EA Draws Inspiration from Call of Duty Elite

Posted Feb 3, 2012 at 3:47PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, battlefield, call of duty elite, EA, mass effect 3, modern warfare 3, mw3

Despite an ongoing rivalry, EA has nothing but positive remarks for the “games as services” philosophy Activision has adapted.

Call of Duty Elite is a premium subscription service that launched with Modern Warfare 3. The service comes with a few perks, such as future DLC packs and advanced clan support. And while many gamers lamented CoD Elite as yet another cash grab, Electronic Arts sees it as an opportunity in the making.

In an earnings call with investors this morning, EA CEO John Riccitiello fired off a quick compliment to Activision, EA’s primary competition in the FPS market. He noted that adding a subscription to an FPS game (MW3) was a “best-in-class performance,” and that EA would be looking for similar ways to further monetize its franchises. Battlefield Elite, anyone?

The “games as services” movement is picking up steam, with companies like Activision leading the charge. Publishers are on the hunt for any method of expanding revenue, and the massive success of CoD Elite has gone a long way towards proving that the subscription model works.

What do you think? Would you pay for a CoD Elite-type service on Battlefield or Mass Effect 3?

Pushmo/Pullblox hits Nintendo’s European eShop

Posted Dec 6, 2011 at 3:35PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: advance wars, catherine, hiku-osu, nintendo eshop, pullblox, pushmo

The newest game from Advance Wars developer Intelligent Systems drops for Nintendo 3DS systems later this week.

Exciting news for European fans of the Advance Wars franchise: Intelligent Systems, the company behind those fun, time-eating games, is prepped to drop their newest title directly to Nintendo’s European eShop. The game, which goes by the name Hiku-Osu in Japan, Pushmo in North America and now Pullblox in the European market, should be available later this week for direct download.

The game is your basic puzzler with a story thrown in – Mallo, the hero of the game, must rescue kids from his Pushmo park by solving increasingly complex block puzzles. If you played Catherine (or its demo), you’ll probably find the puzzle mechanic familiar. Basically, you have to slide blocks through a semi-3D space in order to create a stairway to the top of the structure.

Actually, here, just watch this. It’s easier than explaining the thing:

Hiku-Osu/Pullblox/Pushmo is priced at £5.40 on the Euro eShop; not too shabby for a game with 250 levels and a level editor. It’s certainly not a brand new Advance Wars title, but it looks like an interesting puzzler from a company with a very solid track record.

What do you think?

Trese Brothers Drop a Brand New Android Game

Posted Oct 31, 2011 at 1:44PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: android market, cyber knights, star traders, templar assault

The developers of the massively popular Star Traders and Cyber Knights have created an all-new game for the Android Market, titled Templar Assault.

The Android Marketplace doesn’t seem to get much love from the gaming press, which is a shame considering the high number of great titles available for gamers that have opted to ignore iOS devices. Two of the most successful games for Android game in the form of Star Traders and Cyber Knights, both developed by a two-man team of brothers. As of today, you can add a third title to their resume: Templar Assault.

If you’re a fan of strategy games, Templar Assault is likely right up your alley. The game is a squad-based, turn-based strategy RPG that works similar in description to Advance Wars – i.e. players move units across the map and use them to attack other units. The game is packed with upgrades and unlockables, as an RPG should be, and promises at least a few hours of game time.

You can pick up Templar Assault on the Android Market right now, completely free of charge. As has become the custom, the Trese Brothers have made the game free to download, at least at first. They usually upgrade to a paid version once they’re finished with development.

So if you’ve got some time to kill but no money to spend, Templar Assault could be the perfect solution for a boring Monday afternoon.

What other awesome Android games haven’t received their due respect?

Devs explain why Brink will take you to the edge

Posted Mar 10, 2011 at 9:49PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: brink, richard ham, Splash Damage

Brink is Splash Damage's first ever original IP to come out in the FPS market, and they're reassuring us that this game will take you to a world you've never seen before.

Talking to CVG in a comprehensive sit-down interview, Creative Director Richard Ham gives more than just a few enlightening remarks about Brink, from making their first ever own IP and bringing it to the FPS market, to his opinion on the shape of the industry today.

Splash actually worked on some really big titles previously, such as Doom 3 (with id Software) and Territory Quake Wars (with Never Software and Underground Development), both for the PC. Brink then is their first official original IP.

"Wolfenstein Territory was obviously in the Wolfenstein universe, we helped out on Doom 3 and then we did Enemy Territory Quake Wars for the PC. Enemy Territory Quake Wars for the PC was a prequel to the Quake universe, it kind of charted the mechanical alien invasion of Earth."

"So we had to do concept art for everything from scratch; new Earth environments, new characters, but we didn't have to write the story, we didn't have to create it from the very beginning.

So Brink is the first game where, when I sat down and wrote the high-concept at the very beginning I was basing it on an idea for a setting that I felt was really unique, was really quite different from anything anyone else had worked on."

With all the other FPS games out there right now, what would separate Brink from the rest of the pack? How does he feel about the current state of the FPS market?

For Ham, he still finds the shooter market as the biggest in the world, on the Big 3 platforms (PC, Xbox 360, PS3). The important thing is that they continuously try to ramp it up with "something new, something unique, something different, something that they haven't seen before."

"For Brink, we have four or five firsts, in our past certainly -- I can't really speak for the competition. We wanted to massively advance the way that you move in a shooter. So we have a new system called SMART: you can now slide and vault and mantle and climb.

This is pretty significant not least because when you go and play another shooter afterwards it's incredibly frustrating when you can't jump a wall, vault over something, clamber something, because it's a system that's about moving and shooting."

This new SMART system, he says, is "a big part of the game for us." It should also be a first "for shooters to have that depth and aesthetic and gameplay effect in weapon and ability to customization in a shooter."

All in all, he says he feels pretty good about what they've accomplished with Brink "because we've got this world people haven't seen before that you experience persistently, that you can play through with a movement system that's different from the stuff that everyone else has done."

"Most importantly you can experience it in single-player, or co-operative, or full versus mode battles with a kind of smart approach to networking and playing with friends, that is just not possible with any other game on the market today."

He does, however, have reservations claiming that their AI is the best ever. "What we've come to expect from first person shooters is that , while sat on a mine cart, I have the hit detection box the size of a fridge, as do all the characters areound me so, if I shoot towards them, I hit them no matter how far away my shot is within that box..."

"Well none of that is what happens in real life or what real humands do. They might do it in the movies, which unfortunately is one of the biggest sources of inspiration for the way we do things in videogames. But if you wnat to see how humans move in the environment, wath the way they move in the environment in multiplayer.

So in Brink we wanted your single-player experience to be realistic and to represent what was going to happen when you started playing co-operatively with other players."

Brink, the FPS featuring parkour-inspired movement, is scheduled to come out in the US on May 17th, while Europe should get it on May 20th. The game will be featuring Steamworks integration, as well as the Valve Anti-Cheat syste
