I met up with Thomas Singleton, producer for Grand Slam Tennis 2 to get his thoughts on making sports games more accessible, in-game commentary and using the PlayStation Move controller. The game, which is released next month, features all four Grand Slam tournaments, the ability to replay classic matches like Borg vs. McEnroe and a 10-year career mode. I asked [...]
Before the launch of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception I interviewed Justin Richmond, game director at Naughty Dog Studios where he talked about his reaction to seeing the video of Harrison Ford playing Uncharted 3 and the items the studio has hidden in the game. SPOILER WARNING: Even though Uncharted 2: Among Thieves came out in 2009, we appreciate that some [...]
Daniel Kaplan, business developer at Mojang has announced that the next update to Minecraft: Pocket Edition will not include crafting. To add survival mode and crafting to the game Mojag is having to make major changes to the game code and the UI as it was never in their original plan for the mobile versions. The next update will include: [...]
I recently posted about the Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track video that appeared on YouTube over the Christmas period which I think signalled the start of Sony’s advertising campaign for wipEout 2048 on the PS Vita. I asked our resident graphics expert who has worked in the videogames industry for 13 years to comment on the video. Expert [...]
Imagine a world where you can do what you want, when you want and get adored just for existing. As I covered in my hands-on preview at Gamescom 2011, Saints Row: The Third lets you live that fictional life while having fun in the most outrageous way possible. Amazingly Insane Your home for the majority of the game is the [...]
Microsoft have announced that the latest release in the classic flight simulator series, Microsoft Flight will be available as a free to play download. Taking place in the skies over Hawaii, you will be able to fly a variety of aircraft on pre-set missions, challenges or to find hidden aero-caches. You will of course be able to purchase other aircraft [...]
On JISTQuantum’s YouTube channel there is a single video entitled – Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track. This video shows two wipEout type ships racing around a small-scale track (Moa Therma from wipEout Pulse) that uses a magnetic field to keep them hovering above the surface. So Sony’s started the marketing campaign for wipEout 2048 then. Good job really [...]
The soundtrack to Sony Liverpool’s WipEout 2048 game has been revealed on the Japanese PS Vita website. It’s bad news for all those CoLD SToRAGE fans, like me, who were hoping for remixes of his iconic wipEout music which accounted for 8 of the 11 tracks in the first game. Anile – Change Of Direction (WipEout mix) Camo+Krooked – Breezeblock [...]
At last week’s Vita Rooms event the full build of wipEout 2048 was available to play. Not only did we record zone mode gameplay for the first time but we also captured a previously unannounced track on video. The new track is called Rockway Stadium and it joins Queen’s Mall, Empire Climb, Sol, Unity Square and Metro Park in the [...]
The Microsoft Flight team have announced that they are now accepting applications for the beta which kicks off in Jan 2012. You can apply for the beta via Microsoft Connect. You will need to accept the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) agreement before submitting your application. It’s all fairly standard stuff for an NDA – don’t record, talk or write about anything [...]
Sony Ericsson have announced that the Android version of FIFA 12 is now available to download for free. Yes, completely free, but for a limited time only, like the 4 other free EA mobile games. Until the 21st Feb 2012, the game will be exclusive to the Xperia PLAY. Other Android handset owners will have to wait until after this [...]
The London Gaming Con takes place for this first time this weekend. Although there are tons of gaming tournaments, exhibits and events planned the highlight for me will be hearing CoLD SToRAGE – aka Tim Wright – performing live. Tim has been given the 1:30pm -2:30pm slot on Saturday. London Gaming Con Event Details: Date: 3rd-4th Dec 2011 Time: 11am [...]
