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?

Skyrim Patch 1.4 Details

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.

Avoid These Packed SWTOR Servers

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 3:46PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: old republic queues, Star Wars, swtor, swtor servers

Want to dodge super-long queue times for Bioware’s massively popular MMO? Watch out for these crowded servers.

It’s not uncommon for a new MMO to suffer from long queue times and crushing server loads, and a game with the sheer hype force of Star Wars: The Old Republic is likely going to be subject to more than average stress. Thanks to the incredible influx of new players since the game’s launch on December 20, Bioware has had to open up new servers and is slowly increasing population caps on some of the ones they already had in place.

They’ve also released a list of servers that are currently packed to capacity. They’re not blocking character creation because they want people to have the opportunity to play with friends, but they’re strongly advising against joining the following servers:

• The Harbinger -- US West Coast - PvE

• The Swiftsure -- US West Coast - PvP

• The Fatman -- US East Coast - PvP

• Bloodworthy -- EU English - PvP

• Frostclaw -- EU English - PvE

• Legions of Lettow -- EU English - PvP

• The Red Eclipse -- EU English - PvE

• Tomb of Freedom Nadd -- EU English - PvP

• Darth Revan's Mask -- EU German - PvP

• Darth Traya -- EU German - PvP

• Jar'Kai Sword -- EU German - PvP

• Hrakert Rift -- EU French - PvP

You’re still free to join one, of course – you’d just better be prepared for a ridiculous queue time. Things will naturally slow down once the holiday break ends and everyone’s hit a more regular play schedule, but for now, it may be best to stick with a less-crowded server unless you have a specific reason to join a crowded one.

What is your opinion of the way Bioware has been handling the SWTOR launch?

Zelda Timeline Revealed?

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 2:41PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: Legend of Zelda, majoras mask, ocarina of time, phantom hourglass, skyward sword, spirit tracks, zelda timeline

Nintendo may finally be stepping in on one of the most hotly contested issues in the history of gaming.

The Legend of Zelda series began 25 years ago. Since then, we’ve seen a dozen innovative and engaging titles on systems from the Game Boy to the Wii. However, one thing that’s always remained elusive is the way in which these games fit together. Fan-made timelines exist all over the web, but Nintendo’s only response so far has been to refute those theories and argue that there wasn’t an “official” timeline at all.

Of course, things can always change. Hot on the heels of Shigeru Miyamoto mentioning some sort of “master document” at Nintendo HQ, the official Zelda timeline may in fact be a reality. Hyrule Historia, a celebratory book created in honor of the series’ 25th anniversary and officially designed/written by Nintendo, apparently contains the closest thing to an official timeline any of us has ever seen.

Naturally, there are no actual scans of the pages revealing the timeline, only reports from fans that have already obtained the book. According to them, Zelda splits into three timelines instead of the traditionally accepted two. Here’s a breakdown:

First Branch

Skyward Sword

The Minish Cap

Four Swords

Ocarina of Time

Second Branch (When Link becomes a child again)

Majora’s Mask

Twilight Princess

Four Swords Adventure

Wind Waker (new Link)

Phantom Hourglass

Spirit Tracks

Third Branch (assumes Link was defeated in Ocarina of Time?!)

A Link to the Past

Oracle of Ages/Seasons

Link’s Awakening

The Legend of Zelda

The Adventure of Link

Personally, I’ve always subscribed to the “Legends” theory – each Zelda game is a legend and is meant to be taken completely on its own. But, that’s just me. We’ll keep you posted as details emerge - it’s entirely possible this is the long-awaited Zelda timeline.

What do you think about the three-timeline theory? Too weird? Too complex?

PoV: PayDay The Heist

Posted Nov 17, 2011 at 10:30AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PoV Tags: payday the heist, payday the heist ps3, payday the heist psn, payday the heist review, payday the heist steam

PayDay The Heist

I've talked before about bias and I feel like I have to clarify that despite my interview last week, I feel like a good game developer should listen to fans who speak clearly and with clarity. I hope they read the review in hope that their next game, hopefully another PayDay, will be better and that Overkill will be pleased with this honest review.

The game of PayDay The Heist, is not a simple game, 'tis a complex head blend of working together and patience. Seeing a fallen team mate will make your heart pound more, especially when playing with friends, but the second you see that cash, it may be too late for your friend and even later for those around you. Okay, PayDay is a simple game of four guys who steal money and that is all I can say about the plot. To be honest, there is no plot, but who cares, let's steal some money.

The game's mix of Left 4 Dead's comradery and Kane and Lynch's love of heists, brings Overkill Software's PayDay The Heist to a place I'd hoped a co-op game would come to eventually - a game of fun and eventually, betrayal. The game is set between a series of distinct, but fairly similar, scenarios in which you have to run and gun as you make your way to a fairly large sum of money.

This sum is arbirtrary int the world of the game, but does provide a good upgrade system as you earn "reputation", to go along with it, you better enjoy the game or at least the premise. Whilst there was some speculation from the game's "every game is different" I'm somewhat happy to report that this is more or less true. It's true in that no game I've played, even on the same level, has had the same scenario, except for a few instances of SWAT teams invading at particular times and the amount of time it may take you to drill through a gate or burn through to a vault.

The less, is the amount of fun you will get from the game, you will have levels you won't like, players you won't like and scenarios which will be frustrating. The game does not have a sophisticated AI Director, a lá L4D, but it does have a good sense of direction when it comes to helping you play through a scenario. There is often an even amount of ammo on the ground or good place to take cover, but more or less if your buddies aren't around the director will screw you over and you may have to let go a hostage just so you can play, some time later.

There are a few arbitrary or minor issues, mainly graphical and audio ones, first and foremost the fact that when I look outside on some of the maps, the SWAT and police members will become glitchy ghosts that are just waiting to enter the nether worlds of the heist, a bit ironic considering what me and my heist-mates are about to do. There are a lot of glitches that could be easily fixed, such as Team AI, such as in Heat Street or Panic Room.

They will sometimes go through the props in the level and it really throws you out of the experience, as does the fact that the buzz saws on the Panic Room level doesn't really cut and the drill in the other levels don't drill. It'd be a simple animation, unlike the running. I wasn't sure if it was my internet cocking up or the game just had a weird animation. Turned out to be the later. It's a bit weird, especially when characters are crouching.

I do have to say the game is quite gory, especially when you shoot up close or get a good headshot (which is rewarded, in-game) Other than that, the game looks pretty good, Overkill, not stunning, but enough to make you enjoy it more than Kane and Lynch 2 but less than Portal 2. The game looks good on the modded Diesel engine, let's just leave it at that.

How it sounds is amazing. I do have one gripe that the fact the Heisters don't have more than a few catchphrases, even when you're telling the hostages to "get down" "get down" "get down", you think they were about to start a DJ set, not a heist. It's a small problem but it's always something that's really gotten me down, especially after other games such as Uncharted, The Simpsons Game and SWAT 4, have all had good simple voice acting gigs and rarely have a repeated line, hell, hire me for $10 an hour and I'll record whatever the heck you want. That being said, some of their dialogue is amusing, not on the level of the castmates of L4D or their sequel, but still a wry smile forms between getting shot at and restarting saws/drills.

Sound effects, which is quite different from the voices, are absolutely fantastic. In my interview last week with Simon Viklund he stated his favourite sound effect was the shotgun and I could not agree more. Having it unlocked as you go into the game is a sight for sore eyes as the world seems to go a lot better (depending on your level and experience, of course) but having that fire into a bulldozer is more than satisfying as you continue through your heist. The music is always rarring for me to get into the game. The perfect music starts off the game, it reminds me of the opening of The Dark Knight and as it flashes up the face masks of our heistmates, you are ready, you just are.

Wolf's frightening bloodied mask, Dallas' patriotic smile, Hoxton's red eyebrows and Chains cross eyes are fairly distinct as well and all provide a great opening to the game, but the menus and a few visual cues leave a lot to be desired. A lot could have made the game look really flashy and interesting but a simple pallette of black, yellow and grey makes it look as if the game is ready to be taped up behind Police Lines

Finally, the gameplay. The game is broken up into six different levels. First World Bank, a traditional bank heist, Heat Street, a plan gone wrong, chase'em down, Panic Room, a break in, break it out mission, Green Bridge, shooting in the rain...I'm just shooting in the rain, Diamond Heist, a sneak in smash and grab and finaally, Slaughterhouse...is exactly what it sounds like.

To focus on the more difficult and interesting levels, Green Bridge is the most exciting, being in the rain, breaking over prison convoys, donned in yellow raincoats and escorting a chinese prisoner. Things just escalate, even when you start on a half-exploded bridge. The level is fun and exciting and atmospheric at it's core. The most fun is probably Panic Room, simply due to how cool you can act before the heist starts and

Diamond Heist is quite difficult and starts off sneaking, but if someone's being an asshat, this plan can and will go awry in a matter of minutes. This one is best to be kept in the shadows. Sure, cops will be alerted eventually, but planning and timing your moves to silently take out the security guards is a wonderful sense of fun and comradery I wouldn't change for the world.

Slaughterhouse is just chaos. Starts off with a "The Usual Suspects" scenario as a bunch of trucks pull up outside a warehouse and you have to take them out and kill a lot of people while you take some money out of Secure Van. Gold everywhere and bulldozers stormed during the last few minutes after the Gold came out and it was insane.

The Single Player mode is fairly useless as are the AI from time to time and when you can turn the AI on for not having enough players in the online mode, what difference would it make? Why wouldn't you play online? This game could've done better with co-op and a better matchmaking system as well. The difficult system alone is quite confusing, not that they're confusing in general, but it's enough to question a thing or two.

For example, the last two modes (Slaughter and Diamond) are available on the hardest setting, and I do have to question why. The levels themselves are as complex as Panic Room and require less in-game set pieces. It boggles the mind on why they're specifically hard, possibly a question I should put to Simon, next time I talk to him.

PayDay The Heist is a great game, it has great play but could have been better. There is so much here that could have been even a great storyline, but Overkill has made a decision to make it for hard and fast gamers. Varying difficulty levels, great upgrade system and some fairly intriguing level design, makes this a must-have PSN title.

Harrison HAS E. is in jail from pulling an EB Games heist. He's serving hard time for Grand Theft GTA.

PayDay The Heist has made it's way to Europe on Steam and PSN and Harrison E. has decided to steal some words and give the heist-sim a whirl.

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?

Professor Layton and the Last Specter’s Hidden RPG

Posted Oct 17, 2011 at 5:23PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: last specter, Level-5, london life, professor layton

A new Professor Layton game hits shelves today, but did you know that The Last Specter contains a completely separate RPG?

The Professor Layton series stands out as one of the best sets of puzzle games in recent memory. While it can occasionally frustrating or confusing, for the most part the Layton franchise delivers on its promise to give gamers a bunch of interesting puzzles to solve while loosely tying those puzzles into some sort of narrative. It isn’t perfect, but it works on a fundamental level.

Professor Layton and the Last Specter, the latest in the Layton franchise, hits shelves today. Nintendo DS owners can pick the game up for the regular DS game price of $29.99, but may not know that they’re actually getting two games for the price. The first game is a traditional Layton adventure, solving puzzles and figuring out a mystery. The second though, is much more interesting.

The second game, titled “Professor Layton’s London Life,” allows you to customize your character, explore the city of London, take on assignments and look for clues as you work to determine the origins of a mysterious fairy. This mini-RPG isn’t related to the main story of Last Specter, but apparently offers over 100 hours of gameplay – that’s like Skyrim territory right there. The game is accessible at any time and boasts a top-down view of London that you can explore to your heart’s content. Unless, of course, you actually live in the U.K. – London Life is not included in the U.K. version of the game.

Of course, the question remains whether it will be 100 interesting hours of RPG, or 100 hours of scratching your head as you try to solve a few hundred unrelated puzzles. Either way, this extra feature certainly expands on the Layton legacy and gives fans a little more content to enjoy while they wait for the next title in the series, The Mask of Miracle, to hit the 3DS sometime in the next few months.

How do you feel about having more freedom to explore the world of Professor Layton?

World of Darkness details unmasked

Posted Sep 19, 2011 at 4:03AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: MMORPG Tags: CCP Games, world of darkness

In case you haven't heard, a new vampire game is about to come out, and from what those who've seen it so far are saying, it's looking to be the best vampire MMO yet.

A tall order and a bold statement, indeed, considering that the game is still in its early stages of production. Fortunately for those who were at the Grand Masquerade in New Orleans this weekend past, however, they were able to see for themselves exactly just what kind of progress is already made.

Massively was one such lucky party, and from them, we find out that, "The entire game will take place at night and on one server." As with any vampire stories, you bet you this isn't fit for the faint-hearted (come on, you had to have a strong stomach too to make it through Twilight). They further revealed, "Nudity, gore, and insanity effects are all par for the course."

In the story, you'll be starting out as a human, but will eventually be confronted with the decision of whether to turn into a kindred (vampire) or not. It looks like the game is still a world away from the finishing line as the most they can give us is that it's coming out "2012 at the earliest," this according to publisher CCP.

No rush, though. We're sniffing this one out, and so far, it does smell good, all in all. Too early to tell, yes we know, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Lulzsec bids farewell, gives parting gift

Posted Jun 25, 2011 at 10:02PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: lulzsec

LulzSec has had their fun in the sun. The hacktivist group will disband come midnight, June 26th. Explaining the reason why, they sent out this official statement:

"Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The support we've gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, and not to mention humbling. Please don't stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.

So with those last thoughts, it's time to say bon voyage. Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind - we hope - inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.

Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.

Let it flow...

Lulz Security - our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe."

Apart from that touching farewell, though, LulzSec set out for one last hurrah, releasing a torrent containing some 50,000 passwords from gaming forums. Beta passwords for 550,000 Battlefield Heroes as well as internal data for AT&T and much more can also be found there. Now there's no way they're just going to sail away silently into the sunset.

LulzSec has had their fun in the sun, but they're not about to go down without a last hurrah.
