Is This A Photo Of Valve's Rumoured Console, Or At Least A Prototype? Trion Worlds takes its massively-multiplayer online role-playing game expansions seriously. Tripling the size of the game’s landmass, adding 10 new levels and four new classes, guild and player-housing; if Storm Legion‘s massive influx of new content doesn’t satisfy you, you probably shouldn’t be playing Rift.
Bohemia Interactive’s ArmA 3 has been looking good for a long while. This video demonstrates the aspects of the game that BI will be showing at E3, from general navigation to vehicle combat to underwater sequences.
Earlier this year High Moon Studio’s game director Matt Tieger told me his team couldn’t handle making a PC version of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and PC gamers were a little upset. High Moon still can’t handle creating a PC version, but High Moon Studios and developer Mercenary Games working together are getting the job done.
As far as claims go, yes, I’m being bold and melodramatic. But then, so was Techland’s original Dead Island trailer, which I think set expectations for the co-op zombie shooter to unreachable levels and ultimately came back to haunt it. This time though, the situation is different. No zombies, dead kids or shattered families. Just ATVs. And funny. And trees.
Apparently this Metro: Last Light video appeared for a brief time on GameTrailers, but was quickly taken down. I’m not sure why it was removed, but whatever the reason it did little to stop one enterprising user from grabbing the clip and uploading it to YouTube. Inside we find almost four minutes for gameplay footage, along with a surprisingly solid interview with the developers.
If you’re not up to speed on what Bethesda’s Dishonored is all about, two things should fill you in nicely. One is Stephen Totilo’s “18 Things You Should Know About Dishonored”. And the other is that image at right, of a guy leaping off a rooftop and stabbing a dude in the neck.
Max Payne 3 does a lot of things right — from the relentless, blood-soaked gunplay to HEALTH’s astonishing soundtrack.
It’s easy to sit back and scoff at “review bombing”, as we saw last week when Blizzard released a broken Diablo III. Flooding Amazon to give zero stars to something others have called 10/10, sure, that’s not a legitimate review. And people staging a sit-in aren’t there to legitimately patronize a public accommodation, either. But a sit-in is a legitimate form of protest. And I think a review bomb is, too.
Scoopon currently has Logitech’s G27 running as one of its deals, offering the $499 RRP steering wheel and pedal combo for $214.95 delivered. It works out to be 57 per cent off, though in reality it’s more of a 15 per cent discount.
The original Planetside was perhaps a little ahead of its time. A massively multiplayer FPS in a time when broadband was still finding its feet. Even so, it was magnificent by way of its ambition alone and as lag-stricken as it was (at least, for Australian players), I still remember it fondly — nothing quite beats carrying a pair of rocklet rifles and blowing the crap out of heavily-armed MAX.
