Halo 4 Boxart Revealed

Posted by 8bitpope on

Fans over on the Halo Waypoint Forums were given a chance to piece together the Halo 4 boxart. Microsoft emailed 32 pieces of the artwork to fans that eagerly put together what appeared to be an awesome piece of artwork featuring Master Chief. Gameinformer reports that it only took a single hour for the pieces of the puzzle to be put together.

It is now officially confirmed by Microsoft that the image is of the boxart we should expect to see on shelves on November 6 exclusively for Xbox 360. It’s looking awesome!

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Trailer, Screens and…. Zombies!

Posted by 8bitpope on

If you missed the brand new Call of Duty Black Ops 2 reveal during the NBA Playoffs then fear not. It is now widespread and legitimately revealed on callofduty.com. We apologise for being a bit delayed with the news but we’ve got it all gathered right here. Trailer, Screens and a hint of Zombies tease. Activision and Treyarch are bringing an unusual take on a Call of Duty which will see us gunning our way through Los Angeles in a near future Cold War. To take a step towards future warfare is a first for Call of Duty and it’ll represent the future for Call of Duty itself. Is this the right choice in bringing a new kind of Call of Duty?

Also Gameinformer reports a tease image was revealed on the Call of Duty Twitter page this morning. The tease is aimed towards the highly anticipated zombies mode which inevitably features in the Treyarch development since World at War. No details have been mentioned yet of the new Zombies just this teaser image.

Right! Here is the brand new trailer. We want to know what you think? Future Call of Duty? Will it see us turning away from the likes of the nearing release of Ghost Recon or will it see Call of Duty coming to a tiring conclusion?

Call of Duty Speculations Point Towards A Near-Future Setting

Posted by 8bitpope on

Gameinformer reports that the official Call of Duty site is now teasing with an array of monitors filled with static screens with the words “Coming Soon”. One of these videos is already available and hints towards near future weaponry that could be featured in the next COD game from Activision and Treyarch. Could it be? Activision and Treyarch to release a near future COD?

Details are scarce on callofduty.com, but they’re slowly starting to emerge. The site is currently littered with monitors displaying a “coming soon” message. A few are filled in with static, however. If you click on one of those images, you’re treated to a shot of a weaponized quadrotor drone, which links to the amusing FPS Russia video shown below.

The next Call of Duty rumoured to be titled ‘Eclipse’, will be officially revealed during the NBA Playoffs on May 1. For now we can only assume and speculate on current rumours. More revealed very soon. Look forward to it.

Brand New Trailer For Medal of Honor: Warfighter Features a Stack of Gameplay

Posted by 8bitpope on

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is coming this October and it’s about time we saw some thrilling gameplay. Gameinformer posted the gameplay trailer to EA’s next biggest shooter following the success of 2011’s Battlefield 3.

The new trailer shows off footage of a rescue operation of some foreign aid workers. The action itself, however, is much more intense than it sounds, with plenty of destruction, bullets flying, and a rail-shooting sequence.

I felt that the previous Medal of Honor which took the ‘modern’ approach to wage war against its biggest rival Call of Duty didn’t do such a good job. Trailers in the past have indeed built great anticipation towards what could have been the shooter of the year only to end up being a bit drab and lacking a good character. Until I get my very own taste of the next MOH I can’t judge. Instead enjoy the bullet fire dubstep gameplay trailer and hope that expectations will be met eye to eye with a stern grin of satisfaction.

Assassin’s Creed 3 Artwork Reveals a New Hero and a New Setting

Posted by 8bitpope on

GameInformer have revealed their cover image for the impending April issue featuring the Assassin’s Creed 3 protagonist looking pretty bad ass. We’ve spent the past few Assassin’s Creed titles with Ezio Auditore and we are all in agreement that it’s time to say goodbye to such an iconic character and build great expectations for the next. Ubisoft have been working on this title for 3 years now and so far this is all the information we have with more to be exposed very soon. Assassin’s Creed 3 is to be set in the latter half of the 18th century during the American Revolution. Intriguing! Here are some of the images provided through GameInformer.


A lot to look forward to and this October will be a big month with upcoming games and with little info and some arty images revealed, Assassins Creed 3 is a heavyweight competitor for most anticipated game of 2012 amongst Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite.

Also revealed on the Xbox UK Facebook page is the Assassin’s Creed 3 box art. Can’t wait!

Assassin’s Creed 3 Announced For October Release

Posted by 8bitpope on

Today is all about Ubisoft. Firstly the Far Cry 3 trailer had been revealed and now the big BIG news. Gameinformer reports that Ubisoft have now announced Assassin’s Creed 3 with a release date of October 30, 2012. The publisher has no other details just yet.

“We will push the title a lot because it’s a fantastic product that the team has been working for three years,” said CEO Yves Guillemot. “What we have seen is just fabulous.”

Ubisoft also said it shipped 7 million copies of Assassin’s Creed Revelations so far through December 2011.

I’m not sure what to expect from AC3 but it’s very likely we won’t be within Ezio Auditore’s world. I’ll be looking forward to a whole new character and setting date.

Ubisoft Reveals Intense Far Cry 3 Trailer

Posted by 8bitpope on

A trailer for Far Cry 3 had been leaked today detailing story plot and a release date of September 4th for North America and September 7th in Europe. Gameinformer states that the trailer shows no gameplay what so ever but a very lengthy and impressive cinematic piece.

According to the trailer formerly featured on allgamebeta.com, Far Cry 3 will be releasing September 6, but that could just be the European release date. It looks like the game will put players in the shoes of a kidnapped, presumably college-aged young adult who looks like he would have no problem referring to his pals as “bro” without the slightest hint of irony.

Unfortunately, the trailer has already been pulled, but it should be officially available soon.

Gameinformer later updated their report with Ubisoft eventually and officially revealing the Far Cry 3 trailer for all to see and it is said that if you pre-order from GameStop you’ll earn an additional four missions. You can view this trailer below and expect a heap load of intense strong language.

The Return of the Neo Geo Pocket

Posted by 8bitpope on

It seems the Neo Geo is back. Gameinformer reports that SNK is bringing back a new officially licensed portable handheld with 20 Neo Geo games built in. The device will host a 2GB internal storage with an SD slot for additional memory and a 4.3 inch screen.

Controls include four face buttons, a d-pad, four shoulder buttons, a menu button, a start button, and buttons for volume and brightness. Ports include headphones, AV and an SD card slot. No pricing or release date has been announced.

The games included are the North American version with English text:

1.WORLD HEROES
2.ULTIMATE 11
3.TOP PLAYER’S GOLF
4.SENGOKU
5.NAM-1975
6.MUTATION NATION
7.LAST RESORT
8.KING OF MONSTERS
9.FRENZY
10.CYBER LIP
11.FATAL FURY SPECIAL
12.ART OF FIGHTING
13.SUPER SIDEKICKS
14.LEAGUE BOWLING
15.METAL SLUG
16.MAGICIAN LORD
17.BASEBALL STARS PROFESSIONAL
18.SAMURAI SHODOWN
19.KING OF FIGHTERS ’94
20.FATAL FURY

If you haven’t got the list of games already then this re-release will be ideal for those into classic portable gaming or if you’re willing to pay out extra to recall a few of those memories. If you don’t want my opinion, well you’re going to get it. I think it looks highly typical of many past devices. Maybe they’ll bring a few changes to the design but so far the images look tacky and way too classic. Maybe that’s the purpose of a classic portable device. Portable gaming for North America and Europe will see the PS Vita hits shelves in February and with that in mind I’m sure this gadget has a lot to live up to. No price has been reported yet and neither has a release date.

Dead Island DLC ‘Ryder White’ Announced Plus Release Date

Posted by 8bitpope on

Gameinformer reports that Deep Silver and Techland has announced a release date for incoming Dead Island DLC. The DLC is titled ‘Ryder White’ and will be hitting PSN January 31 and Xbox Live February 1. What to expect is a boastful several hours of single player story gameplay

The Ryder White DLC pack is a single-player, story-driven download that lets players see how things went down through the eyes of antagonist Ryder White.

“I always like to think of antagonist characters not as evil, but simply…misunderstood,” says Deep Silver’s Aubrey Norris. “Ryder White was obviously suffering from a massive case of beast mood in Dead Island, and I think it’s only fair we got to learn his side of the story.”

It’s good to see more and more games bringing single player DLC involving the telling of very different stories within the same world. Dead Island won’t disappoint with this piece and the pricing for several good hours of downloadable gameplay is reasonable too. $9.99 on the PSN and 800 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Marketplace.
