A trim chap who is alarmingly adept with a pack of cards. Oh and he greatly enjoys writing about lots of different things...including monkeys...and various varieties of cheeses.
Earlier rumours of Ubisoft planning to introduce an online -code system with the release of Driver: San Francisco have been officially confirmed by the publisher. The has been named the Uplay port, and works in pretty much the same way the EA and recently announced Sony do.
PS3 owners got the short straw recently when PSN was compromised for nearly a month, and all the content that should have been available on the store was put in lock down. The third batch of DLC creatively named ‘Annihilation’ has been open to the Xbox 360 Black Ops install base for over a month now, and ‘Escalation’ hasn’t even been out that long for PS3 players. Treyarch have today confirmed that the PS3 edition of the expansion content will launch on July 28th.
With Activision’s mega franchise gearing up for yet another spectacular release into the gaming calendar later this year, fans across the globe will be asking whether Modern Warfare 3 can bring the good stuff. The pressure is absolutely enormous on the studios involved (Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer, Beachhead) simply because of just how successful previous titles have been and the time frame in which they have to best their own company’s performance.
The huge new subscription layer set to be launched with this year’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is bursting into life tomorrow for its first public testing. The Call Of Duty Elite beta sign up service has reportedly begun sending out the invites that will enable ‘lucky’ players to try out the pay monthly service, on last year’s blockbuster game Black Ops.
The stats are in for the total number of sales Sony’s platform was graced with up to the week ending on July 2nd. Nothing particularly surprising in the money making leader boards at the moment and the usual array of new, semi-new and just plain stubborn titles are holding the top ten fort in the UK games industry.
Criterion’s slightly unexpected mini Burnout spin-off title ‘Burnout Crash’ has finally got some raw gameplay for us to check out. It’s a totally different arena from what we’re all used to and will potentially get ridiculed and dismissed by many. The new top down GTA 1 approach has a very distinct art style and immediately stands out from the other Burnout instalments; I’m not sure if for the better or worse.
News that a game is coming out earlier than previously announced is pretty strange and almost unheard of in our industry and the fact it’s Sony and Naughty Dog talking about Uncharted 3; it literally makes my inner child squeal with delight - and poke fun at other studios which constantly delay their titles.
It’s hard to believe that Sony’s ‘Wii beating’ motion controlling gameplay revolution glow stick of shiny-ness launched late last year. The controller saw the majority of its selling action within the first few months of launch, and even then the numbers weren’t that staggering, or at least as impressive as rival peripheral Kinect.
The understated talents behind both LittleBigPlanet games and all its related colourful wackiness might be drafting together ideas for an entirely new game IP. Speaking to Edge, executive producer Siobhan Reddy hinted that “We’re stepping away from LittleBigPlanet to focus on some new ideas”.
According to a recent slip from Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward, Call Of Duty fans worldwide can expect a new angle on the popular/unpopular killstreak system currently in place- and being mimicked by countless other titles. Via the noisy place that is Twitter, Mr Bowling said: “We changed the entire way the killstreak system works. I can’t go into detail yet, but I will share when I can”.
