Hands on: Xbox One Gamepad review

2013-06-03T11:21:00.003-07:00

Following a full day of presentations, interviews, tours, tech demos and teases of the Xbox One's game-changing potential, the powers that be at Microsoft finally let us get our mitts on the new hardware's controller.
While our time with the gamepad doesn't allow us to tear up the blacktop in Forza 5 or command a SEAL Team canine in Call of Duty: Ghosts, it does provide a peek at a few of the 40-plus improvements that have been made over its predecessor.
Before diving into six separate demos tailored to show off the controller's enhanced rumble tech, Microsoft senior product marketing manager, Navin Kumar, states "precision, comfort, and making gaming more realistic than ever" were the driving forces behind designing the new gamepad.
In terms of precision, Kumar points out that the analog sticks respond to inputs with 25 per cent less force, delivering a far more accurate experience. He also claims its d-pad allows for "crisper inputs, "perfect for "sweeping movements in fighting and sports games."

Feeling the full effect of 'impulse triggers'

While our hands-on time affords little opportunity to test this improved precision and accuracy, it does allow our thumbs and fingers to feel the full effect of what Kumar refers to as "impulse triggers." Like the 360's controller, the Xbox One gamepad features left and right triggers, used for everything from scoring headshots to flooring gas pedals.
However, the One's controller significantly ups the immersion of these interactive experiences thanks to the addition of motors housed in its triggers: in addition to the pair of rumblers located in the hand-grips - as they are in a 360 controller - the One's peripheral adds one each to both triggers.

It tickles... seriously

As demonstrated during our hands-on time, the tech is being used in a number of ways to intensify the immersion factor. With a press of the Y button, we're able to fire up a helicopter's propeller and a sports car's engine. While these interactions would yield near-identical vibrations with a 360 controller, they feel entirely unique through the One's triggers and sticks. By programming four separate motors, two of which now tickle the sensitive finger tips, the peripheral is able to convey astounding nuance and variety in its vibrations.

On top of differentiating between an engine's powerful roar and a chopper's spinning rotors, the quartet of motors allows us to experience how it feels to pop off a few rounds from a hand-cannon and summon a fireball in the palm of our hand. While the former feels much like it does in any contemporary shooter, the latter - thanks to a slow rumbling build-up, leading into a more intense vibration - yields a sense of empowerment we can't wait to unleash the next time we barbeque baddies in an RPG.

Our final two demos, simulating a ticking heart and braking car, are the most impressive. The pumping brakes deliver a realistic halting sensation the likes of which we've never before experienced in a racer, while the heartbeat - delivered by alternating pulse-like vibrations in the two triggers - feels scary-real. In fact, we're guessing the latter effect will significantly up the fright factor in survival horror games; imagine navigating a dark corridor or derelict space station in complete silence, all while the protagonist's racing pulse thumps beneath your fingertips.

Early Verdict

Based on our time behind the Xbox One's controller - whose ergonomic design will feel comfortably familiar to 360 owners - the impulse triggers seem to hold the most promise and potential for putting players that much deeper in the experiences of rearranging zombies' ribcages with melee weapons, roasting trolls with fire balls, and racing across finish lines.
That said, a number of subtler features, such as magnetic sensor-equipped triggers and a battery case that no longer protrudes from the back of the controller, hint at the many ways the next-gen peripheral will provide more precision in your games and comfort in your hands.

The Softies slimmed down the battery case

Our hands-on time barely scratches the surface of its promised 40-plus improvements, but our satisfied fingers and thumbs are already anticipating what other surprises the Xbox One's gamepad has got hidden beneath its buttons, sticks, and triggers.

P.S I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGISE FOR NOT POSTING FOR SO SO LONG I HAD SOME PERSONAL SERIOUS PROBLEM WHATEVER I AM BACK HOPE YOU ENJOY MY NEW POSTS AND AS I CAN SEE FROM THE VIEWS WITHOUT ANY POSTS STILL OVER 1000 VIES PER MONTH SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT NEXT POST COMING SOON...

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Brings Hardcore to Wii U

2012-10-04T09:53:00.002-07:00

The best thing about Monster Hunter, unsurprisingly, is the monsters themselves. The iconic dragonlike and super-mammalian beasts in this series are among the most impressive creatures in gaming, and also among the toughest challenges. Take one look at the snapping jaws and electrified serpentine form of a Lagiacrus or the evil eyes and hyper-aggressive movements of a Tigrex and you know that you can expect an epic battle. Only after you know everything about a monster – where it likes to hide, how it limps when it’s weakened, which of its attacks you can block or dodge – do you stand a chance of bringing it down.
The best thing, though, is encountering a new monster for the first time; one whose movements and character you don’t already know. That’s the draw for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, if you’ve already earned your Rathalos armour in previous instalments. Although it is in most ways exactly the same game as 2010’s Monster Hunter Tri, it brings several new monsters to the party, along with subtle improvements and embellishments to everything else. If you’re not already a Monster Hunter fan, then this is the best time ever to jump in, whether on 3DS or Wii U – both versions are the same, and you can transfer your save between the two if you buy both (more details on that here).

Most noticeably, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U is HD, something the Wii couldn’t manage: it’s 1080p native. Unfortunately, though, it’s only been retextured rather than rebuilt in HD, meaning there’s still some blockiness to get used to. Tri was always a good-looking game, especially on its background, but in HD its graphical imperfections are more obvious – you can see the edges of the monster models more clearly, and the beautiful distant vistas you can see when you look out over the edge of a cliff don’t look quite so impressive in high definition, where their lack of detail is more exposed.
This is minor, though, in the context of such an excellent game (I really loved it), and the other improvements – especially the vastly cut-down loading times – more than make up for it. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate boasts about 50% more content than Tri, but most of it sequestered away in the upper levels of the game (G class quests), so you’ll have been playing for a good long time before you see any of it. At Tokyo Game Show, Capcom showed off one monster that’s new to Western Monster Hunter fans: the Brachydios.

“

Brachydios is a cross between a poisonous rhino and an extraordinarily aggressive, volcanic T-Rex.

Best described as a cross between a poisonous rhino and an extraordinarily aggressive, volcanic T-Rex, Brachydios enjoys slobbering explosive neon-green saliva all over its stumpy arms and then pile-driving you into the ground with them, leaving a residue of slime wherever it treads. He’s clearly a distant, vastly more dangerous cousin of the less dangerous Barroth, a mud-loving rhino-like monster that rumbled around the desert in Tri. Unsurprisingly, he kills me pretty quickly, despite the high-level armour and weapons and unrealistically-elongated health bar that I’ve been endowed with for the demo, but I get a good few stabs in on his shins with a gunlance before the green nodes on his head start to glow read and he erupts into rage mode. The monster stamina system has been expanded in Ultimate, letting you see more easily when a monster is weakened or hurt. They tire out more visibly.

Monster Hunter is at its best in multiplayer, when four people can complement each other’s strategies and weaponry, but in single-player Ultimate lets you bring two AI companions along: Cha-Cha, the little dude from Tri, and another wee chap called Kayumba. Cha-Cha and Kayumba sing stat-boosting songs and have the odd stab at a monster during battle, but their real purpose is to draw a monster’s attention away from you, letting you get a few hits in whilst the beast’s attention is focussed elsewhere.
The Wii U gamepad's screen shows your map (that might not sound important, but trust me, it really is) and can be used to fiddle with your inventory, which is hardly imaginative, but certainly utilitarian. Having a second analogue stick makes the camera easier to wrestle with, but the real godsend on both Wii U and 3DS is a targeting button that lets you actually lock on to monsters for the first time in the series' history.
At the moment I’m in two minds about whether Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate does enough to justify slogging through the early stages of a game I’ve already played for 100+ hours all over again. If you weren’t a Tri player, then great: you’ve got a lot to look forward to in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – it’s as accessible as Tri, which was the first game that really made Monster Hunter easy to get on with for beginners, in my opinion. If you were a Tri player, though, then you might not feel overly inclined towards killing another 50 Royal Ludroth and Great Jaggi, working your way up from nothing again to get to the really good extra stuff.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is out on both 3DS and Wii U in March 2013 in America and Europe. As well as the improved graphics, it’s the Wii U version’s online functionality that will give it the edge over the portable version for many players; like previous portable Monster Hunter games, Ultimate is local-multiplayer only on 3DS (you can read some Tokyo Game Show impressions of that right here). You can also play local multiplayer with one Wii U console and three 3DSes, if you have three friends who are up to the challenge. Monster Hunter is as vast and as hardcore as action-RPGs get; it's a huge score for Nintendo's Wii U line-up, and not just for Japan.

Crysis 3

2012-09-27T09:59:00.001-07:00

The hunted becomes the hunter in the CryEngine-powered open-world shooter Crysis 3! Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York in the year in 2047, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.
Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL's covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet's quest for retribution.

Borderlands 2 Review in Progress(Daily updates on our journey across Pandora.)

2012-09-12T08:24:00.000-07:00

It's just about time to kill some skags, hoard guns and earn heaps of experience. To get you in the mood to read our upcoming Borderlands 2 review, we're running a series of articles leading up to our verdict, coming this Thursday, 9/13 at 9PM PST. We'll cover topics like the loot system, the story and more, giving you a taste of how I'm feeling about each along the way. Read on, Vault Hunters, read on.

Day One

My name is Anthony and I’m addicted to loot.
There’s something endlessly exciting about watching shiny things spill forth from someone I’ve just pumped full of lead. And in Borderlands 2 this happens about every five seconds, as you’re pretty much constantly thrown a stream of enemies to blast.

Guns are the primary type of loot you’ll come across, and developer Gearbox was only kind of kidding when they advertised “gazillions” of weapons in earlier promotional videos. The limited number of augmentations for weapons means several of them will work similarly, but the stats are randomly generated in such a way that I’ve never seen the exact same weapon twice. This means that every time I’m fighting challenging enemies there’s that buzz of excitement, that sense that the next shot could very well secure me something better than I could have expected.
Of course there’s always a chance that the randomly generated stats could also result in an awesome weapon type I don’t typically use, but it really comes down to how you like to play (and you can always sell duds for cash). Borderlands 2’s four classes each have preferred weapon types, but they can use any of them, and sometimes you’ll want to deviate from the norm because you find something that’s simply too badass to pass up on. For instance my main is a Commando, whose talent points have made him particularly awesome with assault rifles. This perfectly suits my playstyle, as I’m particularly aggressive and like to get in fairly close and unleash a stream of bullets. However, at one point I came upon a pistol that fires like a shotgun and becomes increasingly accurate as I fire. The bullets fly slow as hell, but when they strike…let’s just say it’s painful. Very, very painful. My commando still uses his fair share of assault rifles when he’s at a distance, but until the next lucky drop, this pistol is here to stay. He’s just a bit more of a gunslinger than the John Rambo he once was. Maybe he's a bit out of character now, but you can't argue with the gigantic critical hit numbers that pop up every time the bullets slam into meat.
Outside of guns, Borderlands 2 presents ample opportunities to let your stats-obsessed side come out. Some of the most enticing drops end up being shields and class mods. Even the most boring shields have varying stats that affect their recharge rate and time before they start to recharge, but rarer pieces of equipment do cool things like explode in a burst of fire when depleted, which can be a huge boon when you’re surrounded. Class mods too have a dramatic effect on the way you play, with randomly generated stats that directly augment your talents and can give you dramatic boosts to important things like reload speed or damage with a particular weapon type. They can even give you boosts that apply to anyone else you’re playing with, making them particularly useful and great loot for the more party-oriented among you.
One thing I complained about with the original Borderlands was that for all the loot you got, none of it allowed you to change your appearance. This is a shooter first and foremost, but there’s enough RPG elements in Borderlands that it always felt bizarre that I couldn't do more to change my appearance. Even a few armor slots I could swap out to further augment my character would have been great. Borderlands 2 didn’t go the armor slot route, but the team at Gearbox did add a ton of new skins to switch between. Customization here is a bit disappointing in terms of how bare bones it is, as you can only change up the entire skin of your head and your body, but it’s still better than the even more limited options from the first game. At least now you can play an online match with several other people using the same class and clearly tell who’s who. And, if nothing else, it gives you yet another type of loot to chase after through the first playthrough and beyond.

So far Borderlands 2 is doing basically everything right with loot: it’s abundant, it changes up your character constantly, and it’s exciting to pursue.
Expect more updates on Borderlands 2 throughout the week, with tomorrow’s focusing on how Gearbox is doing with the side quests and storyline.

Day Two

The main story of Borderlands 2 is already shaping up to be loads better than that of the original (which was admittedly pieced together almost as an afterthought), but the sidequests are what have me hooked. They’re where the Gearbox’s writing staff chops really show, and where they get to take Borderlands 2 way, way off the rails.
When and if you pick up a copy of Borderlands 2, you should never, ever skip a sidequest. You could barrel on through the story if you really wanted, but you’d be doing yourself a great injustice (and probably making the game way harder since sidequests help you level). The main story gets a bit too serious for my tastes sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I like a tale that tugs at my heartstrings or gets my blood pumping, but that’s not what Borderlands is really about to me. To me it’s about the type of humor we saw in the General Knoxx or Claptrap DLC, where dick and fart humor is mixed with clever wit and references to pop culture.

Hence why I’m loving Borderlands 2’s sidequests. Here’s where you’ll encounter the four bandit brothers who live in a sewer, eat pizza and are named unsurprisingly akin to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or where you’ll be tasked with hunting down porno mags for the town’s redneck mechanic so he can relieve some sexual tension while he pursues someone “distantly related.” That probably sounds a bit low brow when you read it, and sometimes it is, but it’s always delivered well and peppered with plenty of thoughtful innuendo that makes it feel smart.
Sidequests are also where you’ll get to know and better understand the various characters of Pandora. Yeah, you’ll meet plenty of strangers and even make a few acquaintances by simply playing the main story, but if you want to better understand who they are and where they’ve come from you gotta take the time and do their bidding. For instance one sidequest I did for a crazy woman named Tannishad me collecting recordings stashed throughout the environment. While seemingly pointless, gathering them gave me insight into a time when she was tortured, helping make sense of her tragic madness. Sound a bit too heavy for you? Don’t worry, there are plenty more quests where you’re doing something far more stupid, such as hunting down monsters called Bonerfarts or getting belligerently drunk in a bar so you can crash a wake and murder everyone in a hail of gunfire. Even when the quests are silly and seemingly pointless they reveal more about Pandora, showing you just how harsh, brutal and ugly this backwater planet can be.

I know I didn’t really talk too much about the main storyline, but that’s because it’s good enough that I just don’t want to spoil it for you. Even with its predictable twists and turns it’s turning out to be something worth experiencing fresh. If you loved the first Borderlands, and maybe even fell for some of the playable characters, expect to be pleasantly surprised in Borderlands 2.
Check back tomorrow for a new update about Borderlands 2’s reworked interface.

Activision Reveals Walking Dead First-Person Shooter

2012-07-08T03:34:00.002-07:00

Activision has announced a new game based on The Walking Dead. Not to be confused with Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead adventure game, Activision’s version is a first-person action game based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show.
Developed by Terminal Reality, The Walking Dead will revolve around Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle on a “haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.” Players will control Daryl as they attempt to avoid detection from zombies that hunt using sight, sound and smell and will choose between fighting them or using stealth to avoid detection. According to Activision, “No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.”

Supplies will be scarce and players will need to carefully manage food, ammunition and supplies as they make their way through the game. Daryl will encounter “a slew of other characters” along the way that can help or hurt him. Whether or not these characters accompany Daryl is completely up to the player and “represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive.”

The Walking Dead will hit stores in 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Few other details are available, but check out the game’s official site for more info in the future. Until then, keep an eye out for all the latest announcements about The Walking Dead TV show before it returns to AMC for season three later this year, and be sure to bookmark IGN's The Walking Dead Video Game wiki to stay abreast of the latest details.

Skyrim Invades Minecraft You got your Skyrim in my Minecraft

2012-07-06T10:31:00.002-07:00

While we recently put up a piece detailing how Skyrim PC players can mod some of the Dawnguard's functionality into Bethesda's epic RPG, what about those of you that don't own Skyrim at all? Well, if you own Minecraft, a team of super-creative and inspired modders can give you a simplified take on some of Skyrim's mechanics, all set within Mojang's silly and blocky sprawling world.

While currently far from finished, Skyrimcraft already has a number of standout features, including Dragonshouts, a merchant system with a Skyrim-esque interface, and new sets of armor and weapons that correspond to what you'd find in Skyrim. Future plans also include adding dragons, quests and a custom world that better represents Skyrim.The team behind the project also encourages feedback, and has put out the call for additional help to get the mod in a more feature-rich state.

If you want to try the mod out for yourself, you should either check out the Minecraft forum posting or the official developer blog. If you're interested in some other fantastic Minecraft mods, check out our previous highlight for info on how to add cool new content like blocks, or that make your life easier by automating some of the work you'd normally do.

League Of Legends

2012-07-05T08:49:00.000-07:00

Built using the same principles as the wildly popular Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III, League of Legends gives each player control of a powerful champion unit in a team-based battle to destroy each other's bases. real-time strategy elements, like AI controlled foot soldiers and turrets, and roleplaying features, like leveling abilities and buying better equipment, provide lots of variety and flexibility. The popularity of this Defense of the Ancients gameplay style seems to be rising with the release of not just League of Legends, but also Demigod and Heroes of Newerth.
With so many options on the market, it can be hard to tell just which of the games is right for you. Whichever way your own personal tastes are leaning, there's a lot to like about League of Legends. The game design is relatively direct but still has a lot of nuance, and the core strategies are basic but still allow for multi-layered tactics. On the downside, the game's official launch status is still a mystery with no clear reason for the abundance or shortage of various features throughout the game.

It's important to keep your minions safe or the other team will chew them up.

The highly inventive champions are clearly the best part of the game. The developers have created something like forty different champions you can choose from, from hulking brutes to nimble archers to stealthy assassins. The visual style is very charming, so you'll see mad scientists, giant robots, jesters, little girls with dolls, big-headed mummies all fighting it out with explosive and colorful visual effects. As you defeat enemy AI minions and champions you'll level up and gain access to even more powerful abilities that allow you turn invisible, fire missiles, set glue traps and a host of other options. Heading out into the field of battle with these effects at the ready is an awesom feeling and at higher levels you can really chew through enemy minions and even other champions. Each champion has his or her (or its) own abilities but one of the downsides is that there can seem to be almost too many much to choose from at times. Fortunately, you can filter the champions based on the general characteristics you'd like and even investigate their abilities and read tips for fighting as and against them. Even so, it can be hard to settle on a favorite, much less determine what your opponents are likely to do. Sure, you'll soon learn that Ashe hits at long range and can slow you down, but you'll spend a lot of the early game being surprised by your enemies. Fortunately, there's a less competitive solo practice mode where you can fight against entire teams of bots.
Leveling up your abilities is only half the story. As you kill the AI minions, destroy turrets and slay other champions, you'll also be earning gold that you can use in the item shop. Unlike Defense of the Ancients, there's just one shop here and the items are all laid out in smart groups. So if you know you need mana regeneration, you can just flip to that page and see all the items that confer that ability. Better still, you can see all the combinations at a glance and can even buy finished projects for the full price of all the items it contains. It makes for a much faster way to customize your champion and get right back into the action.

It's possible to win against the odds, but you're better off working in groups.

There's a persistent element to your character as well. As you level up you'll be earning points you can spend in a few different skill trees that help you further refine and customize your individual champions. You can also equip various runes to help you in certain areas, like magic resistance or health regeneration. Having a persistent element that exists outside of the individual battles discourages players on the losing side from quitting outright, but it also increases the pressure on new players to get good fast. Though some of the champions tend to play the same way, the level of variety is incredibly high here and it's to the designers' credit that most of the champions are interesting and competitive. We've found a few popular ones that we hate and some quirky ones that we love.
If you liked the colorful and bright style of Warcraft III, you'll like League of Legends. The game's visuals are very lively, particularly when the more outrageous spell effects start flying. It's not to everyone's taste, but I like the stylized approach. It can sometimes be a bit too much when lots of folks are involved in a fight, and at that moment it can be particularly difficult to pick out targets or even your own health bar, even when zoomed all the way in. The audio side of the game is generally pleasant with solid music and effects, but I can do without the repetitive unit acknowledgements.
Strangely, our two main points of criticism for League of Legends aren't actually about the game itself and instead have to do with the confusing launch and the attitudes of some members of the community. It's not exactly fair to let circumstances outside of the developer's control influence our overall opinion of the game design but they still have to be considered to the extent that they'll influence the fun you will (or won't) have if you decide to try the game.
We just came off the recent disaster of the CrimeCraft launch, and it looks like we're in similar territory here. Whether motivated by the publisher's schedule or financial necessity, League of Legends was released before it was ready. Some features are missing and some features that are currently part of the game will be removed and then sold in the game's store, which launches on November 17. The idea that players are enjoying features that they will have to pay for at a later date is almost as obnoxious as having to play the same map over and over again in multiplayer. We know there are more in the game, but why aren't we allowed to play them?

The visual effects are very nice but can be a bit distracting in the large battles.

Things are even more aggravating and confusing for players who bought the thirty-dollar collectors edition and are now playing with the exact same feature set as players who simply installed the free version. The differentiation is sure to become more apparent when the store launches, but until then, the fact that the publisher is charging people for a game that's available for free is pretty dodgy. While it might be fair to lay some of the blame for the open beta feel of the launch at the feet of the game's creators, it's impossible to fault them for some of the more unfortunate attitudes in the community. The problem is that League of Legends is built around a popular mod for a popular game (which itself has a notoriously hostile community), so there are a lot of players who hit the ground running with a solid understanding of the mechanics and little patience for newcomers. This is especially true given the relatively long length of the individual matches. Matchmaking should solve this to a certain extent but if the system can't find players of the appropriate level, it becomes less and less discriminating.
Again, neither of these issues really affect our overall opinion of the game design, but they are matters that may drastically impact your actual enjoyment of the game itself, particularly if you're not already familiar with the tricks and tactics of Defense of the Ancients.

Putting snow down does not make it a new map.

Closing Comments

There's a lot to like about League of Legends. The game design is enjoyable and there are tons of great champions with nearly limitless customization options. The strategy elements are sound, and it can be fun to just pick a lane and start chewing through minions as you work your way towards enemy towers and champions. But sometimes it feels like League of Legends throws too much at the player, both in terms of the number of champions and the general confusion of the larger battles. While that's not enough to dampen your enthusiasm of the game, the vague status of the launch and the more-than-occasional hostility of the community just might.

Namco Bandai Developing Next Smash Bros. Looks like a new team will be developing the next Smash Bros. project.

2012-06-25T01:56:00.003-07:00

UPDATE: A few new details have been revealed regarding Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Tetsuya Akatsuka (the art and sound director for the SoulCalibur series) and the main development team from the Tekken series will be working on the project alongside Director Yoshito Higuchi (Tales of Vesperia) and Producer Kenya Kobayashi (Ridge Racer).
