Is it Possible To Care About The Last Guardian After a 6 Yr Absence?

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Rumors abound about the possibility of The Last Guardian making an appearance at Sony’s upcoming E3 press conference and all I have to ask is: Does anyone really care about this title anymore?  Even if Sony were to re-reveal the long dormant game can any showing live to the expectations that longtime fans have built up throughout all of the vaporware memes and denials of cancellations?Read More

Rumor: Alien Isolation In Development At Creative Assembly

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

The long running Aliens franchise is set to return to our living rooms next year in the form of a brand new video game being developed by the studio behind Total War, Creative Assembly. Titled Alien: Isolation, this new first person shooter has  reportedly been in development for some time for both current gen (PS3 / Xbox 360) & next-gen (PC / PS4/ Xbox One) platforms  and will hopefully not end up in a similar PR nightmare that Aliens: Colonial Marines became during its launch this past spring.Read More

Was There A League of Legends Card Game In The Works?

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

League Of Legends Logo 2015

Over the weekend a twitter account belonging to Riot Game’ president and co-founder Mark Merrill appears to have been compromised. A hacker using the handle ‘Jason’ took control of Mr.Merrill’s account on Saturday and posted several images and details for a cancelled &unannounced League of Legends trading card game called ‘League of Legends Supremacy’.

Supposedly the game had been completed by the folks over at Riot Games but for unknown reasons they decided to scrap the project before announcing it. Jason had threatened to release a 200MB zip file containing several images from the project but stopped short of doing so. Instead he provided twitter users with copies of the in-game text from the project, several templates and a single image of a supposed login screen.

It is unknown if Jason actually possessed a working version of League of Legends: Supremacy or if he was simply in possession of leaked screenshots. After the Merrill regained control of his account he tweeted that Riot Games works on ‘a variety of ideas… that may never see the light of day.”

Is Call of Duty: Ghosts Activision’s Next Big Game?

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Over the weekend the Spring Equinox happened, and just like the seasons change, the next Call of Duty‘s reveal should only be a few short weeks away. Supposed details surrounding the game’s plot, weapons and mechanics are supposedly starting to leak out. Considering the source, a random YouTube user, take all of what is coming with a grain of salt, but keep in mind that Modern Warfare 3 had its own huge leak two years ago that proved accurate.Read More

Is the Next Xbox Anti-Consumer?

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Joshua Rust

It’s not often that I like to express myself on rumors; with that being said, this one has floated around for a while: the elimination of used games. Now before you go grabbing your pitchforks and go on a witch hunt (keep them at arms reach though), this has not been confirmed by either Sony or Microsoft that it’s true.Read More

Rumor Has It The Next Xbox Will Have Always On DRM

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Rumor has it that Microsoft will require a constant connection in order to use their next generation gaming console. Internet connections are almost ubiquitous now-a-days, as we live in an age where you can browse your favorite websites and play online multiplayer games at broadband speed through your phone. If these rumors are accurate then Microsoft will be taking an aggressive stance against not only piracy, but second hand games sales with the constant connection requirement in the Xbox Durango.

Edge Online brings us these latest tidbits about Redmond’s yet unannounced console. Some of this stuff we’ already knew or assumed – like the existence of a Blu-Ray drive in the console or the fact that the system will be a multi-core processor clocked at 1.6GHZ, designed by AMD. Also as speculated, the console will ship with a second generation Kinect Sensor. With rival Sony poised to fire the first shot in the next-generation race, tech specs and reports seem to be leaking from both companies at a brisk pace.Read More

Grand Theft Auto V To Be Released On March 26th?

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Grand Theft Auto V has been on our most wanted list for the last few months, ever since RockStar Games dropped the brand new trailer and plot details we’ve wanted to know when we would have it in our hands.

According to a recently updated Amazon page the game could be released on March 26th.The listing was originally spotted by the folks over at Collider. It is important to note that until Rockstar announces an official date for GTAV this should be considered rumor. I wouldn’t book off an end of March holiday just yet.

Sorry Xbox 360 Owners, Still No Metal Gear Solid 4 For You!

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

An Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 has been the butt of a joke in the PS3 community for some time. It went so far as to have users create image macros of a 20 disc Xbox 360 box art mock up for the game. So that when we learned that a New Zealand retail outlet listed an Xbox version of the game we were a little skeptica

As it turns out, the image is just the PS3 artwork for the 25th anniversary edition of the game that was recently released with an Xbox 360 banner plastered on top. A konami rep told another outlet the game is not planned for the Xbox360 and will remain a PS3 exclusive. Considering each chapter in the five chapter epic takes up 3,500MB each in addition to a 25GB Blu Ray you’d be looking at five discs or more to contain the game. Then again, games like Lost Odyssey are four discs and this year’s Halo 4 required an 8GB install for some features. So there is a precident for larger games.

All of this doesn’t mean that Xbox 360 owners are without Metal Gear Solid love in the near future. Both Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros and Metal Gear Solid: Risingare scheduled for 2013 on PS3/Xbox 360. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was released for the Xbox 360 last year that included MGS2, Peace Walker and MGS 3.

Pachter: Xbox 720 Should Launch Between Oct ’13 and May ’14

Posted on November 11, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Depending on who you talk to industry analyst Michael Pachter is someone who either a wise sage who keeps his eye on the business side of gaming or someone who talks out his ass when it comes to future events.  With the year coming to a close GameTrailers TV took a swing at guessing the future of Microsoft in 2013.

After a brief review of the year in everything Xbox 360 host Geoff Keighley posted the question of the next Xbox to Pachter. In response he speculated that the system will be announced either before or around E3 and will be available either in the fall of 2013 or late winter of 2014. He also believes that the system should include a TV Tuner that allows owners access to Comcast/HBO/Verizon and other cable subscriptions they may subscribe too.

Do you think any of this is accurate? For perspective’s sake Microsoft announced and launched the Xbox 360 within 6 months (announced in May ’05 and launched in November ’05). Check out the video below:

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next mobile entry in the Assassins Creed franchise may have been revealed in the latest Game Informer if information posted to popular gaming forum NEOGAF is correct. A member of the NEOGAF community claims to have got their hands on issue of the latest GI which features a preview for Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation for PlayStation Vita.

Supposedly the game will take place alongside Assassins Creed III and will star a young female protagonist named Aveline as she explores New Orleans. Connor from the console version of assassin’s Creed three is also said to make an appearance in Liberation. The title of the game suggests that the slave trade will play a role in the game’s plot and according to the post on NEOGAF Aveline’s mentor maybe an escaped slave.

Hopefully the rumors surrounding Liberation end up being true. We will find out more during either Ubisoft’s or Sony’s press comments on Monday.
