Nintendo lining
up its big names
Miyamoto
has confirmed that Pikmin 3 as well
as a new Mario Bros. game will be shown
off for the Wii U at E3 this June. In addition to that Nintendo has announced that New
Super Mario Bros. 2 will be for the 3DS
instead of the Wii. The Wii
isn’t totally abandoned though because a Kirby
compilation is on its way to the system to celebrate the pink ball’s 20th
anniversary.
Tekken Tag 2
no character DLC
Tekken
Producer Katsuhiro Harada has said
that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will not
feature any characters that must be unlocked through paid DLC. He has also said that
he doesn’t have anything against Capcom
or their business strategy (smart since they are working together), but Tekken sees the characters as chess
pieces who are integral to the game and cannot be kept unavailable for players. From what he has said there might be
downloadable costumes for the characters if the fans want them and there may be
an option down the line to buy the characters if you don’t feel like unlocking
them by playing the game like in previous instalments. I’m glad to see someone come out and say that
they will not charge people money for what they were always given before and it
is a smart move as well since it means there game is less expensive, which
would make be want it as opposed to Capcom’s
fighters.
Arkham City
GotY Edition
Batman
Arkham City will be releasing a Game
of The Year Edition that contains all of the game’s DLC. This includes the one
that came with new copies and should have been on the disk because of how much
they talked about its significance to the story (Catwoman), the one that you got for pre-ordering at the right place
(Robin) and the only one people
should have had to pay for (Nightwing). In addition it will have a brand new piece of
DLC, which will be the game’s last, titled
Harley Quinn’s Revenge. The new add-on is story based and features
both Batman and Robin dealing with Harley
Quinn after the fallout of Arkham
City.
Deadlight
Gameplay trailer
A gameplay trailer for the new XBLA game called Deadlight looks pretty interesting.
It seems like Shadow Complex meets
I Am Alive meets zombies. So check it out below.
Dishonored
The premiere trailer for Dishonored
was released. The trailer looks really
cool but I would like to see more of it including some gameplay and maybe a
power coming from that left hand that isn’t the same as a shout before I get to
excited. Also I know this is published,
not created, by Bethesda but
seriously not every game needs to start with your character in a prison, ok guys?
Halo 4
details
Halo
4 will have a number of changes to its multiplayer experience. First off they are attempting to create a
reason for the multiplayer and it is that you are a Spartan IV, a new type of Spartan,
and are in a holographic training scenario.
Other changes include Sprint
being a default ability and Reclaimer
Vision, which allows you to see through walls, as a new armour ability. They have also added the ability to unlock
changes to your loadouts as you rank up.
I hate seeing better weapon loadouts for more experienced players like
in CoD, I would rather they keep
unlockables purely cosmetic. I have to
say though, I don’t understand what loadouts you will be able to pick since you
obviously can’t start with a Rocket
Launcher so would have to pick between something like the Pistol, Assault Rifle and DMR, which means everyone will pick DMR and then swap out armour abilities
like in Reach. There is also a new mode called Regicide. It is a free-for-all gametype where one
player is King and every time he
kills someone the amount of points his life is worth increases. So if the king (who has no unique powers,
this isn’t a Juggernaut variant) gets
a killing spree then whomever kills him would receive 6 points. Lastly is Spartan
Ops, probably the most intriguing change to Halo 4 I’ve heard yet. It is
an episodic co-op campaign. Every week a
new episode in a linear narrative is released and has 5 missions. You and your team (presumably up to 4
players) of Spartan IVs work together to complete these missions, meet new
characters and visit new locations. They
are apparently looking to make Spartan
Ops the size of a full campaign so I have no idea how small these missions
are or how many episodes there will be, but it is an interesting way to keep
people coming back. If every week there
is a new part to a story for me and my friends to play through I’ll keep coming
back to that mode until they stop making new ones or they start to suck. Halo 4
will be released on November 6th, to read and hear more on Halo 4 check out GameInformer in the link below.
