Watch: French Dudes Talking About Game of Thrones

Bad translation aside, these guys from Cyanide prove that they've been way into Game of Thrones long before most of the rest of us. Thankfully, they aren't in costume.

To fully complete Resident Evil 6, you'll have to sink in over a day of gameplay. This special edition is cool and all (and I love Resident Evil), but the asking price is a little steep.

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?

Devil May Cry HD Collection gets a Launch Date

Posted Dec 20, 2011 at 5:01PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: dantes awakening, devil may cry, devil may cry 2, devil may cry 3

Dante comes crashing back to consoles in a remastered collection featuring his greatest adventures.

Love Devil May Cry? Well, do we ever have good news for you. The good folks over at Capcom have just confirmed that Devil May Cry: HD Collection is heading your way in April of 2012, and is jam-packed with all of the demon-slaying goodness you’ve come to love and expect in the franchise.

The collection will include improved versions of the original Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening. The games will support trophies and achievements, and will include what Capcom is calling “a wealth” of additional content. Details are sparse, but we can only assume that means costumes and other interesting add-ons.

Devil May Cry HD Collection will be available on both PS3 and Xbox 360 – a cool moment for Xbox owners that never had a chance to get in on the series. HD collections seem to be the way of the future, with more and more studios revisiting old classics and slightly improving them for a quick buck.

Of course, if the end result is getting to play a game you love, there’s probably nothing wrong with the move. As long as the games remain reasonably priced – Devil May Cry HD Collection will launch at $39.99. Not too shabby.

Would you buy a remastered version of Devil May Cry?

You Got Your Assassin’s Creed in My FFXIII-2

Posted Dec 3, 2011 at 9:30AM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: ffxiii-2, final fantasy xiii-2, Square Enix, Ubisoft

Assassin’s Creed is coming to Square Enix’s upcoming RPG epic. Yes, really.

Downloadable content certainly has a way of making you question the good sense of developers. Most of the time a DLC pack makes sense, but every now and then, a game company does something that really makes you scratch your head.

Case in point, Square Enix just announced that Final Fantasy XIII-2 players will have a very special costume available for purchase and download, that of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise will immediately recognize the name, for Ezio is one of the most important characters in the Assassin’s Creed world.

Ezio’s costume will be an optional outfit for one of the new characters introduced in FFXIII-2, Noel Kreiss. FFXIII-2 is already stacking up an impressive list of DLC content, with weapons, costumes, and boss battles confirmed for the game months before its actual release. While it may not make since to western gamers to mix Ubisoft and Square Enix games, the two companies are pretty tight in Japan – Square Enix is the primary distributor for Ubisoft games. Square Enix is apparently a big deal in Japan; they also distributed Modern Warfare 3.

Look for the downloadable Ezio outfit to show up sometime after the launch of Final Fantasy XIII-2 (duh), which is scheduled for release sometime in early 2012. There’s no further information on whether it will be free, an exclusive, or what, so stay tuned for future updates.

Saints Row Stats are…Disturbing

Posted Dec 1, 2011 at 4:52PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: saints row, steelport, the penetrator, THQ

THQ knows what you’ve been doing in Saints Row The Third, and they’re very, very disappointed in you.

Saints Row the Third is celebrated for the freedom it gives players. If you want to wear a bear costume around and beat up pedestrians, that’s quite okay with Saints Row. In fact, there’s not much you can’t do in the games fictional city of Steelport.

THQ build an impressive stats-tracking mechanism directly into Saints Row the Third, which in addition to helping you show off to your friends, gives the developer the ability to aggregate information regarding player habits and actions.

In a recent post on the official Saints Row site, THQ shared some of the more interesting statistics with the gaming public. Namely:

5.8 billion citizens of the city have been killed

Players have spent two years running around naked

650 hot dog guys have been killed by flamethrowers

Oh, and let’s not overlook the weirdest stat – since launch, 2 million people have been killed by giant purple dildos.

I’m not sure what to make of all this, except that Saints Row players are apparently having a really, really good time. Carry on!

Have you killed anyone with a dildo yet? What are you waiting for?

DC Universe Free to Play and Profitable

Posted Nov 23, 2011 at 8:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: MMORPG, PC Gaming, PS3 Tags: dc universe online, dcuo, f2p, free to play, Sony Online Entertainment

DC Universe Free to Play and Profitable

Looks like The Joker took a good portion of your money...oh wait, nope that was just Sony Online.

I always feel writing the small captions to entice readers in should be funny or at least related to the story or a quote, but that one was just ridiculous and I more than apologies. Well, it looks like DC Universe's switch to Free to Play has paid off with the game recieving more than a 700% increase in revenue in only a few weeks after going free to play.

That's not just oh, it's been a few months and it's up 700% it's actually up 700% for daily revenue. The free to play model started on November 1st and their boss John Smedley could not be happier about the decision, so happy he tweeted about it and has continued to for the past few days.

That 700% is split between the PS3 and PC version, with more Sony players (53%) than PC gamers (47%) are going for the new model, with an increase of players at 6% per day and with over eighty per cent are recurring players, who are buying new costumes, new skins and items on a daily basis.

Smedley tweeted that he was "really happy with how [it was] doing." However, DCUO has suffered slightly in the past month as Smedley acknowledges, with more people, more servers and mo' problems. There are a few stability and lag problems, and Sony has said that they are working to increase the capacity of its game servers.

"We are at a 900% concurrent increase since we launched f2p. We are working on getting subscribers to the front of the line," Smedley tweeted. "Very bluntly this has been a wee bit more successful than we planned on. Sorry." However, the day after this tweet it was revealed (by Smedley) that DCUO was running at over 1000 percent of its pre-free-to-play concurrent user numbers. Better get cracking SOE.

Exclusive Final Fantasy XIII-2 Weapon at GameStop

Posted Nov 22, 2011 at 4:35PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: final fantasy xiii-2, GameStop, genji bow

The pre-order exclusives for Final Fantasy XIII-2 just keep on coming, with Square Enix and GameStop announcing yet another bonus for pre-order customers.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is supposed to be everything that Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t, but we won’t know if Square Enix has succeeded at that until later next year. In the meantime, all we have to go on are the pre-order bonuses that keep cropping up all over the place, with everything from boss fights to bonus weapons being mentioned depending on where you choose to buy.

GameStop already has the exclusive costume for Serah, but it looks like they realized that Amazon has the drop on them with the Omega boss battle, so they’re upping the ante with this weapon:

The Genji Bow takes the form of either a bow or sword (duh) and allows you to attack more frequently, whatever that means. Not sure if it refills your ATB gauge faster or gives you a haste bonus, but it’s an in-combat boost either way. Here’s the catch though: the Genji Bow is only available to PowerUP Rewards members that pre-order the game; regular pre-orders will not receive anything besides the costume.

The bonus item is retroactive – if you’ve already pre-ordered and you’re a member, you’ll automatically receive it with your copy of FFXIII-2.

Pre-order bonuses mostly serve to make games review-proof by encouraging people to buy things before they read about them or try them, but we’re starting to see bonuses splintered into more and more specific tiers.

What do you think about offering a reward only to special sections of your customer base?

Pre-Order Saints Row: The Third, Get Team Fortress Outfit

Posted Nov 12, 2011 at 5:35PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: saints row, steam pre-orders, team fortress

Valve continues their recent trend of adding ridiculous costumes and hats to Team Fortress 2 with a Saints Row: The Third costume for your Heavy.

There was a time when characters in Team Fortress 2 looked like characters from Team Fortress 2. Nowadays, most TF2 matches play out like a gathering of the “Club for Silly Hats,” which, honestly, makes the game even more fun. Hate on the hats all you want, the same basic gameplay still fuels an engaging and often hilarious experience.

Valve isn’t showing any sign of slowing TF2 accessory development, and has announced this special costume for your Heavy if you pre-order Saints Row on Steam.

If you’ve ever wanted to charge around Dustbowl with a Luchador mask and diamond boxing gloves, this is certainly the pre-order bonus for you. It’s cute to see developers promoting each other’s games – if only more companies could get in on this sort of thing, the whole industry might be a little more fun. After all, who wouldn’t want a Master Chief costume for their Commander Shepard, or a Mario hat for their Drake?

Right?

US Final Fantasy XIII-2 Has a Collector’s Edition

Posted Nov 10, 2011 at 2:24PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Final Fantasy, Square Enix

If you though Europe was going to get all of the good stuff, this announcement should warm your Final Fantasy-loving heart.

We heard last month that Final Fantasy XII-2 would be getting a pretty cool collector’s edition when released in the European market, but Square Enix was quiet about whether fans in the States could expect to see something similar.

Well, the wait is over. Here is your Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector’s Edition:

And if you’re one of the people that decides to upgrade your game to the CE, here’s what you can expect to find:

“Premium” packaging with art by Yoshitaka Amano

4-disc game soundtrack

Concept art book

It’s not really a massive collector’s edition compared to some of the craziness we’ve seen lately, but it is priced at a much more comfortable $79.99. That’s only $20 more than usual, as opposed to Skyrim’s insane price doubling.

You can order the CE from Amazon or at Best Buy or GameStop, with different bonuses depending on where you go. GameStop orders receive a costume for Serah, Amazon customers get the Omega fight, and Best Buy orders get a prequel novel. I’d say Amazon has the edge here.

What would you like to see added to the Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector’s Edition?

If you didn’t make it to Blizzcon, you can still enjoy some of the festivities by voting on your favorite costume from its legendary costume contest.

The Blizzcon costume contest is probably the most fun event of the weekend. Costumes that run the gamut from incredible to hilarious are all on display, and the judges often have a tough task in deciding a winner. Now that Blizzcon is wrapped up, Blizzard is giving fans the opportunity to participate in an online costume contest by voting on the Blizzcon costumes they liked the most.

Here’s the rundown on the contest, straight from Blizzard:

We’re giving 20 contestants we weren’t able to recognize at BlizzCon a second chance at sartorial glory, by offering you a chance to vote on your favorites. We’ve added images of each contestant to a brand-new Costume Contest Voting Gallery. Each contestant’s picture is marked with a number. That’s where you come in; just make note of the number belonging to your favorite costume, then head over to our poll to cast your vote.

The costumes that earn the most votes will earn a chance at some impressive loot, including cash prizes of $1,000, $750, and $500. Runners-up will receive a SteelSeries prize package that includes 5H V2 Headphones, a 7G Keyboard, and an Ikari Optical Mouse or a World of Warcraft virtual pet package that includes Lil' Ragnaros, Moonkin Hatchling, Lil' K.T., Pandaren Monk, and Lil' XT.

You can check out the gallery by clicking this link. Hey, it’s not like you have anything important to do today, right? I’m partial to the Minecraft paladin, but I’d also really like to take contestant #4 out on a date.

Which costume do you think is the coolest?

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Launching in March

Posted Oct 29, 2011 at 6:16PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Capcom, operation raccoon city, resident evil

The latest iteration in the zombie-killing, survival horror franchise gets an official update and a few collectors’ edition goodies.

If you love avoiding the effects of the T-virus, exploring scary environments filled with zombies, and generally doing all things Resident Evil, you’re in luck – the next game in the series is headed your way on March 12, 2012. Capcom confirmed the release date late this week, and with it, some details regarding what fans can expect from the game and its collector’s edition.

Raccoon City features six different playable characters, a marked change from Resident Evils of the past. Gamers who pre-order from Best Buy, Amazon or GameStop will receive a special costume for all six characters in addition to a set of weapons specifically reserved for those who plunk their money down early – useful considering this specific iteration of the franchise will focus more on action and less on survival.

Here’s what you’ll see in the collector’s edition:

• Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

• Steelbook with exclusive art

• Stylized foil sleeve

• Umbrella Security Service and Spec Ops Field Unit embroidered patches

• All eight bonus weapons

Operation Raccoon City will hit shelves on March 20th, 2012, but only for PS3 and Xbox 360 owners. While a PC version of the game has been confirmed, there is no official release date available.

EA Launches Battlefield 3 in London – With Tanks

Posted Oct 28, 2011 at 12:22PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: battlefield 3, ea media, london launch

EA celebrates the UK launch of Battlefield 3 by turning London into a war zone and bringing tanks to the busy streets of downtown.

If you picked up Battlefield 3 this week at a midnight launch, what was the coolest thing that happened? Someone show up in costume? The store gave away some accessories? I’m sure it seemed cool at the time, but nothing is quite as awesome as rolling tanks through busy downtown intersections.

EA, with the cooperation of London, has rolled a series of tanks out onto the streets of London. Each tank has a sign on top that says “Tanksi,” and they’re apparently giving people rides to and from their morning destinations. Contrary to EA’s usual style, they’re also offering the rides free of charge.

Tom Goldberger of EA had this to say about the insane launch event:

“Tanksis have been brought to the Capital to make the urban battlefield that is London's roads more of a joy than the daily chore they currently are. We wanted to launch Battlefield 3 in style and are looking forward to ferrying excited game fans and commuters around the city today.”

There’s no word on how long the tanks will stick around, but if you happen to be in London you can try and track one down – they’re patrolling around Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben.

EA’s media blitz seems to be working; as of this morning, Battlefield has shipped 10 million units – not too shabby, EA.

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?

Posted Oct 5, 2011 at 6:18AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: D3 Publisher, onechanbara z: kagura

Japanese fans will have a taste of D3 Publisher's Xbox 360 exclusive title, Onechanbara Z: Kagura come January of next year.

The publisher has revealed that the game will be coming out on January 19, 2012. On top of that, there will be a bonus item for the first-run copies of the game, which, reportedly, is a card featuring the "risque swimwear" costume for either of the lead playable characters.

Judging by the pictures they've sent out of the said swimwear, the "wear" part is hardly even there. Good thing the game features two sisters, otherwise the swimsuit, if on a male, only would remind you of Borat in that yellow "bikini" of his.

No word yet on a North American release for the game, but it's never too late to hope.

Resident Evil: Revelations Gets a Release Date

Posted Oct 4, 2011 at 12:05PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds, GameStop, pre-order bonus, resident evil revelations

The newest entry in Capcom’s survival-horror franchise finally has an official release, as well as a limited-edition 3DS protective case.

“Resident Evil” set a standard for survival horror. Limited inventory space, scarce ammunition and non-linked storage boxes forced players to think through their actions; if you were reckless with ribbons and ammunition early on, the later part of the game would prove to be quite difficult. With a few exceptions, subsequent “Resident Evil” titles slowly shed the survival aspect of the game, each game focusing more on action than the last and forgoing many of the things that made the first one so challenging and engaging.

Capcom’s latest entry, “Resident Evil: Revelations,” promises a return to form. The game’s events take place in between those of “Resident Evil 4” and “Resident Evil 5” and center on old friend Jill Valentine who has been sent to investigate mysterious happenings on a cruise ship. It turns out that Chris Redfield, another classic character, somehow vanished from the ship without a trace. You’ll explore the ship and other locations as you work to unravel the mystery and, naturally, stay alive.

The game sticks to the original’s mechanics of limited item supply and puzzle solving, but adds a new feature in the form of the item scanner. This special device can help you locate items strewn about the environment – pretty handy considering all of the ribbons I basically never found the first time around.

“Resident Evil: Revelations” is officially set to launch on Nintendo’s 3DS system February 7, 2012. If you pre-order the game from GameStop, you’ll also receive a limited-edition protective case for your 3DS that changes designs based on whether it’s in the sun.

The pre-order bonus does feel gimmicky, but it’s nice to see a bonus that gives players something real rather than some nonsense costume or weapon skin.

Are you ready for another Umbrella-themed adventure in the dark? Do you prefer the limited ammunition and strategy of early “Resident Evil” titles, or did you enjoy the more fast-paced sequels?

New patch released for Mortal Komabt

Posted Sep 24, 2011 at 3:55AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: mortal kombat, netherrealm studios

A new patch has been released for Mortal Kombat by NetherRealm Studios, bringing in some more tweaks and fixes to further improve your gaming experience.

The patch didn't release simultaneously on both consoles, however, with the Xbox 360 getting it first. PS3 owners will have to wait a bit later, specifically a few more days.

The update also included a lot of changes for the characters, which definitely gives a boost to those who are not as competitive to begin with. In the meantime, here are the gameplay fixes and tweaks now available on Mortal Kombat's latest update:

General Gameplay Fixes/Tweaks

Fixed a couple of crash scenarios.

DLC billboards should now behave correctly on Xbox

You should no longer see online desyncs on Xbox that are related to alternate costumes or classic costume DLC packs.

MOTD handling and displaying code was tweaked.

Fixed a bug that could have resulted in tweakvars getting corrupted.

Fixed a crash in player select if you tried to exit out while the dlc box was open.

With the exception of Human Cyrax and Human Sektor, everyone’s alternate costumes should behave the same as their primary costumes and have the exact same move properties.

You can now block after a dash forward is completed if it was cancelled into from a special move. You canceling out of a dash into another dash was normalized for most of the characters. Dash Block canceling remains the same.

Wakeup attacks should have better invulnerability on them if done in the first 4 frames of the wakeup window. (this was added as a hotfix tweakable value)

You no longer get a completely free throw attempt after someone blocks your jump punch. The opponent has less block hit frames but chained combos from a jump punch will remain the same.

There were several reactions that could freeze players just before they landed from attacks and reactions such as Kano’s Airball and Cyrax’s Net air reaction.

Made many minor hitbox adjustments.

Tweaked the negative edge window.

Several low attacks were being parried incorrectly.

Nightwolf and Kenshi can no longer still absorb a projectile if they get hit out of their enhanced reflects before the recovery frames start.

The Mortal Kombat continues to expand its reach, but despite fans' clamor, a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat title is "easier said than done", this according to Capcom's big boss himself, Yoshinori Ono.
