TERA Online Launches


Posted on May 1, 2012 by Kirk Williford

TERA Online is now available for purchase, according to developers En Masse Entertainment and distributor Atari.

TERA is an action-based MMORPG that was developed using Epic Game’s Unreal Engine 3. In the game, players can assume the role one of eight different classes across seven different races, ranging from the strong Baraka to the elegant High Elf. The game takes place in Arborea and features all of which you’d come to expect from an MMO — crafting, PvP, questing and dungeons, but also brings many new elements to the genre. The game is set up to be played entirely with a controller if the player chooses, and a more dynamic combat system promises more real-time flavored fights against players and giant monsters alike. Unlike most MMOs where you tab target, in TERA, you use your crosshair to aim spells and attacks against opponents, bringing an entirely new feel to the genre.

TERA Online is available in stores starting today, and retails for $49.99 USD. There is a monthly fee to access the game’s servers. You can check out the game’s launch trailer after the jump.Read More

Assassins Creed 3 More Desmond-Centric Than Ever


Posted on April 5, 2012 by Kirk Williford

Assassins Creed 3 Lead Writer Matt Turner recently told CVG that the upcoming Ubisoft title will feature more Desmond than previous Assassins Creed installations.

“All I can say about Desmond’s story is you’re going to experience more Desmond than you’ve ever had before,” Turner said. “We’re spending more time on the present than we have in past games.”

Ubisoft has been quiet on the status of Desmond in AC3, mainly focusing on the reveal of the Revolutionary War protagonist Connor Kenway. Turner promised that in addition to more Desmond sequences, there will be more present-day events and connections compared to other AC games.

Assassin’s Creed 3 is scheduled to launch on October 30th, 2012 — stay tuned to Broken Joysticks as we’ll bring you more on the game as it’s announced.
