TheySayImTheOne — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:28:43 +0000

Scott Phillips has provided some commentary on the controller and sharing features of the upcoming PS4. In an interview with Now Gamer on March 25, the senior designer of “Saints Row 4” disclosed that he is intrigued by the touch pad of the DualShock 4. He also liked that it looked similar to the DualShock 2. Furthermore, Scott Phillips also revealed that the sharing feature will be beneficiary to the “Saints Row” series because a lot of bizarre moments tend to happen while playing the video games. You can check out some screens from “Saints Row 4,” as well as some images of the PS4 controller and sharing features, in the slideshow at the top of this article.

Even with the praise, Scott Phillips and the rest of his team at Volition have no plans to release “Saints Row 4” for the PS4. Instead, the open world action-adventure video game will be coming out for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in the North American region on Aug. 20.

Sony’s Aggressively Approaching Indie Developers for PS4

TheySayImTheOne — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:21:22 +0000

You may not have dwelled on the idea too much, but PlayStation has become a bit of a haven for indie developers over the past couple of months. In just a few short weeks, the publisher has announced a slew of cult titles for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, including Hotline Miami, Thomas Was Alone, and Frozen Synapse: Tactics. It’s a philosophy that the platform holder’s really emphasising at this year’s GDC – and in an interview with Gamasutra, Sony’s developer and publisher relations executive Adam Boyes has confirmed that the strategy is being extended to the PlayStation 4, too.

“[Indie games] have been a big focus for us,” he told the website. “The great thing is, unilaterally, because [Worldwide Studios president] Shuhei Yoshida is such a big fan of indie developers, they allowed us to say, ‘Hey, guess what, indies are top priority as well,’ so we’ve gone very aggressively after a lot of independent developers for PS4.”

The fruits of the company’s labour are already starting to show, with both Primal Carnage: Genesis and Blacklight: Retribution confirmed for the PS4 overnight. But how is the manufacturer ensuring that the best talent flocks to its machine?…

Nyko unveils Charge Station U, Pro Commander Wii U peripherals at CES 2013

TheySayImTheOne — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:00:41 +0000

In the past few years, Nyko’s transformed from a third-party peripheral manufacturer of poor repute to one many gamers depend on for quality products. Devices like the Nintendo Wii Charge Station and the 3DS Power Pak+ went a long way in earning good will, and the latest slew of add-ons continues the company’s recent tradition. Nyko’s Charge Station U ($34.99) bolsters the standard Wii U GamePad charge stand with space for two plain Wii controllers (and includes rechargeable batteries for said Wii controllers), and its Pro Commander ($34.99) takes Nintendo’s Pro Controller and swaps the awkward analog stick placement for a more traditional feel (read: like an Xbox 360 controller).

Project Fiona becomes Razer Edge, starts at $999, sans controller

TheySayImTheOne — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:53:46 +0000

Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan has been dreaming about building a true PC gaming portable for years. He’s cooked up prototype clamshells, controller-toting tablets, and built two top of the line gaming laptops along the way — but now his dream is almost ready: the Razer Edge. Look familiar? It should. It’s been handled, teased and even redesigned at the behest of Razer’s social legions. It’s Project Fiona evolved. Hoping to keep pace with community feedback, Razer is kitting out the Edge with a 3rd gen Intel Core processor, a 10.1-inch 1,366 x 768 display, an NVIDIA GT640M LE GPU, 4-8GB of DDR3 RAM, USB 3.0 and a 64, 128 or 256GB SSD, depending on the SKU. Min translated the slate’s build into some digestible framerates: 59 fps in Dishonored, he told us, and 41 fps in DiRT Showdown. Sound intriguing? It gets better — the baseline 1.7Ghz Core i5 variant of the Edge will sell for $999 and the beefed up 1.9GHz Core i7 Pro model will run for $1299, keeping the device well below the community’s $1,300 to $1,500 price expectations. Even better, the whole shebang is going to be available in the first quarter of this year.

Intro: Fuse (The Echelon Multiplayer)

TreFitzgerald — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:52:20 +0000

Fuse is about an outbreak of an alien substance that is being sought after by human beings in order to create it in to weaponry,m you have to use fuse in order to survive and restore the environment Like many others in the categorize you have to survive wave after wave of enemies and you and a buddy have to defend your teams supply while fending off tons of enemies forces, The more you progress the faster the enemies pursue making for a very intense experience. ” Despite our inexperience and grouping up with total strangers, improvised strategies came naturally to our team because each character’s signature weapon defines their role. After taking the back seat on that last encounter, I decided to snag our newly awarded heavy flamethrower and have a good old-fashioned bad-guy BBQ on the next wave. As it turns out, giant robots of doom don’t cook up so nicely, especially when they’re four times your size and can shrug off bullets like they were gumdrops. Seriously, shooting at these things from the front was like throwing pennies at plate armor. Upon discovering the weak point on the rear, we split up hoping to draw the metal bastard’s fire, leaving a teammate room to peg him from behind.” Says Testers at Ign,The graphics look great and basically realistic to say the least. There’s total of 22 levels to beat with plenty sub-boss and main bosses to keep you busy!
You can even play single player campaign if you can handle it! Yes that’s a challenge!

Far Cry 3 is a delightful and harsh tropical wonderland, crawling with wildlife and threatened by the pirates and drug runners that disrupt its peace. The troubled paradise you explore is colorful and wild, enticing you to investigate its ravines and discover new ways to enjoy the open-world playground sprawling in front of you.

You gradually journey across the entirety of two sunny and sinful islands, hunting for rare game, speeding medicine to needy communities, and skinning sharks so that you might craft new wallets with their hides. Far Cry 3 is an excellent game, marred mainly by some irritating design elements and an inconsistent story that often defaults to generic “tribal” cliches to make an impact.
