While most would think it would be impossible to put the word "vagina" into a video game trailer, apparently it's not. Actually, the word is "vaginas." Plural. Seriously.

Tribes Ascend Dev Blames Multiplatform Development for Death of Dexterity

Posted Feb 21, 2012 at 11:57AM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Quake, tribes ascend, unreal tournament

Hardcore shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament don’t translate well when ported to consoles.

If you played first-person shooters on your PC in the 90s, you probably remember the hectic, chaotic gameplay they usually featured. In the old days, the only thing that dictated your ability to succeed in a PC shooter was the speed of your wrist. However, twitchy shooters seem to have faded out, replaced by the cover-laden frag fests to which we have all become accustomed.

Tribes Ascend executive producer Todd Harris says the problem isn’t with developers or the evolving tastes of gamers, but with creating multiplatform games. He claims that since shooters have to be simultaneously released on PC and console platforms, it’s much harder for developers to build a quick reflex, twitchy title.

He noted that console controllers dramatically limit the speed at which action can take place, since sensitivity can only go so high before the game becomes impossible to play. He also claimed that developers probably could make a twitchy game for consoles, but it’s easier to aim for the “lowest common denominator” and make tactical shooters instead of the twitchy kind.

Tribes Ascend is currently in closed beta, but will hit digital shelves sometime this spring. Expect the game to demand twitchy, reflexive gameplay—just like the shooters of old.

Unless, of course, it gets ported to PS3 or Xbox.

PC Alan Wake Makes Bank

Posted Feb 20, 2012 at 5:46PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: alan wake, Microsoft, Remedy Entertainment

Who says you need a couch to enjoy Alan Wake?

Naysayers be damned, Remedy Entertainment went ahead and released Alan Wake on PC. And it looks like their decision paid off—Alan Wake recouped its PC development and marketing costs in a mere 48 hours. Naturally, these sales figures fly in the face of Microsoft’s assertion that the game would be impossible to enjoy without a large television and comfy sofa. Surprise!

Remedy was pretty amped on the game’s success, with the executive vice president noting that the company is “very happy” with Alan Wake’s sales, and that hitting the top of the Steam charts was “nothing short of amazing.” He also noted that the company is “very excited” about PC development, which could mean more titles headed to PCs in the near or distant future.

So congratulations to everyone at Remedy for finally proving that some people like to play games on computers. Good thing we got that one sewn up.

Sony Promises that Devs Like the Vita

Posted Feb 16, 2012 at 2:12PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: nintendo 3ds, ps vita, psp, Sony, virtual boy

The company is on the defensive after one developer threw the handheld under the bus.

Sony is reeling after one game creator suggested that third party developers have canceled their Vita projects and moved to the 3DS due to the handheld’s poor performance in Japan. A report in a Japanese newspaper carried the anonymous quote, which stated, “Major Japanese companies are cancelling all projects intended for Vita and are changing development to 3DS.” Sony wants you to know that this simply isn’t the case.

Scott Rohde, the senior vice president of Worldwide Studios said that while he didn’t see the specific quote, it’s not unusual to find “exaggerated” claims like that regarding untested products. He also noted that he knew of many third party devs working “feverishly” on Vita titles, and that it would be impossible for any one person to definitively say what every Vita studio may or may not be doing.

Edge magazine points out that calling the claims an “exaggeration” indicates that a few studios have indeed jumped ship, just not to the numbers the anonymous source stated. Whatever’s going on over in Japan, you can bet it will echo through the western marketplace.

Vita is just a few short days away from release and if the western launch isn’t strong, the device could be relegated to Virtual Boy territory. Right now, the Vita is being outsold by the 3DS and even the original PSP in Japan – not a good indicator of success. Sony isn’t known for being upfront with its customers, so the truth of the matter is probably somewhere between the two quotes.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. What do you think the fate of the Vita will be?

More Next-Gen Xbox Rumors Surface

Posted Jan 25, 2012 at 2:15PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Blu-ray, Microsoft, used games, xbox, xbox 720

Blu-Ray, used games and Kinect, oh my!

We talked earlier about the rumors regarding the next Xbox and its processing power, but interesting tidbits continue to slip out over the course of the news day. Thanks to a few anonymous sources, we now have some more information regarding the Xbox 720, or whatever they’re choosing to call it. One note, before we begin: This information has been in no way substantiated by Microsoft, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

With the disclaimer out of the way, here’s the scoop on the next Xbox console. According to information retrieved by Kotaku, the next Microsoft console will boast full Blu-Ray support – a major selling point for the PlayStation 3 over the last few years. Additionally, the new Xbox may be shipped with the second iteration of the Kinect hardware, currently referred to as Kinect 2. The hardware is already being manufactured, and will see release in 2013.

The most interesting bit of news, however, has to do with used games. One industry source has noted that Microsoft is considering building an anti-used system into the new Xbox, one that would make playing used games effectively impossible. There are no details on how exactly this would be implemented, but it’s sure to be a hydrogen bomb of controversy if the rumor is true.

Regardless of speculation, it looks like we’ll be seeing the new Xbox and its Sony competitor sooner rather than later. Microsoft has, of course, refused to comment on any of the stories breaking this week and certainly hasn’t confirmed any leaked details.

That being said, what do you think of a possible anti-used game system in next-gen consoles?

Modern Warfare 3 Has Spawn Problems

Posted Jan 2, 2012 at 5:13PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Infinity Ward, modern warfare 3, mw3

Gamer scores 144 kills and 4 deaths in one MW3 match, and in the process demonstrates one of the game’s biggest problems.

Look, it’s 2012. Spawn trapping – the act of locking an opposing team into one spawn area and mercilessly camping them – simply shouldn’t be possible in games anymore. Developers, by now, should know how to circumvent this problem. However, the issue seems to have slipped the mind of devs over at Infinity Ward, as evidenced by this video:

In the clip, one MW3 player, with the help of his team, manages to summon a M.O.A.B. in just 48 seconds by peeking over a wall into the enemy spawn and absolutely wrecking the other team as they respawn helplessly. It’s a cheap tactic from any point of view, but the real amazing thing is that it’s even possible in a game that supposed to be one of the best shooters ever made.

This problem is rampant in certain MW3 game modes, and the developers are going to need to find some way to repair it if they want to keep the community happy and engaged. The players in the video aren’t necessarily cheating, so the only recourse is to prevent the problem from happening in the first place.

What do you think should be done to stop matches like this from taking place?

Nintendo to Patch Skyward Sword Bug

Posted Dec 15, 2011 at 1:42PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: Legend of Zelda, nintendo patch, skyward sword

The games company scrambles to repair the latest Zelda title’s game-breaking glitch.

We talked last week about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s game-breaking bug. If you missed the article and can’t be bothered to click the link in the previous sentence, here’s the basic gist: If you complete certain actions in a certain order, your game will essentially become stuck between events and impossible to complete. This bug crops up about 30 hours into the game, and if you hit it, you have to start over from your last save.

Unfortunately for Nintendo Wii owners, there’s really no such thing as a “last save.” Unless you painstakingly double your saves between the Wii and an SD card, there’s no way to recover old saves, which means you’re going to end up starting Skyward Sword from the beginning. Nintendo, being without a method to patch games, advised players on how to avoid this bug on their official site.

Now, the company is offering to patch the save files and repair the problem, with one catch: In order to take advantage of this offer, you’ll have to send your SD card or your Wii in to Nintendo for servicing. The process takes at least a week, though the company is expecting longer waits thanks to the holiday rush.

If mailing Nintendo your Wii doesn’t sound like something you want to do, the company is hard at work on a downloadable patch. There’s no infrastructure for Nintendo to deliver patches of this nature, so it could be a while before the whole thing gets sorted out. But, at least they’re working on it. It’s worth noting that these solutions are only available for Japanese players; we’re still awaiting word on what will happen for us in the west.

Have you had any issues with Skyward Sword? Would you send your Wii in for a broken game save, or just start over?

No Mario Galaxy for 3DS

Posted Dec 3, 2011 at 8:30AM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: super mario 3d land, super mario galaxy, super mario sunshine

One common fan wish is put to bed, as Nintendo confirms it won’t be releasing either of the Galaxy games for its handheld console.

Super Mario Galaxy 2, if you haven’t played it, is joy on a disc. It captured all of the simple, bright fun of the Mario games before it while still managing to add new features and challenges. This is likely the reason for it being one of the best-reviewed games of all time, falling behind only the original Super Mario Galaxy and Ocarina of Time.

There were whispers, and indeed hopes, that Super Mario Galaxy 2 may eventually find its way to the 3DS handheld in some form or another. Unfortunately for Mario fans and 3DS owners, it looks like Nintendo has officially put the kibosh on those rumors.

Super Mario 3D Land’s director, Koichi Hayashida, confirmed that the company did test Galaxy on a small screen, but due to the way the game is designed, Mario appeared more like a small speck on the screen. This made many of the game’s levels nearly impossible to play, and created a frustrating experience all around. But, on the plus side, the company used what they learned from those play tests and designed Super Mario 3D Land to work around such problems – it seems to have worked, considering the game’s epic success.

Still, the news comes as a bit of a downer for anyone looking forward to enjoying Super Mario Galaxy while on the train or waiting for the bus. There’s always the Wii, right?

Would you have wanted to see Galaxy on the 3DS, or is it too port-heavy already? I wouldn’t mind getting a port of Super Mario Sunshine, but Galaxy does seem a little too expansive for such a tiny screen.

Country Music Packs Coming to Rock Band Store

Posted Nov 4, 2011 at 2:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Harmonix, rock band 3, rock band store

Like country music? You’re in luck next week, because Harmonix is dropping a ton of country hits for Rock Band 3.

Like it or not, country music is massively popular – at least here in the States. People may not think of country as a real genre of music, and it’s certainly the easiest one to make fun of, but that doesn’t change the fact that country artists sell millions of records each year. Harmonix seems to have picked up on the popularity of the genre and is adding a few country songs to the Rock Band Store on November 8th.

Personally, I love country music. Some of it. It would take too long to get into the specific differences between mainstream country and red dirt, Texas country, but it’s a very similar argument to that regarding mainstream rock bands and indie bands. Suffice to say that like all types of music, there’s good stuff and bad stuff.

Anyway, here’s the full lineup, courtesy of Destructoid:

“Going Country Pack 05”

o Chely Wright – “Single White Female” (RB3 Version)

o Laura Bell Bundy – “Giddy On Up” (RB3 Version)

o Reba McEntire – “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” (RB3 Version)

o Shania Twain – “Party for Two (with Billy Currington)” (RB3 Version)

o Sugarland – “Settlin’” (RB3 Version)

“Going Country Pack 06”

o Billy Currington – “That’s How Country Boys Roll” (RB3 Version)

o Darryl Worley – “Awful, Beautiful Life” (RB3 Version)

o Gary Allan – “Man of Me” (RB3 Version)

o George Strait – “TWANG” (RB3 Version)

o Johnny Cash – “Ring of Fire” (RB3 Version)

o Justin Moore – “Backwoods” (RB3 Version)

“Going Country Pack 07”

o Darius Rucker – “Alright” (RB3 Version)

o Dierks Bentley – “Sideways” (RB3 Version) O

o Keith Urban – “Kiss a Girl” (RB3 Version)

o Lady Antebellum – “Perfect Day” (RB3 Version)

o Luke Bryan – “Rain Is a Good Thing” (RB3 Version)

o Merle Haggard – “Mama Tried” (RB3 Version) O

o Trace Adkins – “Ride” (RB3 Version) X

“Going Country Pack 08”

o Dwight Yoakam – “Intentional Heartache” (RB3 Version)

o Jason Aldean – “Crazy Town” (RB3 Version)

o Rascal Flatts – “Summer Nights” (RB3 Version)

Speaking as a country fan, I can say that most of those songs are garbage. They’ve even managed to get one of George Strait’s bad songs, a nearly impossible feat. I guess it makes sense that they’d opt for the popular over the good, but man is that ever a lame list of songs.

All 20 songs are priced at $19.99 and the individual packs go from $5.49 to $10.49.

Are you going to pick up any of these Rock Band 3 country songs, or do cowboy hats make you want to throw a punch?

Battlefield 3 single-player DLC not ruled out

Posted Oct 7, 2011 at 4:29AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: battlefield 3, ea dice

The common practice with DLC is for developers to push additional content for the multiplayer mode. With Battlefiled 3, however, could it ever be possible for us to get DLC for the single-player?

According to the guys at EA DICE, it's not all too impossible. At the recently concluded Tokyo Game Show, AusGamers managed to corner some of the company execs to ask about this particular matter. Said Gustav Enekull, "We're not ruling out any possibilities, but at this point we've only announced the Back o Karkand expansion pack, coming out later this year."

"What I can say," he furthered, "is that we want our DLC -- no matter how it's set -- to be a new experience for the player. And that, in theory, could just be an extension of the co-op for example. But it's important to us that it's not just a new map pack; it's a new themed-setting; it brings you something that's more than maps.

Vehicles, weapons, new ways of playing; expanding the experience and giving players something fresh and new. That's how we're thinking and that's what we've done with the first planned expansion which is back to Karkand."

A single-player DLC for Battlefield 3 should definitely be a breath of fresh air. Multiplayer is always fun, but of course, there are some who would prefer to ride it out alone, lonely ranger style. Still, while EA DICE isn't totally scratching it out from their ideas list, they've yet to fully commit to it, so we'll just have to wait and see how this pans out.

Meanwhile, you've got the Achievements to keep you busy. Just make sure you're on the official servers, else you'll risk getting banned.

Console Versions of Crysis Support 1080p, 720p

Posted Oct 3, 2011 at 4:00PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Crysis, Crytek, PlayStation 3, psn, xbox live

Crytek’s hours-long hardware demo finally makes its debut on consoles, and much to the surprise of PC purists everywhere, manages to run at full-HD resolution.

There was a time when “Crysis” represented everything that was possible in the realm of PC gaming. While the game wasn’t really that great (be honest with yourselves), on a killer system the graphics were simply unmatched. Of course, the original “Crysis” is now three years old, and “Crysis 2” has taken the new role of “mediocre game with incredible graphics.”

Until recently, it was thought that “Crysis” would never be seen on console systems. The game’s tough hardware demands made it seem all but impossible to bring the game to the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 without a massive loss in visual quality. Most of us were surprised to learn, earlier this month, that the game would be headed to both systems via direct digital download.

Now, it seems, we have even more reason to be excited. In an interview with Now Gamer, Crytek employee Franziska Lehnert had this simple but exciting statement to offer on “Crysis’s” console performance:

“The original Crysis will support both 720p and 1080p on both consoles.”

Pow! Do you hear that PC gamers?! We console folks get everything you get, only maybe dumbed down a bit and definitely much, much later. “Crysis” is going to output at full 1080p, meaning you’ll finally get to make some use out of your massive, expensive LED television. Even though the 360 and PS3 support 1080p output, a large number of games stick to 720p due to the way the higher resolution roughs up the hardware. 1080p support for “Crysis” is a pleasant surprise, ensuring console gamers get the best experience possible on one of the most attractive-looking games around.

Just look at these screenshots :

So, gamers - are you planning on picking up a digital copy of “Crysis” this week? It still looks as pretty as ever.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney incoming at TGS

Posted Sep 12, 2011 at 3:59AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags:

This tandem is one that's sure to go down into the "Awesome" section of gaming history books. And to think it almost didn't happen!

Capcom confirmed that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be making an appearance at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show event later this week.

According to their schedule, Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright wil be taking the stage as part of the Capcom show on September 16th, from 1:40PM to 2:10PM, Tokyo time.

Since we all can't fly to Tokyo for the TGS and catch this appearance in person, here are the different times you can catch it if you're going to be tuning in via streaming or whatnot: 2:40PM, Sydney; 5:40Am BST; 12:40AM EDT, 9:40PM PDT, September 15th.

Ushering them onto the TGS stage are Capcom's Shu Takumi and Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino. It's expected that the duo will be divulging some more pertinent information about the outing of the professor and the Attorney on the 3DS.

We're keeping our fingers crossed that they will finally say something about a Western release for this game. All we have to hold on to is this old trailer from last year's Tokyo event.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney was first confirmed last year. Keiji Inafune of Capcom revealed that time that he thought it would be "impossible" to get these two heavy-hitting franchises together, but we're glad they did make it happen.

The fate of Faith in a Mirror's Edge sequel is still unknown, but if there's one thing that developers DICE are willing to divulge about it, it's that they haven't totally killed it off yet.

Patrick Bach did the taling in a recent interview with OXM, saying, "The only thing we can talk about and be open about is that we have not killed the franchise, and you can see that within these walls." He was referring to their office, which had Mirror's Edge artwork plastered all over it.

"We're still talking about it, and there's no closure to it," he furthered. "The only ting that we have decided isthat whatever we're doing in this office right now, when it comes to that we're not talking about it. The only thing I can say officially is that we definitely haven't killed the franchise. As you noticed, we still love it - we just need to find out how."

Egged further if there could be anything more insightful on the fate of Mirror's Edge 2, Bach gave in just a little bit. "As you've seen, the movement system in [Battlefield 3] is clearly inspired a lot by Mirror's Edge, and some of the team who worked on that are now working on Battlefield 3. People here are still in love with Faith - I wouldn't dare to say anything, about the future, but it's not impossible. Far from it."

Rumors have been rampant that a sequel to the parkour title is coming up, despite the lackluster response of gamers to it when it released a couple of year's back, particularly when Frank Gibeau let slip some information pertaining to the engine that will be used for it.

Tales of Graces f Wii not coming to West, but...

Posted Jul 4, 2011 at 5:56AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii Tags: Namco Bandai, tales of graces f

We know, we know. You'd all love to see the Wii Tales of Graces grace the Western shores with its presence. Sadly, that won't be happening, though, as confirmed yet again by publisher Namco Bandai. But if it's any consolation, they are considering coming out with HD ports of the older Tales titles.

Said Makoto Yoshizumi, "We wish to deliver the best and most complete experience for US and European fans, therefore we're localizing Tales of Graces f. The game on the PS3 version is on a blu-ray disc. It would be next to impossible to condense all the game's data on a Wii disc, so unfortunately, there will be no Wii release."

As for that alternative option, the HD release of older titles, "This is something we would like to do and we are currently working to see if it would be possible to port older Tales games: Phantasia, Destiny, or Eternia, not only in Japan, but throughout the world. However, I still can't give much information about this. We are still discussing about whether this project can be done and on which game console those ports would be made."

Tales of Graces is then coming out exclusively for the PS3.
