The public beta has begun rolling out today as well.
Starhawk, the successor to 2007's Warhawk on the PlayStation 3, has now been given a release date. Players can get their hands on the new game on May 8, 2012. However, if you don't want to wait that long, you can at least whet your palette with the public beta, which begins today. The news was announced on the PlayStation Blog.
A multiplayer beta will also be coming sometime in the future.
Activision has Modern Warfare, EA has Battlefield and Ubisoft has Ghost Recon. With the former two enjoying their time in the sun it’s about time for Ghost Recon to join the battle. The original March release date for the next iteration of the Ghost Recon series, Future Soldier, was pushed back with no replacement date furnished, but now Ubisoft has provided us with a brand new date that’s not too far off the original.
Could the Online Pass be coming to handhelds in North America?
The PlayStation Vita was recently released in Japan with a North American and European launch coming this February. Since the Japanese launch, the internet has been abuzz with information regarding the hardware and software as it has been released in Japan. While most of the buzz pertains to information that was already well known, Destructoid discovered something not previously publicized about Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational – that the game requires an online pass to play online.
Infinity Ward adds some new content that won't cost you a dime.
There are a lot of people playing Modern Warfare 3 and with a large gaming community comes a large spring of creativity from which to draw. Since the game went live back in November, players have been building custom play modes in order to create more unique and interesting gaming experiences. Well it seems that Infinity Ward has been paying close attention, as today they are updating the Modern Warfare 3 playlists, modifying existing game modes and adding some entirely new ones that may be familiar to a few of you out there.
Users will have to reset to factory presets in order to use another account.
We originally reported that the Vita would be limited to a single PSN account. Then we were told that the accounts would be tied to memory cards and not the system itself, which would allow easy account swapping between systems. Now Sony is going back to their original story, telling us that the account is indeed attached to the Vita itself.
Seems rumors of the Vita's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
We reported earlier this week that the Vita would be limited to a single PSN account per system and would require a factory reset to swap to another account. Turns out that isn’t entirely accurate. Sony has stepped forward and clarified that the PSN accounts are bonded to the memory stick and not to the system itself.
The new DLC for Battlefield 3 is coming in December and a new clip showing off the new vehicles has been released. Buggies and Jets and Bulldozers, oh my!
This game craves brains because it clearly has none.
Dead Island is a game in the midst of an identity crisis. It’s not sure if it wants to be Dead Rising 2 with its customizable weapons and biting humor, Left 4 Dead with its multiplayer focused gameplay, or Borderlands with its RPG elements and zombies that bleed numbers. Dead Island wants to be all of these things and in trying to do so fails to do anything well, the result of which is an overly flawed experience that just months ago looked so promising.
The new patch includes new multiplayer maps, as well as other fixes.
Sony and Insomniac will be patching Resistance 3 in the following days, updating it to version 1.05. The patch brings not just bug fixes but also two new maps, Creek and The Granary. Creek will support 16 players, while The Granary will support just four.
Battlefield 3 escapes its single player experiment.
Is Jesus your co-pilot? I sure hope so, ‘cause you’re better off with a 2,000 year old carpenter at those helicopter controls than me. Despite my inability to steer the helicopters, I’m still having a blast in Battlefield 3’s multiplayer. The vestigial single player campaign aped from Call of Duty is a different story. But nobody’s buying this game for the single player, and they shouldn’t. Battlefield games mean multiplayer and this installment should make all couch commandos giddy.
