Who could be throwing their hat into the console ring?

Posted Mar 4, 2012 at 10:15AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Gabe Newell, GDC, steam box, steam rumors

Valve could be announcing Steam Box at GDC

What in the hell is Valve doing?

GDC is going on at the moment and I have a few friends checking it out, pitching games and showing off their work but with all the rumours flying around at the San Fran convention, I'd hate to be a Valve employee right now.

The great big PC developer and probably one of the only game studios who I respect and will follow till they release Half Life 3 and with the idea of making a console, looks like I better start saving up.

Steam Box is the tentative title that everyone is dubbing it on the interwebs but i tlooks like Valve may throw their hat into the console ring and I think that the only way it will sell is if they make Half Life 3 exclusive to PC and their console...it will be the highest selling console ever.

The rumours were fueled that the company have been toying with the idea of creating a proper set-top console that could pose a threat to not only current-gen but next-gen consoles. Valve co-founder recently told the guys at Penny Arcade that if they had to sell hardware, they will. This could easily just have meant Valve branded graphics cards or just some cool memorabilia like keyboards, mice or even headphones but if they make Steam Box...the world of video games may change forever.

The story was broken over the weekend withG The VergeGFC

Man vs. Machine Breaks FPS World Record

Posted Jan 31, 2012 at 3:41PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: man vs. machine, muchdifferent, planetside, world record

Did you know there’s a Guinness Record for most players online in an FPS? There is!

Browser-based first-person shooter Man vs. Machine may not have the hard numbers of a Call of Duty or a Battlefield, but it does have one thing no other shooter can claim – the Guinness-confirmed World Record for most simultaneous players in a match. Because that’s totally a thing.

The previous record, set by Planetside, was 600 players. Man vs. Machine demolished the old record with an astounding 999 concurrent players, all gleefully blasting each other into debris. Sadly, MuchDifferent, the studio behind the game and the event, fell just shy of their actual goal of 1,000 players.

The CEO of MuchDifferent, Christian Lönnholm, had nothing but positive comments regarding the event. He celebrated the lag-free performance of the title, and the sheer fun of so many players competing at once. He did lament missing the record, but was absolutely pleased by the massive turnout and the strong performance of the game under such stress.

What’s the largest online match you’ve ever been in? Would you want to compete with 998 other players at once?

New Command and Conquer will be a browser MMO

Posted Dec 19, 2011 at 7:30AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: MMORPG, PC Gaming Tags: browser mmo, c&c, command and conquer, ea games, mmo, tiberium alliances

New Command and Conquer will be an MMO

Tiberium Alliance will test your friends and your enemies

The Command and Conquer series, whilst never stale, had gone into a bit of a routine when it came to RTS games. The Red Alert 3 spinoffs and challenges had sold incredibly well for EA Games, but where were they to go next? Into playing with everyone apparently. The Free-to-play MMO started it's closed beta a few days ago and word has it that the game is fantastic.

The Generals franchise will be rebooted next year with the help of the guys at Bioware and Tiberium Alliances will be officially out next year. The new MMO is set in the Tiberian continuity which started back in the late 90's with Tiberium Sun. In the game players will fight together and build bases as apart of the on-going war against the mutants.

The game is developed by EA Phenomic, which developed the Spellforce, BattleForge and Lord of Ultima series. The game has been going on without a hitch so far and this is pretty good from EA who have in the past been known not to go too well with MMO's.

The thing I'm quite excited about which could push towards the realm of televised e-sports. Tiberium Alliances will boast live status streams and real-time news updates, forcing players to react to situations as they unfold. The game is actually built with HTML 5 technology, so the game can be accessed by standard web browsers and mobile devices alike, making it the first real big studio MMO on the go.

Play Bastion in Your Browser

Posted Dec 9, 2011 at 6:24PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: bastion, chrome, native client, supergiant games

One of the most beautiful games in recent memory can now be played directly in your web browser.

You have to give it to Google – they’re certainly pushing the limits when it comes to developing online technologies. Their last round of innovation, known as Native Client, allows high-end programs to run on the simple Chrome browser through some sort of coding magic that I’m clearly not smart enough to understand.

However Native Client works, it has created an environment that allows Chrome to become a window through which top-notch games are played. And SuperGiant Games seems to be the first major developer onbard, announcing that they’ve ported their hit arcade game Bastion to the service.

Naturally, your system specs still play a large role in how well the game plays, but having it wired through the browser means you can access the game from practically anywhere. Check it out in the Chrome Web Store to get an idea of how well it runs on your system – if you like what you see, you can pick the game up for $14.99.

Bastion is more of an experience than a game, and if you haven’t played it, I would highly recommend you give it a shot, if not in Chrome then through Steam or XBLA. In the meantime, it’s going to be interesting to watch how developers use Google’s latest bit of technology – perhaps more big titles will see release soon?

BF3 Origin Requirement Already Hacked Out

Posted Nov 2, 2011 at 1:31PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: bf3, EA, origin

EA’s plan to demand Origin accounts for Battlefield 3 access doesn’t seem to have worked out as they planned.

Battlefield 3 was a massive, massive launch, with 5 million copies sold in the first week. While the majority of players were able to get into the game fairly easily, a significant number reported major problems with EA’s Origin service. One report I read had nearly 30 steps taken by the player just to fire the game up for the first time. These problems seem to have fallen mostly on PC gamers, though console owners did have a bit of issue with crashing Origin servers blocking new registrations.

EA’s plan, of course, was to loop new players into their proprietary Origin system. Why let Steam take some of your profits when you can force players into another system, especially when you know they’re going to buy your game regardless of the hassle? Naturally, some players were very unhappy about the requirement, which once again unfairly impacts those that game on their computers.

It didn’t take long before a group of hackers, known collectively as Razor1911, hacked the BF3 client and removed the Origin requirements from online play. If you want to play Battlefield but don’t want to deal with Origin, it’s now a possibility – though EA will likely kill the functionality as quickly as they can.

The crack is not engineered to give players a free copy of the game, and works only on retail copies purchased legitimately from an online or brick and mortar shop. Here’s a statement from Razor1911:

“This release is dedicated to our fans worldwide who bought this game on legal way and don't want to install the trojan from Electronic Arts to play online.”

As a console gamer, I could care less about having an Origin account. I don’t have to suffer through using a browser to access the game, nor do I have to run some garbage program in the background just to play my favorite titles. I talked a bit about how annoying the Origin setup was in my PoV piece earlier in the week, but it’s been pretty smooth sailing for us console players so far.

But if you’re a PC gamer and you’re fed up with Origin’s ridiculous EULA or computer-bombing capabilities, it looks like the solution is out there. Just don’t be surprised if you end up with some sort of disciplinary action – EA will probably come down hard on hackers in the hopes of sending a message.

PoV: Battlefield 3 has Multiplayer Problems

Posted Oct 31, 2011 at 3:09PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: bad company 2, battlefield 3, battlefield 3 multiplayer issues, DICE

Let’s talk about some of the issues with Battlefield 3’s multiplayer, and why it sometimes feel like DICE may have released the game a pinch too soon.

I’m not a huge Battlefield fan. When I say that, what I mean is that I didn’t play the older games and don’t have any extreme allegiance to the brand. I do prefer Battlefield to Call of Duty due to the more realistic sniping mechanics and a greater focus on team play, but I’m not the sort of person that runs around preaching about which game is superior. I like Battlefield games, but I wouldn’t call them my favorites.

I picked up Battlefield 3 on launch day and have since been playing multiplayer whenever I have some down time. I should probably note that I have the Xbox 360 version, so some of the things I’m talking about may or may not be applicable to your personal experiences with the game. I’ve never put the campaign disc in the tray and I doubt I ever will, so I can’t really say much about the single player.

For the most part, multiplayer feels like a well-oiled machine. Most maps seem well planned and I’m getting a fair amount of fun from earning unlocks and capturing points. Though I’m focusing on complaints in this post, I do want to mention that I’ve had a good experience with the game overall.

Except for the following:

Origin/EA/Battlelog/Online Pass

I understand that creating loyalty is one of the key elements of managing a player base, but I play on a console. Having to create an EA account link it to an Origin, and then register an Online Pass via a website getting slammed by new players was a frustrating and unnecessary experience. I pay for Xbox Live – let me put my game in and play. I must say that I do really like Battelog, but the upfront inconvenience in getting started was pretty lame (and seems to be worse for PC players).

Scope Glare

Look, I play Recon. In fact, I play almost exclusively Recon. But, I play Recon – not “Camping sniper.” I spot targets, paint vehicles with the SOFLAM, capture points when I can and drop Radio Beacons. Anyway, in BF3 certain riflescopes have been given a glare effect to help limit the potential for camping. While I understand the mechanic, the glare is ridiculously bright, even in low-light situations. When I’m charging through a pitch black tunnel and I see something that looks like the north star shining out of the darkness, it shouldn’t turn out to be a scope. Needs to be toned down a bit.

Operation Metro CQ

If anyone out there has played Operation Metro in Conquest mode, you’ve probably noticed that the map is insanely unbalanced. Due to the map’s linear design and lack of flank routes, it’s much easier for the Russian team to capture point B and hold it. I would say that the majority of games I join for CQ end with Russia winning and the US losing – getting up and into point B can be quite a difficult feat. It’s also, for some reason, the only map that requires you to pass through one point to cap another – you can’t simply run around B to cap point A and put some pressure on, you have to go through point B first. Needs a little love for the US.

Jets

Jets are cool, I get it. But when I’m in a level with jets, it often seems like they’re playing a completely different game. I’m sure this is a failing of my teammates somewhere along the line, but all I ever see jets do is chase each other around and ignore everything that’s happening on the ground. Somewhere, someone has to have made a tutorial on how jets can apply to the ground game, so please watch it before you jump in the cockpit.

Technical issues

While the release version of Battlefield 3 is nowhere near as buggy as the beta, there are still a significant number of minor glitches and bugs. Texture pop, screen tear and a variety of weird clipping issues have shown up in my matches, with one in particular getting me killed (a two-inch step that has to be jumped over, since the character apparently can’t step). Also, the game often “forgets” which pistol I have equipped. Oh, and let’s not overlook the server issues – I always get a failed connection the first time I try and join.

So that’s a brief rundown of the common Battlefield issues I’m noticing. The list certainly isn’t comprehensive, but it’s made up of what has stood out to me as a player. Like I said before, they’re having a relatively minor impact on my play, but it’s still quite a few issues for a game that was supposed to be one of the best FPS experiences of all time.

If you’re playing Battlefield 3, what problems have you noticed that didn’t make the list?

Big Updates for Clone Wars Adventures

Posted Oct 15, 2011 at 5:49PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: BioWare, clone wars adventures, Sony Online Entertainment, star wars: the old republic

Sony Online Entertainment packs the small MMO with a bunch of new features including costumes, starting zones and mini-games. But is anyone playing?

Clone Wars Adventures is a strange game. It was released as part of the major media blitz for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and runs along the same freemium concepts as many of the small, popular MMOs you find around the web. With all the focus on Bioware’s The Old Republic, it’s easy to see why a small, browser-based MMO would go largely unnoticed except by its fanbase.

SOE seems to be trying to encourage players to stick around, and as of this last week has pushed a pretty big content pack directly to live servers. There’s a brand new min-game, new costumes for characters, new pets to collect and an all-new starting zone for new players.

Here’s what the game’s official site has to say about the starting zone:

“New Players will now start in the Ryloth Battle zone - an outdoor environment. There is a full scale battle taking place here with Republic troops and turrets versus Battle Droids. New players can run around and get up close with the participants in an ongoing battle. There's also a shuttle to port players to the Jedi Temple.”

If you’ve never played (or heard of) Clone Wars Adventures, now might be a good time to check it out. The game is free to play, for the most part, and with NYCC going on it’s going to be a fairly slow weekend for anyone that’s not attending the con.

Besides, everyone loves collecting pets, right?

Final Fantasy XIV Crafting-System Gets Overhauled in 1.19

Posted Sep 29, 2011 at 4:30PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: crafting, ffxiv, final fantasy xiv, patch 1.19

Square-Enix drops a huge bomb on FFXIV players by posting a massive list of upcoming changes to the crafting system including tweaks, material changes and the complete removal of some recipes.

“Final Fantasy XIV” players have been eagerly awaiting patch 1.19, which was delayed earlier this month for additional balance testing and bug fixes. While a major raid encounter was removed from the patch and pushed back to 1.19a, it looks like “FFXIV” players interested in the crafting professions still have plenty to look forward to when 1.19 finally drops on October 4th.

Major changes are taking place for nearly every recipe in the game, with large adjustments in how much material you need to craft items. While some players may be concerned about the impact this may have on the economy (fewer materials, lower demand, etc), Square-Enix says they’ve made careful calculations to minimize the effect these changes have on your character’s wallet.

From the Square-Enix forums:

“New recipes introduced in 1.19, however, will no longer require as many materials, meaning that, if left untouched, current intermediary part recipes will yield more items than crafters need. This could lead to an influx of those items in the market, and ultimately end up disrupting the balance of the in-game economy. To counter this, we have gone back to those intermediary part recipes and readjusted both the amount of materials required, as well as the number of items yielded with each successful synthesis.”

Now, I don’t play “FFXIV” so I’m not entirely sure what that paragraph means, but I think it basically comes down to this – since items require fewer parts, people who make parts will find that their part recipes generate a smaller number of parts, keeping the supply and demand curve in check and everyone happily rich (or poor).

Wow, now I don’t even know what my own paragraph means.

Anyway, if you want to look at the changes yourself, you’d better prepare your browser’s “Find” function. The full list is pretty massive, covering hundreds of items, ingredients and recipes.

Full patch notes for 1.19 will be published tomorrow, September 30, so stay tuned for more detailed updates once Square-Enix lets the community know what to expect.

Square Enix has tapped in a new COO in the person of Clinton Foy, and top on his priority list is to forward mobile and social development.

Foy actually acted is not exactly a new face in the Square Enix offices. He usted to be the Vice President for Business and Legal Affairs, and acted as General Counsel as well. Yes, he knows technology, and yes, he's a lawyer.

Square Enix' CEO Mike Fischer says of Foy's new role in the company, "One of the key responsibilities of the COO role will be to shape and drive more aggressive business development initiatives in free-to-play, social, mobile, browser, and emerging platforms. Clinton's valuable experience makes him uniquely qualified to lead our organization in these important areas."

Although Square Enix suffered back in 2010 due to a bleak market, they're out and gunning for more this year, with more new projects being teased on the way.
