The EVE-universe, PS3-exclusive shooter will support USB accessories.
CCP confirmed via tweet earlier this week that DUST 514, its EVE Online first-person shooter, would support keyboard and mouse control schemes on the PS3 console. This means if you have a USB keyboard and mouse sitting around for your PlayStation, you’ll be able to use them as your primary method of control in lieu of the PS3 controller. Duh.
DUST isn’t the first game to support keyboard and mouse controls – Unreal Tournament 3 featured a similar setup. The addition of this control mode should come as a comfort to PC gamers that believe keyboard and mouse inputs are the only true way to play shooting games, and will make it easier to chat back and forth with the other players roaming the world.
DUST 514 is set for release sometime this summer on both PS3 and PC. Since it will feature cross-platform support, it only makes sense that PS3 players have the same control options as PC players.
Do you prefer the keyboard and mouse setup?

Blizzard’s new dungeon crawler has a max of four players and no voice chat.
Diablo III is steadily creeping up on the horizon, and as the game gets closer to final launch, more and more details begin to emerge. This week’s information comes in the form of specs on the multiplayer mode of the game, which is apparently a bit more limited than most players were expecting.
Diablo III’s multiplayer will support a maximum of four players, despite the fact that Diablo II supported eight. Blizzard has also elected to leave in-game voice chat out completely, so you’d better fire up your Vent server if you want to communicate with friends. This is likely the direct result of the massive failure that was voice chat in StarCraft II.
The reason given for the player limitation is that the game would be too “chaotic” with eight players casting spells all over the place. Some bloggers are also speculating that the limit could have something to do with the console version of the game, but who knows?
Regardless of the reasons, there are your Diablo III multiplayer deets. Four player cap, no voice chat.
What do you think? Is multiplayer a driving factor in your wanting the game?

IO makes sure AI dialogue isn’t repetitive with a 2,000-page script.
If there’s one thing that most gamers would agree is annoying, it’s repetitive AI chatter. One need only look at the mass of “arrow to the knee jokes” currently swarming the web to get an idea of what can happen when the non-playable characters around you have only a few things to talk about. IO, the developer behind the Hitman franchise, seems determined to avoid this problem with their upcoming Hitman: Absolution.
In an interview with Videogamer, Absolution game director Tor Blystad briefly touched on the depths of dialogue being recorded for the game’s unwitting foes – the AI of the game apparently has a 2,000-page script all to itself. The idea, of course, is to better immerse players in the world they’re attempting to infiltrate; stumbling upon a group of guards mid-joke is always a nice way to break tension and reinforce the reality of a game universe.
We’ll have to wait and see how this script translates into actual in-game encounters, but for now it’s safe to say that IO is on the right track in terms of stopping their guards from becoming Internet memes.
Do you enjoy random conversations in games? Some of my favorite dialogue in gaming came from overheard conversations in Mass Effect 2.

Tomorrow’s 2GB Battlefield patch brings bug fixes, balance changes, and a few other goodies.
We knew that a Battlefield 3 patch was on the way, and we knew that it resolved a few glaring issues (like the tactical light – get it!? Glaring?!), but the full extent of the patch wasn’t really clear until the full patch notes went public. After a quick glance through, it’s obvious DICE is serious about keeping their game as balanced and fun as possible.
The bulk of the 2GB patch is content for the upcoming Back to Karkand DLC pack, but the rest is all adjustments to existing game mechanics. Among the fixes? A big nerf to mortars, a buff to jet cannons, spawn point adjustment and a ton of tiny tweaks to weapons. Here’s the full list of changes, courtesy of Battlelog:
Bugfixes
• Fixed a problem with spawn timer now showing blue border on startup and lost spawn point
• Fixed a problem where player who joined queuing on End of round got spawn screen stuck on screen, but unable to do anything with it until next round loaded
• Fixed a problem where camera would change to 3rd person on killcam when killcam was turned off in server settings
• Fixed stat references on several dogtags
• Fixed for surveillance ribbon not counting TUGS
• Fixed a missing combat area lines on the minimap for Grand Bazaar conquest small
• Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree
• Fixed a problem where placing C4 with the russians soldier was playing US faction VO
• Fixed a problem where TV guided missiles could be shot into its own helicopter and destroy it
• Fixed a problem when attempting to fire lock on weapons without a target
• Tweaked the chat, it should now be a bit easier to read
• Fixed several vehicles that did not properly shoot rockets and guns towards their predictive sights
• Fixed the G17 Supressed Laser not working properly
• Added alternate HUD colors to help colorblinds
• Added a network interpolation setting. This allows users with good bandwidth reduce latency, but might increase some stuttering. The user can find what works best for his connection by tweaking the slider.
• Increased the Spawn protection radius on TDM
• Fixed a problem with smoke on land vehicles, Missiles should now miss more often
• Fixed a problem where users could end up with IRNV scope in any vehicle
• Fixed a problem where player dies if vaulting over a ledge and into water while sprinting
• Fixed several crashes and increased general stability
• Fixed a problem where the user was unable to revive two players that have the bodies one over the other
• Fixed so you can assign an axis and use as a digital input. This makes it possible for the player (on pc) to assign one of the sticks on a gameped to be used for throttle/brake.
• Fixed a problem with the Kill camera acting up when suiciding from parachute
• Fixed air radar was showing to much. now lasertagged, heatsignature above threshold, enemy missiles and capture points are only visible on air radar
• Fixed a problem where the game would enter a technical hang if the user pressed pause menu and tilde at the same time
• Fixed a problem where you could get green flashes on screen
• You can now reassign cycle weapons
• Fixed so the weapon zooms automatically after bipod deploy is gone when using zoom toggle
• Fixed a problem where the parachute would stay stuck in air if the owner was killed
Balance Tweaks
• Fixed several weapons so they are properly suppressed and hide the player on the minimap when fired.
• Tweaked Tactical Light so it is not as blinding over longer ranges.
• Tweaked the IRNV scope so it is limited to usage only at close range.
• Reduced heat masking effectiveness of Spec Ops Camo.
• Fixed a bug where Ammo spec would give additional 40mm grenades instead of Frag spec.
• Increased the number of additional 40mm grenades from Frag spec.
• Fixed so AT mines only live for 20 seconds after a player dies to prevent infinite mines.
• Increased the Time to Live on sniper caliber rounds to allow extreme distance shots.
• Fixed several weapon descriptions, calibers, and fire rates. The weapons themselves have not changed.
• Fixed so the M9 and MP443 pistol can be equipped by the opposing faction when it is unlocked at 100 kills.
• Fixed Laser Guided Missiles missing their targets if the target is moving too fast.
• Reduced the effectiveness of Stealth on Air Vehicles.
• Reduced the effectiveness of Beam Scanning for Jets.
• Reduced the damage done to Armored Vehicles and Infantry from AA guns.
• Increased the damage RPGs and Tank shells do to AA vehicles.
• Slightly decreased the accuracy for all weapons on fully automatic, burst fire is now preferable at mid to long range.
• Increased the effective accuracy of long bursts for LMGs when using a bipod.
• Slightly increased the range of the 44magnum bullets.
• Increased the close range damage of 4.6x30mm and 5.7x28mm bullets.
• Increased the reload time of the Mortar from 3.5sec to 4.8sec and increased the time it takes before a shell hits the ground.
• Reduced the aimed accuracy bonus given by a Suppressor for the MP7, P90, PP2000, PP-19, and UMP45.
• Increased the range and FOV for designating targets with the SOFLAM and vehicle Laser Designators.
• Decreased the effectiveness of 12g FRAG ammo when equipped on semi-automatic and automatic shotguns.
• Slightly Increased the power of Fighter Jet Cannons against all vehicle targets, especially Helicopters.
• Decreased the power of Miniguns against Jets and Helicopters.
• Increased the power of Stingers against Jets.
• Flares reload times for Jets and Helicopter Gunners have been increased.
• Tweaked the AN94 so its burst fire better conveys the real world advantage offered by this weapon.
• Added Single Shot to the AN94 as an available fire mode.
• Slightly increased the recoil on the M416 and removed the Burst Fire mode (this weapon incorrectly had burst fire, which was not authentic).
• Tweaked the spawns for TDM on Kharg Island, Grand Bazaar, Caspian Border, Seine Crossing, Operation Firestorm, Damavand Peak and Noshahar Canals
• Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree
• Tweaked the Gas station Capture area on Conquest on Caspian Border
• Tweaked the max vehicle height on Noshahar Canals
So there’s that. See anything you like?

Two teenage killers are sentenced to life in prison after one of the pair confesses the crime to a World of Warcraft guildmate.
Kruse Wellwood and Cameron Moffat were arrested in 2010 for the rape and murder of one of their teenage classmates. The crime, and young age of the suspects, shocked the Victoria suburbs, as each bit of evidence released to the public has painted a horrifying picture of sadistic teens without remorse.
What’s strange, however, is where that evidence came from.
Once news of the girl’s began to take the focus in local media, the boys became increasingly aware of their online presence. Kruse wanted to share his story and thought that World of Warcraft would be the safest place, since he assumed Blizzard didn’t keep a backlog of chats. He confessed using in-game chat, but unfortunately for him Blizz is more than serious about helping local law enforcement and the confession was quickly entered into evidence.
Using the chat and other online evidence, the prosecution had little more to do than present it to a jury. The case is an interesting tale of the way in which digital media affects our lives – by compiling WoW chat logs, search histories and visited web pages the prosecution was able to come up with 1.4 billion sheets of paper’s worth of evidence.
If you want to read about the case (warning: the original article is graphic), you can check out the full piece at Vanity Fair. It tells the story of two awful people and how games helped to bring them to justice.

The company that’s usually pretty careful about its public image is in hot water over an interview played during the Blizzcon closing concert, one that contains homophobic slurs and profanity galore.
If you made it out to Blizzcon and were lucky enough to catch the closing concert, you may remember a brief video clip played during the performance of Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftan. The video featured Corpsegrinder, the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse, and generally revolved around his passion for World of Warcraft and insane hatred of the Alliance faction.
You can check the video out here, but be warned that it contains graphic language:
The video, which is packed to the gills with curse words and homophobic slurs like “faggot” and “queer,” was somehow vetted by Blizzard officials and shown to the Blizzcon audience. Naturally, the gay gamer community is fairly upset over the remarks, but more so over Blizzard’s insensitivity to the subject matter. It’s worth noting that the content was censored in the video that played for the audience, meaning most of the words had to be inferred.
All gamers deal with profanity now and again, and homophobic remarks often seem to come with the territory, but there’s a big difference between someone calling you a “fag” in general chat and the game company broadcasting those terms out to the world. Knowing Blizzards in-game chat policy for WoW, it’s surprising they would make public any video that violates their own rules, but perhaps it was just an error in judgment.
The forums are blowing up regarding the video, with numerous threads of complaints and a few weak “it was a joke” apologies from Blizzard staff. The most recent update involved locking all previous posts and providing this snippet to forum members:
“Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding the closing night performance at BlizzCon. While we had some other messaging worked up we were going to post, the members of band wanted to instead address it themselves:
Hey guys, we read and heard all the feedback from BlizzCon this year. The Corpsegrinder bit was never intended to be taken seriously. We are sorry that we offended anyone; everything at our shows is just meant in fun. Thank you all for speaking up. We’ll definitely keep this in mind for future shows.
Our humblest apologies,
Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain”
The drama is still ongoing, so we’ll see what ends up happening. There’s not much Blizz can do besides apologize, but some players are definitely upset.
What do you think is the appropriate response?

DICE apparently confirms that all squad management will occur in the out-of-game Battlelog system, sending many a “Battlefield” fan into a rage.
One of the best features of “Battlefield: Bad Company 2” is the ability to create, join and leave squads during gameplay. In addition to giving players the option of making a quick private squad with friends, the Leave/Join mechanism makes it easier for solo players (like me) to jump into a random game and immediately start assisting the team.
Squad play and management is largely what sets the “Battlefield” series apart from “Call of Duty,” which has always been much more of a chaotic rush for kills than an organized objective-taking experience. According to Daniel Matros, community manager for DICE, in-game squad management is now a thing of the past.
From Twitter:
“Voice chat and squadding will be on the Battlelog side of things”
While this is far from an absolute confirmation that players won’t be able to edit squads during games, it certainly reads that way. Many “BF3” gamers on Twitter are upset about the news, and Matros hasn’t made a move to clear up any possible misconception, so at the moment it looks like we’ll all be making extensive use of Battlelog.
For those out of the loop, Battelog is a web-based stats and social media hub similar in theory to the community site Bungie built for “Halo” fans. You’ll be able to interact with other players, view personal statistics, compare your stats to top-tier players and now, presumably, create and manage your squads. While this certainly doesn’t seem like the most convenient way to conduct an activity that worked perfectly well in the game, we do have to remember that “Battlefield 3” is in beta and things can still change.
On the plus side, there are rumors that Battlelog will be headed to your smartphone, allowing you to check in on stats and edit squads from anywhere you pick up a signal.

Xbox 360 players of Dark Souls are missing out on one integral feature, so it seems. This would be the party chat mode, which is available in the game's other versions.
As reports would have it, being connected to an Xbox Live party automatcially prevents you from going to Online Mode when playing Dark Souls.
If you do insist and try joining a party, this is the messgae that you will get: "Cannot continue game because you are in party chat. Returning to tilte screen..."
Meanwhile, the other scenario is when you attempt to start up a new game, while already being inside an XBL party already: "You are in a party session. Online Mode is inaccessible. Game will start in Offline Mode."
So basically, it's going to be pretty much an either-or thing. Either you prioritize playing Dark Souls in itself, or choose to chat with your friends. Things is, this is what XBL promised to deliver to begin with: interactivity with your friends in real-time while playing your game. That's what makes the game even more fun.
Namco Bandai has yet to offer an official statement regarding this issue. Prior to that, the Dark Souls Collector's Edition got a "downgrade", having a couple of items transformed into digital content. Game's out in North America, while Europe gets it later this Friday.

It took a pretty long while coming, but now it's really landed. The Playstation Network Europe finally welcomes into its fold Free Realms, SOSE's free-to-play virtual world game.
John Smedley, SOE's President, says of Free Realms, SOE has set the standard for MMOs on the console with two incredibly successful, innovative and exciting new massive online game worlds for the PlayStation 3 system - first with DC Universe Online and now Free Realms. Our games extend the current lifecycle of the console with the added value offer of bringing tens of thousands of people together, in a game world, to socialize at community events, compete in combat activities and engage in a diversity of gameplay experiences, for years to come."
The PS3 version of Free Realms feature voice chat, so you can communicate with your friends, and of course, Trophies. It's available for download right now on the PSN, so go grab it stat.
With it finally on board PSN Europe, let's see if Sony's targeted number of 100 million users are  met.

Someone's playing coy about Battlefield 3 showing up on Steam. Although several clues point to EA DICE ignoring Steam for the release of their much-awaited title, a client-chat conversation has popped up online, hinting otherwise.
In the conversation, it was asked if Battlefield 3 will ever be available on Steam. To that, one "Smith" replied, "Yes, after release it will be available on Steam."
The conversation continued as thus: "So there will be no pre-order, but it will be available on Steam?" To which Smith replies yet again, "Yes, only after release."
Of course, this conversation was supposedly a private one between the inquirer and responder "Smith". As to the veracity of this chat, EA has yet to confirm or deny.
This has been a strong point of curiosity given the ongoing "rift" between EA's EA Origin and Valve's Steam digital distribution services. Whatever comes of it, though, what's important is that DICE delivers the goods, just as they're hyping it.
