Sitting in for Nick and Chessa in this week's PixlTalk is the one and only Jon "JD" Lewis.
It has been quite an uneventful week, but we're still playing video games. JD, Jason, and Joaquim talk about their experiences with what they're currently playing. We then introduce a new segment which rumors say is called "Rumor Mongering," and then head on to discuss the iOS release of "The World Ends with You", and end the podcast with a quick chat on the supposed Wii U release date leak by PDP.
A leaked screenshot adds fuel to the fire.
Despite the quick rise of the Prince of Persia series after the initial release of The Sands of Time, it has remained dormant for the past few years. 2010 was the last time anyone heard from Ubisoft on the middle-eastern series with the release of the Forgotten Sands, but it seems that there might be something in store for the “almost forgotten” franchise.
No need to wait on Portal 3 to get your first-person puzzle-solving fix.
When Portal hit the market, it took gamers by storm. Never before had the world experienced such a game – the unique portal mechanic was tied to a first person perspective, complex puzzles, and a compelling story and antagonist. Quantum Conundrum, the latest work of Valve alum, Kim Swift, captures at least part of Portal’s essence, but comes up short in the character and story department. First person puzzle solving takes the center stage and the Inter-dimensional Shift Device (IDS) proves to be an interesting tool/concept to drive the complex dimension-shifting puzzles; however, the lack of an overarching concept and vision disallows Quantum Conundrum from reaching the cult stature of its influencing material. Despite this, the interesting mechanics and the well constructed “test chambers” make for a fantastic game that shouldn’t be missed.
Will Nintendo already iterate on its latest handheld?
Nikkei is reporting that Nintendo may be ready to unveil its first 3DS redesign tomorrow. According to the rumor, the new version of the 3DS will have a 4.3 inch screen compared to the current version’s 3.5 inch screen. That larger dimension will put the revision on the same scale as the DSi XL from Nintendo’s last generation of handhelds.
A collection compiling Hitman 2, 3 and Blood Money may be in the works.
A Hitman HD Collection consisting of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman 3: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money has appeared on 16 Games, an Italian retail site. So far the listing only shows a PlayStation 3 version, will cost €30, or $37, and has a release date of October 15, 2012.
Rabbids Rumble will have you collecting over 100 of the wacky critters.
Rayman may have recaptured a bit of the limelight on his own with the critically acclaimed Rayman Origins but Ubisoft hasn't forgotten about those rambunctious Rabbids. The publisher announced today Rabbids Rumble, a title coming exclusively to the Nintendo 3DS this November.
Time will be an essential gameplay element in Quantum Conundrum.
John de Lancie tells us his experience playing the part of Progessor Fitz Quadwrangle for Quantum Conundrum.
