Saturday Crapshoot: Private Eye

Every week, Richard Cobbett rolls the dice to bring you an obscure slice of gaming history, from lost gems to weapons grade atrocities. This week, who’s in the mood for something… noirishing?

The inevitable sound of smoky jazz echoes down the dark Los Angeles street. Somewhere, a man falls to the ground with an ice-pick in his neck. A damsel puts the finishing touches to her look of mock distress. A crucial clue is picked up off the floor and torn up by a genre-savvy plotter. And in his dark, cramped office, Philip Marlowe waits to be told the lie that’ll pull him into the middle of it all.

Yep. It’s time to head back to the golden age of detectives and take a look at a game that – while no classic by any stretch – deserves better than to languish in its current obscurity.

The Elder Strolls, Part 8: A Mammoth Decision

In the last entry, Nordrick was faced with a question we’ve all struggled with at one point in our lives: “Should I marry a filthy homeless man?” After a great amount of heated internal debate, hours upon hours of soul-searching, and the thoughtful splitting of many cords of wood, I have finally reached a decision. I’m not going to marry Angrenor Once-Honored.

It all boils down to this: deep inside his thick, ugly head, Nordrick has a dream: a place to call home. Angrenor Once-Honored can give me a lot: companionship, happiness, comfort, a variety of social diseases brought on by unprotected hobosex in an unsanitary public thoroughfare… but he can’t give me a home. And so, I have to turn my back on the one man to ever love me. I’m off to Whiterun.

Before I leave, though, I feel like I should try to do something for poor Angrenor, who walks endlessly through the frigid, snowy streets of Windhelm without a penny to his name or a pair of sleeves to his, uh, arms. I buy some fine clothes and boots at the general store, and drop them in his path, hoping he’ll pick them up. He sees this, and runs over to ask if he can have them. Aw. He’s so nice, you guys! I give him permission and he picks them up, though I’m a little disappointed that he doesn’t actually put them on. I was hoping to leave Windhelm with the image of Angrenor strutting about in some classy duds. Alas.

The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition trailer shows assassination on ice-bombed boat

Tom Senior at 10:46am January 30 2012 Tweet Comments 40

On Friday CD Projekt announced that everyone’s copy of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be upgraded to the Enhanced Edition on April 17. This will add extra areas, like “an underground system of chambers beneath Loc Muine” and “a temperate coniferous forest in the Loc Muine mountains.” There will be new characters to meet, quests to complete and foes to freeze-bomb, and CD Projekt will release a bonus digital map, soundtrack, game guide and manual for good measure.

The trailer above is the new cinematic created for the Enhanced Edition. You only see King Demavend’s severed head in The Witcher 2, but you don’t know that he lost it during an awesome slow-mo action sequence on board a shattering, ice-bombed boat. Good stuff. The Witcher 2 is on sale on GOG for the next week or so.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion screenshots show Titan class battleships

Rebellion will be the first standalone expansion for the marvellous 4X space strategy, Sins of a Solar Empire. It’ll split the universe into two factions, loyalists and rebels. You can join one side or the other to gain access to new tech trees and alternative versions of each faction’s most powerful vessels.

The expansion will also add jumbo sized battlecraft called Titans. These monsters will be even bigger than capital ships and will be able to take on enemy fleets single-handedly. They’ll get to dissolve incoming pirate raids with new giant laser beams, prettified by a new lighting engine. See Titans and their pet lasers in action in these new screenshots.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning trailer talks sidequests and world-building

Tom Senior at 11:52am January 30 2012 Tweet Comments 35

Main quests are overrated. You’ll probably get to save the world, perhaps fight a dragon or two along the way and all that jazz. We’ve done that all before. The real treasure lies off the beaten path, in all the extra quests and characters you discover for yourself.

Rubbish sidequests can feel like padding, which makes the whole game world feel insubstantial. Conversely, good sidequests can make a game world feel vast and interesting. We’ll have to wait and see which camp Kingdom’s of Amalur falls into. Will we be killing giant rats in cellars for meagre coin, or vanquishing sky-demons for magical plate-mail? US players will find out on February 7. It’s out on February 10 in Europe.

Star Wars: The Old Republic players hunt for rumoured white lightsaber crystal

The magenta crystal was one of the most coveted items in Star Wars: The Old Republic, until now. One top level player has been spotted running around the TOR’s planets with a “whitesaber,” sparking a galaxy wide hunt for the white crystal.

The saber’s owner, Catch, posted his discovery on The Old Republic forums with pictures and item stats, and then livestreamed himself running around with the crystal to prove that it exists. So far, he’s kept the methods he used to obtain the crystal a closely guarded secret. The community has been poring over the few clues he’s given and, in some cases, been following him around to see if he’ll let slip any new info. There are several theories, some madder than others.

The white crystals were available in beta as rare drops from one of Aladeraan’s world bosses. Players started by killing him repeatedly to discover if that was still the case, but with no luck. It appears that, unlike the Magenta crystal, the white crystal isn’t available as a schematic. These would let Artificers craft them with the right materials. It looks like a world puzzle instead.

A thread on Reddit has collated other clues which indicated that dead Tauntauns on Hoth could be part of the process. Others think that it might have something to do with the Well Fed Womp Rat on Tattoine. Eye-witness reports claim to have seen Catch and his group killing the Womp Rat to draw out vendors, which they then killed to stack special buffs onto the rat.

Mass Effect 3 trailer introduces all-star voice cast

Tom Senior at 03:15pm January 31 2012 Tweet Comments 0

Freddy Prinze Jr will be playing new squadmate, Vega, in Mass Effect 3, triggering panic attacks among those who remember his role in the Wing Commander movie. It’s okay, he’s been in Frazier, Friends, Boston Legal and 24 since then. He joins second newcomer, Jessica Chobot, who plays reporter Diana Allers.

The voice cast video above is worth watching to see how closely the cast resemble their in-game counterparts. Vega is essentially Freddy Prinze’s face transpanted onto a hulking frame, Joker looks as close to Seth Green as ever and The Illusive Man is like a young, bionic Martin Sheen, or “Mr. President” to West Wing fans.

The cast will feature a few more familiar voices. Tricia Helfer returns as the Normandy’s AI, Yvonne Strahovski reprises her role as Miranda. Carrie-Anne Moss is Aria T’Loak and Lance Henriksen is Admiral Steve Hackett. See Mass Effect 3 characters old and new in the fresh batch of screenshots below.

Star Wars: The Old Republic white lightsaber acquired through exploit, will be added officially in future

Yesterday we highlighted a big hunt in Star Wars: The Old Republic for a vaunted white crystal. One player had been showing off a silver saber, and dropping cryptic hints as to how it was acquired. It’s time to call off the search. Bioware have responded to say that the crystal was gained through a complex exploit, and isn’t yet officially part of the game.

“CatchDeathwalker did not obtain the white crystal through legitimate means in the game. Right now, we’re removing the crystal from his possession,” reads a post on the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums. A separate comment later in the thread elaborates. “This was not an ‘easy exploit’,” Bioware say “and not something the average player might ‘stumble upon’.”

“Right now, it is not possible to legitimately obtain a White Lightsaber Crystal in the game through any gameplay method. In the future, it will be possible to legitimately obtain. When that day comes, we’ll let you know so you can go about obtaining the crystal for your characters.”

So the white crystal WILL be a high level reward to be added in a future update, which makes sense. White crystals were available as a world boss drop in beta, and the whitesaber model clearly exists, it just isn’t available just yet. The hunt for the while crystal has turned out to be a bit of a Bantha chase, but players have still found some weird things out there in the wilds of Hoth and Tatooine. The curious clues involving carefully placed Tauntauns and the Queen of Sands may be part of a different puzzle entirely.

Capcom Announces Ace Attorney 5, Brings 1-3 To iOS

He may not be Capcom's biggest name, but Ace Attorney fans will be happy to know that Capcom is working on another entry in it's goofy law adventure series. And those who haven't played the games can finally jump in with HD re-releases of the first three Ace Atrorney games on iOS.

It's a little surprising, but it's Ace Attorney's 10th anniversary in Japan. In honor of his birthday, the publisher announced that it is working on Ace Attorney 5, releasing the logo for the game (below).

During an event in Japan, Capcom also announced some news regarding the upcoming Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney title for 3DS -- basically that the animated cutscenes are being produced by the animation studio Bones, and the game is due sometime this year. So, you know, that's news.

If that wasn't enough, Capcom release some screens for the HD versions of the first three Ace Attorneys which will be released on iOS later this year. Check out the screens over at Famitsu.

FPS Multiplayer Record Set At 999 Simultaneous Combatants

Software developer MuchDifferent set a Guinness-sanctioned world record over the weekend, setting up an online FPS session that supported nearly 1,000 simultaneous players.

The one-off stunt was a demonstration of the company's Pikkotekk technology, which was the backbone of the experiment. At its peak, 999 players faced off as either human or machine combatants in a massive battle. The video below it shows it off in action. It may not have been the prettiest gaming event over the weekend (by a long shot), but it was a pretty neat milestone.

If you do plan to watch the video, be warned that the chat contains profanity. You didn't think they could round up 999 online FPS players without that happening now, did you?

Guinness will be confirming the event over the next few days. Look for it in next year's Guinness World Records Gamer Edition if everything checks out.

[Update]: THQ Comments On Recent Layoff Rumor

: THQ has responded to a recent rumor that it has laid off staff in its Australia office, as well as there being trouble in Japan.

A THQ representative told us that the layoffs in Australia are related to the staff moves that the company outlined last week. Furthermore, the Japan office will not be closing, as there will still be staff at the Japanese location, and the Australia office will still handle THQ's business relationships in the region.

Microsoft Attempting To Acquire Domain Name Of Fake Halo 4 Beta Site

The Halo 4 publisher recently filed a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum to acquire the domain Halo4beta.net, which had been posing as a Halo 4 Beta registration site.

343 Industries David Ellis had already warned fans via his Twitter account that the site was fake. In response the domain was taken down by its owner -- and still comes up as "suspended" today. However, Microsoft's new filing -- if successful -- would give the company ownership of the domain. Microsoft had already taken similar action to buy the domain Halo4.com for an undisclosed sum of money.

It is not known if the fraudulent Halo 4 beta site was being used for fraud or "phishing" purposes.

EverQuest Going Free-To-Play

The list of MMO titles going free-to-play continues to grow. Sony Online Entertainment announced the original EverQuest is now going free-to-play this March.

"With the move to free-to-play, players will continue to enjoy the EQ experience they know and love, only now they have the power to choose a model that caters to their play style," SOE said. "Through the new free-to-play model, players will have the options of non-recurring vs. recurring subscriptions, Free vs. Silver memberships, item unlockers, and many more."

As part of this move, all players receive a "Welcome Pack" containing brand-new items. Additional details about all the changes to the game can be found in a blog post by EverQuest producer Thom Terrazas and a new FAQ.

SOE previously announced that EverQuest II and DC Universe Online were going free-to-play.

Sony Likely To Be Last To Unveil Next-Gen System

In an interview with a French website, a Sony executive suggested that the company is in no hurry to announce the next PlayStation.

When asked about the company's next-gen plans in an interview with Le Point, Sony France's Philippe Cardon commented, "It's true that there are a lot of rumors, but I can't tell you anything. The Wii is under time pressure because it's in decline. As far as we're concerned, we're under a lot less pressure. We were the last to release the PS3, we will probably be the last to announce something."

Nintendo's Wii U is slated to release sometime this year, and it's widely speculated that Micrsoft is going to announce a new version of the Xbox at E3 2012.

Rock Band Dev Tackling PSN, XBLA, Facebook

The next game from the creators of Rock Band appears to be a download-only title for consoles and Facebook.

First spotted by superannuation, the resume for game designer Brian Chan lists an unannounced project from Harmonix is currently in development for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Facebook.

John Drake, director of communications & brand management at Harmonix, released a statement saying, “As we've stated before, our studio is growing and hard at work on a variety of titles. In a storied Harmonix tradition, our designers start working on those games before they're publicly announced. We're excited to confirm more information soon, probably via a LinkedIn update or something - we haven't decided.”

Harmonix was purchased from Viacom by investment firm Columbus Nova, LLC. in December 2010. The studio has since released Vidrhythm on the App Store and Dance Central 1 and 2 for Xbox 360 Kinect.

The Next Xbox Will Not Be Released In 2012

While not ruling out the possibility that a new Xbox console could be revealed at E3, a French Microsoft executive stated that the company will not release new hardware in 2012.

When asked to respond to rumors that a new Microsoft console was going to be unveiled at E3, Microsoft France marketing director Cedrick Delmas said, "We're in an industry that talks a lot, that likes telling stories. I am not convinced that things will happen this year. The Xbox 360's cycle is not over at all. The proof is that we haven't price cut this year. Afterward, what will happen at E3, it's still too early to say. What's certain is that there will be nothing new in 2012. If we wanted to counter Nintendo, we would have to be in a position to release something immediately, and that is not at all the case."

He continued, "We're not here to counter Nintendo and they're not here to fight the other manufacturers. Nintendo has put itself in a different cycle, it's going forward to its own rhythm, with success as we have seen with the Wii, and now it's their turn to present their innovation."

This seems to suggest that -- like Sony -- Microsoft is biding its time in regards to the next generation of consoles.

THQ Faces NASDAQ Delisting

The past few weeks haven't been kind to publisher THQ. The company has been besieged with layoffs, structural reorganization, and persistent rumors that its future is on shaky ground. Now it's facing the possibility that its sagging stock could be delisted on the NASDAQ exchange. After trading below the minimum $1 for 30 days, THQ faces an ultimatum from NASDAQ: its common stock has to trade above $.99 a share for 10 consecutive days over the next 180 days, or it will be delisted.

The disappointing sales of the company's uDraw drawing tablet and other licensed titles has made THQ reevaluate its overall strategy. One way that the publisher thinks it can succeed is by focusing more on core games, including Saints Row. THQ recently announced that the latest installment in the series, Saints Row: The Third, shipped 3.8 million units worldwide.

“THQ will be a more streamlined organization focused only on our strongest franchises,” said Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ. “The success of Saints Row: The Third is an example of what our revised strategy and focus can achieve."

One thing's for certain in this uncertain period: THQ's third-quarter 2012 investor call is going to be interesting this Thursday.

Darksiders Set To Invade The Literary World

One of the perks about being the embodiment of death or war is that time doesn't have the same meaning for you as it does for lowly mortals. While novelizations based on other IP may dabble with the events just before the games start, Del Rey's upcoming book Darksiders: The Abomination Vault, is going back a bit farther. We're talking thousands of years back, in fact.

Random House and THQ revealed the book today, which follows Death and War on the hunt for ancient weapons and the mysterious forces who would use them to start a massive conflict. It's being written by Ari Marmell, and it's due out this May.

Prediction: The book will contain more synonyms for "giant hammer" and "scythe" than you thought were possible.

As you navigate your ship through a huge disaster, you must avoid all the cubes in order to continue the maze.

Corsair launches new cases, coolers and light kits

What should one call Corsair now that it’s no longer easy to pigeon hole as a memory manufacturer or SSD supplier? With its keyboards, cases, mice and headsets it’s becoming the company of all things, and there’s a couple of quirky new products launched today which expand its oeuvre once again.

Over at CES in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, Corsair is busy showing off its new Link Commander and Link Cooling kits. The principle behind Link is a complete monitoring and real time tweaking platform for your PC. Heatsinks like the H80 CPU cooler and Airflow Pro memory fan attach to a front panel mounted control box, which in turn is run via Windows desktop software.

The idea is that you can adjust fan speeds at the click of a mouse. Normally I’d prefer to do this using a hardware controller on the front of the case, on account of the fact that I won’t even load keyboard drivers into the background of my gaming PC. However, Corsairs system also comes with LED lighting tubes capable of illuminating the inside of your case with 16million colours, so a more sophisticated control is necessary.

All in the Cooling and Light kits cost $139, but you can buy them separately for less.

As well as the Corsair Link kits, there’s also a couple of new cases on display at CES. The Carbide 300R is the new $89 budget enclosure

Red Orchestra 2 mod tools released

The full version of the Red Orchestra 2 SDK has been released for free, giving RO2 owners the opportunity to create maps and game modes for Tripwire’s multiplayer shooter. The developers have released a few limited versions of the SDK, but the full suite of tools is now available.

“Users can now make and publish everything from simple mods and mutators, through custom maps and on to full total conversion mods,” Tripwire say, mentioning that big mods like Rising Storm, In Country Vietnam and Iron Europe are already in development. You can grab the mod tools from the Tools tab of your Steam account.

Tripwire are no strangers to the modding scene. Killing Floor and Red Orchestra started out as mods for Unreal 2004. Hopefully the SDK release can inspire another wave of talented modders.

The Elder Strolls, Part 5: Spring Break

I’ve settled into a comfy routine during my past week in Skyrim. I spend time by my new riverside shack, hunting, fishing, gathering alchemy ingredients, and chopping wood at a nearby mill. Every other day I make the walk to Windhelm to mix potions and craft armor to sell to vendors. I even run (well, walk) into a giant who is doing some strolling of his own near my house, and to my delight he doesn’t try to kill me or ask me to do something for him. In my mind, he’s the perfect NPC: completely indifferent to my existence. I’ve named him Andre.

This morning, however, on my way back from spending the night in Windhelm, something is nagging at me. I’ve spent my morning walk trying to figure out what do to next, but I’m drawing a blank. Where do I go from here? What’s on my to-do list? And then, as my shack comes into view, I suddenly realize why I’m having so much trouble planning my next move: I may not actually have a next move.

Rumor: Best Buy Marketing Points To February 1 Release For Diablo III

Joystiq is reporting that a twitter user has posted a photo of a piece of Best Buy marketing that points to a February 1 release date for Diablo III. There is a lot of evidence to contradict this exciting release date, but there is also some evidence to support Best Buy's claim.

First the supporting evidence. The photo above, obviously, and many retailers are listing the game for release next month. Best Buy's website and Target both have the game pegged for a February release date. We also know that Diablo III is going through the ratings board hoops, although that isn't necessarily indicative of the game being near completion.

Now, the contradictory evidence. In the image above, February is misspelled, which does happen admittedly (although I wouldn't know anything abouut about that), but that's a pretty glaring mistake for such a big release. In response to the image, Blizzard's Community manager,

Saturday Crapshoot: Pyst

Myst, as everyone who ignores people who are wrong can tell you, is a festering boil upon the gaming industry, found just off to the side of adventuring’s anus, on the itchiest part of point and click’s clammiest buttock. It landed in 1993, with its pretty graphics instantly bedazzling all who gazed upon it, especially those who found a copy stuffed with their first CD drive or nestled in the packaging of their printer for reasons that still escape all comprehension. To this day, it has armies of admirers. Unrelated, there are millions of people whose idea of a good time is watching obese members of the opposite sex bathing in porridge to the tunes of Barry Manilow. Probably. In conclusion, Myst is rubbish.

But did you ever wonder what happened to scenic Myst Island after some four million players had tramped across it? Of course not. But if you had, Pyst might just have been your answer…

New year, new Rig

Looking to build yourself a new gaming PC for the top titles of 2012? Sadly, January sales don’t really affect PC component prices. If anything, things are a little bit more expensive than they were in mid-December. Memory is a little bit cheaper than it was, but most other components have gone up a little bit.

Even so, and with big news like Intel’s Ivy Bridge and more affordable Southern Islands graphics cards on the horizon, now’s as good a time as any to start upgrading your system.

The first look at the PC Gamer Rig for the year doesn’t see any significant improvements in terms of processing power or component selection. But I have swapped its case again as a result of a group test recently written for the mag. The new Corsair Carbide 500R is a bit more expensive than the Cooler Master Plus 912HAF that it wore at the end of 2011, but it’s an exceptional case for the price, with tons of room inside and some excellent features. Plus, it looks good and runs quietly.

If you’re after a bargain, though, you might think about getting your hands on one of AMD’s Bulldozer chips. Just before Christmas the company announced a cashback scheme of up to

Microsoft Responds To Xbox Live Phishing Scams

Microsoft claims the recent string of overseas phishing attempts against Xbox Live members is not a result of the service being hacked.

One such phishing scam was detailed on a Tumblr blog called “Hacked on Xbox.” User Susan Taylor had her Xbox Live account illegally accessed by someone who apparently then purchased a Family Gold Pack under her name and gifted points to other accounts that are later sold through online auctions.

In total, Taylor lost $300 from her PayPal account and has since been refunded for her troubles.

“Microsoft can confirm that there has been no breach to the security of our Xbox Live service. In recent cases, some Xbox Live members appear to have been victims of malicious scams,” a spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this is something that affects many Internet based services.

“The online safety of Xbox Live members remains of the utmost importance, which is why we consistently take measures to protect Xbox Live against ever-changing threats.  However, we are aware that a handful of customers have experienced problems getting their accounts restored once they’ve reported an issue,” the company added.

“We are working directly with those customers to restore their accounts as soon as possible and are reviewing our processes to ensure a positive customer support experience.”

Dark Souls On PC Sounds Delicious

Dark Souls is a great game. So great, in fact, that it received a Game of the Year nomination from the Game Developer's Choice awards. That's why players are perplexed as to why Namco never released a PC version of the game.

Here's where things get interesting. A Namco Europe employee recently suggested on the company's forums that a PC version of Dark Souls is entirely possible...if there's demand for it.

"There is always possibilities to have games adapted on PC and the good news is that Dark Souls is not a 100% typical Console game so the adaptation is possible," Namco said. "Now to make things happen, let's say the demand has to be properly done. Someone to make a successful petition?"

Fans have already started an online petition and gathered over 10,000 signatures in less than a day. Impressive! When asked for comment, though, Namco told Rock Paper Shotgun that any talk of a PC port of Dark Souls at this point is purely speculative and that there's no further comment on the matter.

Pow, thwack, delay: Gotham City Impostors pushed into February

Gotham City Impostors’ armed-to-the-teeth cast of Bruce Wayne wannabes may look sloppy and ragtag, but it’s all subterfuge. Zany vigilante justice takes hard work, so Monolith’s opted to delay the game into February to make sure every last hair is meticulously out of place. Currently, the developer isn’t offering any further whens, whys, or wherefores, but I’ve requested details with emails and gravily bellows of “WHERE IS HE?” I feel like they might not be getting the message, though. Maybe I should try my Bane impression.

The third week sales results for PlayStation Vita in Japan were released today, and it's not looking too good.

Rockstar Only Changed 1 Percent Of GTA3 After 9/11

Grand Theft Auto III didn't see many changes after the events of 9/11. As part of an ongoing Q&A series on its website, Rockstar Games says the only significant change was the removal of one story mission.

"We removed only one mission that referenced terrorists and changed a few other cosmetic details – car details, a couple of ped comments, lines of radio dialogue etc – the game came out a very short time later," Rockstar said. "The biggest change was the US packaging which remixed the previous packaging into what became our signature style – because the previous packaging

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Minimates Get MODOK, Amaterasu

Art Asylum's second series of collectible Marvel Vs. Capcom Minimates figures will hit store shelves next month. Later in the spring, fans can look forward to a third series featuring many of the game's strangest combatants.

Marvel's MODOK, the character who appears to be modeled after Humpty Dumpty, is the highlight of this wave. Capcom's four-legged painter Armaterasu is also included. The packs breakdowns are Ryu versus Captain America, She-Hulk versus Chun Li, Doctor Doom versus Wesker, X-23 versus Felicia (the cool one, not Day), MODOK versus Akuma, and Amaterasu versus Thor.

Crusader Kings II - Units Video Dev Diary

   

by Vito Gesualdi, December 30, 2011

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own agenda.

Syndicate trailer teases four player co-op

Tom Senior at 11:11am January 4 2012 Tweet Comments 8

Syndicate’s co-op mode should provide the closest experience to the Bullfrog original. Sort of. The four player mode will put you in the shoes of the squad of agents you controlled in the old games. The trailer mentions nine missions based on the original campaign, as well as 12 “breach applications.” These are special abilities that let you hack into enemy equipment (including the chips in their brains) and revive downed allies. Like the weapons, you’ll be able to customise these with upgrades earned as you progress. Find out more in our Syndicate preview.

Battlefield 3 devs ask for feedback on future tweaks

Battlefield 3′s core gameplay designer, Alan Kertz has opened up DICE’s Battlefield 3 patch ideas for feedback on Reddit. The discussion, spotted by Games.on.net, has been going for a few days, but includes frank assessments of many of Battlefield 3′s unlocks along with a suggestion from Kertz that “the player is limited in choice due to a few accessories being the clear winners in almost all categories.”

The list of suggested balance changes haven’t been decided on yet. DICE have decided to go to the community for some feedback first.

Kertz describes some potential changes for overused perks like the foregrip that provides steadier aim when firing from the hip, and suggests that the bipod attachment that lets players steady their weapon against a hard surface before firing is underpowered. The post also includes in depth musings on the role and effectiveness of suppressors, flash suppressors and heavy barrels.

Based on my experiences, the assessment of bipods is especially accurate, but it’s worth seconding some of the suggestions that commenters mention in response to Kertz’ post. Currently, the right mouse button brings a weapon up to aim by default, but also deploys the bipod if there’s a nearby surface that’s suitable. It’d be good to see these on different keys. On respawn, flashlights and laser pointers are switched on by default, potentially giving your position away if you’re spawning on a squadmate in a good position behind enemy lines. Pressing T on every spawn gets annoying pretty quickly.

It’s good to know that DICE are still working to balance BF3 and involving the community in the process. It’s always useful to see the thinking behind the changes the devs are making. The last Battlefield 3 patch made some popular improvements, nerfing mortars and tactical lights. What would you like to see tweaked in the next patch?

Dancing in Star Wars: The Old Republic can make you invincible

Tom Senior at 12:24pm January 4 2012 Tweet Comments 29

The recent Ilum exploits in Star Wars: The Old Republic pale in comparison to the the glitch shown above, spotted by RPS, in which a bounty hunter discovers that dancing instantly interrupts all enemy attacks, effectively rendering him invincible as long as he never, ever drops the beat.

Typing the /getdown command in front of an enemy that’s targeting you seems to do the trick. We haven’t had chance to try it yet, but we’ll dive in for a quick boogie in front of the first Rancor we find at lunchtime. Chris reckons that as the /getdown command is used for group dancing, the attacking NPC’s indecision may be down to the fact that he’s TRYING to dance, but can’t manage it, because he only knows how to kill :(

UPDATE: Reports have been coming in that players using this exploit are being banned by BioWare. Do NOT use the irrepressible power of dance to avoid a fight until we confirm.

UPDATE #2: The earlier reports of players being banned have been outed as fakes, and we’ve confirmed with BioWare directly that no one has been banned, suspended, or even warned in regards to the /getdown bug. Get back out on that dance floor!

Free games for the New Year: Deity

Deity places you in the hooves of a purple-horned demon whose realm is invaded by torch-bearing, sword-wielding fantasy types. On the surface, it’s an isometric dungeon-crawler in the vein of Diablo: but there’s no direct combat and no loot to find. Instead, this is a stealth puzzle game – the student developers at Digipen cite Batman: Arkham Asylum as one of their influences, and it shows.

It’s entirely mouse controlled, with left click to move and right click to teleport between locations in a cone of purple mist. You’re vulnerable to light, but by teleporting into wall-mounted braziers you can turn them to your side, gaining a little health and a place to hide in the process. Teleporting into enemies, meanwhile, causes them to explode into a shower of giblets.

Minecraft village made real with 3D printer

If you’re really fond of something you’ve built in Minecraft and want to find a way to preserve it forever, here’s one way to do it. Minecraft fan and Flickr user, post-apocalyptic research institute, has uploaded a series of photos showing a model of their Minecraft village created using a 3D printer. According to the description on the Flickr account, the 3D model of the village was exported into a CAD program for colouring before being printed using a Zprinter 650 machine. It’s a pretty expensive process, but the results are quite lovely. Take a look.

King Arthur 2 pre-orders come with immediate access to Dead Legion campaign

Tom Senior at 03:41pm January 4 2012 Tweet Comments 3

As with the original, King Arthur 2 promises Total War-esque strategy with a fantasy twist. It’s set in a fairytale version of the United Kingdom steeped in Celtic lore and old Arthurian legends, which means it contains significantly more flying harpies and antlered giants than most Total War titles.

It’s available to pre-order now on Steam and, like the faeries of old, is seeking to tempt ye with promises of silvery treasure. If you pay now, you’ll be able to start playing the Dead Legion prologue campaign right away. The rest of the game is due to be released sometime later this month, when the old gods deign that the time is right. Find out more about the sequel in our King Arthur 2 preview.

Mass Effect 3 screenshots show new baddies, expert posing

Here’s something you can try at home. First, set up a camera. Then, grab a futuristic rifle (use a pretend one if there aren’t any lying about). Now turn left until you’re at a right angle to the lens.

Good. Now get a friend to stand behind you facing in the opposite direction. Then get a third friend to stand slightly behind both of you off to the other side.

Finally, adopt your most dramatic aiming pose and pretend you’re on an alien planet.

Congratulations, you are a Mass Effect 3 screenshot!
