I managed to get a little game time in during this past weekend. Actually a bit more than usual. I took a break from shooters in general(that also means no Killzone 2) thanks to Dragon Age.
All of that has changed thanks to the Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo. All I have to say is that if you miss out on this game as a shooter fan, that’s a minus for you. Much has been improved since the beta but that’s a topic for the podcast.
So, what have you all been playing during this past weekend?
If you all are wondering what the title of this episode is about, you’ll soon find out. We thought we heard the last of MAG, but that’s obviously not the case. Thanks to Omnilaw, the crew gets an earful of MAG. Plus what’s up with that iPad?
No, there’s still no new third person Killzone game but if you’ve been following the news, you’d know that the Uncharted 2 skin pack is now available. So, other than Killzone Liberation on the PSP, this is the closest thing to a real Killzone third person shooter.
Check out the footage of Sev and a Helghast from the UC2 skin pack, posted below.
Starting today and weekly I’m going to start posting people I have met week to week in HOME. If you haven’t already gotten the fact I like home from the forums this should prove it to ya. I try to make time each week to get on Home and check out the new sites and my fellow gamer. It’s a fun feeling to go up to a total stranger and know you will be able to strike up a conversation about gaming.
I’m going to be frank here. Back in the beta, I chose S.V.E.R. And I stand readily by that choice, ready to defend myself against any oncoming Raven fans or Valor dudes!”How could you do such a thing?!”, you might ask. Well, allow me to explain my actions.
We’re back again with this week’s Helcast. The crew talks up some random gaming news as well as what’s coming down the pipeline for this and the following month. Download and go- Helcast time!
Siliconera.com has let the word out about Naughty Dog’s first run of DLC for Uncharted 2. And it looks like Sev and some Helghasts will be battling it out for some loot in Nathan Drake’s world.
You can view the screenshot and link below. As crazy as this sounds, I’m sure it’s going to be a top seller on the PlayStation Store.
After looking for a while for some new dirt on anything Killzone I did manage to find something that has me hyped. According to a few videos of people who went to CES the Killzone franchise is in full swing with Killzone3, and it’s rumored to have an amazing new engine built by Guerrilla Games.
The word around the show was the new engine will be shown behind closed doors at GDC 2010. It’s rumored to have bumped up graphics, and an incredible new physics engine similar to the Battlefield Bad Company engine.Basically it would give you graphics in a FPS similar to Uncharted2 with total environment destruction capability. With this said and as exciting as it would be it is still just talk, but from the people who went to CES they seem fairly sure it’s more then just talk.
Down below is a video from the “HIP HOP Gamer” from youtube who tells about his trip to CES and covers what I have stated up above. Enjoy.
Talk about a literal facepalm! I really hate it when people do this. It’s like going on televsion to denounce it. There are many words I could continue to say, but I can’t quite put them in a legible sentence. I didn’t want to give the exact URL, but the info is there if you want to check it out.
Now that I am tired of playing Modern Warfare 2 I figured I would rekindle my relationship with Killzone 2 to prepare myself for the beast called “Killzone 3″. Also this video below made me realize that maybe its a good thing I sold my copy of MW2. Nobody informed me about these side effects. Enjoy!
