EA Sports Returns to NBA Live

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 12:55PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: EA Sports, nba elite, NBA Live, nba live 10, nba live 13

Insert basketball-related pun here.

It’s been three years since we last visited the NBA Live franchise. NBA Live 10, released in 2009, was the last chance fans of the Live franchise had to get their LeBron James on. While a new basketball title under the name NBA Elite had been planned, it was scrapped back in 2010 after it turned out to be terrible. Since then, players have had to rely on updates to NBA Live 2012 to keep their NBA fantasies alive.

Well, update no more, basketball lovers. EA has announced that it’s bringing the NBA Live brand back this year, with NBA Live 13. According to EA Sports, Live 13 will be a brand new experience that “captures the future” of basketball. Whatever that may mean. Space Jam, maybe?

Details are relatively scant at the moment, but EA has promised an update on the game’s official Facebook page sometime next week. So stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, you can keep an eye on the EA Sports NBA Twitter for a steady stream of NBA players playing early builds of the new title.

2K Sports Announces 2K12 Bundle

Posted Feb 17, 2012 at 1:47PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: 2K Sports, mlb 2k12, mlb the show, nba 2k12

Snag MLB and NBA 2K12 for one low price. Or you could buy The Show.

2K Sports has had a good run with its 2K line of sports games, with NBA and MLB titles leading the pack. And if you’re a sports fanatic who enjoys buying what is essentially the same game every year, 2K has a deal for you: Both MLB 2K12 and NBA 2K12 will be packaged together for the low, low price of $69.99.

It’s a good deal for two games, especially if you’re the type to refresh your lineup every year. MLB 2K12 hits shelves on March 6 and the addition of NBA 2K12 into the mix will hopefully help 2K move a few extra copies of their baseball title, which is sadly the only MLB game available for Xbox 360 owners. MLB 2K doesn’t have the best track record, with quality varying wildly from title to title.

Regardless of the hit or miss quality of past MLB 2K games, 2K12 is shaping up to be an interesting addition to the franchise. The combo pack only makes the deal sweeter, although it makes the standalone game a bit of a rip-off for the non-basketball inclined. Hey, if you like sports and you don’t have a PS3, you may as well pick up the bundle.

Are you planning on picking up any baseball games this spring? Which ones?

Resident Evil Revelations Price Lower than Expected

Posted Jan 30, 2012 at 3:27PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Capcom, nintendo 3ds, resident evil revelations

Capcom revises its initial price point for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title.

Resident Evil Revelations is due out for the Nintendo 3DS in just a couple of weeks, and up until now we were fully expecting to pay $49.99 for the game. This price, a bit higher than normal for 3DS titles, was apparently the result of the game being installed on a 4GB card instead of the usual 2GB.

While Capcom noted that it was confident the game’s quality was well worth the extra cash, they didn’t seem happy about the higher price point. And, according to a statement on their official site, they’ve been looking for weeks to find ways to eliminate the discrepancy. It looks like they figured it out.

As of now, Resident Evil Revelations is priced at the normal rate of $39.99. It’s worth noting that the price change only applies to United States version of the game – if you live somewhere else, you’ll need to stay tuned to Capcom for further updates.

What do you think of the pricing change? Is Capcom really fighting for the wallets of consumers, or just afraid the extra $10 will scare off potential buyers?

DLC for Soul Calibur V Already Inbound

Posted Jan 27, 2012 at 4:21PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: dlc, Namco Bandai, soul calibur v

Bikinis are coming to Soul Calibur. At least Namco is being honest.

Enjoying Soul Calibur V? Of course not – it doesn’t hit shelves until January 31. But just because the game hasn’t been released yet doesn’t mean there can’t be DLC, right? Right. Namco Bandai has announced the first round of Soul Calibur V DLC, set to land at the same time as the game’s European release on February 3.

So what’s in this first batch of DLC, you ask? According to Namco Bandai, the DLC contains “exotic costumes.” Loosely translated, this means face paint, wigs and yes, bikinis. While it seems a little ridiculous to introduce bikinis into a fighting game, this is, after all, Soul Calibur. It’s good to see Namco embracing its target demographic.

This pack is the first of three set for February release, with the second landing February 14 and the third landing February 28. The next two updates contain accessories like clothing, masks and “breast plates,” and all three updates are packed with some classic Soul Calibur music. Each DLC pack is priced at 160 MS Points/ €1.99.

What do you think of day one DLC? It doesn’t seem so terrible when it’s purely aesthetic items.

Also, are you planning on buying any bikinis?

Mass Effect 3 Action Figures to Include DLC

Posted Jan 24, 2012 at 5:06PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: BioWare, dlc, mass effect 3

EA plans to include DLC download codes with series two of the Mass Effect action figure lineup.

Do you like Mass Effect? Do you like DLC? What about action figures? If you said yes to all three questions, then man have we got a deal for you. It looks like EA, the publisher behind Bioware’s upcoming space-RPG Mass Effect 3, has an interesting plan for delivering DLC to gamers: toys.

According to information posted by the Big Bad Toy Store, series two of the Mass Effect action figure series will come packaged with special codes, valid for special “in-game bonus content.” Every figure apparently comes with its own bit of DLC, so it’s safe to assume the updates are limited to weapons, armor and other small accessories.

Here’s a list of the figures coming in series two:

Miranda

Mordin

Garrus

Legion

There’s no information available on whether you’ll have to buy the toys to get this DLC, or if it will be made available to regular players without a penchant for plastic. In the meantime, it does seem to be a cool way to sell DLC – who wouldn’t want a mini Miranda on their desk?

Would you buy toys to access DLC?

Rumor: Battlefield 3 Hackers Banning Innocent Players

Posted Jan 24, 2012 at 3:48PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, DICE, PunkBuster

A group of BF3 cheaters has a bone to pick with Punkbuster, and they’re doing it at the expense of regular joes.

The beating heart of Battlefield 3 is its intense online multiplayer. And whenever you have online multiplayer in a game, you have to find a way to protect it from cheaters. On PC versions of the game, this function is performed by software known as Punkbuster.

Punkbuster is an automated program that analyzes every player on a particular server and looks for known cheats and other exploits. If it catches someone in the act, they are immediately banned from EA’s Battlelog service. According to Kotaku, some of these cheaters are unhappy with the way Punkbuster affects their game, and have elected to take their frustrations out on the regular BF3 populace.

It seems that somehow, these players have managed to compromise Punkbuster on certain servers, and are using the service to ban innocent players. The group claims to have dumped over 150 players to date, and the official BF3 forums are awash in complaints of unwarranted bans. Essentially, this small selection of players has chosen to protest Punkbuster by using it against non-cheating individuals.

Posting to a bots and exploits forum, one user had this to say about Punkbuster:

“We are bringing back the unerring of punkbuster back for a 3rd season. We have selected ggc-stream as the target since they have the most streaming bf3 servers and makes it very easy to add fake bans. In 2011 we hit them with a mass ban wave and now were are banning real players from battlelog while ggc-stream is totally unaware. We have framed 150+ bf3 players alone.”

This story is still developing, and there’s been no official word from either DICE or Punkbuster on what may be going on, so the news should be taken with a grain of salt. Look for future updates as information is made available.

What do you think of Punkbuster?

Rumor: Japanese Retailer Drops Vita Price

Posted Jan 4, 2012 at 5:07PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: ps vita discount, ps vita sales, ps vita wifi

In light of tough second week sales, it looks like some Japanese retailers are cutting the PS Vita’s sale price.

The PS Vita, as we mentioned earlier in the week, had a pretty rough second week. After opening strong with over 324,000 sales, the device tanked by 78% and was outsold by both the 3DS and the original PSP. The 3G model in particular isn’t moving well, with retailers reporting that only 56% of those units have been picked up compared to 85% of the WiFi only version.

The tough week has led many analysts to panic about the device’s future and clamor for a potential price drop, but Sony has remained mostly mute on the subject. Now, however, it looks like Japanese retailers are speaking for the software company, dropping prices of their own accord.

According to Edge, one retailer has dropped the price on the 3G Vita from ¥29,980 to ¥24,999, a drop of around 17%. While only one retailer appears to be engaged in the price drop, it may trigger a domino effect of discounts across the nation – either to stay competitive, or simply to entice more people to buy the device.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how the events in Japan translate here in the west. Vita could do better and it could do worse ;most of the launch games have a bigger western following than they do in Japan.

What do you think will happen with Vita when it hits shelves in March?

PS Vita Sells 321,000 in Two Days

Posted Dec 20, 2011 at 3:18PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: nintendo 3ds sales, ps vita problems, ps vita sales, psp sales

Sony’s latest handheld has a fairly successful Japanese launch, outselling the original PSP but falling just short of the Nintendo 3DS.

According to Enterbrain, a Japanese retail tracking service, the PlayStation Vita is off to a roaring start in Japan. In just 48 hours, the device has moved 321,000 units. In comparison, the original PSP sold around 161,000 in its launch week, and the Nintendo 3DS moved about 371,000 in its first two days. So, things are looking pretty good from Sony’s point of view at the moment.

Most retailers are noting that they still have PSPs in stock – the device certainly isn’t sold out as of yet. One thing that has sold out, however, is the proprietary memory for the device. Stores are reporting severe shortages of the memory cards the Vita requires for playing some games, which could make jumping into all of the launch titles a bit difficult for gamers that can’t procure one.

The Vita launch has been mostly smooth, with a few issues reported (and a firmware patch on the way). Overall, the Japanese release seems to have been a success; the only thing left to do is wait until February 22nd to see how the launch goes in the west. Luckily, most of the Vita’s launch issues will likely be worked out by then.

In the meantime, analysts will be paying close attention to the Vita to determine whether it can keep its momentum beyond the initial launch window.

What do you think? Is the Vita going to keep selling well, or is this just the early-adopter pop?

Bioware Struggling with SWTOR Queues

Posted Dec 19, 2011 at 1:55PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: BioWare, EA, Star Wars, the old republic, World of Warcraft

Surprise! Lots of people want to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the game’s developer is working around the clock to accommodate the sudden crush of new users.

According to the clock on my wall, Star Wars: The Old Republic still has about 12 hours before being officially released to the public. But early access and a few other interesting events have brought about a million players into the MMORPG’s digital world, and even though the game isn’t even on shelves yet, its servers are struggling to match demand.

As early access went online, there were 140 servers available on which to play. Now that queues on most have surpassed two hours during peak hours, Bioware is racing to add more capacity to the game before the massive wave of new players hits tomorrow. It’s not uncommon for new MMOs to be saddled with queue times – I remember waiting in line when I first started playing World of Warcraft – but there is certainly a point at which players will refuse to wait. Personally, I think anything over 30 minutes is enough to send players running.

Star Wars: The Old Republic stands to be one of the biggest launches of the year and one of the most impressively attended MMOs since WoW, so it’s up to Bioware to make that experience pleasurable for new players. If people are still on the fence about whether or not they’re going to move their guild to a new game, a two-hour queue certainly isn’t going to help sell SWTOR to them.

As noted, SWTOR already has a million players, and will likely see an increase of at least 500,000 in its first week of launch. EA and Bioware are hoping to land two million paying players in 2013, so hopefully they’ll be on the ball when it comes to balancing out the servers.

Are you in the early access program? What have your experiences been like so far?

Vita to Support Multiple Accounts After All

Posted Dec 10, 2011 at 11:00AM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: ps vita accounts, psn accounts, sony ps vita account

Contrary to previous reporting, it looks like the PS Vita will support more than one PSN account. Sort of.

Earlier this week, we reported on the news that Sony would be limiting the Vita to one PSN account. The decision sparked a bit of anger in the gaming community, but it’s not much different from the PSP’s current setup and overall wasn’t that huge a deal. However, Sony has recently made a statement with the intent of clarifying some of the news that’s been flying around – namely, that Vita will in fact support more than one PSN account.

But before you get too excited, there is one catch: you’ll need a separate memory card for each PSN account you wish to use. According to Sony, your account bonds to your memory card – not to your device. If you have more than one memory card, you’ll be able to bond separate accounts to each card and swap back and forth without resetting your system. If you have only one memory card, you’ll need to perform a factory reset every time you want to change accounts.

It’s not the best use of multiple accounts, but it’s certainly better than what we thought we were dealing with. This way, if you have one PSN account for yourself and one for your children, you can save each account to separate memory cards and switch back and forth as you play.

Assuming you want to shell out for more than one of Sony’s ridiculous memory cards, that is.

What do you think of Vita’s PSN support?

Watch the Battlefield 3 Gulf of Oman Trailer

Posted Nov 28, 2011 at 2:15PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: back to karkand, battlefield 3, ea dice, gulf of oman

Back to Karkand is almost here. Can you feel it in the air?

The first DLC pack for Battlefield 3, titled Back to Karkand, is coming very, very soon. Hoping to gin up a little excitement for the re-designed maps, EA and DICE have released a trailer specific to the Gulf of Oman map, which makes its triumphant return from Battlefield 2.

Check it out here:

If you didn’t catch it through the chaos, there are a few new things going on in this trailer. Number one, the Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing jet is back in the game, as is the classic desert buggy. There’s also….is that a bulldozer?! Oh, Battlefield.

Back to Karkand still doesn’t have an official release date, but I’m guessing you can expect it in the second week of December. Here’s why – if it were the first week (i.e. next week), they would have announced it. And it can’t be the third week, since PS3 owners get it a week early, which would put the Xbox/PS3 launch right in the middle of the Christmas holidays. Which means the second week is the most sensible place to drop it.

Of course, that’s just a guess. What do you think of the new vehicles/explosions?

Next-Gen Consoles are On the Way

Posted Nov 16, 2011 at 5:06PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: 720, playstation 4, xbox loop

Microsoft is expected to announce the new Xbox next year and PS4 development is underway. Bring on the rumors!

We’ve been talking a bit about the rumors swirling around Microsoft’s new “Loop” console, and I recently wrote a PoV post about whether it was time for the PlayStation 4. While most commenters seemed to think I was jumping the gun, things look a little different over at Sony studios.

According to a story by edge, Ubisoft Montreal is already working on titles using “target boxes,” which are systems built to the same specifications imagined for the new Xbox. Game development is well underway for the new console, though games media and gamers won’t have much to go on until the official announcement next year. EA is also reported to have access to the tech – Mass Effect 4, anyone?

As for the PS4, Edge reports that one of the larger Sony studios is no longer developing games for PS3 and has shifted its focus to PS4 development. The same studio apparently helped develop the graphics tech used by the “hypothetical” new system. Both companies are likely trying to land their console first, with the 360’s early launch and lower price point landing it far ahead of the PS3, which is still lagging slightly behind.

Edge is speculating that we may see both systems release next year, but that sounds a bit early. What do you think? Is 2012 the year of next-gen, or will it be a one-year head start for Wii U?

Android and iOS Stomp Nintendo and Sony Handhelds

Posted Nov 10, 2011 at 4:19PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: angry birds, psp games

Recent numbers indicate that games for the two mobile platforms have outsold PSP and DS software. Like, by a lot.

Nintendo, I think, is considered the champion of handheld gaming. The Sony PSP has certainly made headway, and the shaky launch of the 3DS combined with Vita’s hype threatens Nintendo’s position in the market, but for the most part, they’ve ruled the handheld roost since launching the Game Boy way back in 1989. Pretty much everyone has a DS, right?

But a new challenger has appeared in recent years, one that has managed to put games in the hands of non-gamers and absolutely demolish both the PSP and Nintendo handhelds in terms of raw software sales: the mobile market.

According to numbers from Flurry, mobile games sales represented an astounding 58% of games sales in the last year, compared to 36% for the Nintendo DS and only 6% for the PSP. That means that mobile games have sold more software than the DS and PSP combined. Sony and Nintendo have earned around $1.4 billion in portable games sales this year, combined to $1.9 billion for Android market and iOS. The industry is certainly changing.

Mobile gaming is going to continue to dominate in terms of raw sales, but I think the writer over at TechCrunch has this point severely wrong: “I think Sony and Nintendo have to come to grips with the fact that iOS and Android are capable of much richer play experiences than PSP or 3DSs are.”

He then goes on to list Angry Birds and Disney’s Mobile AppMates as evidence of these “rich” play experiences. That’s a pretty big jump when you start looking at some of the incredible games we’ve seen on handheld consoles, and when you consider that some of the best games on mobile systems are dumbed-down DS or PSP games.

But he’s right about one thing – by not developing games for the mobile market, Nintendo and Sony are missing a big profit opportunity.

What do you think of these new numbers? Do you think mobile platforms provide “richer” games than the DS or PSP?

Recent numbers indicate that games for the two mobile platforms have outsold PSP and DS software. Like, by a lot.

PS Vita Pre-Orders Selling Out in Japan

Posted Oct 14, 2011 at 4:39PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: Amazon, Japan, pre orders, vita

The new Sony handheld benefits from massive pre-release demand in the country that can often make or break a new system.

According to RPG Site, two of Japan’s biggest online retailers have completely sold out of their PS Vita pre-order stock. In other words, if you didn’t pre-order the system, you’re not getting one when it hits shelves in December. While this is by no means a complete sellout of every Vita on the market, it’s still a strong indicator that the handheld is likely going to be in short supply upon release.

Both Amazon.jp and Yodobashi are sold out of PS Vitas for the moment, even with two different versions of the system to offer. Concerns over the 20mb cap imposed on the 3G version in Japan don’t seem to have dissuaded gamers from pre-ordering the system, and enthusiasm is clearly high.

I tried to Google translate the Japanese blog, Esuteru, that initially broke the story, and the headline I got was, “PlayStation Vita net shop's availability, nearly destroyed the state there is no hope anymore.” While this information is certainly disconcerting, it’s probably more of a translation issue that any real problem with the state or the general hopes of mankind.

Whatever that blog actually says, it does confirm that Amazon, Yodobashi, Bic Camera, Sofmap and Joshin are currently out of pre-orders – these sites represent the largest Japanese online portals for purchasing games and systems.

It will be interesting to see if this enthusiasm carries over into the North American launch, now dated for March. Demand is certainly high, but without a holiday season, perhaps the Vita will be a little easier to come by here in the States.

What do you make of the Vita’s newfound success? Also, can anyone tell me what that webpage actually says?

Wada: Final Fantasy brand now 'greatly damaged'

Posted Sep 27, 2011 at 9:30AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PSP, Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: Final Fantasy, Square Enix, Yoichi Wada

You'll probably be agreeing with what Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has to say about the Final Fantasy brand.

According to him, everything just went downhill following the Final Fantasy XIV launch last year. He made these feelings public at a press conference held in Japan earlier this morning. Despite his concession, however, he stressed that they will "continue with our reform work, which basically amounts to fully redoing the game, and hope to revive the FFXIV that should have been released."

At the recenty concluded TGS, Square Enix confirmed that they will be coming out with a remake of FFX for the PS Vita and the PS3. They're also pushing forward with their online campaign, confirming that Final Fantasy Type-0 will be available via digital distribution as well.
