Unannounced Black Ops 2 Has a Release Date

Posted Mar 1, 2012 at 3:52PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, black ops, call of duty, modern warfare

It’s been almost four months since a Call of Duty game came out. Time to start talking about a new one!

Most people agree that the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise will be Black Ops 2. It’s Treyarch’s turn to develop a CoD title, and the original Black Ops broke pretty much every record set by Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2. And since Activision isn’t one for originality or risk-taking, a straight sequel is all but guaranteed.

Of course, Activision still likes to pretend like it can keep a secret. So even though Black Ops 2 was outed by a retailer last month and everyone pretty much knows it’s coming, the company has gone out of its way to pretend that isn’t the case. Well, add another retailer leak to the pile.

Spanish retailer Fnac not only has Black Ops 2 in its currently video game roster, but has a release window for the still-unannounced title as well: November 2012. Once again, this is less than news—a new Call of Duty game has come out in October or November of every year since 2003.

Seriously, Activision, just announce the game (and the accompanying Black Ops ELITE paid service) already.

Pokemon White/Black 2 Coming Soon

Posted Feb 27, 2012 at 2:05PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Nintendo, pokemon black, pokemon black 2, pokemon white, pokemon white 2

Nintendo has an official launch window for fans of the series.

Pokémon White and Black were the closest thing to a refresh the Pokémon series has received in a long time. While Game Freak didn’t make too many changes to the “throw Pokéball, commence fighting” mechanics of the game, new graphics and streamlined maps made the games seem almost new and innovative.

If you enjoyed Pokémon Black and White, you probably caught wind of the news that a sequel to each is headed your way. And thanks to an official confirmation from Nintendo, we now have some idea of exactly when that will occur. As we noted in the announcement article, the Japan release is set for June. If you live in the U.S. or in Europe, you can expect to be battling away again this fall.

The two games are direct sequels to Black and White, and this announcement marks the first time in the history of the primary series that a title has been given a number in lieu of new colors. Black/White 2 are being released on the Nintendo DS, which indicates that a 3DS-specific Pokémon title is still a ways away. Still, 3DS and DSi owners will have access to special functions (unrevealed, at the moment).

Beyond that basic info, we don’t have many details on Pokémon White/Black 2. We’ll keep you updated as information slips out.

Are you ready to catch ‘em all, again?

Fez is Finished

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 11:43AM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: fez, indie game, indiecade festival, phil fish, polytron, xbla

Phil Fish’s indie masterpiece is ready for release.

Good news, everyone (that loves indie games)! Fez, the game from indie dev Phil Fish, is finally done. Fans of the genre may recognize the game from the Indiecade festival, at which Fez was named Best in Show. It’s also one of the games featured in Indie Game: The Movie.

Polytron the studio behind the game, tweeted last night that the title had officially been completed and is now awaiting Microsoft certification for release on Live arcade. This lands the release window for Fez somewhere around April, though certification times always vary from title to title.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, check out this trailer:

Cool, right? It’s like a strange combination of VVVVVV and….some other game in which the world rotates.

Are you planning to download Fez when it hits XBLA?

EA Feels Your Origin Hate Subsiding

Posted Feb 16, 2012 at 5:27PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: EA, origin, Peter Moore, Steam

EA notes that vitriol from players regarding its unnecessary Origin software is on the decline, and asks for a two-year window to make the service useful.

Origin is a piece of shit. What’s worse, it’s an unnecessary piece of shit. What Origin stumbles through, Steam already had mastered. And the only reason Origin even exists at this point is EA stripping its games from a far superior digital distribution platform and forcing a proprietary service down everyone’s throats. It’s nothing less than a digital coup, and an ugly one at that.

Origin has, naturally, seen its fair share of hate. Most of this hate stems from feelings like those mentioned above, with a bit left over for the terrible customer service offered by the platform. However, EA sees a few rays of light poking through the hate clouds. Chief operating officer Peter Moore, who is largely responsible for the existence of Origin, believes that the software is just a couple of years away from being truly wonderful.

Moore stated that EA is looking for ways to make Origin more social and more interactive, as opposed to just a pipeline for the company to shovel games at players (at exorbitant prices). He also noted that criticism of the platform has mostly died down, and that gamers are learning to embrace Origin’s special brand of online functionality. Hey, when you make something mandatory, how can people not learn to use it?

His comments are actually sort of hilarious—Moore claims that the healthiest decision for the industry is providing players with a way to “shop around” on various services, while his company simultaneously pulls all of its games off competitor’s platforms. Nice one, EA. Regardless of the hypocrisy, Moore does make a smart point when he says the service needs a couple of years; there’s no telling whether Origin will be better or worse in 2014.

What do you think of Origin? Do you see it as one more gaming tool on your PC, or an unwanted and forced intrusion by a greedy company?

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Posted Jan 28, 2012 at 7:47AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Digital Rights Management, DRM, drm-free, rayman, rayman origins, Ubisoft

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Ubisoft have learnt from their past mistakes and making one of the best platformers and coolest games ever made DRM-free later this year.

Rayman Origins surprised everyone late last year with it's release seemingly from nowhere, it turned out to be one of the most colourful beautiful and friendly games I have ever seen, played or spent money on and if you have a PS3 or 360, I suggest you do the same.

Ubisoft announced that the Platformer will be out on March 30th on PC and in better news, all retail copies of the game will be shipped with no DRM. Digital versions will be saddled with whomever they are distributed through (i.e. Steam). So yes the very same Ubisoft who once said that "always on DRM"and regularly blames piracy for their lack of PC games, are sending a game out in the real world to deal with the pirates and hackers and evil people of the internets.

I think it's a bold move from Ubisoft to show they can make a game, have it be successful and (hopefully) port it successfully to the PC and still make a bundle off it. I think the game would really suit being on the PC, as more and more of my favourite platformers are turning up on there. Also with controller support from classic USB controllers and for those new-gen people who still want to use their 360, go right ahead.

The PC specs were also released and are as follows:

Here are the announced system specs:

Minimum configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64 3000+ @ 1.8 Ghz

Memory: 1 GB Windows XP / 1.5 GB Windows Vista – Windows 7

Graphics: 128 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon X600XT or GeForce 6800GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Recommended configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Core2Duo E4400 @ 2.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64X2 3800+ @ 2.00Ghz

Memory: 2 GB Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7

Graphics: 256 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon HD 2600XT or GeForce 8600GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Rayman Origins was release for the 360, PS3 and Wii last year in November. In addition to the PC, the game is also headed to the Playstation Vita and Nintendo 3DS on February 14 and March 20 respectively. It looks like Ubisoft have all the bases covered and I do hope it pays off for them. More Rayman Origins, less of the Rabbids, I say!

Xbox Live Games coming to Android

Posted Jan 26, 2012 at 4:30PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: android, ios, Microsoft, windows phone, xbox live

Take that, Windows phones!

Want to play Xbox Live games but don’t have your Xbox nearby? How about an Android phone? According to one developer with a bit of inside information, Microsoft is currently working on an Xbox Live app for Android which will bring many of the service’s functionalities directly to Android users – including the ability to play games from Xbox Live Arcade.

This story actually broke thanks to a job posting on the official Microsoft careers website. The posting indicated that Microsoft had intentions to bring the Live service to Windows Phone, iOS and “other mobile platforms.” A quick bit of calling around, and it was easy to find a developer willing to confirm that Android was on the table. It’s a bit of an odd piece of news, since Microsoft has leaned so heavily on Xbox Live being exclusive to Windows Phone.

However, it’s always good to give your customers more ways to access your service. And while Microsoft isn’t conceding defeat in the mobile wars, they are aware that the Android and iOS markets are trouncing them in terms of mobile game sales. If they want to compete, bringing the Live app to Android and other platforms is essentially the only way to do it.

There’s no information on when we can expect an Android Xbox Live app, but we here at QJ will keep you posted as details emerge.

What do you think of Xbox Live on your Android phone?

Wii U Confirmed for 2012

Posted Jan 26, 2012 at 3:39PM EST by Listed in: Wii U Tags: Playstation, Satoru Iwata, wii u release, xbox

Nintendo makes official what most have us have known for months.

Nintendo’s Wii U console was expected to land in 2012, although we’ve been waiting for some sort of official word from the company on an exact release window. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata finally put an end to the speculation in interviews conducted last week, confirming once and for all that the Wii U is targeted at a pre-holiday 2012 launch.

Iwata hedged his bets, of course, and let reports know that Nintendo’s plans could always evolve as the market shifts or development progresses on the device. Iwata also stated that the Wii U’s release is currently scheduled only for “key markets,” including the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia.

Honestly, Nintendo has to get their system out in 2012. They can’t afford to go head-to-head with both Microsoft and Sony, and the Wii’s head start on the market is a large part of its incredible success. With Sony and Microsoft narrowing their console release schedules, Nintendo’s chance to leap ahead of the pack is getting smaller and smaller.

Will you purchase a Wii U, or are you waiting for the new Xbox/PlayStation?

Guild Wars 2 Launches in 2012; Beta Aimed at Spring

Posted Jan 23, 2012 at 11:59AM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: ArenaNet, guild wars, Guild Wars 2, NCsoft

The long-delayed sequel to ArenaNet’s popular MMORPG gets another release window and a public beta.

Guild Wars is one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market, selling over six million copies and standing as a shining example of how to run a successful online game without charging a subscription fee. Its sequel, Guild Wars 2, was announced way back in 2007, but has yet to see the light of day.

Fans of the franchise got their first look at Guild Wars 2 back in 2009, and ArenaNet announced that the game would be ready for a 2011 release. Later that year, NCsoft CEO Jaeho Lee pushed the game back to 2011, with a public beta aimed for some time in 2010. Neither came to fruition.

2012 appears, in the words of ArenaNet, to be the year of Guild Wars. Company president Mike O’Brien posted a quick statement on the official ArenaNet blog outlining details of Guild Wars’ development schedule – look for a full release sometime this year, and a public beta starting in March. This beta will expand through the month of April, and fans are encouraged to check in on the official site for further information.

Are you waiting for Guild Wars 2?
