Microsoft to Show Off New IP At E3?

, , , , , 0

The countdown to E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, has begun. Easily the biggest gaming convention of the year in regards to announcements, reveals, and excited gamers looking on to their favorite companies to see what they can expect for not only this year, but the years beyond. This year is a crucial E3 for all three big companies. Both Sony and Nintendo are looking to fill the holes left by the delaying of their big titles in Uncharted 4 and Legend of Zelda Wii U. While Microsoft is hoping to bolster its lineup and try to make up some ground on Sony’s PS4 for console sales. If reports are true, a key part of that will be unveiling a new IP at the show. Phil Spencer himself tweeted the following: “We should have new exclusive IP at E3. I’m trying to make this E3 more about 1st party than past E3s.” He went on, “This is going to be a fun year,” he added. “I think it might be our

Star Wars Battlefront Trailer and News!

, , , , , , , 0

True to their word, EA has given the world the first trailer for the return of Star Wars Battlefront. Behold its epicness! Have you recovered from your mind being blown? Good, then we can continue. There’s a lot to digest and a lot to process, as that trailer showed that this won’t simply be a “recount of battles” of sorts like the other Battlefront games. No, this will be a non-stop thrill ride from start to finish. Aside from the trailer, there was a lot of news dropped at Star Wars Celebration about Battlefront (via IGN). For example: When you can you get it? November 17, 2015 in North America and November 20, 2015 in the UK, on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. What will the game be like? Well, aside from the obvious, the game will actually not have a campaign mode. Instead, it’ll feature a series of missions for you to complete either on your own or in co-op. This is a big departure from previous Battlefront titles.

Mortal Kombat Character Confirmed As Gay?

, , , , , 0

Sometimes, it’s not what you say, but how you say it that gets peoples attention. In the case of Mortal Kombat X, many people noted that certain dialogues between new character Kung Jin and other characters seem to relate that he is gay. Primarily, It is this text between him and Raiden in a flashback scene. Raiden is trying to get Kung Jin to join the Shaolin Monks, to which Kung Jin replies: “I can’t… They won’t accept,” Kung Jin says, with Raiden responding. “They care only of what is in your heart, not whom your heart desires.” Hmm…now to be fair, it could be taken many ways, but it’s hard not to deny how it sounds, right? Well, now we have confirmation of this via Dominic Cianciolo of NetherRealm. Who happily tweeted: “I see people are picking up on the subtle exposition contained in Kung Jin’s flashback. Glad we have observant fans!” So yes, Kung Jin is gay. This in and of itself is a huge step for the

, , , , , 0

Sony Computer Entertainment of America and The Chinese Room have revealed the latest trailer for upcoming adventure game, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. The game comes from the makers of Dear Esther and showcases the inhabitants of a remote English valley who are caught in a world-shattering event that is beyond human control or understanding; otherwise known as the biblical event that is the Rapture. The latest trailer for the game is available in the player below. The new video is more teaser than it is trailer. The imagery and tone of the game definitely looks haunting and rather unnerving. The video showcases a pan backwards through an empty kids classroom. The room slowly changes from serene to bloody and disturbing and finally to strange and supernatural. There are appear to be ghostly figures or what could be angelic light in the room. The video is definitely intriguing and makes one want to learn more about the game. The trailer has an arrestingly haunting, yet strangely beautiful and ethereal quality

Sad news gaming fans, beloved game developing studio 2K Australia is closing its doors. The studio was once a part of Irrational Games, and helped make the Bioshock series what it was. Then, it became its own entity, and helped make the wildly popular Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, now though, a full closing of the studio is taking place. As 2K itself confirmed: “We can confirm we have taken steps to begin the studio closure process for 2K Australia in order to better manage ongoing development costs while improving the working proximity of our creative teams. We are very grateful for the team’s valuable contributions to numerous 2K projects, and are working with affected staff to explore reassignment opportunities where possible.” So why the closing after all the success? Well, we may truly never know the full reason, however, it’s been speculated that key departures on the team were the main factor. These departures were started when it was rumored that the studio would be moving to Melbourne sometime in the

After much anticipation, and a delay or two, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt has officially gone gold. This comes from CD Projekt Red themselves: “We worked so damn hard over the past three years to bring you this game,” said CD Projekt Red boss Adam Badowski. “From the corrupt nobles in Novigrad to ancient monsters lurking in deep forests, to the bustling cities, colorful ports and breathtaking vistas; all the people, all the places — we literally spent tens of thousands of hours to turn all that into an adventure that will kick your ass and make you want to come for more. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has gone gold and will soon be yours.” Based on everything we’ve seen from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this game will not only be an expansive experience, but one that is brimming with life, choices, action, and most importantly, replayability. It’s two previous entries were heralded as great titles in an RPG genre that seemed to be going stagnant in many ways,

Bloodborne Passes 1 Million Units Sold

Sometimes its hard to judge if a game does well or not in its lifetime. After all, what defines a success? Does everyone go for Call of Duty like numbers? Or Madden? Do developers just try and prove their game sold well enough to maybe go forward with a franchise? It’s these questions and more that can separate success from failure. For me, I’ve also thought it a matter of how long it takes for games to reach one million units sold. That’s a solid number and a solid goal given the number of gamers in our world today. According to an official announcement from Sony Computer Entertainment, Bloodborne, from From Software, had the honor of crossing that one million units sold benchmark. The figure comes after the game has had only a few weeks of being on sale. To be clear, this includes both physical copies sold and digital copies of the game sold from the PlayStation store. Sony is naturally very happy about this: “Bloodborne was a new challenge for

Both of the Metro titles have done well for the companies, and Metro Redux sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. Also, the compilation on PS4 and Xbox One has actually outsold the solitary version of Metro Last Light on PS3 and Xbox. That’s actually quite surprising. Add to that is the fact that sales wise, Metro Redux is the best selling remastering of this generation; even beating The Last of Us. It also holds the title of best reviewed game for Deep Silver, which the company is happy to praise. “”We are thrilled with the performance of Metro Redux,”” said Menno Van der Bil, international commercial director at Deep Silver.

Easily one of the biggest announcements recently was about the return of Deus Ex, via a new title titled Mankind Divided. Also, Adam Jensen, the protagonist from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, was confirmed to be back, and the fans rejoiced. But there were still questions in the minds of the fans, so the director for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Jean-Francois Dugas, took to Twitter to answer those questions. The results were new details about the game that will make fans even happier. First off, a fan asked if you’ll be able to “ghost” through the game; meaning would you be able to go stealthily through missions without being seen. Not unlike what you would do in Metal Gear Solid. Answer? “As always and even on boss side finally!” That’s right, not only will you be able to stealthily beat bosses, there will also be chats with them as you fight! Next: Difficulty.Though the game will have your standard difficulties, Dugas mentioned there will be a special mode for those who want

The crowds for GH Live are said to dynamically react in real-time to how well or how poorly players perform in the game. GH Live will feature a variety of virtual venues, including small clubs in front of a hundred people, to

Kingdom Hearts 3 News Coming?

, , , , , 0

Patience is not a virtue when it comes to gamers most of the time. Mainly because we want to play the next entry in our favorite series pretty much right after we beat the next game. But we can’t, so we impatiently bide our time until the next one arises. This takes on a whole new meaning for Kingdom Hearts fans. Despite having some titles on both the DS and 3DS, there hasn’t been a “main” title in over 10 years. Yet, we know not only that Kingdom Hearts 3 IS coming, but it’s being made to come out “as quickly as possible”. Now, Tetsuya Nomura, director for the game, has provided an update on things to Famitsu (via IGN), and has stated when we can expect more Kingdom Heart 3 news, as well as what else might be in store for the series. “We have some interesting things planned,” he said. “There will be Kingdom Hearts III news, and various things [at D23], I think. Kingdom Hearts III development is going
