Bioshock Infinite
delayed
What was one of this year’s most
anticipated games, Bioshock Infinite,
has now been pushed back to next year.
The game was supposed to come out n October 16th, but will
now come out on February 26th.
It is really disappointing to find out that I’ll have to wait even, longer
to get my hands on this game, since it has been looking so incredible for so
long. Another disappointing announcement
regarding the game is that it will not be shown off at E3 next month or at Gamescon
in August.
Tomb Raider also
delayed
Another game that I am personally
very excited to see has been pushed to 2013.
Tomb Raider is now scheduled to
come out in the first quarter of next year, but unlike Infinite it will be shown off at E3. If the delay means that
the finished game will play as well as it looks than I am all for it, also
since the fall is such a crowed time for games it is probably best to reboot
the series when more people can devote their attention to it, so that the
franchise doesn’t fall by the wayside.
Dishonorable
Fall
The steampunk inspired game that has
garnered a lot of attention as of late from Bethesda’s
Arkane Studios will be coming out on
Oct 9th. A lot of people got
super excited for this game after its trailer was released, but I haven’t been completely
sold yet. Hopefully at E3 there will be some gameplay footage
to show how the stealth and action elements are balanced.
AC3 gameplay
trailer
Assassin’s
Creed 3 has released a pretty impressive gameplay trailer after teasing it earlier
in the week. The developers said that
they wanted more speed and fluidity from the assassinations in this title and
the end of the trailer shows that off really well, where he stabs a guy, lifts
him, takes a few steps, drops him and keeps running so that he never stops and
can assassinate someone else. The
ability to duck into certain houses through the window is really cool and so is
the ability to use an enemy as a meat-shield because it finally gives the grab
action a purpose. I’m also curious as to
what you’re supposed to be accomplishing by running into a battlefield with
hundreds of armed soldiers, can’t see that ending well. My only complaint is that there still isn’t
any footage or images available about Desmond. Hopefully it is because they are saving that
reveal for E3.
Who will
Avenge this?
The
Avengers has been dominating the box office, which fills my heart with joy
because Joss Whedon is great and totally deserves it. Due to its massive success there should be no
surprise that some sort of game will seek to cash in on it. That game is Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth for the Wii U & Kinect, which
fills my heart with sadness. It will not
be based on the movie, but rather on the Secret
Invasion comic storyline. I
understand that making a real game with a whole bunch of unique characters that
all play differently would be really difficult, but couldn’t there be a more
focused and refined version of Ultimate Alliance
rather than some sort of motion control game?
BF3 rent-a-server
Battlefield 3 has apparently been
lowering its number of dedicated multiplayer servers since releasing a patch
that allows players to rent servers for $30 a month. I don’t play Battlefield, but this sounds terrible to me. So from what I gather, now in the majority of
matches someone will have host advantage because it is their server and they
will also be able to customize the rules and settings for the game, giving them
an even greater advantage, all for $30 a month.
They are basically buying an advantage for a large sum of money,
considering that it’s half of the original price of the game per month. So apparently players get screwed unless they
want to give EA more money because
they are renting the majority of their servers making it harder for people to
find a normal, fair game. EA has said that this is popular on the PC versions of Battlefield but I don’t see why, at least not when the
rent-a-servers are the majority as opposed to the minority that you go to for
something different. If anyone likes
having rented as opposed to dedicated servers please post a comment and tell me
why, I’d really like to see the other side of this.
