Do you like Far Cry 2???? Then you should look at the new teaser trailer of Far Cry 3, a long version will be available in the Ubisoft conference at the E3 2012 that is just around the corner, but in the meanwhile let’s enjoy this and begin to speculate of how’s going to be the next Far Cry game.
TEASER TRAILER
Heres a new teaser trailer of the highly expected Tomb Raider reboot announced for 2013, Crystal Dynamics and Square-Enix release it as a part of the complete trailer that’s gonna be shown in the E3 2012.
It just look great and it will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC also there is a rumor that a Wii U version is in development.
TEASER TRAILER
Today I had the opportunity to give a serious look at Dragon’s Dogma, Capcom’s new game for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, which was released on May 22, 2012.
And so it all began
The story is about a young man named Arisen who was fighting a dragon, it rips his heart, literally, this kills the hero but inexplicably remains alive, now known as the “enlightened” you must go in search of the dragon to fulfill your mission and get your heart back, you will have to go through several obstacles and sometimes against the good or evil as your mission goes beyond the interests of others in order to achieve your final task, save yourself and save the world.
Who am I?
As usual in most games of the genre, your character has no defined face, giving us the freedom to create one at will in order to feel identified with it, we can change sex if we want to be a women, could be tall, short, strong, weak, effeminate male and other mixtures that can be done due to the variety that gives us the creation mode, not forgetting to decide the “job” or “class” that can vary between “fighter” “strider” or “mage”.
In addition to creating the main character we’ll have the opportunity to create our “pawns”, also selecting the class and genre, in Dragon’s Dogma you have the opportunity to be accompanied by several AI-controlled characters but with the ability to give simple commands like “help” that makes any of the NPC who have joined cast a healing spell or use a healing item on us, “here” to make your fellow get to your position and “attack” that send them against our nearest enemy.
Taking the best from various genres
You could say that is an Action / RPG open world, something like Skyrim but with a little of Monster Hunter-like action, this can be seen from the first moment we take control of our character and see that the camera it’s in 3rd person just like in the hack and slash games, we also have the ability to jump and in terms of combat, using a button to weak attacks and another button for the stronger attacks, which gives great variety and flexibility to make combos, not to mention the powers that we have access by holding L1 or R1 combined with the attack buttons, one thing that struck me is that we can pin your enemies and leave them at the mercy of the attacks of our partners or have them hold while we finish them off.
Day or night
During the game time is changing, so if we leave a town in the day to perform some task is likely to go through the sunset and it’s dark, this will make the enemies stronger as well as we need to be equipped with a flashlight if you do not want to be surprised by different creatures in the dark.
Beautiful scenario
One of the strengths of Dragon’s Dogma is the graphics, which were performed using the engine MT Framework owned by CAPCOM but adapted for an open world, resulting in landscapes that look great in our HD displays and also runs smoothly when played on consoles giving a very respectable frame rate despite everything that’s happening at the same time.
Epic enemies
We can’t forget to mention the boss battles which look great, with dragons flying through the air, besides the giant trolls have a battle with a Chimera in a cave and another with a Griffon in the open. The detail that I liked during fights with the bosses is that we can hold the button get a hold of these creatures in order to achieve damage in specific areas or just for make attacks with greater force.
Conclusions
After all Dragon’s Dogma manages to be a good game that may be able to attract those who already squeezed the most of Skyrim or are looking for an experience lighter and more accessible, as well as curious is the fact that along with this game will come bundled a code to download the demo of Resident Evil 6 which for many will be reason enough to buy it, I think it’s worth giving it a try despite several details with the camera that hopefully are corrected in the final game.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
Heres the new trailer of Sly Cooper Thieves in Time that shows us how it will use the PS Vita functions like the SIXAXIS or the Dual Analog Sticks, also will be compatible with Croos Game Saves in case you may want to continue playing it on the PS3.
A few months ago it was announced by Square Enix a Kingdom Hearts 3D special edition commemorating the 10th anniversary of the series, which includes the following:
• Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dreap Drop Distance] (Nintendo 3DS)
• Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS)
• Kingdom Hearts Re: coded (Nintendo DS)
• Cover for Nintendo 3DS with a Kingdom Hearts design
• 12 cards with art from the series
This edition was released on March 29th in Japan with a price of 15,000 yen, something like $150 and there are no plans to be distributed in any other country, besides the 3DS is region lock so if you’re planning to import it, you’ll also need a Japanese 3DS.
Today it was announced the collector’s edition of Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance that will come to America with the name of Mark of Mastery Edition including:
• Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dreap Drop Distance] (Nintendo 3DS)
• Cover for Nintendo 3DS with a Kingdom Hearts design
• 12 cards with art from the series
• 5 AR cards which unlock exclusive Dream Eaters
To tell you the truth, I prefer the version of the 10th anniversary but unfortunately it`ll only be available in pictures, AR Cards that added to the American version are the palliative for not including DS games but hopefully at least, the fact that it doesn’t include the other 2 games of the series make the price considerably lower.
The Dream Eaters above are like Pokemons to use during battles in the game, we’ll see if they are really special.
Just yesterday Diablo 3 was released and already has a long list of problems.
It all started when the servers were opened, being one of the most anticipated games of the year, there were millions of users ready to start playing but since Blizzard decided to open the servers around the world at the same time, in the moment they opened them, the servers saturated and collapsed, making it nearly impossible to connect to play and now that the single player mode also need to be connected to the server, there is no way to avoid the traffic of users that want to play at the same time.
Besides these problems, today a bug was discovered, when you are using a Demon Hunter if you have one of your followers as Templar and equip a shield on him, the game returns to the main screen with no option to connect back to your Battle.net account.
Blizzard commented that they are working in a patch to correct errors and will be ready as soon as possible and hopefully these details do not alienate users of this great game.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
A few days ago Capcom released some extra details on Resident Evil 6, which will be available this October 2 worldwide.
As we know the game is divided into 3 main characters Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Wesker’s son who now we know is called Jake Muller.
Another thing that has been revealed is that Jake is some type of mercenary who gets involved in this conflict because Sherry Birkin, the blonde coming out in the trailer, hired him to investigate the case of virus-C knowing that he is immune.
We also learned that Chris comes from a mission in China that don’t ended very well and in which it is believed that Ada Wong was involved, giving it a context for the scene where Chris is attacking Ada while Leon defends her.
Something else about the game is to be including a multiplayer Mercenaries style, accessible from the first day of release without an extra purchase as DLC.
To conclude let you know that Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer of the game, said in an interview that for now, no version of Resident Evil 6 will be release for Wii-U, but this is only “for now” so maybe in the future we can see RE6 in Wii-U.
It has been reported in the official Playstation blog that at the end of this month will a 1.11 version of the Uncharted 3 patch, which includes several changes to the multiplayer mode, the most important are list here:
. – The Lab, which has already been seen in Uncharted 2, where we have a series of games in different modes, played one after another to give variety to the game.
. – Elimination Mode containing treasures of Team Deathmatch.
. – Message of the day, it returns the message of the day with news, tips and other information.
. – Advanced Settings where you can change the respawn time and the weapons we want to use.
. – Leaving a game before finalizing will be counted as a defeat in your score.
The developers of multiplayer Robert Cogburn and Justin Richmond commented that went from version 1.09 to 1.11 because 1.10 had only minor changes and decided to wait until a more complete version.
Get ready to download this updated as it becomes available to use the new features.
During the transmission of Nintendo Direct that Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo, presents he showed some pictures of the new game for the N3DS “New Super Mario Bros. 2” which looks to be in 2D and will be release at August in Japan.
In the pictures you can see the Tanooki Suit as Mario used it in Super Mario Bros 3 NES and another shows a Gold Koopa or Gold Mario.
A serial killer, a police officer and a desperate father are the ingredients that give rise to the plot of Heavy Rain, a PS3 exclusive game developed by the team of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in collaboration with Quantic Dream.
A perfect life ……
You wake up in your bedroom, the sun coming through the window, you look out into the garden, take a shower and remember that it is the birthday of your son Jason, the eldest, your wife took him shopping with his brother Shaun, when they return to home it is time for the food but you give yourself time to get out and play around with the boys.
This is how it all begins in Heavy Rain, a game with a style very different from others that it could be called interactive movie before considering it a videogame but that would be very little to describe what actually is, an unforgettable experience .
Trying to avoid spoilers I can tell you that the story revolves around a serial killer plaguing the city, all seen through 4 different characters that at some point their paths cross to give us different angles of this story so we can get to solve the case of “The Origami Killer.”
Why can’t I run?
The first thing you will notice right after taking control of one of the characters is that you can not run or jump, or hit, just simply walk, observe and interact with some objects, but here is where the primary detail of Heavy Rain comes in, that at all times you will be deciding whether or not to do various activities, which may have consequences for subsequent events trying to give you the feeling that you get real life when making decisions, these range from your character to bathe or get to work or both or neither and continue the story without a problem until you get to some more complex decisions where the life of the characters will be at risk.
Some times in the game we have the freedom to explore different areas, in these parts you have the possibility to hear the thoughts of our characters with the touch of a button in order to understand better and know what their reactions to different situations are.
You’ll need good reflexes
There are several action sequences where we will be pressing the buttons that appears on the screen or perform certain movements with the sticks to put your character to do different moves, some even used the forgotten Sixaxis and a few time ago was added the compatibility with the PSmove to try to give a better experience when playing.
Some may think it is a slow game but we must consider it is the way that the developers want for us to assimilate all that is happening in this complex story and to get the desired sense of drama.
Reality or Virtual Reality
A highlight is the graphic look, which not surprised cause it was developed by a specialist motion capture study, what they managed to do with the faces of the characters within the game was something to be considered among the best in the world to capture facial feelings into virtual models.
During the loading screens between the different scenes show us the faces of the character you control in a close up and this is where we can appreciate the amount of detail with which they were made.
Why play it?
As I said earlier, beyond a game is a life experience, you just need to go with the story of this fantastic psychological thriller that will keep you hooked and will not let you release the control, the game is made for you to be enjoyed like a movie only with the small detail that lasts between 8 to 10 hours depending on your actions, so I think that if you finish it in about 4 or 5 days you will have all the information still fresh in your memory.
Why NOT to play?
Just to begin, ¿am I playing?, There are several times when we will be mere spectators of a film in HD, along with several loose middle parts where the story progresses very slowly and in my case I played it in Spanish of Castile, and several animations are not in rhythm with the sound.
This is MY end
Actually I became a fan of the game since I finished it, but I encourage you to keep the story has you get it in the first try and stay with that version as your own Heavy Rain, talking with others who have played it I realized that all had a different ending and I think that’s what makes it special, the feeling that everyone has their own end.
Ihighly recommend that you play it and doesn’t matter if you just rent it for a weekend, what matters is not to miss the opportunity to enjoy it.
GAMERSCORE 9/10
