The Playstation Network’s latest update include a download of the Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo. The file size is just under 1GB.
The demo is for the online multiplayer feature, there is no story mode play. After playing Mordern Warfare 2 for the last couple of months, BF:BC2 feels a bit clunky. I’m assuming they will be tweaking the game for its launch March 2nd.
Battlefield 1943 is becoming one of the most downloaded games for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. If you have been a fan of the PC version of the last couple of Battlefield series games, don’t expect Battlefield 1943 to be the same game.
Take-Two Interactive is teaming up with Digital Extremes to bring multiplayer to BioShock 2. “The fans asked for a multiplayer experience and we answered,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “With Digital Extremes delivering a multiplayer experience for BioShock 2 that features all of the things that make BioShock unique, we’re holding ourselves to a high standard so that we can deliver the depth and variety that fans of the BioShock universe demand.”
Fallout New Vegas was announced today during a Bethesda press conference in London. Pete Hines, a member of Bethesda, released the information, saying the game is expected sometime next year for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Hines said the game will not be a sequel of Fallout 3, it will simply be set in another part of the Fallout universe, mos likely Vegas by the name of it.
The original BioShock won game of the year, and became a big hit despite its SecuROM usage. Its ratings from the beginning were sky high by all the major gaming reviewers. BioShock 2 will take place 10 years after the original, and you will play as the first Big Daddy in Rapture.
Let’s hope the game doesn’t come bundled with intrusive DRM like the last time. I never bought the original because of SecuROM, and might consider buying the second if it doesn’t have the DRM.
Well, there is a reason Grand Theft Auto IV is rated M for mature. The latest installment of GTAIV is The Lost and Damned, an exclusive add-on for the Xbox 360 version. Those that have a chance to play the game have discovered quite a surprise in one of the video sequences. One of the characters is shown strutting around fully naked. You may think they aren’t actually going to show anything, but in the end of the scene the guy shows his package and all.
The PC version of Gears of War has a very big problem at the moment. The DRM used to protect the game has a certificate that expired on January 28, 2009. This means the game has been shut off and can no longer be played even after uninstalling and installing the game.
The latest Grand Theft Auto rumor was one involving GTA V: Tokyo. An entirely new GTA game thought to be releasing the end of 2009. The rumor originated from the usually reliable Game Informer magazine, Issue 190.
Game Informer stated, “We’re not talking about new DLC or a collection of previously available DLC, we’re talking about a full retail game,” and gave a thoughtful title, “Tokyo”, sort of like GTAIII spin-offs.
Unfortunately, it is only a rumor. A Rockstar spokesperson told Kotaku that there is no Grand Theft Auto V planned for the year 2009. That really sucks, I hate waiting years for my favorite games to release. That is just how it is though.
Global President of 2K, Christoph Hartmann, told MCV in an interview that there may be up to five sequels to Bioshock. The original was released back in 2007, and later went on to be a popular game despite bundled DRM protection.
Hartmann told MCV that gamers won’t have to wait several years for each sequel to be released, bringing Duke Nukem to mind. Hartmann also expressed that the company would not cash in on the franchise, leaving it with bad sequels.
