Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is out this week

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 [Comments Off]

Halo: Reach has significantly more ‘p’ than Halo 3

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]

Final Fantasy XIII appears to be lacking a few pixels on Xbox 360

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”

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.

Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto appear in new Super Street Fighter IV trailer

While neither Dudley, nor Ibuki or Makoto are officially confirmed to be in the game, that doesn’t mean Capcom can’t just release a trailer featuring just those 3 characters promoting their upcoming release of “Super Street Fighter IV”.

You can check out the trailer over at Kotaku and then look at this totally accurate list of characters leaked about 6 months ago. Good to be in the know, eh?

DarkSiders demo hitting Xbox Live & PSN

THQ would like you to know that there will be a demo for “DarkSiders” on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace come February 25th.

As far as I understood from the press release, the demo of the game might be available on PS3 as well, but not in Germany. I’ll update this space once I know more.

Update: Yup, PSN is also getting the demo. Sorry, Gemany.

The demo will feature the entire ‘Twilight Cathedral’ section of the game. This will give you a pretty good look at the game, as that part of the game lasts about an hour or more.
You should totally check it out once it hits.
