  • Next Battlefield Game And Future Frostbite Titles Will Require A 64-bit OS

    Battlefield developer DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine has received immense praise after its release in Battlefield 3 and now the studio is teasing its use in upcoming 2013 games.

    Although most PC users don’t use a 64-bit OS its highly efficient that they should since users can get much more performance out of their systems that way.

    EA is trying its best to push the engine to as many of its franchises as possible including the recent Need for Speed: The Run and upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter games.

    So what do you think of DICE’s decision? Will you be installing a 64-bit OS if you haven’t already to enjoy their new games? Let us know in the comments below.

  • Former Call Of Duty Devs Working On “Halo Beater” For EA

    Activision claims that former Infinity Ward heads Vince Zampella and Jason West  new Sci Fi shooter IP intended to be a “Halo Beater” at their new studio Respawn Entertainment.

    The Associated Press reported on the claim after Activision’s settlement with EA.

    Activision has sought access to details about Respawn’s work for Electronic Arts on a new game that has not been revealed,

    Activision claimed the pair had discussed creating a science-fiction shooter intended to challenge the “Halo” franchise, but instead of delivering that game gave it to Redwood City-based Electronic Arts.

    Respawn has indeed been very silent about their new game after announcing a mysterious teaser image over a year ago (pictured below).

    After announcing that they’ll be skipping E3 this year I don’t think we can expect their game to come out this year.

    So what do you think of the game? Will the creators of the biggest franchise in gaming be able to do it again? Let us know in the comments below.

Each balloon will be equipped with a GPS device, allowing fans to check the progress of the balloon from the official Mass Effect website.
