Assassin’s Creed Revelation won’t be available until 15th of November, but if the awesome cinematic trailer isn’t enough to tame you down, here’s two new videos posted by Ubisoft at their Facebook fanpage. The walkthrough videos show the singleplayer and multiplayer of Revelation, which seemed quite impressive. The new hook blade is also demoed in the singleplayer campaign walkthrough as Ezio’s hidden blade was destroyed when he arrives in Masyaf, and well it’s a good improvise since Leonardo isn’t around. Click after the jump to watch the two videos.
Gaming on the mobile tablet platform has gained momentum these two years. While we get plenty of childish games like Angry Birds with very simple 2D graphics, there are a few titles out there that are actually quite impressive with their 3D games. Don’t believe? Then check out the video above and below.
Madfinger has demonstrated their Shadowgun game using an Acer Iconia Tab A500 powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 2 and Android Honeycomb. Look at those graphics, that’s something very awesome and PC-like 3D graphic effects there!
Available on both the Tegra Zone app and Android Market, Shadowgun promises to bring console-quality graphics and performance to mobile platforms — presumably with the extra geometric detail and high-res textures we’ve seen in other Tegra 2-tailored games. Madfinger is also developing a version for devices powered by NVIDIA’s forthcoming quad-core processor, alluringly known as Project Kal-El. iOS version is also said to be on the way, so hold your horses, iFags!
Finally, good news for us in Asia. Sony has announced that it will restore its gaming network across the continent of Asia starting tomorrow, more than a month after its massive gaming network got invaded by unknown parties that ‘possibly’ stolen quite a number of critical customer information.
Tomorrow we will see Sony flipping the switch back once again in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and even Japan, which had been harbouring serious reservations about the network’s security and having its security being criticized by its government. Previously the Japanese government halted Sony’s attempt to flip back the switch in its own country due to lack of confidence, so perhaps Sony has managed to talk them into the situation, though Sony did not comment on this.
Gamers in South Korea and Hong Kong, meanwhile, will have to wait a little longer before returning to normalcy, though Sony is hoping to completely resolve the issue by the end of the month, which is next week.
The company certainly seems eager to put this saga to bed, and for understandable reasons. The incident has already cost Sony an estimated $171 million in revenue — not to mention the untold numbers of suddenly wary consumers. Microsoft should be seeing a spike in its Xbox Live member signups this quarter.
Minecraft has been gaining momentum lately and becoming quite popular, but not as popular as the raging birdies which are available in almost any platform. But if you want to be the first among your peer to look cool and playing Minecraft, then you’ll have to get yourself a Sony Ericson Xperia Play.
The block-building game where cubed avatars hide from creepers and create virtual CPUs will land on the so-called PlayStation Phone before coming to other Android devices and iOS later this year.
The Play version will have customized controls that take advantage of the gamepad and button layout found on the Sony Ericsson handheld (too bad other Android phones, no point hacking), though when exactly it will launch or how much it will cost is still unknown.
There are very little details about Minecraft invading the mobile platform, but rest assure more information will be made known, as the developer Mojang will be holding an event at E3 to announce this.
Are you out for some mid-range graphic card shopping to replace your aging GeForce card? If you are, then I seriously recommend you to consider this card. To celebrate the upcoming release of Duke Nukem Forever video game (you know, the one that took 14 years to develop), EVGA has announced a special edition graphics card bundle called the GeForce GTX 560 – Duke’s Fully Loaded Package.
Yes, the package consists of a Duke Nukem-themed Geforce GTX 560 1GB graphics card, a copy of Duke Nukem Forever, a custom mousepad, a belt buckle and an artbook. The GeForce GTX 560 – Duke’s Fully Loaded Package is now available for pre-order for $244.99, which is just slightly more than the MSRP of the vanilla card, which is totally a bargain for me, considering you’re getting the ‘most kickass’ game of the decade.
Assassin’s Creed Revelation will have new environment with new faces for us to see and to know. We’ll still be playing the role of Ezio, but things will be different from Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood, where most of the characters are repeated. This time Ezio is leaving home and chasing his “dream” and, in time, question things like the truth and meaning of life.
There will be fewer familiar faces this time around. Instead, Ezio’s adventures in Constantinople introduce a new cast of compelling characters, many of whom are based on real-life historical figures.
We’ve been playing Ezio for two games now, watching as he passed through birth, boyhood, and into maturity before our eyes. Boy he sure has grown up mature and a lady killer. But speaking of killer, Ezio’s path through life was governed by the desire for vengeance. Much of his family was killed. Later, his beloved Uncle Mario was brought down by the Borgias.
Until now, Ezio’s actions have been a response to these terrible crimes, and it’s all about killing. So what now, after all those are behind him? In Revelations, we see Ezio for the first time beginning to question his role in life. Caterina Sforza no longer is around, and our hero now has a new desire to have a family of his own.
By 1511, when Revelations is set, Ezio is seeking purpose and direction, particularly in his role at the head of the Assassin’s Order. He looks to his own ancestor to help find the answers – a man named Altaïr. Read more…
Remember Ubisoft having their new Ubisoft Motion Picture arm established just weeks ago? Looks like they’ve been super busy ever since the establishment, and now a new teaser trailer for the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Revelation has been released for E3, which is just around the corner.
So what do we have here? Well now the game looks part Hollywood movie part game, which might be a good and bad thing. We get to see more fancy stories and cut scenes, but then at times it really spoils the fun of the game, but I’m not complaining much.
Also, it seemed that Ezio was… captured during his ‘voyage’ to the ‘truth’, and his hidden blade was destroyed. A destroyed hidden blade, with no Leonardo Da Vinci (or is he here?) to amend the damage, what would happen to our now-matured hero?
The Assassin’s Creed series has been very awesome due to its unique play style that lets you roam around freely and yet attached with a very catchy and cheesy storyline. Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood has been about Ezio Auditore, but little is known about Altair, the man in the original game. Revelation will be the important puzzle to link things together.
Game Informer has a list full of information regarding the upcoming game from Ubisoft, and today we will be looking through them while listening to Rebecca Black’s hippy song. Read more…
Have you played DiRT 3? Because it’s out now. If not, then here’s a new video that hopefully will be able to tick your inner racing instinct. “Racing never stops” is the subtitle of the Dirt 3 launch trailer, which suggests a bold new take on racing in which there are no finish lines, only an eternity of overtaking. In reality, the new video celebrates the launch of Codemaster’s highly anticipated new racer with plenty of exciting footage of impossibly slick super-cars sliding around icy courses.
Previously Blizzard mentioned that players will be able to customize all 20 of their character’s skills in Diablo III by applying one of five different colour Runestones to each of their own specific ability. But how does that work out? Well, today Blizzard is going to show you, at least abit, through five new examples of skills fully customized.
There are five runestone colors–crimson, indigo, obsidian, golden, and alabaster–which will alter skills uniquely. The different colors will generally follow a singular theme, such as crimson Runestones increasing damage dealt, and golden Runestones reducing the cooldown or cost of the skill. Well, you get the drills.
