Aliens
survival mode
Gearbox
Software has released a trailer showcasing a new gametype for its upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines. The mode is called Survivor and is their take on the popular and incredibly fun Horde archetype that many games have implemented
in recent years. In Survivor 4 people playing as Marines
must work together building fortifications, purchasing weapons and opening
rooms in order to try and fend off waves of computer controlled Xenomorphs as
they try and kill you all. I’m not sure but a lot of sites seem to be saying
that you will die in this gametype, which to me means that it will be
like Firefight in Halo 3: ODST where the waves never end
making it all about high score not actually finishing it as seen in Gears of War. Check out the trailer below.
Guess infinite
has its limitations
Irrational
Games’s Creative Director and Co-Creator
Ken Levine told fans via Twitter
that the upcoming Bioshock Infinite will
not include multiplayer. There had been
mention previously about the possibility of multiplayer and experimenting with
ideas, but evidently it didn’t amount to anything. Whether this is because they felt that they had
no need or nothing significant to offer in regards to multiplayer or if the
number of departures from their studio prevented them from be able to complete
a multiplayer component is unknown. The
original Bioshock did not offer
multiplayer, but Bioshock 2 did
although it was designed outside of the studio by Digital Extremes. Bioshock Infinite comes out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on February 26th.
Mass Effect
3 Omega DLC
Today Bioware is releasing Omega,
the latest single player add-on for Mass
Effect 3. The story revolves around Shepard
joining forces with Aria T'loak to
reclaim Omega from Cerberus control. Despite the fact that
the Wii U just launched with Mass Effect 3 and all of its DLC to date it will not be receiving
this add-on tomorrow, possibly ever. Omega
will cost 1200MSP or $15US and will be available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Dragon’s
Dogma DLC
Capcom
is releasing a free update for Dragon’s
Dogma on December 4th.
The update will include a “Hard Mode” and a “Speed Run” mode as well as
4 new outfits (2 unlocked by the completion of each new mode). Quite frankly
the fact that it took 6 months for the addition of Hard Mode and a time trial mode is pretty surprising, I mean why
wasn’t this stuff there initially? That being said I am glad that this is a
free update although it doesn’t do much for those who don’t have their consoles
connected to online.
MGR preorder
bonus
If you pre-order the upcoming Platinum Games title Metal Gear Rising: Revengence from GameStop you will receive a special
bonus sure to excite long-time fans of the Metal
Gear series. What is this special bonus? An alternate costume for Raiden that makes him look like Cyborg Ninja from Metal Gear Solid 1&2. This bonus will only be available to
those in North America, but Europe is said to receiving its own bonus content
to make up for it.
I don't do blog updates in my Twitter account any more, but you can still follow me there: @Aeonofdoom360. Also feel free to post comments.
