Check out this trailer for FIFA Soccer 12 promoting the Scarf Campaign.
FIFA Soccer 12 brings to the pitch a new game-changing Player Impact Engine, which is a physics engine built to deliver real-world physicality in every interaction on the pitch. The Player Impact Engine monitors contact between players in real time, analyzing the force of the collision and the impact on the body to detect real injuries, which will create a deeper and more challenging career mode.
There’s more engaging gameplay due to its revolutionary innovations inspired by the real world of soccer. You will have all-new precision dribbling, which delivers a higher fidelity of touch on the ball for attacking players.
In addition, tactical defending will fundamentally change the approach to defending by placing equal importance on tackling, intercepting passes, and position. Also, CPU players have been infused with pro player intelligence, which provides the next generation of player intelligence and performance to give you the challenge of a lifetime.
The announcement of the distant Clancy-fever-dream that is Rainbow Six: (Angry) Patriots brought back memories of playing the first game in the series, or at least I’m going to pretend it did for the purpose of what I say next. Careful planning, exchanging tactical tips with school chums, watching my elite squad fail to navigate the complex architectural geometry of a door. The memories quite literally did not come flooding back. But when I saw the ‘Vision Video’ for the new game, which serves as a warning of a dire future that can hopefully be averted, I did find myself retreating into memories of better times.
Meet Heavy Rainbow Six: Queasy Terrorism Emotivator.
French news networks are reporting that two masked men stole some 6,000 copies of Activision’s upcoming first-person shooter from a delivery truck south of Paris.
Activision has already suffered a setback this week concerning the upcoming release of the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with sealed copies of the game surfacing on a number of online auctions two days before launch.
Now, it appears two individuals in France also wanted to get their hands on an early copy of the first-person shooter. French news networks are reporting that two masked men armed with tear gas and knives hijacked a truck near Paris and fled with its cargo, which contained around 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3.
If someone from France offers you a copy of MW3, don’t say yes!…Give it to me and i’ll keep it safe
According to a report from TF1 news channel, and as translated by GameSpot, two men crashed into a van transporting a cargo of boxed video game copies near Cr’teil, 10 kilometres south-east of Paris, around 8am yesterday morning. When the van’s driver and occupants left the vehicle after the crash, two masked men used tear-gas and drove away in the van, taking the cargo with them.
According to a Agence France Presse (AFP) report, the van’s cargo contained 400,000 Euros of merchandise, all copies of Modern Warfare 3. The news report estimates the number of copies at around 6,000.
Last week, Infinity Ward representative Robert Bowling spoke for the Modern Warfare 3 developer on Twitter, saying, “No plans to ban legit fans, but try to wait ’til midnight launch on Tuesday to play #MW3.”
One of those games that really captured RPS’s attention during its development, InMomentum, is now out. It’s up on Steam for a very decent £5.59 – a price that includes all future DLC by the way. Project lead, Norbert Varga, explained to us, “We don’t sell DLC. That’s not how we roll.”
You can see the game’s launch trailer below.
Despite being out, there’s more to come. Soon Digital Arrow plan to add a level editor, dedicated server support, more options for graphics and key mapping, and they say more game modes. So that’s all good then.
We shall have a review of the game up in the near future. Gosh, we hope it’s as good as it had the potential to be.
With its numerous game modes and customization options, there’s a lot to do in Dungeon Defenders. Too bad its fundamentals don’t measure up.
Orcs are crazy. All they ever want to do is smash things and terrorize villagers. Thankfully, brave heroes will always be there to help with a carefully calculated combination of turrets and traps.
If you played such games as Orcs Must Die! or Trenched, then you’re already familiar with the mechanics for Dungeon Defenders.
The goal is to protect one or more structures, called cores, from increasingly difficult waves of goblins, orcs, and other high-fantasy fiends. You do this using your character’s unique buildings and abilities, all of which you can upgrade and customize.
Jolly voxel-based isometric shooter Voxatron is now available, in its alpha form, as part of an Indie Humble deal. Not a bundle, just the offering of this one game, which is debuting today, at a price of your choosing. After this, it will be available for $15. I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks and reckon it’s worth every cent of that pricetag, but if you want it cheaper, now’s your chance. The graphics are lovely, as you can see in the new trailer below, but it’s the completely destructible world that most often made me want to applaud with delight, either dramatically when pillars collapsed or in the smaller detail of walls chipping away during fights. Imaginative and fun, this is a fine deal.
Bugbear Entertainment’s destruction-focused take on Namco Bandai racer franchise crashes onto Xbox 360, PS3, and PC early next year.
Namco Bandai has been overhauling its Ridge Racer franchise, and the results are almost ready for a road test. The publisher today announced that Ridge Racer Unbounded has been given a North American launch date of March 6, 2012.
Developed by Bugbear Entertainment, Unbounded takes the circuit-racing franchise onto city streets with a new emphasis on havoc and destruction. Players will be able to choose how they race through cities, both in designing the city layouts and opting to take shortcuts through storefronts when expedient.
Bugbear’s previous work includes the FlatOut series of demolition derby racers for Empire Interactive, which featured minigames requiring the player to crash such that the car’s driver would be ejected through the front windshield and into targets, such as a set of giant bowling pins. The studio also developed the PSP edition of Sega Rally Revo in 2007.
Unbounded will be the first installment in the Ridge Racer series to appear on the PC, and the first to hit consoles since the 2006 release of Ridge Racer 7, a PS3 launch title. However, the series hasn’t been completely dormant in the meantime. It debuted on the iPhone in 2009 with Ridge Racer Accelerated, and Ridge Racer 3DS launched alongside Nintendo’s newest handheld in March.
Saints Row the third now officially has EVERYTHING in it. Everything you expect from a video game, everything you couldn’t reasonably hope for and Burt Goddamn Reynolds.
It’s here and the rumour mill is already grinding away at full speed. Suggestions that Tommy Vercetti is the main character and San Andreas is the setting. Rumours also abound that this is only the story of one of four playable characters and 3 more trailers are to be released. Fingers crossed for more trailers, eh?
