Mafia 3 on its way?

Remember this great game Mafia 2 that I could not play that much. Well according to a Gamespot thread on the forums, some domain got registered for the game Mafia 3.

Here the screenshot that I don't from what program:

Time will tell us if this thread was real and good or not!

(Mafia 2 flasback)

A bit of deception on Battlefront but it could be all fine

Nofrag point me to a good article that claim they had an interview with the dev.


So the most important say that the AT-ATs will  be on a track so it is impossible to control or drive it.


But it will be possible to fire its guns and use the orbital strike; Both things I've seen a video of the E3 and was looking good. It is unfortunate that this vehicle can't be control but Dice tell us will be all good for the gameplay; I guess that if the AT-ATs was controllable, the game would change so much that it would be not as good as it is meant to be and it would not be like the movie either: I guess that sometimes that AT-ATs would not even reach anything, like the generator, and it would not be good for the story gameplay and linear multiplayer fight they want to bring.

Other news is the there is no more space fight in Battlefront like it was possible the past two. I never played it anyway and while I'm interested, I don't mind much.

Last thing, it appear that I can't be in but anyway I'm not playing Alpha, beta tester does this, it appear that the game will enter in close alpha the 2 of July. You can get access from I don't know where in Origin, IGN claim.

Rise of the Tomb raider video interview with dev(game director)


This interview appear to be from last week E3 and I'm not sure why it got posted here. Anyway still good.

Brain Horton from Crystal Dynamics and two other guy from IGN give a nice interview that I'm going to resume here:

I found out that what we've seen in the E3 demo was something at very early game and not the beginnings like I though. If the last Tomb Raider was somehow open world or semi free world it appear that the new one will have level or hubs like say the GD that are 2 to 3 times bigger. And he say there is going to have a lot more stuff to do in the levels now. The game is not only going to be in Siberia, there is also the desert and other climate. He than claim that Lara is surnatural what I'm not perfectly agree with with my life development and thinking so far. So like in all Tomb Raider, we're going to have exploration, puzzle and combat and he say that the combat will be "more" now. As I have see in a video of gameplay, maybe he is talking about tank gas and alike that you can take and trow in fire near the soldier that you have just trap and everything blow. Also swimming will be in now and just like the rest can be done in the "free world" that I make you remember is more a semi one to I expect because of what we've seen in the past one. Hunting will be a big part of the game and it now not just give xp but stuff to craft things. Cool crafting in Tomb Raider. And finally there is some new stuff for better graphics and it's about lightning effect.

TB report on Batman: Arkham Knight: Bad port. Mat report: bad port

Ok so there is the rumor about this new game to be a bad port. TB point that on his system, the game run correctly but he got an awesome computer with a TITAN on it. He than say that most people cannot run this game correctly.

Than we got an overview of the settings menu of the game. And when I don't really mind about Anti-aliasing options because I never use it and turn it off but I doubt this make sense for a pc release. A pc is a platform that need option so you can set the game to work well with the hardware that is very different.

But check this one out, this is were I can definitely say it's a bad port: No mouse sensitivity. What a joke. I hope the sensitivity will be set to something I like otherwise no point to play this game.

More than that, it appear that some settings like fps cap can be change in the config files of the game and not in the menu. This is not what I call a gold version.

This is not finish! The controller set of the game is made for the dualshock. lol. No Xbox controller scheme? At least not in the settings. I wonder how much trouble people have to play with an Xbox controller. The sure thing is, no way for them to figure out what button is for what unless trying it or getting it from the tutorial that I'm not even aware if it exist. Check out at 7:33 on this video to see the option menu.

Other than that it appear the game have sly problem.
Freeze like I had in Shadow of Mordor.
The rest of the video is for you, I stopped at: 16:21

See related blog post for more of the scandal info

15 minutes video of the new Tomb Raider

If you have follow the news of Gaming News 24 last week, you could have read some lines about a video I've seen of the game presentation at E3 that consist in somehow a real cgi of the beginnings of the game. Now we can see a video of the gameplay just after that presentation. Video found on PCGAMER.

Good point to note about these videos and the new Tomb Raider that Lara is not as hot she was but still hot. And no it's not aging. Than we can see that the game is something like the past one with new stuff and modification. And of course a new story and new levels. I doubt this will please everybody but in my case it's all fine. The last Tomb Raider was so good that I'm sure the same technologies can be use to make another one with new stuff and story. But we could have a little problems with the price and content of the game: We'll see if the customer will complaint about that or not.

Batman: Arkham Knight bad port

(Mostly negative)


While the rumours around pretend that this release on pc is a bad port because of the poor performance, the world is out of engineer that can tell us what is difference between PS4, XB1 and PC. So if I understand well as I think about it, they did the game 3 times so each platform got a release. Yea right, I think we can clearly talk about sabotage of the PC version for reason that must be market share in the console market.

Here a good video about the scandal


And here a hack for the games file so it possible to get more 30 frames per seconds:

"To do that, open your Arkham Knight install directory, and navigate to, "\BmGame\Config\BmSystemSettings.ini”.

In the config file, search for "Max_FPS=30", and change it to "Max_FPS=9999"."

Good half-gameplay Trailer from Ubisoft Paris: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildland E3



Want to join my side and fight the bs drugs in a free world with third view and good graphics.

Here a good trailer with semi-gameplay footage. It also contain a montage with an intro of the story of the game. The graphics are similar to GTA and there is cars and I guess a lot of vehicle to use. The video does not tell us a lot about the game so no more information.

Release date: TBA
Platform: PC XB1 PS4
Genre: TPS
Studios: Ubisoft Paris
Official site: http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/wildlands/en-us/home/


Rising Storm will be back with a Vietnam theme E3

(RS1)


Rising Storm 2. The trailer is not that good and it does not contain gameplay but the music is good and the sequel to the somehow realistic and good gameplay of the first Rising Storm should be good. This is if the graphics are dated because with other games that have great graphics like Killing Floor, I'm not going to play it if the graphics are not good enough.

And and anyway, I doubt it will work for me.

I guess it's for PC only and there is no information almost for me for now.

CCR Trailer

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 gameplay video with dev commentary show


(Official website capture)

They, the devs, pretend this is a sniper simulation. I have not play the two first games to see if it's one or not but looking at the video in question, I doubt a simulation is about killing more than one or two guy an hour; And in the video, it appear that we need to kill a ton.

They also talk about a system that will change according to what you do: If you kill that guard this way, the mission goes this way and many way are possible.

We can see modern drone in the video, nice tool for a sniper...

I'm for sure going to play this if I can. I think we can expect a good product.

Edit:

Oops, I forgot to post the video link, sorry.

Release date: Q2 2016, source IGN
Platform: PC, Xbox One and PS4
Studios: CI games
Genre: FPS
Official site: http://sniperghostwarrior3.com/agegate/

(GW1)

At least we get one of the nice product that was first for PS4, No man's sky. And also the trailer.


I'm not saying this game will be a total success but survival game interest me a lot and this sound a little like a survival game. Article about it I've posted 2 days ago

So it's now confirm for PC by PCGAMER. And it come with a nice trailer that is short but it show other stuff that this video have show.

The game is suppose to be release this year the Wiki said.







Just cause 3, 11 minutes of gameplay with dev comment E3


The video show and explain more how it work. I can say that it will be a like a arcade mini-gta. With more physic or a lot of the gameplay that emphasis physic. You can even fly as much as you want with some sort of wing as long as you use well the very strong grapple. The very strong grapple that can be use to destroy a lot of stuff in town. Than you got the vehicle that goes from car to tank and jet fighter. I'm not sure if the bridge part with the chopper in the video is gameplay but I guess they pretend it will.

The explosion and arcade physic look good and I can't wait to see if the car driving will be fun. So this is for sure a game I'm looking for now and it will be release the first december.

Gameplay Video for Deus Ex E3


The trailer was good but we had no gameplay or we had something similar to gameplay but it was not like I expected. So I did not even post the news about it.

This is make by the Studio of Montréal. I just found them out like months ago. So this mean for sure a buy and finish unless it's a total crap.

We can see good gadgets in the videos. We can see good gunfight in FPS. There is breaktime. The graphics look good in 720p but I think not as good as the other major title like Uncharted 4.

I did not play the past game of the series because I when I tried it, the game was too old. And when the games was release I had no computer.

Release date: Unknown
Studios: Eidos Montréal
Official site: https://www.deusex.com/

Here the IGN video found on nofrag, skip for 1:17

1st december for Just Cause 3

IGN and the hot Naomi just give us this news. Look like this game that look real good will hit us this winter.

See this post for the stuff I've write about it and the gameplay trailer link.


Anno 2205 Minor Gameplay Trailer E3



I'm a bit late on this one too. I though the gameplay trailer was not worth the watch because it contain not much gameplay but some real nice CGI that could be worth the time.

I've play the first Anno like 2 years ago and this was looking a good RTS. But unfortunately, it did not work for me. This is not the typical RTS.

So for the RTS fan, here the Gameplay Trailer

Release date: 3 November, source: Wikipedia

Warhammer: End Times Vermintide gameplay trailer E3



I'm a bit late on this one, I've forget it.

This is a FPS with mainly melee as gameplay. There is guns but not much I think. With the theme Warhammer and rats that you need to cut in pieces.

For sure another game I'm willing to play and finish if it make sense.

Gameplay Trailer

Release date: Q3 2015, source: Steam


Sniper Elite maker are on a wierd tank game now: Battlezone

Faith won't kill anymore

It appear from two website source, Polygon and Nofrag, that Faith the hero or main character of the new Mirror Edge Catalyst, will no more kill with guns nor with melee. So it's not going to be possible to take guns of the evil anymore.

Sound a bad news to me but maybe it could be a good news for Mandkind who know. One of the thing that was fun in the first Mirror Edge was to take the weapons of the evil and KILL the evil with it.

More Black Ops 3 sniping gameplay from the very good Ali-A(And more updated)

As we can see here, we got someone better than me at sniping in cod. I can do good(Good but not as fast as Alia-A) if the ads speed is good but it's not the case in cod. I can also use this technique that he use in the video but I doubt I can do as good as him.

Not sure where he got the game from, I think it's the new EA of PS.

He is sniping with the only sniping riffle available, the Locus. This weapons is great as we can see.  

Ownage


Update: This video from Dift0r is even better. You can see other guns than sniper riffle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdhrhApYIQA

Hitman half gameplay trailer

Since Hitman exist I'm about sure, for social equity, I think we need to make games for them. So I'm going to talk about this game even if it could be associated with crimes.

The trailer show something like gameplay but not it. Judge yourself, it's an interesting trailer anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv7QUSZGAk0

Just Cause 3 look crazy(Gameplay trailer E3)

The two was so so or I did not get a good version. But even with its problem, it could have be a good game for some.

It's a TPS and the 3 will be free world. When I look at Farcry 4 and other free world games I think they could be right to choose the non linear gameplay type to free world.

More than that, the world appear to be destructible a lot. And looking at the video, it look crazy and very interesting. I've said couple of days ago that destructible world was useless but I guess I was wrong when I look at this video. I keep saying that in BF4, the destructible world is not that much useful. Look like that in the future, they could use it like Square Enix is going to use it in Just Cause 3.

The game appear to come with very interesting mission and a lot of stuff guns and gadget. There is a mp too that sound interesting to me.

Battlefront in detail(E3 demo details) from Matimi0

From the video that Youtuber just posted

Details:

  • No class like in bf, instead it appear that you have a lot of gadgets that you can customize and select before each games
  • Gadgets reload slowly and the cool down indicator is in the right bottom
  • Nice cgi transit when you win
  • Couple of different guns and the scope of one is full view: no black zone almost
  • TPS or FPS view
  • Can do damage on amored vehicle with primary guns(lasers)
  • The big walker got 3 weapons. Two are laser and it appear that the difference is the rate of fire and the last weapon is Orbital strike
  • The big walker can take down by speeder and wire at some point, so the good death animation of the big walker that I have talk about in another post is maybe a bit scripted finally
  • Pickups, Orbital strike is one
  • Of course no reload for laser but overheating with indicator on the crossair

 Gadgets:
  • -Bubble Shield
  • -Jetpack
  • -Grenade launcher

No more info, I'm not sure if the E3 will show some more so I can give it here. I think it look like we're going to wait some more month to find out more about this game.

An other video of the For Honor made by Ubisoft Montreal

The devs make a little 5 minutes video with more info. It is good to note that it is stamped pre-alpha on the video.

Worth the watch. We can see some more death animation and stuff like go down quick on ladder. A guy that make a lot of shout falling down a ledge. All this show us a possible 3A product. So for sure a buy for me.

Again, I just hope the control will be great and competitive. No talk about that so far of what I have of the talk of this game.

Late, Doom 4 at E3

The gameplay videos was release first but I forgot to post about it.

Look like a good shooter again. I can't see much because of my laptop. Look a bit repetitive or maybe I'm getting use to always the same FPS: The animation to kill the agonizing monster is always the same and 3 or 4 each monster would sound greater to me. We can see edge climbing and some kind of suit for jumping from high ground without damage. Guns are typical but I'm not sure what they could be in term of new stuff. Also there is a timebreak for choosing guns which is cool but it appear that people don't know or forget to bind the gun key like I do. I even can't do it sometimes lol. Enemy and wave look cool to beat and again there is large boss. I saw some good death animation for the monster with jetpack, very cool.

Here the video in 720p that is suppose to be HD but is not imo. Maybe you can find better in Youtube on your side!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXhpg9Qx6l0

Edit:

I found out a good video that show much more and do an analyze of the gameplay shown at the E3.

It appear that the game won't be repetitive after all, there is tons of death animation. Gamesradar have a good article with gif for a lot of death animation.
