Watch This: Live-Action Mass Effect Trailer

Posted Feb 28, 2012 at 1:24PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: EA, mass effect 3

EA’s marketing blitz rolls on with the latest ad for Mass Effect 3.

Another day, another trailer for Mass Effect 3. However, the offering we have today isn’t merely some re-cut, extended version of a trailer we’ve already seen—it’s an all-new , (semi) live-action trailer featuring crying people, barking dogs, looting and most of the other stuff you’d expect to see as a result of an ongoing Reaper invasion.

You can watch the trailer right here:

One thing that’s notable about this particular trailer is that it doesn’t focus much on Commander Shepard or his/her crew. And while there’s value to showing the more human side of the conflict that unfolds in the game, it’s a curious decision to remove Shepard and the other stars of the game from the equation besides a bit of blurry running and shooting.

What did you think of the trailer? Will it inspire new Mass Effect 3 sales?

PoV: Vita Will Fail

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 10:35AM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: nintendo 3ds vs ps vita, ps vita sales, sony fails

Sony’s savior is nothing more than PSP: the sequel.

Warning: This article contains – gasp! – my opinion. If your delicate sensibilities can’t grasp reading something counter to your own beliefs, perhaps you should mosey along to something you’ll find easier to digest. Here’s a suggestion.

Read the comments on this site, and you’ll see that I’m a bona fide Sony hater. Curiously enough, I’m also an Xbox, Android and Nintendo hater, depending on the comments you read. Basically, if you ask the readers of this site, I hate everything.

Reader contention aside, it is true that I’ve never been a fan of the Sony brand. This is the result of several factors: the “quantity over quality” approach they’ve always taken towards game development, their absurd comments about the superiority of their consoles despite sales data saying otherwise, and their documented tendency to screw their playerbase.

I believe the Sony Vita will fail. Not on the scale of the Virtual Boy or Jaguar, but in the sense that it will not overtake the Nintendo 3DS, and will not extend Sony’s grasp on the handheld market far beyond what the PSP already provided. This belief comes not from my admitted distaste for Sony, but from the tepid response the device has seen since Japanese launch, the lukewarm reviews offered to the system’s launch lineup, and the unfolding clusterfucks related to the new system that indicate Sony hasn’t learned how to make a system that’s easy to use and fun to own.

Put simply, the PS Vita is too little, too late. And no matter how you feel about Sony, it’s not going to change this simple fact: Nintendo remains the king of the handheld kingdom for the foreseeable future.

Sorry Sony fanboys; it looks like you’re out of luck.

Sony’s savior is nothing more than PSP: the sequel.

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 4:30PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Bethesda, patch 1.4, skyrim

Bethesda releases full patch notes for their latest Skyrim update, now in the certification testing.

It seems like it’s been forever since the launch of Skyrim, but millions of gamers are still spending their free time slaying dragons and “accidentally” murdering their followers. And, as is customary with Bethesda games, Skyrim still has a fair few issues interfering with players’ ability to fully enjoy the game.

The company is more than aware of Skyrim’s issues and has been working non-stop to get them fixed –especially the ever-present PS3 bug that makes the game nearly unplayable for some users.

Zynga Purchases Four Mobile Developers

Posted Jan 19, 2012 at 4:49PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: gamedoctors, hiplogic, mobile ape, page44 studios, zynga

The social gaming giant continues its push into the mobile market.

Zynga hasn’t been doing so great as of late, with attendance on their social games a pale shadow of what they used to be. But the company is on the prowl for ways to expand its business model, and has the mobile market at the center of its crosshairs. Early today, Zynga confirmed that it has acquired no fewer than four mobile developers with the intent of extending its mobile grasp.

Gamedoctors, HipLogic, Page44 Studios and Mobile Ape were all confirmed to have been picked up, giving Zynga a deep portfolio from which to choose and a few established franchises on which to build. All things considered, it’s a smart move for the company, especially when you consider their stock has been steadily declining in value since the company went public back in December.

There’s no information on what games Zynga plans to make or how the company will be using its new development studios, but we’ll keep you posted as information becomes available.

In the meantime, what do you think of Zynga snapping up smaller studios?

Hey Everyone – Doom is Back on XBLA

Posted Jan 18, 2012 at 4:21PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: doom, id Software, xbla, ZeniMax

Back in October of 2010, Doom was removed from the Xbox Live Arcade lineup due to expiring rights. When Zenimax expired Id Software, it sort of threw all of the latter company’s franchises into the air. Of course, Zenimax did note that the games would return soon – which apparently means “In about a year.”

If you’ve been patiently waiting for Doom to show up on XBLA again, today is your day. You can download it right this very minute, for the low, low price of $5. It’s sort of amazing when you think of it – with all this innovation and all these million-dollar games, we’re still spending money on the game that basically invented the FPS genre.

If you’d like to download the game, here’s a link: Doom

Besides, Reddit is down. How else are you going to spend your day?

Doom’s extended hiatus from the digital delivery platform ends today.

Mortal Kombat Confirmed for Vita

Posted Jan 17, 2012 at 12:46PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: blazblue, continuum shift extend, marvel vs. capcom, mortal kombat, netherrealm, ps vita, street fighter, Tekken

The only thing better than performing bloody fatalities is performing them on the go.

Fans of fights to the death rejoice, for Mortal Kombat is coming to your PS Vitas. The game, developed by NetherRealm specifically for the Vita, doesn’t have an official street date quite yet, but all indications point to a spring release – Fatality!

Details are scarce on the upcoming fighter; what we know is that the Vita version of Mortal Kombat was built around portable gaming and features a few new game mechanics to take advantage of the Vita’s unique control scheme. Look for details over the next couple of months, as all we have to go on at the moment is the official announcement from NetherRealm.

Mortal Kombat is just the latest in a fairly long stream of fighters for the Vita – Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter x Tekken and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend are all expected in the first few months of the system’s western release.

Will you be compelled to buy a Vita now that Mortal Kombat is heading to the system?

Riot Games Speaks Out on SOPA

Posted Jan 12, 2012 at 2:18PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: league of legends, pipa, riot games, sopa

Yet another developer takes a stand against the controversial bill.

League of Legends developer Riot Games does not like SOPA. In fact, the company believes that the implementation of the bill would be catastrophic, and that the bill threatens free speech in addition to gaming communities. But Riot isn’t content to merely oppose the bill – the company wants your help.

Riot CEO Brandon Beck issued a lengthy statement on the game’s official website, detailing he and the company’s primary concerns with both the PIPA and SOPA bills. He listed just a few of the possible consequences of the bill, summarized here:

Death of livestreaming

Danger to the modding community

Threatens fansites and forums

Undermines existing legislation

Beck went on to provide a link to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, one of the primary organizations standing in opposition to SOPA. He also requested that fans of LoL contact their congressional representatives and let them know what they think of the bill. Overall, this is one of the most complete responses we’ve seen against SOPA, one that extends far beyond simply saying, “We don’t like it.”

You can read the full statement here: League of Legends Official Forums

If you want to take a stand against SOPA, you can use the EFF’s website to look up your representatives and send a letter to all of them at once. Here’s the link: Electronic Frontier Foundation

Are you glad to see developers taking a stand against SOPA?

A leaked GameStop document hints that North America’s Vita launch may be accompanied by more games than previously thought.

We talked a couple of weeks ago about Vita’s confirmed launch titles, but it looks like a few games managed to slip through the radar. A leaked internal document from games retailer GameStop indicates that there are more titles hitting shelves than we were led to believe, chief among them Gravity Rush and Lumines.

Destructoid acquired an update launch list thanks to one of their clever readers, who likely scored the document from a friend or works at GameStop himself. Take a look at the list and see what you like:

Launch Day

Lumines Electronic Symphony --$39.99

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 --$39.99

Want to know what games are hitting shelves with the Vita when it drops here in the U.S.? Check out our list!

Today has been an interesting day for Vita news. First, we got an idea of how expensive the device’s memory cards were actually going to be (read: not very). Now, we have a confirmed and official list of every game that will be available at launch. And the list is pretty long, especially when compared to some other launches.

Some of the games are likely not going to be great, but the presence of Uncharted and Hot Shots Golf are enough to ensure Sony sells at least a few thousand devices. And hey, who doesn’t love Katamari?

Here’s your launch list:

SCEA Launch Day Titles

Escape Plan (PSN Only)

Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational

Hustle Kings (PSN Only)

Little Deviants

ModNation Racers: Road Trip

Super StarDust Delta (PSN only)

UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss

FFXII-2 Tops Japanese Sales Charts

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 4:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy xiii, golden abyss, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, uncharted

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

If there’s one thing Japan loves, it’s Final Fantasy. So it’s not entirely surprising that Final Fantasy XIII-2, which launched earlier this week for Japanese gamers, has already rocketed to the top of the sales charts. The game moved 500,000 copies in its first week of release, toppling Monster Hunter 3G from the top of the charts and renewing confidence in the Final Fantasy brand.

Of course, Japanese sales trends aren’t always indicative of western performance (as I said, Monster Hunter was #1 until this happened), but it’s definitely good news for Square Enix that their hardcore fan base wasn’t so upset with FFXIII that they abandoned the brand entirely. The actual sales figure, around 525,000, accounts only for PS3 versions of the game.

Some Vita titles also managed to make the list, a good sign for the fledgling handheld. Here’s the top 20, for those of you that like tracking Japanese game sales:

01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, 12/15): 525,271

02. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G (Capcom, 12/10): 208,427 (730,386)

03. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 12/01): 182,418 (789,871)

04. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go (Level-5, 12/15): 135,259

05. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 11/03): 112,533 (837,143)

06. [WII] Kirby Wii (Nintendo, 10/27): 71,028 (398,516)

07. [PSV] Hot Shots Golf 6 (Sony, 12/17): 61,412

08. [PSV] Uncharted Golden Abyss (Sony, 12/17): 48,224

09. [WII] Just Dance Wii (Nintendo, 10/13): 44,021 (323,293)

10. [WII] Poke Park 2 (Pokemon, 11/12): 43,829 (164,018)

11. [WII] Wii Party (Pokemon, 07/08/10): 42,632 (2,129,236)

12. [NDS] Magician's Quest: The Merchant's Store of Sorcery (Konami, 12/10): 35,068 (81,110)

13. [WII] Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Pokemon, 11/12): 34,351 (64,573)

14. [PS3] Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru (Chunsoft, 12/17): 33,686

15. [PS3] BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (Arc System Works, 12/17): 32,992

20. [NDS] One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 (Namco Bandai, 11/17): 28,406 (207,458)

Nintendo is clearly the king of the party in Japan, despite the temporary dominance of one game or another. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how FFXIII-2 is received here in the west. The previous game was the best selling in the history of the franchise, but also landed to lukewarm reviews.

How do you think FFXIII-2 will do when it’s released in the west? Also, don’t you just hate typing “FFXIII-2?”

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

Hack MW3, Catch a 5,000 Day Ban

Posted Dec 14, 2011 at 4:36PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Infinity Ward, modern warfare 3

Infinity Ward is issuing perma-bans that aren’t exactly permanent, but might as well be.

Want to get banned from Modern Warfare 3 for the next 13 years? All you need to do is skirt the rules of the game by hacking, power leveling or performing some other stupid task, then get caught. Infinity Ward is issuing permanent bans to players caught breaking the rules, although the bans may not be as permanent as one might think.

While the message players receive indicates that the suspension is only temporary, the timeframe is pretty amazing – 5,000 days. That means, assuming the suspension isn’t extended, your account won’t come back online until 2024. By then, we’ll be up to Modern Warfare 25.

If you receive this message, it means you’re banned, not suspended. Apparently, Infinity Ward doesn’t have a mechanism in place for applying permanent bans, so they’ve gone with the next best thing – suspending your account until the game has long been made irrelevant.

Robert Bowling, creative strategist for the Modern Warfare brand, confirmed that if you see this message, you did something very, very stupid. So play by the rules, and avoid the perma-ban!

Call of Duty Elite Founder Registration Ends Tomorrow

Posted Nov 30, 2011 at 5:03PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Activision, battlelog, call of duty, cod elite, modern warfare 3

If you want to be take advantage of CoD Elite Founder bonuses, today’s your last day to register.

Call of Duty Elite has seen its share of ups and downs. While the PC version is still on some vague horizon and the console versions have experienced crashes and other access problems due to huge surges in demand, the service has proven successful beyond Activision’s wildest dreams. Millions of players have signed up to take advantage of the features the service provides.

Every player that signs up for CoD Elite before the end of November is given what Activision calls “Founder” status. Founder status comes with a few specific perks, including an in-game title, in-game emblem, weapon camo, clan XP and special contests and prizes.

If you’re really into Modern Warfare 3, or Call of Duty in general, CoD Elite is an excellent service for you. Even if you don’t earn Founder status, you’ll still have access to all of the basic features offered by COD Elite. But you can still get in on Founder bonuses if you register before the calendar rolls over to December 1st.

Of course, there’s one other method for getting into the Founders club after the deadline: spending more money. If you pick up the Modern Warfare 3: Hardened Edition, you’ll be grandfathered into the Founder’s club regardless of when you register.

There’s no info available on how this impacts PC owners, since Elite isn’t live for them quite yet. I’m trying to get someone at Activision to give me a statement or update – we’ll see.

Are you enjoying Elite so far? How does it compare to Battlelog?

Yakuza 5 is Apparently Massive

Posted Nov 26, 2011 at 10:00AM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: ps3 exclusive, Sega, yakuza 4, yakuza 5

Sega’s decision to push the game out of its normal schedule results in a big win for players.

The Yakuza series, at first, was updated like clockwork. Sega’s initial design for the franchise was a new sequel almost every year, with Yakuza landing in 2006, Yakuza 2 hitting 2008, 3 released in 2009 and 4 in 2010. It’s a release schedule that shouldn’t be unfamiliar to gamers, especially in 2011, the year of thirds.

But Sega elected to push Yakuza 5 out of its release schedule, which at the time had some gamers concerned about the project’s viability. But Sega’s intent with the extra development time is becoming more clear now that some details on the game have been released to the public.

The producer of Yakuza 5, Masayoshi Yokoyama, has indicated that this game is intended to be the San Andreas of its franchise, i.e. a game that dramatically expands on the precedents set in previous games and creates an entirely new experience in the process. Some things remain, like the core gameplay and the fact that the game is a PS3 exclusive, but almost everything else is being rebuilt from the ground up.

The intent of the developers is to include five complete cities in Yakuza 5 – if you’ve played any of the previous titles, Yokoyama indicated that each city will be similar in scale to Sotenbori or Ryuku. He likens the development process to creating five games at the same time, and I wouldn’t doubt him for a second – cities are very hard to build.

There’s still not much info regarding when Yakuza 5 will actually hit shelves, but for now you can assume it’s quite a ways away. Late 2012 or early 2013 are probably the best-case scenarios.

But, it looks like the game that does land will be a more powerful, more interesting and more impressive version of the franchise.

What do you think about Yakuza’s extended development time? Worth it, or too long to wait?

Happy Birthday, World of Warcraft

Posted Nov 21, 2011 at 1:03PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: Activision Blizzard, World of Warcraft

Blizzard’s massively successful MMO celebrates its seventh year with some special bonuses for players.

Seven years. We’ve been playing World of Warcraft for seven years. If you were born the day WoW came out, you’d be in first/second grade right now. Remember that Usher song, “Yeah!”? That was the same year WoW came out. Hell, when WoW came out, there was no such thing as Activision Blizzard.

Blizzard is more than aware of how incredible it is to see such great extended success, and is looking to thank players for their dedication with some in-game goodies. This follows the tradition of previous birthdays, but this year is just a little different.

The Blizzard Celebration Package includes a few cool things, such as:

Feat of Strength Achievement

Fireworks

Visual-Only Tabard

7% Experience/Reputation Boost

Unfortunately, there’s no exclusive pet. I still have my Onyxian whelpling from the fifth anniversary, and although it didn’t seem like it at the time, the item has turned out to be somewhat rare. Is anyone out there still playing WoW? I just picked it up again to play with my sister, and it’s very much the game I remember – just easier.

Anyone want to share their favorite WoW memories?

New treats coming up for Demon's Souls

Posted Oct 10, 2011 at 12:31AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: Atlus

Demon's Souls may be on its final stretch before it breathes its last sight, but that doesn't mean that it will do so without a fight.

With its second year anniversary coming up, Atlus is giving you one last hurrah in the form of new bonuses, which, for all intents and purposes, make you insert that disc on your PS3 one more time.

First is the Wolrd Tendency feature, which basically sets the difficult level of the game and in some of the special events in-game. For this celebration, all throughout the month of October, Atlus will be introduing the 'Pure White' feature in lieu of the World Tendency, which essentially limits the player's ability to access some areas, given that the world is mostly in a Neutral state.

Of course, those familiar with Demon's Souls will be quick to understand these jargons. Do take note that the Pure White feature will be available until October 17th. For the rest of the month, then, Atlus will introduce Pure Black, further upping the difficulty level of the game and making more hidden secrets.

Just last month, Atlus also further extended the online servers for the game. It's been a fun two-year ride, so join Atlus in this last spur of celebration for their game.
