Just Cause 2 – in a pair of trailers

On returning to the ficcional Isla de Panau, the agent Rico Rodriguez continues in way, more than ready to recover the money stolen by his ancient friend and mentor (and official to charge), Tom Sheldon, a man who knows to Rich better than to himself. And so, Eidos reminds to us that it keeps on being employed at Just Cause 2, and throws a pair of trailers the memory freshens up:

Each of the piece of news “tasks“ in the island is accessible for air, sea, or ground, in something like “more than 100 vehicles” and doing all kinds of horseplay when the things go out badly (that is to say, 90 % of the remaining attempts).

Steam is renewed, dresses of open source

Surprise! Valve closes the week with the announcement of a new Steam, and some numbers:

“During the last 12 months, Steam has grown 200 %. 25 exist now millions of users, 1000 + games, 12 billion minutes of player a month, and 75 billion minutes of the client Steam monthly” or, in other words, we need a new Steam, with steroids, from preference.

Available like an optional beta (clic in this linkage with Steam being executed), the new innovation injection packs from one renewed user's interface and principal code, up to a Web injection 2.0 with special emphasis on the social networks more pop to spy on the rest of our friends.

I joust from within of your games Library, now you can see which of your friends it plays every game or to invite them to play with you. Even if you have not bought a game, the knowledge if your friends are playing it is one of the more useful samples of information to have to hand. So on the principal page of the shop, there is a new list of what your friends have bought or played recently.

There is a new news feed, bringing information of the games over to the sale, so much of Valve as on the outside. And a new way of organizing the Achievements, because seemingly these damned things matter for the people.

And something that certainly he is worth emphasizing, how good nerd that I am, is the eradication of Internet Explorer of the entrails of the client; that now uses an engine based on WebKit (the same that there use Chrome, Safari, Epiphany, and the rest of “the big ones”) for the composition and all that related to the web, jousted how to close the innovations list with golden brooch.

More information and informative reading, in this linkage.

Of dessert, the General has something like thirty new enemies in this expansion, and even this new vehicle (to see front) for up to 4 players.

A videos trio, after the jump.

BioShock 2 receives DLC endless number, expands in March

2K Games has put slightly "aggressive" and announced the day of the date the appearance and his plans to publish suppressed post-throwing for BioShock 2. The strategy in question the individual experience and multiplayer try to extend and improve adding slightly more of Rapture to the subaquatic adventure.

Baptized like “Sinclair Solutions Test Pack” then, the new content bundle brings some changes and progress over to the multiplayer like being new complements for our arsenal, a new limit of level (50), new players, five additional masks and some other bric-a-brac for the equivalent to 400 Puntirijillos of Microsoft, or $ 4.99 dollars, come March.

And so, then there is promised a bundle that will concentrate in expanding the individual campaign, and that it promises “more narrative, new hardware and challenges that extend the heredity and fiction of the utopia under the sea “that was never”.

Command and Conquer 4 does not support games LAN either

Continuing this stupid new tendency of castrating products on behalf of the piracy, EA has announced that his imminent Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight will not be provided with support for games LAN, in his place depending on a constant connection to Internet to say to us that we are genuine clients and to keep all our progress in the EA servants.

Implementing a global system of progress of the player, the principal designer of the project, Sam Bass, he explains to us:

[The] system has individual player, multiplayer and skirmish and all the information stored in a servant. Then if you go to another machine, the house of a friend, a cybercafe, or what is, you can initiate meeting with your profile and the whole material that you have unblocked will be free there. Everything resides in a principal servant so really you cannot help servants dedicated with it.

The above mentioned really it does not bother me by no means (after everything, in my life I have come across with a servant dedicated for a RTS … with the exception of World in Conflict). What yes irritates the testicles to me of exceedingly is that EA wants to sell to us the mediocre of the absence of functionality LAN because “he has invested in a new connectivity system in network that is much more solid, and enough more modern” that the seen previously. With this, the publisher promises a simpler enough connection to a game that in the past, Internet route, even if our opponent should be in the armchair of nearby. Better still, what will happen with the servants and our information in one year, when EA - in his infinite knowledge - determines that the game is already not profitable and that we need to buy C&C5?

The game releases this March 19 in the Old Continent, and we cannot say that we will spend nervousness waiting for it … or at least our money.

Why is Assassin's Creed 2 “a shit” and you should not buy it:

Although I am not very partial to the public lynching, there are things that like consumers, it is impossible to pass for high, or even to go so far as to excuse: Assassin's Creed 2 again steals the center of the stage from himself, but in a wrong way.

The version for PC not only comes a few months later in this occasion but ALSO, ALSO, there uses the new system of “protection“ anticopy of Ubisoft - one that needs to call to house and verify with the Ubi servants whenever we want to use our game to corroborate that we are legitimate users.

And so, the measurement needs that we are connected constantly to Internet, the opposite case, closes the game and it us spits in the face; we lose all our progress and return to the MSPaint in the Office. It is even more entertaining, if we consider what should be it is going to go out badly:

• The servants behave erráticamente - as it happens 80 % of the times with any system
• Our router becomes funny - something that inevitably will happen sooner or later
• Ubi does “the big EA” and in one year, closes his servants and "forgets" to update the game for the way offline
• The cat / someone takes with it the network cable or better, the antenna of the neighbor fucks him Wi-Fi
• Windows
• Our connection becomes funny - I have already spent the majority of some day calling my services provider, to what did not discard the possibility
• Someone more in the hearth becomes covetous with the torrents - happens

… And what is occurs to them, it will happen, and we will be on returning to the principal menu, without warnings or possibility of avoiding to throw the monitor for the window. Worse still, this one is not but the first one of several. Settlers is still 7.

I HOPE the cracks for this shit are ready approximately 15 days earlier and waiting, and that Ubi goes with the forehead in high place towards another side. From here in more, and like consumer, I will ignore any other similar insult. Oh, Ubi, how and what so well have you them managed to stamp on us just in the balls …

Civilization V dresses of hexagonal, comes in autumn

2K Games has just announced a new instance of the legendary exemption of strategy for shifts of Sid Meier to what … good, Civilization V comes to PC in autumn.

Again, the players will be responsible for to give life to a civilization from the dawn of the society until the spatial age, with everything and a pompous new engine of graphs and “modding capacities without precedents” and, of dessert, a new toys repertoire to be massacred, including the bombing over a distance.

New to this Civ V (CiV?) it is the use of flagstones in the shape of hexagon, which 2K he says it opens the doors for new opportunities with something more about “depth“ in the strategy and a game still “more realistic”.

At present in development for Firaxis Games, Sid Meier's Civilization V heads for a début in PC in the middle of this year.

And in what does EA walk IT and HE SAYS? Rather, what is of the life of this new Medal of Honor? Very well, there are five images after the jump that show us it well that one sees … and the great thing that the people of publicity and marketing can manipulate Photoshop.

In September, Street Fighter IV comes to the iPhone

No, seriously. The very same game in which we must entrust in the answer automaton of our muscles to take decisions in fractions of seconds and that it can only be improved by means of peripheral of immaculate quality comes to … well, the Apple iPhone.

… They give me desire of my stick destroys YOU.

IGN tells us as well as the adaptation will recycle a the majority of the existing code and will try to support the graphs the most similar thing to the versions of 360 and PS3 as it is possible to him. As for the control panel (sigh), a virtual stick of arcade and his buttons they will be ready to the sides of the screen of the iPhone so that we try not to disgrace. Enclosed Capcom tries to be provided with a good repertoire of personalized adjustments, like the position of the control panel and transparence of the buttons together with a “Way Dojo” to practise our shoryukens before insisting on the real way.

And the rest is a smoke: dates do not exist, prices, or other details on this matter, beyond which “very probably” we listen to anything during the GDC in March.

Kings and Castles: our new medieval Supreme Commander

Chris Taylor and his team of Supreme Commander in Gas Powered Games retain the genre, scarcely stepping back a few thousands of years in the temporary line and not without earlier letting the whole world know about it: Kings and Castles, his new strategy title in real-time, has been announced to the world like “the only experience that will allow to the players to assume the roll of one of three powerful kings who are disputing the control of a new one, and original fantasy world”.

Now then, without fear of happening to be the center of attention, the emprendimiento will adopt a new public approach during the development stage, with seats of the first line route Twitter, Facebook, and the rest of the social networks less pop. In the words of the conductor:

We are making something different in this opportunity. We want to take our fans in a big adventure with us. They will be able to go behind frames and appreciate how the game comes alive from beginning to end.

FREE: EA gives Command and Conquer Classics

In the same way that happened in his moment with the début of Network Alert 2, and having this Tiberian Twilight to the return of the corner, EA gives now Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn together with Tiberian Sun and his expansion, Firestorm, to any that one with desire of there re-live through some epic nostalgias of nonwindy epochs with dirty keyboards beige and games LAN with precarious ring connections.

Oh, and C&C original and Network Alert continue like free discharges, of course. To complete the collection, I have said.

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing comes in March, new campaign one month later

Surprise! Valve exploited of innovations during the event X10 of Microsoft in San Francisco, speaking with Kotaku and revealing that in addition to The Passing - this next expansion of Left 4 Dead 2 that it assembles for the first time to the original cast with the consequence - will make debut come in March. That has not been enough since, that Chet Faliszek has confirmed that another new expansion for the Left 4 Dead original will make debut only one month after that.

They continue the curiosities since, since both expansions-The Passing and the mysterious new episode of Left 4 Dead - will tell the same history; the last one nevertheless will center on the step of the original cast along a different area while in The Passing, Louis, Zoe, Bill and Francis will join the cast of Left 4 Dead 2 to escape of the horde of infected.

And no, there will not be a cooperative way for eight players (sigh); in his place, the IA will control the personages of the original cast during his passage for L4D2. As bond for compensation, a new type of “common special” of infected will make debut in The Passing also: The Fallen Survivor, who will throw his team once exterminated.

Now then, if they were thinking to pass for The Passing without paying good toll, bad luck, it is not a question of a free expansion - not in this opportunity - and Valve only has said that he will announce the price more on the final date. I reward consolation: A digital comic-book of Left 4 Dead illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming and led by the original cast will accompany The Passing.

He is dead: Alan Wake says goodbye of the PC

Like that it is, buy 360, or burn … and do not forget to give us his money with Windows 7. In the words of Micro$oft:

Some games are better qualified for the intimacy of the PC, and others are played better in the armchair opposite to a screen of bigger TV. Ultimately we notice that the best way of enjoying ‘Alan Wake‘ was in the platform Xbox 360, so we concentrate in doing an exclusivity of Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have a long trajectory in the games development for PC. This decision was a question of coinciding to this specific game with the correct platform.

A tráiler and images, of what it could have been:

Finally: Beta of Starcraft 2 in days

In the same way that EA, Activision-Blizzard has assembled his investors, and convinced that they spend his golden coins in his games. And so, World Of Warcraft is supported with the same quantity as players as in 2008 (that is to say, it has not grown) - to what is blamed to the conflicts with China - and, of dessert, it has been announced that scarcely 30 % of the new players of WoW overcomes the Level 10. What truly we are interested in, beyond all these fascinating details, performs all forms the fact that so much Cataclysm - the expansion of WoW - as Starcraft 2 comes this year. In summer.

Starcraft 2 heads for any steam to the premiere of his beta, event that will happen “at the end of this month” and of that we can inform together with the rest of the universe route the new Battlenet.

As for this new Batllenet, it has been designed by Greg Canessa, who in his epoch was entrusted of the systems design in the service Xbox Live for 360. Thus Battlenet will always be provided with a service online, games agent, and his derivatives. Oh, and Starcraft II will be able to be unloaded from there the day of the throwing.

EA: Dragon Age 2 in development, Crysis 2 in Christmas, Dead Space 2 in consoles, and more

A fat innovations bag has just exploited, interspersing the curious EA plans for the future of his exemption. And so, Dragon Age 2 will be between us in 2011, Dead Space 2 will disappear of the PC, and Crysis 2 does not have another thing to be waited to appear under the Christmas tree.

Digestion of innovations then:

• Dragon Age 2 comes in the last trimester of 2011 - or “dangerously soon”, in other words.

• EA has lost too much money to compare it in mortal terms, kneading during this tax year 25 % less in comparison to the previous year.

• APB and Medal Of Honor continue road surfaces for 2010, with the last one making debut in September. For his part, APB comes in only a few months.

Crysis 2 comes in Christmas. It will develop in the city of New York mostly, and other places. There will be new skills with the nanosuit (to climb buildings, for example) and characteristics to improve and to personalize in the suit (Armor, Power, Precision, and Infiltration) and, of dessert, three are the features that dispute the Big Apple (Military men, Aliens, and mystery).

• Dead Space 2 is a consoles exclusivity and, hence, it will not be in PC for the prompt thing.

• The Old Republic "might" go so far as to appear in spring 2011.

Finally, a little how to have nightmares in the night: EA has promised that all his future qualifications will have some type of online component and DLC post-throwing.

Clic in this linkage to listen to the official, and fiscal word, of EA for his 2011.

Dante's Inferno unties epic advertizing hunt in Internet

Undoubtedly, when of teams of marketing it talks each other, the managers of convincing us on Dante's Inferno have insured themselves of qualifying for a cozy corner in the eternal fires or, at least, finally they have proposed something interesting.

In the past, the advertizing campaign involved the property development companies offering like “objects of lechery”, the checks mailing for $ 200 to the games critics, and a group of “picketers Cristianos” the E3 showing his displeasure with the game opposite to - that EA hired, for assumption-. Now, nevertheless, the things have happened to take a more creative greatly less controversial, and enough tonality, putting thousands of fanatics in a frantic search of eggs of Easter to be done by a juicy bond.

Kotaku was alerted with regard to the code source of Digg.com, that was showing an image secret ASCII on the principal page of the portal together with a code. For mere curiosity, the writers of Kotaku decided then to check their own code source (again, on the principal page of the place) and, oh surprise, they met on another image and code - identical to the presented ones in Gamespot.com and of the what ones the team of writing did not have the minor idea-. Rest of Internet continued so, and similar images and his passwords appeared in places like IGN, Daily Motion, Games Radar, and WWE.

What was the intention of all this? Very well, as soon as six passwords were gathered, it is enough to direct towards this another promotional place to enable the discharge of a juicy bundle of bonds, with music, wallpapers, posters, a PDF with conceptual art, and other bonds of the game. Undoubtedly, a splendid way of spending brooch to this one more than peculiar advertizing campaign of Electronic Arts, who has set to speak to the whole Internet on the ambitious of Dante's Inferno.

And if, for these coincidences, they did not have the sufficient time as to check the code source of so many places, here the keys are to meet on the sinful treasure:

• excommunicate – (of Digg)
• scythe – (of IGN)
• grafter – (of GameSpot and Kotaku)
• styx – (of Daily Motion)
• unbaptized – (of Games Radar)
• alighieri – (of WWE)

Each one corresponds to six earnings of HellIsNigh.com; enjoy.
