Super Smash Bros. Game System Complete

August 9, 2012 0 comments


Today, the producer of the newest and unreleased Super Smash Bros., Masahiro Sakurai, has given some new information about the game, such as the that the game system for the game is finished.

“The game system itself is complete, so we don’t want to make it 3D or introduce complicated controls just for the sake of it," says Sakurai However. "I am thinking of ways we can introduce a slightly different, fun experience all the while keeping the usual frantic game play.”

Sakurai also hints at the possibility that there will be a short list or no list of non-Nintendo characters in the new Super Smash Bros.

"I think Snake and Sonic joining were fantastic. It made many fans happy, and it broadened the Smash Bros arena," he said. "However, introducing more non-Nintendo characters willy-nilly will lose the focus of the game, so I also recognise the need to narrow it down."

The new Super Smash Bros. game will be out on the Wii U and 3DS at an unknown time.

Newest TF2 Update Celebrates the Year of The Dog

August 2, 2012 0 comments


Today Valve released a Content Update for Team Fortress 2 known as the Triad Pack that gives players new weapons, hats and misc. items as well as announcing a new King of The Hill map that will be released in the near future.


Weapons

Red Tape Recorder (Spy) -  A new type of sapper that instead of destroying buildings, will reverse the building's cycle until it reverts back into a toolbox that can be picked up as ammo. Engies can destroy the sappers but will have to rebuild it where it was sapped.

Flying Guillotine (Scout) - A new secondary for scout, this throwable hatchet will cause enemies to take bleed damage for a few seconds. Long Distance throws will mini-crit and stunned enemies will take full on crits.

Huo Long Heatmaker (Heavy) - This new minigun that will surround you in a ring of flames that will set any enemy on fire in range while deployed, useful for warding off spies. However when you spin-up the weapon it will use 6 ammo per second.

Neon Annhilator (Pyro) - This unorthadox melee weapon for Pyro will automatically crit on enemies that are wet (from mad milk, jarate and possibly when submerged in water) but will have a 20% slower attack and has no random crits.

Hats & Misc.

Human Cannonball (All) - This new all-class hat resembles Crash Helmets worn by Stuntmen, this hat has 3 styles which are regular, adding dragon decals on the side and also adding skater stickers all over the helmet.


Marxman (All) - An all class Misc item that gives the wearer a pair of Groucho Glasses bound together by tape. The item has two styles that gives the item a novelty cigar and one that doesn't have one.


Champ Stamp (Heavy, Sniper, Engineer, Scout) - Be the first class to have a tattoo of a dragon on your arm as well as wearing some fancy wristwear also.


Triad Trinket (Heavy, Sniper, Scout, Engineer, Spy) - Quite possibly the weirdest item in the update, this gives your class an open shirt with a flipped collar and gold necklaces. What makes it weird is that the item has a style that adds chest hair on your character. (except for Scout)



In the near future Valve will also be releasing a new King of the Hill Map named: Kong King, nothing is known about this map except it's gametype and that it will have a Hong Kong theme. Expect this map to be out this month.

Mass Effect 3 getting SIngle Player DLC (And Wii U News)

0 comments

If you've been tired of all the new Multiplayer DLC for Mass Effect then you'll be happy to know that the rumored DLC titled Leviathan is completely true.


The story of "Leviathan" takes place during the events of Mass Effect 3, Commander Shepard investigates the origin of the Reapers creation as well as finding Leviathan, a supposed rouge Reaper that has indoctrinated a small mining company.

The DLC pack will also let players unlock the raider shotgun (previously exclusive to origin) and the Argus assault rifle (Gamestop Pre-Order). The pack is expected to be released later this summer for 10 dollars on PSN and Origin and 800 MS points On Live. Bioware has also released a new trailer for the DLC too.



A new FireFight pack will also be released August 7th for 2 dollars on Live, PSN and PC that contains 7 new weapons to use in single player. The weapons haven't been revealed yet except for an SMG that was shown in the screenshot below.


And lastly, Bioware and EA has announced that Mass Effect 3 will be a Wii U launch title, while it seems like a gift to future Wii U owners, it seems like they'd be left out of the loop without having both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Bioware has solved that problem by including an interactive comic that recaps the events of the First 2 games as well as the Extended cut DLC. The Wii U version will integrate new controls using the Wii U's touch screen to make navigation and commanding your squad much easier.

Fortnite Will be First to Use the Unreal Engine 4

July 13, 2012 0 comments

Looks like we'll be seeing Unreal Engine 4 sooner than we thought as Epic games has announced that they will be using the Engine on its brand new Zombie Killing Sandbox title, Fortnite. This was announced by them at Comic Con as well as giving some better detail to the game.


The Zombie-like enemy of the game are called the husks and there will be a variety of archetypes that will each work together to bring down your fortress.


For example, there are big enemies called Smashers who are best at tearing down your structures walls and ones called trolls who can pass through your fortifications and steal your items, making it harder to rebuild if smashers break your structure.

Don't think you're completely defenseless from the husks. You have the ability to tweak and create your buildings and fortresses anyway you see fit from placement of your doors, arches and even perches to snipe off from. This game will definitely take advantage of players creativity and architectural skills to master this game.


Let your Imagination run wild before the Husks do. 

You can pick up Fortnite sometime next year for the PC, I'm definitely going to check out this title

Your Borderlands Save File Benefits you in the Sequel.

July 6, 2012 0 comments

Looks like Gearbox is taking the Valve path and is giving Borderlands' Veterans a special treat in the sequel, if you have a save file of a completed game (not including the DLC packs) you will be rewarded a special in game head and skin for each class in Borderlands 2.


If you played the first Boderlands, you'll easily recognize such characters including the Crimson Lance Soldier (Commando Class), Patricia Tannis (Siren), Sledge (Gunzerker), and the Badass Spiderant (Assassin). Aside from the nifty head items, the skins look awkward except for the Assassin's.

Don't fret if you don't have a completed file, there will be way more Heads and Skins that can be obtained in Borderlands 2 from a handful of ways. You can still get your copy of the original and beat it if those skins are a must have for you. Borderlands 2 will be out September 18th.
