Halo: Reach multiplayer trailered [0]
Bungie has released the much anticipated first look at the multiplayer modes in “Halo: Reach”. I have one word for you: Jetpack. Watch it, watch it now. continue reading →
You Beta play some Blur [3]
In other beta related news, while you guys were probably hungover all day, I worked like a busy worker bee to uncover a limited exclusive free offer of inconceivable worth to enter the “Blur” beta on Xbox 360. For free. Since your head is still probably a little mushy, I’ll give you a step-by-step rundown of how this is going to work:
- Cut a hole in a box
- Register for a free one month trial to IGN’s Founder Club membership. You will need a credit card, and it might show up as a charge of 0 dollars. I am kidding, no one charges you 0 dollars, but I was not kidding about the credit card part.
- Put your junk in that box
- Sign up for the “top secret” beta on fileplanet.
The whole ordeal requires less than 5 minutes of your time, and I don’t think I can stress enough how awesome “Blur” is. Do it for the children.
Also, the “Blur” website finally has a section where you can download a picture of a (or multiple) hot chick(s) and use it as your desktop background. Not exactly my thing but I thought I’d let you know.
Split/Second gets a release date, as well as a subtitle [0]
“Split/Second” is out May 18th in the US. “Split/Second: Velocity” is out May 21st in Europe.
I got nothing.
Dead Space 2 gets first screenshots [3]
DigitalGames have obtained 6 screenshot’s from EA’s survival horror sequel “Dead Space 2″. Clearly, the game still looks like “Dead Space”, except that Isaac’s new suit looks more badass than ever. Take a look!
Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is out this week [6]
If you are lusting for more “Borderlands”, this is your lucky day. Owners of the Xbox 360 version of the game will be able to download the new content, titled “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx” — what are you; some kind of Sherlock Holmes for knowing this already? — Playstation 3 owners will have to wait until Thursday. That’s right, ladies night. 10 bucks will get you in.
PC version you ask? Uh… awkward. I have no idea.
The add-on includes a whole new area for you to explore, as well as a new vehicle, new weapons and, finally, a raised level cap: You can now turn it up all the way to 61. #spinaltapreferencefail #twittertaginblogpostfail
Halo: Reach has significantly more ‘p’ than Halo 3 [0]
Digital Foundry has taken a good look at that “Halo: Reach” ViDoc released a week ago, revealing what seems to be the resolution of the game’s current iteration: 1152×720, without any anti-aliasing.
“Halo 3″ as well as “Halo 3: ODST” sported the oft-critized resolution of 1152×640, which means that not only is “Reach” displaying 4 times the polygons, the image quality is also much improved.
Personally, I don’t assume this is going to change until the Beta drops in May — we’ll keep you posted. I do have a rather hard time sitting still just thinking about that.
Final Fantasy XIII appears to be lacking a few pixels on Xbox 360 [4]
Pixelcounters unite! Users on NeoGAF have analyzed the holy beejesus out of the recenlty released “Final Fantasy XIII” screens, coming to the conclusion that the Xbox 360 version of the game runs at the resolution of 1024×576, meaning the PlayStation 3 displays 332316 pixels more.
I have altered the picture above the news post to reflect this new development. From now on, posts talking about the Xbox 360 version of the game will have their picture rendered in a much lower resolution, to adjust your eyes to Final Fantasy XIII’s deficiencies. Also, to save bandwidth. Two birds, one stone.
It remains to be seen if these claims are indeed true, because this is huge. I don’t know how much you know about screen resolutions, I’m an expert, but honor and shame are huge parts of it. If you screw someone over with a sub HD resolution, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Xbox 360 owners, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase FFXIII, nor will they purchase any of Square’s games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and make the Xbox 360 version 720p or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Alan Wake Sequel “should [part 1] be successful” [4]
![Alan Wake Sequel “should [part 1] be successful”](http://www.wearetheinternetz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/aw.jpg "Alan Wake Sequel “should [part 1] be successful”")
VG247’s Patrick Garratt sat down with Remedy’s Oskari Häkkinen and spoke to him about the possibility of a sequel to “Alan Wake”:
You want to think of this as Season 1, so to speak, of a TV series. This will have a satisfactory and conclusive ending, but we will leave doors open, just as they do in Lost of 24, where they have a satisfactory ending to the season but they leave some doors open for the larger story. Just the same here. We’ll have the satisfactory and conclusive ending, and should this be successful then we will do Season 2.
I am not one to guilt trip you into things, but I think you should save up some cash. I have a good feeling about this one, and if I am right, we’ll probably all want more “Alan Wake”. In short: Please buy this.
