Posted by Maniac in Game News.1 comment so far
Crytek has just announced that their upcoming game, Crysis 2 will support Stereoscopic 3D on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Crytek has always prided itself with being at the forefront of gaming technology, and every release they’ve done has pushed the boundaries on what modern hardware could handle, 3D seems like a logical extension of that.
Crysis 2 will release Holiday 2010 on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
Metal Gear Solid Rising E3 Demonstration June 14, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
The next major release of the fantastic Metal Gear Solid Series will be Metal Gear Solid Rising, and here is the first actual demonstration of that game along with the gameplay.
From the looks of it, the game series is evolving from a stealth focused game, and with the new protagonist of Raiden, becoming a platforming hack and slash with fantastic graphics and in game physics. I was kind of hoping for some story along with the gameplay, but it just was not to be.
Historically, Metal Gear Solid has always owned the E3s they premered at. That usually comes from the fact that the story has always been the sticking point. I’m sure that the story is going to be announced soon, but the gameplay and graphics alone looks fantastic.
Metal Gear Solid Rising will star Raiden and will be coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

I’m not much of a fan of MMA or MMA games at all, however, EA has now announced a new feature that they’re bringing into their new MMA game, and their later games, and that is Live Broadcast, where you the player get to have a more personal experience with your games.
You will be able to upload videos of yourself into the Live Broadcast system, selling your skills and psyching out your opponent before the game starts. This will be accessible through your game or the game’s website. There will also be live commnentary on games by announcers, and a rewards system. Looks pretty interesting, I hope they use it in other games.

Dead Space 2 E3 Gameplay Trailer and Release Date June 14, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
The first Dead Space was to me the sleeper horror hit of 2008. I was a big fan of this game when I got to play it around Christmas of that year, and I loved the Dead Space: Downfall Blu-Ray movie, and the rail shooter wii game.
This is some of the first gameplay footage for Dead Space 2 shown, and it looks amazing and scary. The squeemish need not apply for this one.
UPDATE: Unfortunatly, EA has pulled all Dead Space 2 releated videos from E3 from YouTube. I can’t possibly understand why, out of all their other released videos, EA did not bother to upload any Dead Space 2 E3 videos to their E3 channel. Until they bother to release it, here’s the announcement trailer, the only Dead Space 2 video EA is hosting.
Dead Space 2 is coming multiplatform January 25th, 2011!
The Force Unleashed II E3 Trailer June 14, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
I considered Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to be a major release of the Star Wars canon, but there were definatly problems with it gameplay wise.
You also have to take into account just how final the ending of that game was, since in the good ending of the game, the protagonist dies, and in the bad ending of the game, he does things that invalidate the Star Wars canon, like kill Darth Vader.
Well this CGI rendered preview trailer should answer a few questions to what the story is going to be, and how the main character could return.
The Force Unleashed II is expected to release multiplatform October 26th, 2010.

The greatest gaming event of the world, I know because I attended two of them, is starting today for the next few days! The games! The spectacle! The Electronic Entertainment Expo!
Feel free to expect tons of gaming information over the next few days. Major announcements are BOUND to be coming out. I’m already looking forward to seeing previews for Dead Space 2, Mortal Kombat 8, F.E.A.R. 3, and that’s just what has been officially announced. Also expect Sony and Microsoft to display their motion control systems.
Unfortunatly the Dear Playstation video I submitted to Sony didn’t get this site into E3. However, I fully plan to submit a formal application for entrance next year, using this site as my credentials. Next year, guys, next year.
Duke Nukem Lawsuit Settled June 12, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Editorials, Game News.add a comment
The lawsuit between Take 2 Interactive and 3D Realms has been settled and dismissed. No company can now sue the other under the same grounds in a court of law.
What does this mean? Well it could mean something and it could mean nothing. 3D Realms right now is pretty much two guys re-releasing ten year old games on new platforms and making no new product. Now that the lawsuit is resolved, someone should be able to continue work on Duke Nukem Forever, although I would hardly call what 3D Realms has done on it over the past 11 years work.
The details of the settlement are unknown, and likely won’t be known unless something is announced in public, there are usually Non-Disclosure Agreements about this sort of thing. In theory, development of Duke Nukem Forever should be able to continue now, but without money 3D Realms has no way to pay developers, which is why this whole problem started in the first place.
The only way this will work out for gamers (and this is just pure conjecture) would be if Take 2 offered the money needed to fund the rest of the game but put a time limit on the money, probably giving 3D Realms a year to polish up the game and release it.
If the terms are anything otherwise (give or take whenever the time limit finishes, could be a year, could be two) the game will likely never see the light of day.
