'The Last of Us' New Mulitplayer

It was just a few days ago actually that i had posted why you shouldn't miss 'The Last of Us' multiplayer and now there giving us even more reason not to miss out on it with a new (free) dlc for another multiplayer mode. Currently there are only two modes with Supply Raid and Survivor now we have the introduction of Interrogation mode.

As i am a big fan of The Last of Us online this just gets me even more excited and the mode does sound pritty damn cool. Basically, the interrogation mode comes down to the usual 2 teams; one team protecting a safe and another trying to break into the safe, assuming its a safe full of supplies for your clan. So what they attackers have to do to find the location of this safe, is to interrogate 5 members of the opposing team to get enough information to find the safe. When the team has located the safe it really turns into a basic death match to kill the other players and get to the safe and get the supplies.

The interrogations themselves are said to be like special execution kills but will take a longer time to actually perform, meaning if you're caught in the act it'll be rather easy to kill you. What im interested in though is how this will work with the end result. For example the modes just now, even if you lose and die so many times, you can still walk away with enough supplies for your clan to survive. I would like to think, if this is a safe full of supplies the losing team would walk away with nothing meaning there clan will lose members making this mode much more tactical than the others as winning is the key factor.

This mode in my opinion works brilliantly with the game and im really excited for it to come out and think most fans of the multiplayer will no doubt be pleased with what naughty dog are bringing to the franchise.

Are you excited for more of 'The Last of us'? and are you hoping for a story mode dlc? let me know in the comments.

Concerns about Beyond Two Souls

This is a game im really looking forward to, with big film industry names of Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe its sure to be a big hit when its released, right? Well with the game trailer above it describes the game, the concept and really what its all about, but with all this information it does raise a few concerns.

First my concern is the  gameplay aspects of the game. Its said that you can control both Jodie Holmes(Ellen Page) and her entity that is connected with her, Aiden. My concern about this aspect is how the game will work both of these concepts together and for it make sense. Will it be a case that you can always control Aiden or will it only be some missions that you can use it. With a number of game play videos it is quite confusing with actions scenes of Jodie and other aspects showing how you use Aiden, so with a few months still to be release its a game that not everyone is fully certain on the actual gaming aspects of the game. 

Another big concern is the span of the story for the game. The plot is based around Jodie Holmes and you will take her through a journey from the age of 5 to 23. What concerns me about this, is the fact that that is a lot of years of a lot of again confusing gameplay. It sounds like this could be a great story and would stand brilliantly with a good movie but a game? It is a tad iffy in my view. It could turn out to be amazing for sure but everything ive seen so far just looks like a good story and how the gameplay will work with the story is my biggest concern with this game. The video above shows like a number of different Jodies, for example the young girl to the Gothic themed and then the early twenties. What i want to know is how the actual gameplay will work with this large scale of the developing character. Sure stories within games are becoming bigger hits with AAA titles, like The Last of Us. But the gameplay aspects have to be apparent from the outset and everyone knew with The Last of Us what basic gameplay to expect. With Beyond Two Souls it isnt as clear. 

The game will have Drama, action and a thrilling story, but how the gameplay will make this a good game and not just a story, to me, is unclear. One thing is for sure im really excited about its release and anticipating something great.

Watch the video above and Let me know what you think about Beyond Two Souls and if you have any concerns about the game.

Xcom: Enemy Unknown Review

Xcom: Enemy Unknown is a tactical piece of art with its 2 turn based gaming style it brings something new and fresh to the table that is difficult, time consuming and very enjoyable.

The game brings you into a world where alien life has took home on earth and there main cause is destruction, this sparks the Xcom mission to rid the world of these extra terrestrials and calm the panic across the globe. You play as the commander and your objective is to control the Xcom squad in killing off the aliens and restore the peace within the world. Your role as the commander is to control basically the whole operation and the completion of the game lies on your shoulders.  Giving out instructions to what the scientists should research next, what the engineers need to make and build for the next project, where to put satellites across the globe to intercept UFO's, these are just a few of the many things you have to control as commander of the Xcom operation. All these aspects are easy to learn but hard to get right. Numerous hours can be spent on putting out satellites and interceptor ships but one small overlook can have a country in panic and this is something that you dont want to happen.

" So it is very important you learn the best tactics..."

With each country having its various benefits to the operation ; more engineers, more scientists, squad members, money, equipment and more, it is futile that you tend to the needs of every country to create a well structure organization. This deems very difficult as anything can go wrong at any given moment. If you decide to take on a mission to wipe out the alien life forms after a UFO crash, deploying your best men, equipping them with the best utilities you have and still fail, the whole operation will be hanging by a thread and it is very difficult to restore peace within the country that you have failed in. So it is very important that you learn the best tactics with the different squad types to stop failure being an option.

" you feel a strange attachment to these characters ... "





Tactics and soldier variety is the real beauty that sets this a side from any other game. Hiring a number of soldiers, all beginning at rookie level, it is your job to take them to the battlefield and promote them through the ranks creating different attributes and abilities for each. With a maximum number of 6, the squad can vary from Heavy, Assault, Support and Marksmen each with there own type of equipment to create a well based squad for any mission. But having variety in soldier isn't enough on the battlefield. Being tactically smart is the key in winning any mission. As you are met with a number of different enemies also with different abilities you have to take a real understanding in how the maneuver on the map and you have to be careful when positioning you squad. You have only two turns to position where you want your soldiers and what to do, one slip up of maneuvering can see one of your best men die on the field and it will leave you heartbroken. That's right, heartbroken. As the game has such depth with the customization of your characters, creating the way they look, how they fight and even renaming them with nicknames you feel a strange attachment to these characters and watching them fall on the battlefield is a tragic event.

" ... they come off dull and you feel no real emotion for them "




The same however can not be said for the supporting cast. As you progress you are met with a number of other characters within the research labs and engineering labs that lead you through the story but they come off dull and you feel no real emotion for them as they dont develop much as individuals. There is also the cliche of the council dictating your every move who seems to be bald man in a dark room that you never see, makes you lose any connection to the supporting cast creating a mundane story at best. 

Nonetheless, Xcom: Enemy Unknown is tactically splendid and will have you sitting for hours putting the world back to its original form and destroying all alien life form reducing the panic across the globe. With a mix of tactics behind the scenes and on the battlefield each aspect will have you satisfied with what youve accomplished outweighing the poor supporting cast and unexciting story, leaving a more than enjoyable game for tactical lovers.

                                                              8 out of 10

PlayStation Plus Games of the month JULY

Before buying my PS plus subscription i found it rather difficult to actually find the games on the web that were available for this month. There were a countless number of websites that gave me previous games that were available but nothing very clear on what the new releases were. So after purchasing, i was very pleased with the games and it will be something that i will be buying more regularly i thought i would do a monthly post of the games to look out for with PS plus and the others that are available.

Each month i will show my two favorite games of the month and the others in a list that come out to keep things short n sweet.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown -

This is by far my favorite of the selection from PS plus this month. Its a type of game ive never played before  and its just brilliant. Its a nice tactical game and anyone who likes hard thinking games where u need to out smart your enemy it is something you should consider playing. A real gem in my opinion.



                                         







                                                                                                              Saints Row the Third -


 Fun, stupid, over the top game play creates a fun game worth checking out. The customization you have within the game i thought was very nice and you can create your character to look basically like anything you want. And for the gameplay its generally fucking stupid, but far too much fun to give it a miss.













The others for the month of July include:

PS3

• Battlefield 3
• Uncharted 3
• Payday - The Heist 
• Little big Planet Gokarting
• Catherine
• Demon's Soulds
• ICO & Shadow of the colossus

Battlefield 3: Where have i been?

I'm sure everyone knows what Battlefield actually is. If you dont, its a first person shooter developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts. It is also the 11th installment of the franchise and was release in 2011.

Now being a 'fan boy' of the Call of Duty franchise ive never really bothered getting into Battlefield and never really gave it a chance. This choice in life is by far my most regretful decision of my past 2 years of gaming. Within the release date of Battlefied 3 (2011-present) i have purchased 3 Call of duty games, as each year they have a new installment, so if we take an average of £40 a game ive spent £120 on Call of Duty alone. Battlefield on the other hand did not use this approach and have only released the one game within that time scale, really because it stands the test of time and there is no need for another installment as dedicated fans and new players like myself are still playing all around the world. This means all this time i could have made one purchase in first person shooters for the past 2 years.

With the Call of duty series i was beginning to buy them each year just hoping it would be as good as the likes of mordern warefare 2 or even world at war, where i spent countless days playing over the summer. But each installment just wore down and that hope was dying off. In recent times of the newest installments ive just not been having fun playing them and find most frustrating and at times tedious. At this point after purchasing Black op 2 on release i felt perhaps i have outgrown games of such a caliber. I felt that maybe first person shooters with online multiplayer just wasnt for me anymore ... until a few days ago.

" it is everything you want from a mulitplayer first person shooter and more."

A few days ago i purchased Battlefield 3 for a whopping £8. I thought i may as well give it go and maybe i can consider it for the next installment coming for Next Gen consoles and it is a refreshing delight. Even in being 2 years old it is everything you want from a multiplayer first person shooter and more. The maps are fun and creative and very spread out almost open world like. The game modes although few of them are just what you need for diversity in gameplay and tactics. It feels like a game you dont just run about crazy in. There is some strategy needed to get the objectives and everything about it is just a well layed out refreshing change from the call of duty franchise. 

" ... such a tense affair that you will be loving every second of."





What also makes this game more fun is the mass destruction and chaos within the games. No other game can you be hiding behind a wall from a tank and the wall explodes and crumbles before your eyes leaving you fully exposed. No other game will you be sitting on a rock camping waiting for the enemy and they fly over head in a helicopter and maul you and everything that surrounds you. Trees fall, objects explode, cover is blown to pieces and it creates such a tense affair that you will be loving every second of. 

Ive only played the game for a few hours and even when i get my assed handed to me its just such a fun experience and it blows my thoughts of call of duty out of the water. If you, like me, are a call of duty 'fan boy' diverse youself and indulge in the temptation of Battlefield 3. I'm living proof you wont regret it.

The Walking Dead Episode 1 / Part 4

"A New Day: The Motel"

We arrive with Carly and quickly find Glenn with ease. He informs us that he has heard a woman crying in a locked room and he wants to save her. We cant leave anyone behind and decide to attempt to save her but it wont be an easy task. There are a number of walkers scattered throughout the parking lot of the garage. Two upstairs covering the door where our damsel in distress is, one lying on a car, another distracted by eating a dead body, one behind a caravan and finally one more next to an Axe. We sit tightly behind a brick wall and consider our options.

We pick up a pillow near the wall incase it might be useful for god knows what. We move along the wall and next to a truck near the walker lying on the car. We run over to the walker with Carly, swiftly put the pillow over its face and one silent gun shot through the pillow kills the walker. One down. We open up the car that the walker was lying on, picking up a spark plug and pulling down the hand brake, we push the car toward the walker next to the Axe and the car crushes it against the wall and trapping it in the process. Two down. We move back to the truck noticing a screwdriver inside on the passenger seat. We use the spark plug to smash the window with little noise and take the screwdriver. We run back to the start against the wall near the walker which is still intently eating at the corpse.  We run as fast as we can before it notices us and smash the screwdriver to the back of the head of the walker. Three down. We run passed and next to the caravan. We whistle to distract the walker at the other side of the caravan to come closer to us and one blow to the body with the screwdriver and another deadly blow to the head. 4 down. We move back up to the walker trapped by the car finishing him off with the screwdriver so we can take the axe. We silently move upstairs and with ease take out the two walkers blocking the door with the axe two clean blows to bring them down.

We shout to the woman locked inside and its clear she doesnt want to be saved. We take the matter into our own hands and burst the door down. She comes out covered in blood. Shes been bitten. She is aggressive from the outset wanting to use Carly's gun to kill herself but we wont let it happen. She jumps at Carly trying to take the gun and the struggle collapses the balcony and we crash to the ground. The gun breaks loose and the woman gets the gun and pulls the trigger. This leads to many walkers surrounding us, so we rush to one of the cars and make our way back to town before its too late.

We return to the town and into the shop and not much has changed with Larry is still hanging on. We have to get those keys to open the door and fast. We speak to Doug who lets us outside behind the gate. Its a tragic scene with walkers everywhere. But we are in, unfortunate, luck as we see our younger brother sadly as a walker trapped under a pole and we know he will have the keys. We use a remote we found earlier in the shop and turn the TV's on across the street to distract the walkers, a few take notice but not enough to get to the keys. We bust open the gate to reach a nearby lying brick. We launch the brick at the TV store smashing the windows the light and noise attract enough walkers for us to quickly make our ways to the keys.

Its a tough encounter as our brother tries to attack us. We have a quick heart felt moment to say our good byes till we reluctantly have to plunge the axe into his skull. We get the keys and run as fast as we can back to the shop as the walkers begin to take notice of our arrival.

As we get into the shop and open up the pharmacy to get Larry's medication the alarm is set off which turns the group into a state of panic. Loads of walkers begin to take notice of the shop and are crowding round to push there way through and into the store. We try and help Doug and Carly to keep the door shut but its too much, walkers are getting in through other sides of the shop. Carly leaves to try and fend some off as does Doug. Clementine passes us our dads walking stick that we put through the door to stop them getting through and jamming the door shut.

"NOOOO"

Doug standing by a window smashes and walkers grab him from behind.

"AAAAH"

Carly at the other side out of bullets is grabbed at her ankle by a walker and cant reach for her ammunition.


Its Decision time. Its either Doug or Carly. Who do we save.

With hardly any time to think we save the person who we owe most to. Carly. We run and hand her the ammo which she loads and shoots the walker at her feet and another walker that was close by. We turn to see Doug pulled through the window and mauled by the walkers. Kenny comes through shouting for us to hurry. We run and Clementine is taken down by another walker. We rapidly kick the walker down to free Clementine and run for the door to leave.

"I dont think so"

Larry blocking the door way smashes a fist down on us knocking us to the ground. Once again groggy on the ground we see Kenny burst through and slam the Axe down by our side right on top of a walkers head.

"No way will i see someone else taken by another walker, especially not a friend like you."

Our loyalty to Kenny pays off as he saves us by the skin of our teeth.


We escape and make our way back to the Motel. The group is scattered and still in shock from what has happened. Glenn lets us know hes making his way to Atlanta to try and find his friends. We know its something he has to do and we let him on his way. We pass through the group and comfort one another. We are then confronted by Larry who informs us that he knows all about what we've done and he knows we are a convicted felon and that we need to stay away from his daughter ... or else.

The group decide to stay at the motel as it has some water and we can use the cars to barricade the entrances. We all think everything will be OK hopeing we can hold out here till the military find survivors. Kennys states he has had worst places to live and as long as we have light from the motel sign we can be OK here as we have the advantage of seeing whats what in the dark. And as the words confidently come out his mouth ... Darkness.

To be Continued Next week on the Next episode of The Walking Dead "Starved for Help"



Thanks very much for reading and i hope you enjoyed the First Episode. And i would like to share the first episode statistic with whoever has read these to see how we compare to others who have played the game.

Honesty: Lied to Hershel? Myself and 37% lied to Hershel meaning a large amount of people told the truth 63% to be precise.

Who would you save?: Duck or Shaun? Myself and 49% of people save Duck meaning 51% save Shaun. How could you let a child die? You heartless people.

Loyalty:  Side with Kenny? Myself and 48% of players defended Kenny. Again more so doing the opposite with 52% not defending Kenny.

Mercy: Gave Irene the gun? Myself and 55% of players refused the gun. Meaning 45% were happy to give her the gun and get it over with asap.

Who would you save?: Doug or Carly? Myself and a whopping 76% of players chose to save Carly. Poor Doug.

The Walking Dead Episode 1 / Part 3

"A New Day: The Town"

We arrive at the town with no petrol left in the truck. We depart and move into the town hesitant from the destructive scenes before us. We are quickly met by a herd of walking dead and are immediately surrounded. Duck is grasped and taken down. It doesnt look good,Then BLAM! One clean shot is fired through the head of the walker that was toppled on Duck. A woman to our rescue shoots off another two and another man shouts us to enter a local shop getting us to safety just in time before we're surrounded by more of the dead.


We enter to a very hostile environment with a number of people displeased that theyve opened the gates and let us in not knowing who we are. We reassure them that we have children and there is no need for this hostility. One of the older men is furious with the decision and is lashing out at Duck. He thinks he has been bitten and is adamant that we should kill him. We show our loyalty to Kenny by protecting him and his Son. We get aggressive implying we will kick this old mans ass if he doesnt keep his mouth shut. Conversation is aggressive and emotions are high. We tell Kenny to kick his ass and knock him out. Kenny takes a big swiping arm and lands a sweet hit on the jaw of the older man. He retaliates with a big hook to Kennys face knocking him to the ground with ease.

"AAAAAAH" Clementine, who at this point has been trying to go to the bathroom, is attacked by a walker that was locked in there. We quickly rush to her aid falling in the process, probably due to the fact of our still injured leg. Groggy, we get up as fast as we can and push the walker off Clementine before she is hurt. We crash into a shelf and are toe to toe with one of the walkers. We rapidly try and push the walker off but it is a massive struggle. BOOM. The head of the walker explodes before our eyes. We turn and the same woman who saved us outside and done it again, just in time.

The oldman still furious and shouting falls to the ground. His Daughter comforts him and knows whats wrong. He needs his pills and has a heart problem. We offer to help and look for the medication to ease his pain. This point we are introduced to oldman as Larry his daughter Lilly. They are accompanied by a small fat man Doug and the woman who has saved us on 2 occasions Carly. We are also met by Glen who tells us that he is going to go to a motel  to get gas so we can leave this dreaded town. We pass him a walkie talkie and tell him to get in touch if need be and let him on his way.

We walk around the shop and have to find a way behind the shutters to get to Larry's medication. We wander picking up various supplies of energy bars and speak to each person to try and get to know them a little better. But enough procrastinating and we head for the door to search for a way to get the medication.

More information is clear that the shop owners that are not here are your family. We find a smashed photo of  our self, our mum, dad and brother. Carly enters the room unexpectedly and confronts us. She knows who we are and what we've done. She informs us that we are Lee Everit and that we killed the senit for sleeping with our wife. We keep quiet and inform her we want no trouble and there isnt any need to tell the others. She accepts comforting us that she wont tell anyone and lets us on with our task. We move a desk out the way of the door that leads to the pharmacy behind the shutter, but unfortunately the key for the door is locked. Unsuccessful so far we find out that Glen is stuck at the motel when he was trying to get supplies for the group. We get Carly and make our way to save him and bring him back putting the medication to one side hoping Larry can hold out a bit longer. Will he survive for when we get back?

The Walking Dead Episode 1 / Part 2

"A New Day Part 2: The Farm"

We leave the house and see two men trying to push a car out of the hectic abandoned road. We approach and are mistaken for the walking dead. We quickly assure them we are OK and do not intend to harm them and are just looking for some help. When questioned by one of the men our relation to Clementine we advise we are a neighbor he takes notice of this, as does Clementine. We greet and exchange names of the two men, Shaun and Ched. Conversation is short as we have to rush to get the car out of the road to get out of the town as the walkers quickly  approach. We quickly help and push the car out of the way and make our way for the truck that we intend to use to escape. A very close call as we jump into the car with Ched leaping into the back as walkers just miss our grasp.

This leads us into the night as we journey with the two men to a nearby farm. We are greeted by Shaun's Father, Hershal Greene the owner of the farm and we are interrogated from the outset of our whereabouts and our relations with Clementine. We choose again to explains we are a neighbor to Clementine which she agrees and tells him She is aware of who we are. Hershal kindly tells us we can stay the night and we will need to be on our way from there. He helps fix our injured leg still with a number of curious questions of our whereabouts and what our business is. We feel we have to lie as first impressions are everything and we dont want to explain that we were in a cop car on our way to jail. We tell him we were leaving Atlanta but mistake in saying we were with no one, Hershal is weary of our presence and it is very noticeable that he does not believe what we have said. Either way he lets us on our way to rest in the barn. One restless sleep later, with nightmares and screams which can be assumed to be of Lee's Wife, we are awakened by Kenny.

Kenny introduces us to his enthusiastic son Ken JR other known as Duck and his Wife Katjaa. We part with Clementine and are asked by Shaun to help with fixing the fence round the farm to protect it from walkers. We speak with Kenny first and learn he has a boat and offer a helping hand with the truck he intends to use to leave the farm with his family. He kindly declines and leaves us to help with the fixing of the fence. We meet up with Duck and Shaun at the back of the farm. Shaun is hard at work with Duck having fun on the tractor. Shaun expresses his opinion on what hes seen so far in the world as is turns for the worst. He tells us he has had to see a kid be shot not knowing if it was a walker or if he was just asking for help. We discuss family encounters keeping most information minimum as it stands.We cut the pieces of wood as Shaun's asks us to do so and leave. Shaun thanks us for the help and lets us know he is glad he didnt leave us behind.

We walk to the barn to speak to Hershel. He grinds us for the lies we told him the night before but doesnt make too much of it and gives us some advise for the future that we will have to trust a strangers judgement and that we will have to make hard decisions to stay alive.

"EUGHHHH"

Screams from behind the house are loud and halt the conversation with the rumbling sound of the tracker within the background. We run quickly to the back of the house where Shaun is lying trapped under the tractor with walkers inches away trying to break the fence. Duck is sitting upon the tractor and is grasped and pulled down by a walker. A split decision must be made. Its either to save Shaun or Duck. With no time for hesitation we run towards Duck and help the child first. We punch the walker twice till it loosens his grip on Duck and he is broken free. Meanwhile Shaun is cluttered under two walkers and is mauled by the walkers, Hershal shoots the walkers that surround him but it is much too late.

Hershal Screams and threatens everyone at the farm to get out and leave him be. Kenny offers us a lift into town which will help us progress in our journey. It is clear that Hershal no longer wants us at the farm with the death of his son. We accept and progress into the town. What other threats will lie in the town and will there be a safe place to lay low for us to survive?

The Best Games of E3

So with the sting of E3 still in all our minds and the anticipation of all the great games that are coming our way for the Next Gen Consoles us gamers are at a high buzz. What games are we most excited for and were we impressed from what we saw? Well these are a few of my favorite games of E3 sections from Xbox One, Ps4 and Multiplatform.


Xbox One

Now i thought what we were shown at E3 was brilliant. A world in which you create and can change as the game plays. From what was seen at E3 they created a town square and a number of characters were created and there was an awesome fight against goblins. But as you play you can control the world and create things to your advantage and it really did look like a very creative and fantastic game.

It was only a small taste but they have said you can create massive environments creating a number of characters with personalities and enemies to fight so there is a number of possibilities on how you can play this game, exclusively for Xbox One.


Ps4

Being a fan of the infamous series it was fantastic to finally see some gameplay in action for the new installment. This Infamous is an open world game and sees you take control of the character Delsin Rowe who has been described as a much different character from previous Cole Macgrath. He has similar power abilities however this time with smoke and its very interesting to see how it will fully work in the game.

Rowe differs greatly form Macgrath as he takes the role of the hero with confidence and has amoe arrogant side than the previous character. Not much has been told about the story but what we saw from E3 will have the fans ecstatic for the release, exclusive to Ps4.

Multiplatform

There were two games that have got us talking from E3 and the two of my favorites, as i could not just pick one included:

YES. FINALLY. GAMEPLAY. At E3 we were finally presented with some gameplay of how Destiny will look and it looked awesome. Slick graphics and a nice open world you can explore fully online with friends and others. The Demo we received was nice and really showed off what we can expect from the game and it has everyone buzzing and can potentially be one of the best games if it all works.

Heres a wee screen shot of the game as the two players went in to fight a tank like robot and everything that happened just looked beautiful. Also from the gameplay it was clear that it  took a big approach and i think will be a big part of the game and that thing is  loot. After they defeated the enemies they received a bunch of loot from weapons and some sort of currency probably that can be used in the game. Loot seems to be a big thing with games as people love it and it gives them a sense of purpose in the game. But what we seen from the game was brilliant.


Moving on to my favorite game of E3 and it came as a surprise to everyone and was kept very well under the radar for the event.

Now i dont think anyone saw this little gem coming and thats exactly what it was, an absolute gem. An online open world game in a post apocalyptic setting which just looked amazing. We saw at E3 a few players roaming the world and were attack by assumingly other online players at a run down building site.

This is a big game and we dont know too much about it, but it takes the theme of previous tom clancy games such as ghost recon which i personally love and enters in a beautifully run down and crumbling world. Hopefully we will see more to come with the next few months but this is a game that personally i will anticipate until its release.

E3: Microsoft Vs Sony

Now as E3 has finished the conversation between the console war is hotter than ever, but what did each company display at there conferences and what has us excited for each console and what aspects of the consoles make us want to buy them. Here i will  breakdown how each conference differed and some good selling points.






E3 kicked off with microsoft. Now a lot of people may have wanted some answered to various aspects of restrictions and games, enough of the tv aspect and show us games. And i think Xbox fans wouldn't have been disappointed in what they were presented with.

Firstly they came out to tell us though that there is a new xbox 360 model coming out and that Xbox live gold members will be getting 2 free games every month, similar to what Playstation do with some games for there plus members.

They then went on to discuss the Xbox one, stating that they will not be using Microsoft points but in standard currency for the likes of DLC's. They also discussed how you interact with the console and how you can view other players progress in real time. Also the console records some of your gameplay and also upload Live what your playing to Twitch tv which is an awesome feature for people who love to show off there gaming skills.

Games, this is where Microsoft surprisingly delivered showcasing a number of exclusive games. Now i wont go through them all in detail but i have produced a list of the games they showed.

• New Halo
• Titan Fall
• Ryse: son of rome
• sunset overdrive
• killer instinct
• Forza
• Quantam Break
• D4
• Crimson Dragon
• Project Spark

Microsoft showed some demos and trailers for these exclusive also presenting some exclusive contents for the mulitplatform games such as Battlefield 4. Now there is quite a number of exclusives for Xbox one and will have Xbox fans buzzing as a new halo has been announced and beautifully creative games like project spark being announced will sure to excite gamers everywhere. The console will be available in November and is priced at £429.

Moving on to the Sony conference. First off the went on to showcase what the PsVita has to offer in its 2nd year of the market. It went on t discuss how its for indie developers and that 85 games this year will be presented and it discussed that remote play with the ps4 will i guess work? but that function will only show when the console is out. The games that were presented for the vita were the likes of Killzone, tearaway, god of war trilogy, Batman and games of flower and dead nation coming as well. Also a new bundle will be available with the first season of Telltales The walking dead game with the Vita console.

What was good about the sony conference was that they showed a lot of gameplay. And for the Ps3 it was no different essentially showing off the final games that will come this year. The gameplay that was shown was more of The last of us, the pupateer, Rain, Beyond two souls and Gran Turismo. It also went to show the multi platform games of Batman and GTA 5 showing off some exclusive content with each game and a new bundle for the GTA5.

Finally for what everyone was there for to see the Playstation 4. However they started off pritty slow. They discussed a number of times how they focus on fans and the content they produce is tailored for gamers then they went on to discuss music and video features. They told us about an exclusive program plan and movies will be available for rental. A number of features and apps that Xbox one presented in there reveal with the likes of netflix and flixter apps. A start that was not too much exciting. Only exicting part was they finally showed off the console which really looks very similar to the xbox one. As i saw someone state on twitter its xbox one in italics which is bang on.

They finally went on to the games and exclusive PS will have. Again i wont discuss them all but have produced a list of what they showed off. Making note each game showed actual gameplay.

• Killzone Shadow fall
• Infamous second son
• The Order 1886
• Drive Club
• Knack
• Dark Sorcerer
• Final Fantasy
• Kingdom of hearts

A few short of what Xbox presented at their conference and with 4 games from that line up already being shown some may be slightly dissapointed. However it was very nice to see atual gameplay of the games that definetly got gamers excited. They also went on to discuss some exclusive content to multi platforms with the like of watchdogs.

They again went on to discuss how there about the gamers and a console for developers and they got out a number of indie studios that are making there games exclusive to Ps4 which is nice for the people who live indie developed games. They also showed us a remake of Abes oddesy and any playstation fan will be drooling at this. Well i know i was, but i may just have been drooling as it was approaching 4 in the morning but still its exciting nonetheless.

They also presented gameplay of destiny but i will go in that more detail at a later date. All you need to know is it was awesome.

Finally they got down to some technical stuff but really it was as slow and agonizing dig at Microsoft to be honest. Ps4 will be supporting used games which is delightful news and what it should be in  essence when you buy a game you have all rights to do whatever you want with the game, sell it, trade it and share it with friends. No online connection is needed and you can play your games as you like online or offline with no checks for connection hinting at what microsoft have done, stating they wont be doing the same. This aspect of the console could differ on what people get. As casual gamers who love the games that come out for both consoles may side with the ps4 as when they buy the game they can do what they want with it really.
The Price of the Ps4 will be £349 but no announcement of the release date was made.

Still the feud between the consoles is strong and it will go on for years to come but it really does come down to preference in the end. Which exlcusive games will you enjoy more will persuade the gamers and really some die hard fans of microsoft and sony just wont change. Regardless of the console war Each console showcased the Next Gen consoles brilliantly really showing off what they have to offer. The Next Gen consoles are with us and they surely did not disappoint.

Which Consoles is for you? 

Thanks for reading and be sure to check later where i will discuss the games im most excited for, exclusively and mulitplatform

E3: The Console War

The Next Generation Console War. Which will come out on top at E3?


Well its still hard to decide. From both reveals there have been mixed reviews on what came out on top. But lets take a step away from which is better. We're here to discuss what we want to see from our beloved consoles at E3.

As i have stated previously both companies took different approaches to there reveals. A recap Sony took an approach really to get developers out and talk about the games there making exclusive to Ps4. Where Xbox decided to speak about all the individual features that there console can provide.

So what do we want to see from each console?


PS4: Well a starting point for Sony would be to show the console. We've only seen so far what the controller will look like and blurry images of the console. Although its not the most important thing to be honest as we want to know everything the console can actually do. Sony displayed a number of exclusive games that had PlayStation fans in awe, but what we want to see is individual features that separate it from the competition as well. Perhaps they will go more into how you can share game play clips and perhaps they willo show the different features the touch pad on the controller can have. Maybe more games? who knows but Sony are sure to bring everything theyve got to blow us away.





Xbox One: Xbox showed a lot of nice features on there reveal and they showed the console. But thats it. What us gamers want to see at E3 is games. Will there be any exclusives? apparently there is a confirmed number of how many exclusives but we have no idea what they are. From the feedback they got from the reveal the fans have had enough of the features they can offer and they want to see games.


They want to know what makes this a better GAMING console. Will Microsoft deliver what the fans really want?


In my opinion exclusive content is essential in the console war. Its what will separate the consoles whether it be for gaming  or entertainment, Sony and Microsoft really need to decide what root they want to go down and what fans they want to enjoy there consoles. Exclusive features and games that are designed for one console will have to be compared to the other to really show which is better. Its not the Call of Duty, Watch Dogs and Fifa etc, those games will perhaps define the Next Gen consoles as a whole, but what we want is games and features that define the specific console and show what  they can bring to the gaming world and prove to us why they are better. So both Sony and Microsoft really have to bring everything they have.

E3, Regardless is sure to be a fantastic and thrilling event that we are all excited for. Will both consoles deliver at the event? Will one walk away victorious before the consoles are even out? There is only one thing we can do and that is sit tight and wait for E3.

E3: Games, Games, Games

So E3 is very very close with only days to go till the big event and with it brings the Next Generation of gaming. Its probably one of the most anticipated E3 events in a while. But what do we want to see at the event?

Of course its games, games and more games. Its what gets us gamers excited. With a number of games that have been confirmed for showing at E3 its sure to be a spectacular event that will have us drooling for more and there are a number of games that are getting us excited for both new and 'old' consoles.


What games are we excited for?

From the creators of Halo a game that really is under the radar. Now it is one of the most anticipated games of E3 but that because the developers have not showed much of the game. Its had teaser trailers and they've spoke about the experiences you may have in the game and what to expect. But what were excited about is how big the game is actually going to be and how we will interact with the massive span of world that Bungie are creating for us. As the developer stated in interviews Destiny really will speak for itself at E3.

Another installment of the Fifa franchise. Now we all now what Fifa is capable of but this fifa will be the first of the Next Generation and thats why were excited. Sure all fifa games are fun for the footballing fans but what we want to see is how this changes the experience we already know and love. The fans want to know how this will be better than fifa 13. Will this be the Fifa that changes the game for the better? or will it just be a few tweaks from the previous installment? E3 will be sure to show all the new features.

One of the most anticipated games for the PS3 this year and is really a sending off point of what the Ps3 can bring. I have previously spoke about the last of us and we've been shown loads of what the game is about and how it will play. So why is it at E3 4 days before release?  What were hoping for is the part of the last of us we've not seen yet, Multiplayer. Naughty dog have confirmed multiplayer will be integrated but we just don't know how yet. So naughty dog are sure to show how multiplayer will work and if it will be worth it. Such games with amazing long stories don't actually have good multiplayer and it comes across as just an add on. Will the last of us be different?

A prequel to the previous installments of Batman and has been confimred for showing at E3. Weve not been shown much in sense of gameplay and that's sure to be what will be presented at E3. Weve been given a CG trailer that's told us Deathstroke will be a character in it, Which personally i'm very excited about, and it was an awesome trailer at that. But as there have been a number of Batman games well be sure to find out what makes this one different and how it will better the previous games.

These are just a few of the confirmed games that will be at E3. And it would be a novel if i spoke about them all individually, a great novel nonetheless, but it would just be too much. So heres a list of some more games that are most anticipated for E3(not all are necessarily confirmed):

• Assassins Creed
• Ghost: Call of duty
• Battlefield 4
• Beyond Two Souls
• Deadpool
• Gran Turismo 6
• Killzone
• Metal Gear solid
• Need for speed
• Mario Kart (Wii U)
• Quantam Break
• Saints Row 4

And theres many many more to check for E3.

E3 will be on the 10th of June and it is destined to be an amazing event that will show everything we want to see.

Be sure to check us out in a few days, where ill be discussing the console war and what we want to see from the Next Gen at E3.

Ps4 Vs Xbox One

So with Ps4 showing a teaser video on the 20th of May of what the console may look like and Xbox One revealing there console on the 21st of May its clear that the Next Gen consoles really are round the corner.

Today I'm just going to break everything down and show what each can offer, also showing a list of games that have been confirmed for each.

Obviously there will still be the divide of what console is better but both companies did take different methods in how they presented the consoles. Ps4 took the approach of getting developers out and speaking about what games there going to be making and how you can share game play clips through social media and PSN. Where Xbox took the approach to present the amount of features they have. Including how they can skype and watch tv on the console. So it seems that Ps4 is more based for gaming and the Xbox is more of an entertainment system than a games consoles in my view.

The Differences

Shown below will be a list of Features that each have and the difference between them.

Feature                  PlayStation 4                    Xbox One

Optical Drive          Blu-Ray/DVD                    Blu-Ray/DVD

Game DVR             Yes                                   Yes

RAM                     8GB GDDR5                    8GB DDR3

Storage                  N/A                                  500 GB Hard Drive

CPU                     Single Chip x86 AMD        8 core Microsoft CPU
                             Jaguar processor 8
                                    cores

Portable                    PS Vita                              Smart Screen
Devices

Cloud Storage             Yes                                     Yes

Always Online             No                                     Maybe
 Connection

Backwards                 No                                       No
Compatibility

Skype                        N/A                                    Yes

Motion Control         Dual Shock 4                      Kinect 2

Subscription               N/A                                  N/A
Fee

Reputation               Trophies will be               Achievements will be
                                   ported                            ported

Web Connection      Ethernet, IEEE                Ethernet, WiFi
                                802.11 b/g/n

Bluetooth                  Bluetooth 2.1                   Bluetooth 2.1

A/v Hookups            HDMI                               HDMI
                  


As you can see from the specification there is not much difference. I think the defining factor of what console will be better will be the games that are brought out for each console. Obviously you will have the games like COD and Fifa and the likes of Watch dogs that will be made for both consoles but its the exclusives that will separate which one will be better. However there is also a preference in peoples opinions on what they want from there console. If they want it for an entertainment system for the likes of using it for Tv services Xbox would be the way forward or if they want a gaming console Playstation may be your preference. As i do feel Playstation 4 is more of a gaming console.


Games, Games, Games

Below is a list of the games that have been confirmed for each console.

PS4:

• Deep Down (Capcom)
• Destiny (Bungie)
• Diablo III (Blizzard Entertainment)
• DriveClub (Evolution Studios)
• Final Fantasy (Sqaure Enix)
• Infamous: Second Son (Sucker Punch)
• Killzone: Shadow Fall (Guerrilla Games)
• Sniper Elite 3 (505 Games)
• Knack (Studios Japan)
• Thief (Square Enix)
• Watch Dogs (Ubisoft)
• War Thunder (Gaijin Entertainment)
• The Witch Hunter 3 (CD Projekt RED)
• The Witness (Thekla)
• Black Light Retribution (Zombie Studios)
• Primal Carnage (Lukewarm Media)
• Assasin Creed 4 ( Ubisoft)

These are the games that have been confirmed from the Ps4 Reveal

Xbox One:

• Assassins Creed 4 (Ubisoft)
• Battlefield 4 (EA)
• Call of Duty: Ghosts (Infinity Ward)
• Destiny (Bungie)
• Fifa 14 (EA)
• Forza Motorsport (Turn10)
• Madden 25 (EA)
• NBA Live 14 (EA)
• Quantum Break (Remedy Entertainment)
• Thief (Edios Studios)
• UFC (EA)
• Watch Dogs (Ubisoft)

These Games were confirmed on the Xbox Reveal

With the likes of Fifa and Cod these will be made for both consoles. So from the reveal there is a big difference in the amount of games that have been announced. Ps4 have announced more exclusive content that will only be available to them in a gaming sense. As stated before i do feel Xbox is more of an entertainment system and Ps4 is more of a Gaming console. This really is only the start of the Next Gen consoles and much more will be shown over the coming months so there will be a great deal of time to decide which console will be for you if any.

But the rivalry between both consoles is far from over and lets be honest even when released and the figures show how many are sold the argument of what console is better will always be as strong as ever. It really is down to a personal preference in which you like better. Be it for an entertainment system or a gaming console its still to be decided. However I'm sure both consoles will shine in there own way and present different features and games to make them unique. With both being released for later this year speculation on what will be better will be a fun and passionate argument for many years to come. 

What console do you think will be better ?
