You may have a heard that the Japanese version of Ridge Racer for PS Vita didn’t include a whole lot of content from the get-go. The game was priced cheaper than other Vita titles as buyers were expected to beef up the experience by purchasing DLC cars and tracks as they became available.
Do you ever daydream about what AAA games will look like in ten years’ time? I know I do, but somewhere along the line reality kicks in and the rational part of my brain reminds me about the exorbitant costs associated with producing a full game’s worth of environments and characters which look as detailed as their real-world counterparts.
It’s finally here. The fifth iteration of the venerable Soul Calibur weapons-based fighter is due for release tomorrow in the US and later this week around the rest of the world, and a crushing launch trailer has been released just in time to stoke the excitement for franchise fans.
But that’s not the half of it.
If you thought there weren’t going to be many big releases during the month of April then think again. CD Projekt has just announced that The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition will be released for both Xbox 360 and PC on April 17th, and will feature hours of new content as well as numerous gameplay tweaks.
2012 looks set to be a big year for the 3DS, with a number of illustrious franchises splashing down on the handheld during the course of this year. Tekken 3D: Prime Edition is a great example of this growing trend, and promises to keep fighting game enthusiasts happy with its huge roster, diverse multiplayer options and 60 frames per second visuals.
The giant robot action game from Namco Bandai and From Software, Armored Core V, recently received a formal release date and gamers looking to scratch the itch of intense mech-based combat can look forward to late March for their jollies.
You haven’t heard of Armored Core V? Let’s put that right with a host of screenshots and trailers to get us all up to speed!
Last week I posted an article highlighting the fact that four free Dark Souls dynamic themes were available on the Japanese PlayStation Store. Today five more dynamic themes have been added to the Store and are now available to download along with last week’s offerings.
If you’re a Dark Souls fan with a Japanese PSN account then it’s time to head on over to the Japanese PlayStation Store and download four free dynamic themes which were published today.
The dynamic themes each represent a different Covenant found in the game: Way of White, Darkwraith, Princess’s Guard, and Warrior of Sunlight.
The latest trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was unveiled during Saturday’s Spike Video Game Awards, and ended with confirmation that this PS3 title is scheduled for a holiday 2012 release - some months later than many people had anticipated.
The Japanese version of Dark Souls has been sitting at v1.05 for a while now, but those of us in Western territories have had to wait a week or two longer to receive the much-needed changes and fixes From Software has introduced via the latest patch.
The patch went live yesterday for both PS3 and Xbox 360, and weighs in at 11 MB and 4 MB respectively. From Software has made numerous changes to improve the game’s balance and fixed some rather severe glitches such as the one which allowed players to obtain infinite souls.
There are plenty of CG movies released every year but very few of them cater primarily to an older audience. I try to watch the films which fall into this category (from Resident Evil: Degeneration to Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) partly for their entertainment factor and partly because they offer a tantalising glimpse into the future of video game graphics.
If you’re a regular visitor to El33tonline you’ll have noticed that I’m more than a little fond of Dark Souls. From Software’s follow-up to the innovative Demon’s Souls is one of those few games which place you firmly in control of your destiny and offers one of the most addictive gameplay experiences around.
Want to know when the next new arcade-style racing game from Namco Bandai is due for release? Then you’re definitely in the right place, because Ridge Racer: Unbounded has been dated for March 2012, and will become available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC!
Imagine a world where any surface - not only floors, but walls and ceilings too - could be augmented by gravity at any time to become a new place to walk. Imagine a world where gravity itself was able to be toggled on and off as you please.
