  • Tomb Raider Reboot Delayed To 2013

    Crystal Dynamics’ highly anticipated Tomb Raider reboot has unfortunately been delayed to the first quarter of 2013. The news came in directly from the developer’s blog where studio head Darrell Gallagher explained that they had to delay the game to ensure that they  “fully deliver the very highest quality game”.

    He issued the following statement on the forums:

    A Message to the Tomb Raider Community

    When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.

    Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

    We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.

    Darrell Gallagher

    Lets hope the delay is worth it.

  • Street Fighter x Tekken bug fix announced

    The latest update for Capcom’s Street Fighter x Tekken introduced a new major bug. The update was originally released to fix some minor bugs and graphical glitches. However, this new bug caused the game to crash when Rolento’s knife made contact with a fireball (e.g: Ryu’s Hadoken). Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 were affected by this bug.

    Capcom has now announced a fix for this bug that will be released by mid-June according to Shoryuken. Capcom posted on it’s Unity blog saying “The dev team is hard at work investigating the issue, and plans to have a patch available soon”.

    Tomoaki Ayano announced in the post, “As many of you are aware, a game breaking glitch has appeared in Street Fighter X Tekken after the release of the 1.04 update. The development team is currently examining the problem and planning to patch the game as quickly as possible. The patch to fix the glitch should be released by mid June.

    “We truly apologize for this problem, and hope everyone will be patient until the patch is released. Thank you very much.”

    Did you fall victim to this bug as well? What do you think of Capcom releasing the fix a little late? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Tomb Raider Gets A March 5 2013 Release Date Along With New E3 Trailer

    This is the first time the game has been shown off since its debut at E3 last year. The game was initially due this year in Autumn but was delayed to ensure utmost quality.

    Tomb Raider will also be making an appearance at Microsoft’s conference on the 4th of June.

    The game is expected to arrive on the Xbox 360, PC and PS3.

  • Treyarch Confident Black Ops 2 Will Outdo Its Predecessor

    Treyarch, the guys behind 2010′s highly popular shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops and now Black Ops 2 seem to be very confident about their latest game. The studio is going all out with Black Ops 2′s development said studio boss Mark Lamia has said in an interview with AusGamer.

    As we were wrapping up Black Ops 1, the team was really firing on all cylinders. And while we really gave everything we had to that, and we were really happy with it, we kind of felt like, as a team, that was the first time that the entire studio had just focused on one game,

    So we were really proud of what we’d created, but we felt like that was kind of like the base-level. We felt like we could push it so much more. So that’s why you’re seeing so many new things go into Black Ops 2.

    The fiction itself, to take it to the near future, we can trace that back to while we were in submission with Black Ops 1. The game is basically done, it’s submitted to first-parties — which as it’s being manufactured; before it hits the shelves.

    In the past, sometimes we’ve felt like we need a little bit of a break, but we were just super-excited about what we had created, so we started spinning on “hey, with this one, we can take it to the near future. But we want it to be a sequel to the characters; and we can do this generation spinning”. Just all of these different ideas started coming to the surface.

    So, while — like I said — probably the worst kept secret in gaming is that Treyarch are making Call of Duty: Black Ops II, exactly what Call of Duty: Black Ops II is, is probably the best kept secret in gaming.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is expected to hit stores November 13th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

  • Tomb Raider Teaser Trailer Released

    A very short 30 second teaser trailer of Tomb Raider has been released. Check out the teaser below courtesy for GameTrailers TV.

    Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider reboot will be hitting the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in early 2013.

  • New Job Listing Suggests Next Generation Xbox Might Be Coming Sooner Than You Thought

    We’re all excited to see what the next generation of consoles bring to the table and the speculations are at an all time high.

    Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was the first current gen consoles to hit the stores followed by the Wii and PS3, this time around Microsoft might be second with the Wii U already announced but according to a new job listing by the Redmond giant the wait might not be that long after all.

    Skype is working on powering real-time voice and video communications on the Xbox. Xbox is a fundamental lynchpin of Skype’s living-room strategy, and we are focused on enabling amazing new in-game and in-console voice and video experiences for the next generation of Xbox. This is a crucial initiative for Xbox, and it is time-critical given the hardware lead times involved.

    Its pretty much a given that Skype will be present on the next Xbox but with the amount of emphasis shown in the job listing Microsoft wants to waste no time. I think its safe to say that the software part of the console could be in its final stages, guess we’ll have to wait till E3 to find out.

  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 And Mirror Fate Reported To Be Under Development

    Two new Castlevania games have been revealed, and one of them is a sequel to the 2010 Castlevania game, Lords of Shadow. According to reports, Lords of Shadow 2 will be releasing on Xbox 360, PS Vita, PS3 and Wii U, but we still don’t know when. There is also a separate 3DS game in the works called Castlevania: Mirror Fate.

    Reportedly, Mirror Fate is a 2-player, 2D co-op action game that makes use of the 3DS’ inner facing camera as a mirror, and the outer facing camera to solve puzzles.

    A Wii U version of Mirror Fate was being developed, but has been stopped to divert attention towards Lords of Shadow 2. Apparently, Lords of Shadow 2 will be an upgraded port of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for the Wii U. It will also support 3DS connectivity.

    What do you think of this? Should the Wii U be getting a better version, or not? Let me know in the comments below.
