncertainty that some may have been suffering. As a huge fan of survival-horror and Del Toro I'm quite happy that we have confirmation, hopefully it can stick to its 2013 release window.

  [E3'12, iOS] Debut trailer for Infinity Blade: Dungeons looks quite different
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 07:52 PM - Replies (1)

Everyone who has an iPhone / iPad should know what Infinity Blade is, heck even those with other smartphones should know. Well, now the series is going into uncharted territory and venturing into a more Diablo-flavoured world. GameTrailers has posted the debut trailer from this year's E3, which kicks off in a matter of weeks.


I enjoyed the original Infinity Blade games but I really enjoy the Diablo games, so let's hope it can take inspiration from both franchises and blend them together.

  [E3'12, Multi] Respawn will be at E3 but their game will be a no-show
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 11:36 AM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2012-83efa8db9d0c7c0d827...e28474.jpg]

We've been waiting a long time to see what exactly the studio that was created by the two former heads of Infinity Ward, sadly it seems we'll have to wait a little longer.

Abbie Heppe, Respawn's community manager, confirmed in an interview with Joystiq that whilst some of their employees will be present on the show floor they won't be showcasing any actual software.

We don't know what Respawn is working on. We've only seen the blurry screen shown at the top of this post and we know that it is an EA Partners title. What would you like to see them work on? I know I'm crossing my fingers for anything but another FPS.

  [PC, PS3, X360] Journey to Westeros in the Game of Thrones game this June in the UK
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 11:28 AM - Replies (1)

This week saw the release of the Game of Thrones role-playing game for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in America (you know, if you didn't get Diablo III or Max Payne 3). UK fans had been still waiting on a release date, thankfully they now have one to look forward to.

UK and Irish gamers will be able to journey to Westeros on multiple platforms as of June 8. You will cross paths with a few key characters from the popular series including Cersei Lannister, Qhorin Halfand (confirming this takes place prior to A Clash of Kings, additionally two actors reprising their roles (Lord Commander Jeoh Mormont and Lord Varys the Spider) from the HBO television series.

The game sees you playing as one of two characters. Mors, a Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch, and Alester, a Red Priest searching for redemption. The story was penned in conjunction with George R.R. Martin so it might be worth checking out. Quite frankly I can never have too much Iron Throne in my life, so I'll probably succumb and check it out.


Keep an eye our for further ravens about this game.

  [PC] Blizzard apologises for Diablo III launch hiccups, delays auction house
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 10:56 AM - Replies (1)

[Image: game-news-image-2012-5162eaa32b8f3366551...a8bb75.jpg]

If you have been playing Diablo III over the last few days then you have probably run into a few different errors. I feel lucky in knowing the only things that have halted by Diablo time is life commitments and the servers being down but I feel for those who have been having log-in issues, etc.

Blizzard want you to know that they aren't ignoring these troubles and are very apologetic about the launch. They posted a statement about the ridiculously busy launch period over on their official forum.

"To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm -- and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game's launch led to players experiencing error messages and difficulty logging in. These issues cropped up again last night for the Americas and Europe servers. Despite very aggressive projections, our preparations for the launch of the game did not go far enough."

They also reiterate that they are monitoring the situations 24/7 and have taken recent events into consideration, as a result they have decided to delay the release of the auction house beyond their original May 22 launch.

Have your efforts to slaughter ridiculous mobs of monsters been interrupted by the onslaught of errors?

  [X360] Forza Horizon's first screenshot released
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 10:44 AM - Replies (3)

We first heard of Forza Horizon back in March but we didn't really have anything to tease our eyes with. Flash forward to May and we still don't have much to tease our eyes with but we can stare at the first official screenshot.

[Image: game-news-image-2012-92ab93e8ad805e5e8ec...9d589e.png]

The image features the 2013 SRT Dodge Viper driving along some road on a flat highway. Pretty stimulating stuff, right? Anyway, we'll no doubt see more at E3 but for now this image is all you can stare at. Do you think that Playground's first attempt behind the wheel of this popular driving simulator will be a success?

  [Vita] Criterion are looking for a software engineer for a Vita title
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 10:36 AM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2012-96a9810264006979950...1ca3c5.jpg]

Superannuation spotted a job listing recently that points towards Criterion hiring for a PlayStation Vita project.

The job listing has been seemingly altered now, most likely to cover up the fact that they are bringing a game to the Vita. Previously the job listing states that they are seeking a software engineer experienced with "optimising and tuning the game resource system for the PS Vita." Now it reads, "Optimizing and tuning the game resource system for other platforms."

Big neon arrows are pointing towards the mysterious project being a Vita version of Need for Speed considering that Criterion were responsible for 2010's hit, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Furthermore, it is heavily expected that Criterion behind the new entry in the franchise due later this year. Expect an official announcement at E3 in a few weeks.

  [3DS, PS3] Debut trailer for strange cross-platform title, EX Troopers
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 10:19 AM - No Replies

Remember the story we reported yesterday detailing a 3DS / PS3 cross-platform release called Ex-Troopers. You probably thought we were crazy, heck even we thought we were crazy. That all changed when we saw the debut trailer...


Look, I'm not sure how to feel after seeing that. I know I definitely feel confused, can you pick some Lost Planet connections in there?

Expect this to come up at E3 in a few weeks.

  [PC, PS3, X360] Borderlands 2 special edition and SUPER special edition detailed
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 06:59 AM - Replies (1)

2K Games have announced that their upcoming co-op shooter, Borderlands 2, will ship with three different options for fans. There will be a vanilla edition, the Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector's Edition, and the Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition.

We'll skip over the vanilla version, since that will include only the game. Instead we'll continue straight to the Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector's Edition.

[Image: game-news-image-2012-2d8f2f17b8497c797aa...eaa5a6.jpg]

As you can see it includes an artbook, stickers, a map of Pandora, a digital comic download code, a Marcus Kincaid bobblehead and in-game DLC. This edition will set gamers back roughly $99 and will be available across all platforms.

[Image: game-news-image-2012-19399b28271884866ff...9bf062.jpg]

You can immediately see why this is the more expensive option. It contains the same content that you can get in the Vault Hunter Edition except for a few extra things. These include a scale replica of the classic Borderlands loot chest, a steel case, a creatures of Pandora ID chart, postcard set, field notes from Sir Hammerlock, and a cloth map of Pandora. This one will set you back a cool $149, so if you are willing to drop the cash you'll get some nice stuff.

Borderlands 2 is currently slated to hit retailers on the 18th of September later this year. It is looking like it'll be a damn good game as well, so we'll be keeping our eyes on it.

  [PC] Dear Esther crashes beyond the 100,000 sales mark
Posted by: LemonManX - Yesterday 06:25 AM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2012-ae3547afbae98fe4822...c8dd3b.jpg]

thechineseroom's Dear Esther is part of Steam's midweek madness this week. Additionally, it has been announced that the game has recently gone beyond 100,000 sales.

Official word on the landmark achievement came from Robert Briscoe, a developer who worked on Dear Esther.

"I have to admit I was a little unsure as to what to expect from sales of Dear Esther once we went to retail, we all were – there was no real benchmark to go by at the time, so I'm extremely pleased to see so many people enjoying the game, and most importantly, proving that gamers are open and eager to new ideas and experiences outside of the boundaries of 'traditional' gameplay. Thanks to everyone who has supported us through this journey, and who will hopefully continue to support us in the future!"

Congratulations to thechineseroom! I'm currently downloading Dear Esther as we speak and am very excited to take it for a spin.

  [PC, PS3, X360] BioWare wants you to contribute to Dragon Age 3 discussion
Posted by: LemonManX - 05-16-2012 08:10 PM - No Replies

[Image: game-news-image-2012-f00c3629e6b920aad5d...cb3c39.jpg]

Fans almost universally despised Dragon Age 2. Fair enough as well, it was less impressive than the original, Dragon Age: Origins, in essentially ever way.

Well, it looks like BioWare is trying to win some fans back by throwing open the doors and getting some discussion flowing. A new post on their site is encouraging gamers to drop by and get involved in some brainstorming for the inevitable Dragon Age 3.

"Beginning today, we’ll do a series of questions and discussions around Dragon Age. Consider this a conversation between fans, the community team, and the developers. Everyone at BioWare is incredibly excited about the future of the franchise but we’re interested in what you have to say. Every month, we will discuss a topic or question about Dragon Age and game development. You will have one week to post your thoughts, desires, and hopes before we close the thread for review. Moderators and developers will pop into the thread to chat every now and again, so keep an eye out."

Very cleverly they have iterated that they are taking ideas and not making promises. So if you want a chance to be heard by BioWare on the future of Dragon Age then you might want to swing by occasionally. BioWare also adds the following disclaimer, whilst stating they won't be showing anything until their ready.

""And as a last bit of housekeeping, the purpose of these exercises isn't crowd sourcing or soliciting your game dev concepts (keep those close in case you want to make a game someday!). This should remain a discussion between BioWare and fans about what you loved about Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 - what this franchise means to you."

This weeks question asks you what you'd like to see and learn about in the Dragon Age world.
