Infinity Ward's Character Driven | Call of Duty: Ghosts

With Infinity Ward moving away from a major series of Call of Duty, Ghosts main focus will be character driven.  The teams working on Call of Duty: Ghosts  show interest in the single player aspect, calling it a much more "emotional" experience.  The team wants to keep the player involved while delivering story with the characters actions and those of the squad around him.  

Zach Volker, the lead animator on the team, tells The Guardian , “What we're trying to do this time is focus more on being a character with other characters, telling the story of how they experience the events. It's still a Call of Duty title so don't expect long cut scenes or anything like that.”  adding,
“We're not trying to make it an open-world game, and some levels will be more scripted and corridor-like. But there are levels that have been purposefully designed to be very open.”

Also with Stephan Gaghan to put together this story, a screenwriter best known for his work on films like "Traffic" and "Syriana," it will likely be more grounded than the "Modern Warfare" and "Black Ops" arcs.

The Official Call of Duty: Ghosts Reveal Trailer


Ghosts will take place in an entirely new timeline with a brand new set of characters. It is set in the aftermath of a catastrophe that has destroyed America as we know it.  A decade after the devastation, a band of ex-spec op soldiers known as "Ghosts" are waging guerrilla warfare against a currently unknown enemy.

Call of Duty Ghosts is set to be released November 5, 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and for the XboxOne and PS4 when the consoles are released at a later date.

Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 HUD Patch And Accolades Trailer

  
I had to add this to the blog, which I know many of you have this game already, I must say you made a very wise choice! Far Cry 3 is a spectacular game, but although it's a great game, there are also many complaints players have with Far Cry's busy screen game clutter or as you might say a heads-up display. Having to look up at the screen all the time being told what to do can be a big mess especially for gamers that are really good and don't need all that clutter.

Ubisoft announced an upcoming patch which will allow players to tweak the HUD to their liking. The company stated that the upcoming patch will allows users to simply strip the entire thing out. “Based on feedback from both press and fans, the Far Cry 3 production team is working on a patch that will allow you to toggle most HUD/UI elements based on player preference,” - Ubisoft representative, whom wrote in Kotaku.

No release date on the patch, but this news will help alleviate the complaints. Hopefully it gets released soon!

Mass Effect 3 - 'Rebellion Pack' DLC HD Game Trailer - PC PS3 X360

This is the new launch trailer released today for the new 'Rebellion Pack' DLC due out today on Mass Effect 3 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. For some information on what will be released check out the information below or head over to BioWare Mass Effect 3 blog area. It has all the details of this free Download content.

NEW CHARACTERS
Vorcha Soldier

• Thanks to their unique physiology and their Bloodlust ability, the Vorcha are joining the fight and are perfectly suited for the utilitarian soldier kit.

Vorcha Sentinel

• The innate aggressiveness found within the Vorcha make them shockingly durable combatants, and when coupled with their Flamer skill, the Vorcha sentinel is a force to be reckoned with.

Male Quarian Engineer

• Quarians have spent centuries at perpetual salvage and ship repair; the survival of their species depends on this technical expertise. When bringing the new Arc Grenade to the fray, the Quarians prove their prowess as effective engineers on the battlefield.

Male Quarian Infiltrator

• The Male Quarian Infiltrator must actively rely on stealth while in the heat of battle, and when they make use of their Tactical Scan ability, they quickly prove their mettle while continuously dishing out the pain.

Ex-Cerberus Vanguard

• When the Illusive Man turned to indoctrination in order to ensure the loyalty of his troops, many Cerberus operatives defected and joined the Alliance in order to stop the Reapers. Now that we’re on the same team, Ex-Cerberus Vanguards (along with their new Lash attack) are quickly proving their worth.

Ex-Cerberus Adept

• A result of the Illusive Man’s early experiments in enhanced human physiology, Ex-Cerberus subjects are highly skilled combat and biotics specialists. As a result, Ex-Cerberus Adepts can lay waste to the enemy with their Smash and Singularity powers.

NEW MAPS

• Firebase Jade – Surrounded by huge waterfalls, Firebase Jade overlooks an ancient reservoir built by the salarians centuries ago. Set up strategic chokepoints inside the base’s main buildings to get the jump on your enemy, and work with your team to meticulously clear each room to achieve victory.

• Firebase Goddess – Nestled in the epicenter of a Thessian metropolis, Firebase Goddess is one of the last strongholds of asari resistance against the Reapers. With its circular layout, Firebase Goddess is a tough location to control. This arena combines heavy cover and elevated firing positions, so stay light on your feet.

NEW WEAPONS

• Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle – These Cerberus-modified Mattock rifles are fully automatic. Cerberus gunsmiths reined in the recoil issues, resulting in a gun that stay on target, but delivers slightly less punch per round than a standard Mattock. As such, the weapon is typically utilized by Cerberus’ elite troopers, who train constantly to make every burst count.
• Reegar Carbine Shotgun – This electrical weapon improves upon the arc pistol’s design by generating a sustained current on its target. This weapon is named for the Quarian Reegar family, whose marines have served valiantly against the Geth.
• Krysae Sniper Rifle – This Turian antimaterial rifle is modified to kill Reaper enemies. The Krysae’s scope uses a rangefinder that adjusts to keep the target in proper proportion to the shooter, which comes in useful when the sniper is forced into close range. Its specialized ammunition is both armor-piercing and explosive. In a desperate move, the Turians released its specifications over the extranet so that nearly anyone with a fabricator could manufacture this weapon to help the war effort.

EA Announces Crysis 3 Release Date

EA announced during its annual investor conference today that it plans to invest up to $80 million in development for games on the next generation console systems in the fiscal year of 2013.  EA also provided investors with a firm release date on Crysis 3, which they say will release in the first quarter of 2013.

The original Crysis first released on the PC, and Crytek thinks that the community is deserves its rewards, especially in the visual department.  "We're definitely pushing the game a lot from a visual standpoint, and for sure there's going to be visual goodies in it that you can only get if you have a super-high-end PC," Crytek says it will offer high-end PC users extra "visual goodies" when it releases next year.  "At the same time, we want to ensure if you don't have a super-high-end PC, the game will still look amazing.  On top of that, we want to make sure the experience is not different from platform to platform," Hojengaard continued.

Set in 2047, 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.
