PS4 vs. Xbox 720: Console Wars

Now that another generation of console systems is around the corner, what gamers have dubbed “The Console Wars,” are about to heat up. Sony has already briefly introduced the world to the firs bit of info regarding the Playstation 4, and now Microsoft is set to reveal the next Xbox next month.

As has happened for every console cycle before (since the days of Sega vs. Nintendo), certain consumers will flock to one of the systems to give it unrelenting praise while seemingly treating its competitor like a plague-bearer. These people, known to man by the derogatory term of “fanboys,” will fervently state their opinions to anyone who they think might listen about why their console of choice is the just and only respectable option, (which generally means anywhere on the internet where one of the consoles are being discussed).

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ gets five new

screens for the holidays

Rockstar Games has released five new images early this morning for their upcoming open-world crime title, “Grand Theft Auto V” as a holiday gift to fans. The new visual screens show off high glossed images from San Andreas and “Grand Theft Auto V’s” new trio of playable characters that gamers will take control of when the game releases in the spring of 2013. Particularly of note in the image round-up are the watery scenes depicting a small submersible and a character scuba diving in shark infested waters as it will be a franchise first to allow gamers to explore underwater in “Grand Theft Auto V.”

Borderlands 2 set to have a larger,

expansion-sized DLC add-on next year

Gearbox Software has already told fans in the past that the level cap in “Borderlands 2” will eventually rise above the current cap of 50. Yesterday, the developer told IGN that this change will come sometime during the first quarter of 2013. It wasn’t specified whether it will be on the fourth Season Pass DLC or an additional add-on since it has been confirmed that Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt won’t be including a level cap increase when it releases next month. Gearbox has also already stated that more content, including additional character classes, will be making their way to “Borderlands 2” after all first season content has been delivered.

Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software, also tweeted a message yesterday that informed players that they are currently “working on a big add-on/expansion for next year with deeper progression.” Perhaps this larger planned DLC will be when fans will finally be able to raise their characters above level 50 in the game.

Dark Souls II to have dedicated

multiplayer servers, teaser site

launched

Namco Bandai has officially announced the existence of “Dark Souls II” in a release from the Japanese developer last night. From Software has revealed that the sequel to what many fans claim to be one of the hardest games ever created, “Dark Souls II” will be releasing on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. A new teaser website for the game was also launched today, which will inform fans with information from the upcoming title when it becomes available.

Perhaps the most important bit of info given about the upcoming sequel so far is the change to the game’s multiplayer network. In the first “Dark Souls,” gamers connected in a peer-to-peer format with one player hosting the session. “Dark Souls II,” however will feature dedicated game servers that will host all players on a single networked system.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’

leaderboards are now working again

After an update was applied to “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” earlier this morning, the game experienced issues regarding its multiplayer leaderboards and the ranking system was disabled for repair. While players were still able to play online matches in the game, none of the results of those matches were getting recorded for purposes of updating the leaderboard rankings in “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2”. Developer Treyarch announced this afternoon, on their Twitter page, that leaderboards have now been reinstated. Better yet, gamers who played earlier in the day still got their progress recorded and should find their entries placed in the leaderboards in the coming days.

the story behind the art of the game

Gearbox Software announced yesterday the upcoming release of a new companion art book showcasing the many works of the artists who brought “Borderlands 2” to life. The 200 page hardcover will give fans a look at new never-before-seen assets from the “Borderlands” development team as it shows gamers everything from early concept pieces to the finished 3D models from “Borderlands 2”. The artists behind the works also fill fans in on the creation of the designs with behind-the-scenes commentary straight from the people responsible for the look of everything gamers see inside the game.

The Nuketown 2025 multiplayer map

for ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’ gets

pulled

Gamers who pre-ordered “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” were given the free multiplayer map, Nuketown 2025, to use in the game. Today unfortunately, the full-time access to Nuketown 2025 was pulled from the game when this past weekend’s double experience bonus event ended. David Vonderhaar, the Game Design Director for “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,” tweeted the unpopular message earlier today. It was clear that Vonderhaar knew the news was going to be controversial since he added the note, “don’t kill the messenger” to the end of his tweet.
