Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be released on the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, PlayStation 4 and other next-gen consoles. Current-gen versions of the game will be available on October 29th in North America and November 1st in Europe.
Capcom has announced a release date of January 23 2014 for the Sengoku Basara 4, and to celebrate, they released a new trailer letting the game's characters get some screen time, showing off their allegiances or plans.
From Takeda Shingen to Date Masamune and every faction’s various retainers and allies in between, it's a video full of manly cutaways, proclamations and moments full of the kind of angst and yelling that Sengoku Basara fans love.
The new area is the Palace Depths, dark ruins littered with rare ingredients and powerful monsters. In the deepest underground chamber lies the King of the Ancient Beasts, a monster more powerful than any opponent you have faced before.
You will also be able to add two supporting characters to your party: the young shop owner Katla Larchika and the elite inspector Micie Sun Mussenburg. Micie is skilled with the rapier, whereas Katlas can apparently shoot fireworks. You can buy both characters for 500 yen.
Stando alle dichiarazioni di Jeff Hensaw rilasciate all’Official Xbox Magazine, Microsoft starebbe sviluppando una tecnologia cloud che permetterebbe ad Xbox One di avere performance equivalenti a tre console che lavorano assieme.
“Ogni Xbox One in commercio avrà a disposizione, grazie ad un notevole servizio cloud, la potenza di calcolo e di archiviazione equivalenti a tre console messe assieme. Grazie a tutto ciò gli sviluppatori potranno sfruttare la console tre volte tanto, dando ai giocatori un’esperienza migliore ed espandibile. Il tutto avviene, ovviamente, al di fuori dell’infrastruttura fisica della console, senza necessità di sfruttare l’archiviazione interna”.
Una dichiarazione di una certa levatura, che non mancherà di sollevare scetticismo in più di un giocatore. Riuscirà Microsoft a dimostrarla all’atto pratico?
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was allegedly going to have a stage that was a mash-up of Journey and Gravity Rush. Ky Bui, a designer that worked on the game, shared images of the stage via his website before they were discovered by PlayStation Euphoria and subsequently taken down.
Despite the leaked images, in a statement, Sony have confirmed that they have no plans for PlayStation All-Stars downloadable content. They did, however, mention that at one point, Dart was being developed as a playable character who ultimately didn’t make it into the game.

Siamo entrati a tutta velocità nel mese di Agosto, periodo in cui una terribile invasione aliena distruggerà gli equilibri della nostra società e del genere umano. E invece no: per questo basta il caldo che imperversa sulla nostra penisola…
In The Bureau: XCOM Declassified quanto appena narrato è invece realtà: gli sviluppatori hanno ben pensato di svelare i retroscena di questo interessante titolo in un breve video-diario che qui vi presentiamo.
Buona visione!
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified in un diario degli sviluppatori , 5.0 out of 5 based on 2 ratingsBefore I played DriveClub, a representative from Evolution Studios made it clear that they they're not trying to make another Gran Turismo. Sony already has a driving simulation game series, so DriveClub was designed from the ground up to be a different kind of racing game.
DriveClub starts by taking your picture with the PlayStation Eye. The photo becomes part of your license and photos appear above ghost cars kind of like Mario Kart Arcade GP or Ridge Racer 3D. While I was driving a McLaren around the track challenges popped up like seeing how far I could drift and what top speed I could get up to along a certain length of track.
Many of the challenges in the demo were geared towards stylish driving rather than getting to the finish line first. These challenges were preset for the E3 demo, but DriveClub will adjust the kind of challenges and skill level when the game comes out.
You can play DriveClub using either motion controls or the analog stick and buttons. I tried both out and at least for me DriveClub is easier with traditional controls. Motion controls turn the DualShock 4 into an incredibly sensitive steering wheel. Tilting the controller just a tiny bit makes the car turn. The rep from Evolution Studios says they are still fine tuning the motion controls for DriveClub.
DriveClub is slated for release alongside the PlayStation 4's launch.
Diablo III was announced for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 at Sony’s PS4 press conference a few months ago, but the game is also headed to the Xbox 360, Blizzard revealed this morning.
The console version of Diablo III will include all of the updates released for the PC version, and will cost $60. It will also support both local and online co-op play.
The game will be available on September 3rd for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the U.S., Canada, Spanish-speaking Latin America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. A PlayStation 4 release date has not been announced yet.
Blizzard say that release details regarding retail availability in Brazil, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, will be announced at a later date.
Tales of Destiny was originally released for PsOne and then Namco Bandai remade it for PlayStation 2. Stan Aileron's adventure is moving to new hardware… kind of. Kita Denshi is using Tales of Destiny as a base for a pachislot machine.

This isn't the first RPG turned slot machine we've seen. Other companies made Shadow Hearts and Suikoden pachislot machines. Pachislot machines based on video games reuse artwork from the source material and usually play cutscenes when you match three reels.

Assassin's Creed III will be released as a PlayStation Plus title for PS3 in Europe.
Sony released their financials today, providing sales figures of their videogame hardware. Combined, the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 sold 16.5 million units during the company’s fiscal year ended March 31st, 2013.
Sony forecast that they would sell 16 million units of the two devices, meaning that they’ve exceeded their goal slightly.
Meanwhile, the PSP and PlayStation Vita combined sold 7 million units during the fiscal year, meeting Sony’s revised goals for those devices as well. Sony revised their PSP/Vita forecast thrice, down from the initial 16 million to 7 million.
However, for the fiscal year ahead, Sony estimate they will sell a mere 5 million units of Vita and PSP combined, worldwide, by March 2014. Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 is expected to sell 10 million units during the same period. Sony did not provide a forecast for the PlayStation 4.
Grand Theft Auto V is reportedly coming to PC this fall, according to Nvidia’s senior director of Investor Relations, Chris Evenden.
In an earnings call transcribed by Seeking Alpha (via: Polygon), Evenden discussed ongoing changes in the PC market, that are being affected by PC gamers. Evenden went on to explain that PC gamers are preparing their systems for upcoming titles slated for this fall, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin’s Creed IV.
Evenden’s statement has credibility behind it as Nvidia are working with Ubisoft on optimizing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag for Nvidia hardware. In the past, the company has also worked in partnership with Activision on the Call of Duty series. Nvidia have not, however, announced any such partnership with GTA developer Rockstar yet.
On the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Grand Theft Auto V will launch September 15th.

In this morning’s Monster Hunter 4 Direct presentation, Nintendo and Capcom shared the latest details on what’s likely to be the last Monster Hunter 4-themed Nintendo Direct prior to the game’s release in less than a week. The live stream started with a look at a couple Felynes, fully decked out in Mario and Luigi gear.
Capcom and Nintendo were brainstorming on a way to throw in Mario and Luigi into the world of Monster Hunter, and decided that it would be best to include them as Felyne costumes. Players will be able to acquire the Mario Brothers costumes at 7-11 stores across Japan.
Additionally, Capcom also showed a Congalala growing after eating what appeared to be a Super Mushroom.
Monster Hunter 4 will be coming out on September 14 for Nintendo 3DS.
