Update: Metroid and Mario get dated [1]
Original Story: Kotaku Australia is reporting that we will likely see Nintendo’s first two heavy hitters of the year, namely “Metroid Other M” and “Super Mario Galaxy” earlier than we had initially thought, the publisher pinning the release-date to a “Mid Year” release window.
How does that make you feel?
Update:
“Super Mario Galaxy 2″ is coming to the US on May 23rd, “Metroid Other M” is scheduled for June 27th. “Galaxy 2″ trailer coming up later today.
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 [Comments Off]
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.
How far would you go for… a Starcraft II beta key? [5]
This LA woman would go very, very far, as this posting on Craigslist depicts. Potentially NSFW.
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.
God of War III Demo hitting on the 25th [2]
For all of you who did not get a chance to play the “God of War III” demo yet, rejoice! ThatGamingSite is reporting that the rather extended E3 build of the game might be available on PSN come February 25, which not only is the date the demos’s exclusivity to GAME.co.uk expires, but also a thursday… and we all know what happens on thursday.
No, not ladies night at the bar downtown, but PSN update day.
Less than a month until the full game is out, exclusively on PS3. On a scale of 1-10, how pumped are you? I’m at 11, thanks for asking.
