Luckily for the rest of us, some screenshots have arisen giving us a peek at the vehicle customization. The images include a look at the options for the battle tank, attack helicopter, and boat. It looks like players will have a lot of choices in the categories of weapons, optics, upgrades, and camouflage.

Battlefield 4 is set to release on October 29 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Xbox One and PS4 versions have been announced, but no specific dates given.

IO Interactive, the studio known for its Hitman series, has been hit hard with layoffs. Announced earlier today by Gameinformer, the troubled gaming company was forced to cut its staff by close to 50% in efforts to restructure business for the future. Much of this has been contributed to SE AAA titles (Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and Sleeping Dogs) failing to reach predicted sales expectations. Following the layoffs, Square Enix had this to say:

We are making significant changes at IO Interactive as we align our business against a changing and challenging market. Hannes Seifert, formerly Production Director for 3 years at the studio, will take over the position of Studio Head at IO. The studio will focus resolutely on the future vision for the Hitman franchise and is in pre-production on a new AAA Hitman project. However we have taken the difficult decision to cancel other studio projects and initiatives at IO and reduce the workforce in this studio, which will impact almost half of the employees currently at IO, as we make internal adjustments to face the challenges of today’s market.

I have enjoyed Square Enix’s games for quite some time. The Hitman series has pushed the genre of stealth and action forward for many years. To see such a well established game company struggle to stay afloat is tough. With Final Fantasy XIV, XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 in development, it’s safe to assume the success of these titles will determine the company’s future.

What do you guys think? Is this the beginning of the end? Let us know in the comment section below. Check back again soon for more on this and other gaming news.

The one thing preventing open-world games from being truly epic are the loading times in-between large areas or new cities. Ziemak had an answer to this. He said:

Thanks to new technology on RedEngine3, we were actually able to create a world without loading screens as you travel across the world. This should answer your question.

And any good RPG will have some form of decisions based on the players actions, hopefully leading to a unique ending. The Witcher 3 will have 36 different endings, enough to keep you coming back more than Skyrim. Ziemak stated:

We’re having around 36 endings, as far as I remember. These affect the state that you will leave the world in after your playthrough.

And how does one get around a massive open-world game? By horse of course (unintentional rhyming).

I think we have a very defined setting, and Geralt always used a horse in the books. So, that’s all he can use in The Witcher 3. You can’t ride different animals.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may turn out to be the single-player RPG of our dreams. The game is set to be released in 2014 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

This is the same price tag we enjoy now on the Xbox 360. I think a price increase would have drawn even further outrage from the community following the recent news regarding used games on the new system.

Microsoft’s pricing plan for their games will match that of Sony’s for the PlayStation 4. While some people were originally upset when the $60 price was first introduced, most have grown used to it and are thankful the price has not increased.

This price is only for Microsoft games however. Other publishers such as Activision or Electronic Arts have not announced their plans for new game prices. They could stick with the trend and go for $60 or increase their price, the option to lower it back down to $50 is also there too. those were the days.

The Xbox One will be released later this year. We should have more info about publisher game prices soon enough.

In an article released on The Escapist, Hall had this to say, “Certainly I think if we don’t, for want of a better word ‘fuck up,’ the PC release then I would say a console port is almost certain.” In addition, Hall also seemed to be partial towards one console. He definitely has his eyes on next-gen consoles, mentioning the PS4 specifically. Hall states, ”It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in, I think we just have to wait and see.”

The interest he is referencing is most likely due to the large amount of attention Sony has been giving to massive multiplayer games. They have already confirmed PlanetSide 2, DCU Online, and The Elder Scrolls Online. Hall also mentions being in talks with Sony, but not so much Microsoft. In an interview on Eurogamer Hall had this to say about the other console,  ”I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well. I’m not shitting on them. I’m kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I’m being a bit naive.”

The standalone version of DayZ currently does not  have a release date as they are trying to fix hacking issues. The game is expected to enter alpha in the near future.

PC fans are attempting to rectify this situation by beginning a petition to Ubisoft in order to port the game to the PC. As of this writing the petition has a total of 58,239 signatures with only 16,761 needed.

The petition statement reads:

Tom Clancy’s The Division should be released for PC for many reasons but the most important one is that the release of this amazing game will only be for consoles. This leaves out the PC community. This leaves out those of us who like playing games on our PC’s more than console. This leaves out those of us who can only play on PC for whatever reason or are best on PC, whatever the case maybe. In the end the issue is that Tom Clancy’s The Division is not being released for PC and that is completely unfair to an entire community who would otherwise miss a beautiful experience.

Now there never is a guarantee a petition like this will work, some end up just wasting their time trying to change the minds of companies. Those interested in signing the petition to bring The Division to the PC can do so here.

Killzone: Shadow Fall will be released as a launch title on the PlayStation 4. Set 30 years after the conclusion of Killzone 3, a shaky peace has been established between the Vektans and the Helghast. A wall has blocked the two societies from further confrontation, until the events in the upcoming Shadow Fall that is.

Players will take on the role of a new character this time around, say good-bye to Sev, Luca Kellan, a member of the elite military intelligence unit, Shadow Marshals. A mix of stealth and all out firefights await.

Killzone: Shadow Fall will be released at a date to be announced later this year on the PlayStation 4.

Killzone: Shadow Fall – 21 Minutes of Gameplay

The post Killzone: Shadow Fall – 21 Minutes of Gameplay appeared first on 6aming.

Story

The LoL world has a lore for every one of its characters, with Aatrox The Darkin Blade being no different. Aatrox The Darkin Blade is of the ancient Darkin race, of which there are only five members left, which suggests that Aatrox The Darkin Blade won’t be the only one to come out for this race in the future. Aatrox The Darkin Blade is actually part of the main storyline where the Protectorate and the Magelords were at war with each other. Aatrox The Darkin Blade was the Protectorate’s savior when all seemed lost for them. He led them into battle and changed their mental focus to the point where their heroic acts of war only seemed like unimaginable atrocities. It vaguely says that Aatrox The Darkin Blade was the savior to many who would have normally lost, it portrays him as a man who only fought on the losing side because there would be more of a challenge.

Gameplay

Aatrox The Darkin Blade has a few abilities that make him very difficult to kill on the field which label him as an ADC or Attack Damage Carry.

Blood Well – He injures himself to fill up his Blood Well. While the Blood Well is filled, he gains 1% for every 2% this blood well is filled. This is a passive ability, so it can’t be cancelled.

Dark Flight – A new form of something that is used by a few characters, he takes flight into the air and stays there until you choose to attack a certain area within the radius. It does devastating damage to the center of the target while doing damage to the surrounding targets.

Blood Thirst/Blood Price – This is a very tricky ability to use but it allows him to sacrifices his health to do bonus damage on an opponent with Blood Price. On the other hand for Blood Thirst, it hits his opponent a third time, then he is healed a small percentage of what he sacrificed.

Blades of Torment- This is a similar attack to most of the crowd attacks of many of the characters. He throws out a long-range of blades that damage and slow down enemies.

Massacre – This is considered the Ultimate attack of a character and is only gained once the player reaches level six within a game. It allows him to suck in the blood of all the targets around him, causing damage while increasing Attack Speed and Attack Damage.

Graphics

The graphics are very simple and aren’t really fantastic. While he’s definitely a great addition to your characters, his attacks are all self-based so they don’t make a big splash. This is good for those with a bad computer or a slow connection.

Sound

He’s not a very loud character until he attacks, and when he does attack he’s loud. Unlike some characters, he has a different sound for each attack, which can give away which abilities you’re using.

Controls

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Aatrox

Aatrox The Darkin Blade’s way of control is attack and leave, which means a burst based character. If you’re first learning how to use this character, his attack advantage is essentially the same.

For when his ultimate is up;

Use his Dark Flight to close in fast while activating Blood Thirst to increase the damage. This will knock an opponent up into the air before they can run. In the beginning of the game you want to stack on Blades of Torment while putting one in each ability. Once you have landed from Dark Flight, use Blades of Torment to slow them down and then use Massacre. Most times, this will decimate them before they can get a couple of feet.

For when his ultimate is on cool down;

If you’re not using teleport, you’ll want to keep your Blades of Torment up along with Dark Flight. Go in using basic attacks to harass them and if you get into danger then Dark Flight away and use Blades of Torment to slow them down. This will allow you to get away fairly quickly until you have enough health to harass them again.

For ADC;

You’ll want to begin initiating the fight by using Blades of Torment and then Dark Flight unto the nearest opponents. This will slow them down while your comrades follow you. If it’s a huge crowd, then you’ll want to use Blood Thirst in the fight until the Blood Well is activate. Once this is activated, you’ll want to turn it off and then use Massacre to stay alive until Dark Flight can take you out of the fight.

For APC;

You’ll want to wait until your ADC begins initiating and then you’ll want to use Blades of Torment. The only time you’ll use Dark Flight and Massacre is to Tower dive weak opponents quickly.

Overall

Aatrox The Darkin Blade is a very difficult character to manage in the end game but he’s well worth it if you can get him powerful enough. Apply health and defense on him, and you’ll have an almost unstoppable character that can give Trendamere a run for his money. While he’s great for initiating, this makes it difficult to survive in the beginning so he’s limited to a support character for the best chance of surviving. Depending on the opponents, you can switch from support to solo once you have enough defense. Overall, he’s a good character but requires quite a bit of dedication to learn.
