The next installment of Namco Bandai's tale of souls and swords hits Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2012.
Three years after the release of Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur V was officially announced by Namco Bandai last night. Due out for a 2012 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the next installation of the weapon-based fighting series will return in all of its violent and chesty glory.
This week brings release of WayForward's latest, alongside a WiiWare port of a beloved classic originally from BioWare.
While things have been slow as of late on the weekly Monday Nintendo Download, this week shakes things up, bringing two titles of interest on two different platforms.
Nate and Stanton talk Portal 2, Rock Band's top songs, PSN Security and Dragon Ball Z. Nate also mangles metaphors and analogies while Stanton has an Epiphany.
Nate and Stanton hold the fort down this week. First on the agenda is a conversation about Portal 2 and the 'Potato Sack'. Indie developers were given unprecedented full use of Valve IP that will hopefully set a standard for future projects across the industry.
Stay tuned for a special announcement about PixlBit, as well as your regularly scheduled content from the PixlTalk crew.
This week starts with a special site announcement delivered by Nick and Chessa, but is promptly followed by regular weekly discussion. Given the swirling rumors of the Wii successor, discussion of the upcoming system continued this week. What's now confirmed as Project Cafe is discussed in detail, as is the credibility of the various rumors that are floating around.
Images added to Nintendo's developer site also confirm the Project Cafe codename.
Today in Japan, via an investor memo attached to the fiscal earnings report, Nintendo confirmed a successor to the Wii. According to the memo, the system will be releasing in 2012, and will be shown in playable form at this year's E3. Though not announced in any official capacity, the codename, Project Cafe, has been given some credibility as well.
Advent Children: The Game (feat. Kefka)
Dissidia 012, as you probably already know, is an RPG/fighting hybrid which pits characters from various Final Fantasy titles against each other. The deities Cosmos and Chaos have summoned all the greatest heroes and villains from the series to fight as their own personal armies, and the characters’ memories have been erased, so they don’t remember anything about their origins. It’s kind of depressing, actually.
Oh, the negativity...
Say everyone, do you want to have a bit of negativity on your visit here to PixlBit? Well you are in luck! Today, I am going to talk to you about a little something I like to call “Ass Talking”. “Ass Talking” is basically read as “talking out of your ass,” which also means “spewing shit out of your mouth.” Are you finding it hard to take me seriously when I talk about ass and shit and ass shit talking for an entire paragraph? Of course you are, because there is a point I’m trying to get across.
Black Ops beat out Modern Warfare 2 day one sales. Set to surpass Modern Warfare 2's five day sales record.
Many claimed it couldn't be done by a non-Modern Warfare title, but the new Call of Duty: Black Ops has outperformed last years Modern Warfare 2 in day one sales by nearly a million copies. Last year Modern Warfare sold 4.7 million, while yesterday, Black Ops managed to sell an impressive 5.6 million copies. This was an estimated sell through rate of $360 million - a $50 million difference above what Modern Warfare 2 pulled in before.
Fans of old-school Capcom games will be delighted.
With a rough target of "this Winter," Capcom has announced it will be bringing six arcade titles to North America and Europe.
Four Spider-Men are better than one.
It seems that each and every year a new Spider-Man game is released, and every year that Spider-Man game seems to be a disappointment. My last exposure to a Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2, which featured open-world exploration and tasks. The game controlled well and was moderately enjoyable, but the structure was a bit too loose, causing the game to eventually become tedious and boring. Shattered Dimensions, the latest Spider-Man game, is quite the opposite. For the first time ever, the essence of Spider-Man has truly been captured through the game's characters, levels, presentation, and solid gameplay.
