Religion Returns to Civilization V

Posted Feb 16, 2012 at 4:58PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: 2K Games, civilization v, gods and kings

2K Games is sick of your people being godless heathens.

Civilization V stripped a number of elements from previous Civilization titles, resulting in an experience that was more streamlined and a little less intimidating for new players. While the result was no doubt a more accessible Civilization V, some hardcore players felt that Civ V offered less in the way of depth than its predecessors. 2K Games is looking to change that perception with the just-announced Gods and Kings expansion.

The days of orgies and vomitoriums are coming to a close, as religion is about to bounce its way back into the lives of your people. The Gods and Kings expansion brings promises of the afterlife and a few other familiar mechanics to your digital settlements.

Here’s a quick look at what you can expect to see when the expansion launches in spring:

13 new buildings

9 new wonders

27 new units

New tech

9 new civilizations

3 new scenarios

Religion returns

Smarter AI

Enhanced diplomacy

Espionage returns

New city-state types, Mercantile and Religious

Overall, it’s a pretty massive expansion (as is the norm for Civilization). The addition of religion and espionage will dramatically change the way in which conflicts and friendships unfold.

Now, to get started on my army of godless chariot archers. And godless trebuchets. Actually, just assume everything in my army is godless.

Jagex Picks up Rockstar’s Alex Horton

Posted Jan 16, 2012 at 4:00PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: alex horton, grand theft auto, jagex, red dead, runescape

The Runescape developer just upped its roster by one Red Dead Developer.

Alex Horton is a former animator for gaming juggernaut Rockstar Games, with titles like Red Dead Revolver and Grand Theft Auto 3 under his belt. And now, he’s just been made the Chief Creative Director of Jagex. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, Jagex is the company behind one of the most successful F2P MMOs of all time, Runescape.

According to a press release issued by Jagex, Horton’s role will primarily be “working across the studios with our game design, development and creative teams to ensure all of our games achieve their true mass market potential.”

Jagex has been in the biz for years, and has just released into beta a “casual” strategy game titled 8Realms. Horton will no doubt be a strong presence in the company, with more than a few high profile AAA titles under his belt.

There’s no word on whether Horton will be involved with the newly created mobile wing of Jagex, but all indications are that he will be taking a prominent role within the company and overseeing several titles at once.

Senate Postpones SOPA Vote

Posted Jan 16, 2012 at 3:53PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: pipa, sopa

Mounting resistance to the controversial bill seems to have finally made an impression.

We’ve been talking a lot about SOPA over the last few days – as the bill grew ever closer to a vote, a growing number of websites and game developers started standing up in opposition. This opposition finally caught the attention of the United States Congress, and has resulted in the temporary delay of an official vote.

Darrell Issa, chairman of the house oversight and reform committee, noted that Eric Cantor (majority leader) confirmed the vote on SOPA would not take place until there is a consensus on the wording of the bill. This report hit simultaneously with stories noting that DNS blocking, one of the most controversial elements of SOPA, has been removed from the current draft.

For now, the SOPA hearing is postponed indefinitely. But the issue won’t be settled until the bill is either discarded, or voted down. As long as it hangs in the air, there’s a potential of its passage. The Obama administration issued a statement in opposition to the bill (though soft), and internet blackout events are still scheduled to occur on the 18th.

Issa summed the issue up nicely:

“The voice of the internet community has been heard. Much more education for members of Congress about the workings of the internet is essential if anti-piracy legislation is to be workable and achieve broad appeal.”

Remember, you can contact your Congressional representative and let them know how you feel via the Electronic Frontier Foundation

THQ Denying 2014 Cancellations

Posted Jan 16, 2012 at 3:51PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: dark millennium online, digital warrington, kaos, saints row the third, THQ, udraw

It’s a day of denials as THQ refutes stories that their 2014 lineup has been called off.

Over the weekend, news broke that THQ was in dire financial straits. So dire, in fact, that the company was planning on dumping its 2014 releases and opening itself up for a bailout buyout. The story came loose as the result of tweets sent by Kevin Dent of the IGDA, who claimed some sort of insider knowledge on the subject.

Early this morning, however, THQ issued a strong denial, noting that there have been no changes to its 2014 lineup, and that the company is merely “strategically addressing the most attractive markets.” The company also noted that Saints Row: The Third, released late in 2011, was a smashing success that put the publisher in fifth place for 2011 sales.

Rumors have been swirling for a while now that THQ’s MMO, Dark Millennium Online, is on the auction block. THQ also denied that they were attempting to sell the game, noting that they have made no official plans regarding the title. THQ, by all means, had a rough 2011, firing the uDraw team and closing down several studios including Kaos and Digital Warrington.

We’ll just have to wait and see how the story plays out. Even if THQ has canceled its lineup and is looking for a buyout, the company certainly isn’t going to sabotage its potential value by admitting it to the press.

What do you think is going on over at THQ?

Microsoft Dismisses Xbox.com Security Flaw

Posted Jan 16, 2012 at 2:36PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: live hacks, xbox live

The gaming giant responds to claims of weak security on its official website.

Late last week, we broke news over a potential security flaw in the design of the Xbox.com website. Jason Coutee, a hacked Live user and network infrastructure manager, notice that the Xbox.com login apparatus will allow for infinite incorrect attempts, opening the site up to brute force password scripts. While a captcha appears after eight tries, it can be dismissed by clicking one of the links on the site, and you can begin attempts anew with the same Live email.

Some gaming outlets, QJ included, pondered whether this loophole has anything to do with the recent spate of Live hacks. Microsoft seems to have been offended by the suggestion, and issued a stern statement earlier this morning. Calling the brute forcing issue outlined an “industry-wide issue,” Microsoft claimed that security is their highest priority and there is no “loophole” in the way their website works. It’s a boilerplate response from a company on the defensive – your basic “we are working on security, your information is safe, no hackers to be found here!”

Coutee responded to the statement, acknowledging that brute forcing is indeed a real issue for everyone, but that Microsoft had also apparently tightened up their backend security without making any visible changes to the website. The site no longer allows for infinite attempts, and instead stops responding to requests after the 20th submission. Microsoft clearly thought enough of the issue to change the way the website works, despite their claims of no loophole existing.

Whatever the cause, your Xbox Live ID is just a little bit more secure this morning. What do you think of the potential security threat – overblown or genuinely worrisome?

Game Group Denies Hack Reports

Posted Jan 16, 2012 at 1:28PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: game group, game.co.uk, pastebin, softpedia

Reports of game.co.uk being compromised appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

Early this morning, Softpedia posted an update alerting gamers to the fact that the Game Group website, located at game.co.uk, appeared to have been compromised. The report stemmed from a Pastebin post, which purportedly contained the email addresses and passwords of over 200 Game Group users. Site visitors were warned to change their passwords to be safe.

Game Group has responded to the alleged security breach by claiming that the information in question didn’t come from their website, and that none of the posted email addresses are those of their users. They went on to say that they (duh) take security very seriously, and that after looking into the Pastebin post, they can confidently claim that no user information has been compromised.

The company assured customers that their personal and payment information was safe, and invited anyone with questions to contact their customer service department. So, it looks like your Game Group information may be secure after all. However, you may want to change your password just in case – this wouldn’t be the first time a company has denied a very real security breach.

Do you think the hack is fake, or is it more likely that the company is trying to cover its tracks?

Update Your Nvidia Drivers, Improve Battlefield 3 Performance

Posted Oct 25, 2011 at 5:51PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, crysis 2, drivers, nVidia, rage

Nvidia has just released a set of brand new drivers for their graphics cards that promise a marked increase in performance for today’s Battlefield 3 release.

If you’re one of the many PC gamers that picked up Battlefield 3 today (or last night), it’s fitting to assume you updated your graphics card drivers before you started the install. After all, with the insane problems we saw during the Rage launch, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you didn’t, now is the time to get those drivers updated and ensure your system is running at peak performance.

Nvidia card owners are getting a little help from the manufacturer, who has released a brand new set of drivers specifically for the launch of Battlefield 3. The new drivers offer what Nvidia claims to be an 11% improvement in performance, which is more than enough to make or break a heated multiplayer match. With Battlefield 3 being hailed as one of the best-looking PC games ever, it’s only fitting that you’d need to upgrade or update something in order to experience it in its full glory.

Here’s some technical jargon from the Nvidia website:

For Battlefield 3 we’ve improved performance by up to 11% since the release of the GeForce 285.38 beta drivers, have included several compatibility enhancements, a new and improved SLI profile, and a 3D Vision profile. Similarly, Rage has received enhancements since the release of the same drivers, and Batman: Arkham City compatibility has been implemented.

As mentioned, updates contained within the earlier beta drivers have been carried over, such as the many performance improvements made to games --between the release of the 280.26 WHQL drivers and today’s 285.62 WHQL drivers-- when running on our entire range of 500-Series graphics cards.

On the GeForce GTX 580, for example, SLI users can expect to receive frame rate boosts of up to:

• 13% in Metro 2033,

• 8% in STALKER: Call of Pripyat,

• 7% in Civilization V,

• 7% in F1 2010,

• 5% in Crysis 2 with the DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade enabled,

• 5% in Lost Planet 2,

• And 5% in Mafia 2.

So, even if you’re not playing Battlefield 3, you may as well pick up the new drivers. You can find the full list of changes and affected games by clicking this link, and you can bounce over to Nvidia and download the new drivers by clicking this one. Party on!

Also, if you are playing BF3 – how’s it going? I haven’t had a chance to pick up my copy yet.

Grammy's presents Best Theme Song to Civilization IV

Posted Feb 14, 2011 at 2:47AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: civilization iv, news, sid meier

This is a big win for the gaming industry. For the first time ever, a video game bagged an award from the Grammy's. The lucky game that made history: Civilization VI.

It's probably not proper, though, to just say it was luck that landed them the prestigious Grammy awards. Baba Yetu of Christoper Tin has been very popular, after all. What makes the win more significant, however, was that this was the first time the award-giving body gave recognition to anything related to a video game.

The theme song was composed for Sid Meier's Civilization IV, and was included in the debut album "Calling All Dawns". At the recent Grammy's Awards, it took home the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists(s).

If you haven't heard it yet, then it's about time you do. We've got the official music video here for posterity's sake.

Congratulations!
