2k Games has finally given BioShock Infinite a release date. This four-year project of Irrational Games will be out on October 16, 2012 for the US and October 19 for the UK. This is one of the most highly anticipated game of 2012 and just like any other fan, I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
BioShock Infinite is set even before the events of the first BioShock. It has you playing as Booker Dewitt heading to the flying skies called "Columbia" in search for Elizabeth. The game looks amazing and if you haven't seen the demo given at last year's E3, your missing out. Take a look.
I love the BioShock series, and with how Infinite is turning out, it looks like it moving forward in the right direction. Again, BioShock Infinite will be out on October 16 in the US, and October 19 in the UK for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Capcom has confirmed a release date for their open world RPG Dragon's Dogma. They also dumped a huge incentive to purchase the game. It will include a redeemable token to download a playable demo of Resident Evil 6. Also, the demo will be accessible 60 days earlier on Xbox Live. What a way to help a new title Capcom.
The demo will be available on July 3 on Xbox Live, while in PSN it will be available on Sept. 4 in North America and Japan and Sept. 5 for Europe.
The new trailer for Dragon's Dogma also reveals its release date and the Resident Evil 6 demo.
Putting a playable RE 6 demo code in each copy just placed this game in the spotlight. Hopefully it comes as a great game in the end and not just something to buy just for the demo.
If you remember back in April, Capcom's mystery game was revealed to be a new IP called Dragon's Dogma that gave us that Monster Hunter-ish gameplay where you go off to slay huge monsters. Well the game has finally been dated and whether it's not you're kind of game or not, a new title is always good to experience.
March 27 , 2012 is the release for the US with a Europe release following right after on May 1, 2012.If you've seen footage of the game when it was released, I'm sure you're also with me that this game is the one to look out for on 2012. Dragon's Dogma will be set in a fantasy world were you get to roam around the world, hunt down monsters with a group of NPC characters and on a quest to retrieve your heart stolen by a Dragon. Yes, I have no idea how that works but hunting for a dragon always sounds good. This will be an open-world game with Capcom revealing it to be around 30-100 hours long depending if you're a side quest junkie.
The key feature with this game is the ability to climb on this huge monsters.Inspired by Shadow of Collossus(must play btw), instead of just hacking away on creatures side, you climb on to either it's back, wing or head to deal significant damage. Clinging on a flying Gryphon to stop it from flying away with the help of your AI companions is what makes it unique from other games. I like this direction since the player get's to experience the full encounter of facing a huge monster.
The biggest question is, why no online co-op? With a game like this, it would seem rather ideal to place that as an option, even a main focus. Sadly, with regards to online capabilities - the only thing you can do online is grab other player's characters to be used as one of your AI controlled buddies. Hopefully they surprise us in the end that we can actually play this with a friend, but with the March release, seems unlikely.
Most triple titles are either a sequel or a game that has a number right after its title, especially this year. That's good and all but I actually prefer fresh titles coming out more often. To have a good mix of the well known and the unknown. Wouldn't you want to take a risk and surprise yourself on how blown away you were? or prefer to play it safe and purchase a title that you know will be worth you're while? Depends, I know. With games priced at the standard $59.99 or PHP 2,000+ range, playing it safe is the preferred choice for most nowadays which is why most company's stick with what works if they find that golden title. Is Dragon's Dogma worth the risk though? I definitely think so.
