Dead Island Gameplay

/

Deep Silver has finally revealed gameplay footage of Dead Island. Brand Manager Vincent Krummer gives us an in-depth look on how this FPS open world survival horror will work out and it's looking pretty good since this can be experience with 3 other players. This reminds me of Borderlands since it's an FPS with RPG elements for character development plus it's 4 player co-op.

I like the fact that Guns will be rare in Dead Island. Not only does it makes sense, it looks more challenging to take down a horde of zombies up close. It also gives Dead Island its own identity. If guns were the main focus, I'd rather stick with Left4Dead. Having more focus on melee weapons help a great deal in weapon customization and I'm curious on how many types of weapons you can create. Dead Rising had an amazing list of unique melee weapons and hopefully they looked at that game for reference.

The graphics look great but the gameplay still seems a little bit clunky. Their still aiming for a 2011 release so they have plenty of time to polish the game. It will be out on Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

I'm always game for some 4 player co-op, especially if it's a free roam zombie game. How did the gameplay look for you? excited to break some zombie heads?

One of the reasons why you need to play Portal 2

Portal 2, one of Valve's masterpieces in gaming. The intuitive first person shooter puzzle game. These some of the few reasons why you should play it.

If not for its story, incredible single player campaign, mind bending puzzles, the ability to divide by zero, the witty banter of GLaDOS and Wheatley then here is another reason why you should pick up and play the game right now.

For moments like these.

All Witcher 2 Downloadable Content will be free

/

Witcher 2 is coming tomorrow, so to start things off and give a little incentive to buy this PC-only  RPG, developer CD Projekt RED  has announced that all up-coming DLC's will be free of charge.

"Let [us] announce that all our DLCs will be FREE," they write. "All of them. If anything will be for purchase, those will be expansion packs. First DLC (side-quest called "Troll Trouble") [launches] together with the game release."

Witcher 2 is said to clock over at least a minimum of 40 hours of gameplay. When i say minimum, i mean the main storyline will take that long to finish, so if you add all the extra side quests and other things you can do in the Witcher world, where looking at maybe 70+ hours? this is indeed a meaty RPG and I'm sure all RPG fans are anxiously waiting for the game's release. We need more hardcore PC RPG's just like the old days and I hope more will come in the future.

There's a possibility in the future that the game will be released also on PS3 and Xbox 360 but for now it's considered a PC exclusive.

Just in case you don't know the Witcher 2, here's a few videos to get yourself familiar with the game.

Weekend, what are you playing?

/

We are half way though May, new game releases are afoot but I'm sure most of you have a game or two to beat. So what are you playing?

Migoy: My Duodecim save got corrupted. My cousins were playing multiplayer and one of em had my PSP, the battery died right after a fight (where the game auto saves) so fuck it, gonna fully import my old Dissidia game keeping my old characters at maxed out at level 100. Aside from Dissidia Duodecim despair I feel a strong urge to play Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP) from square one. Also I've got an eye on another SquareEnix Game, Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection. Lotsa RPGs on my list. Gonna be a long day.

Quash: This weekend is still Mass Effect 2 for me. Working on my save file in my PS3 so that I can use that save for Mass Effect 3. In the main story I'm suppose to get the IFF but I'm focusing on all possible loyalty missions at this point and side quests before continuing. My goal is no one dead on the Suicide Mission, Max Paragon and mostly all important side quests done.  Oh! i also played some Diablo 2 co-op with a friend last friday. Currently on Act 2 with a level 18 Sorceress. This has to be my 4th Sorceress in that game, favorite class? yep. I've already decided to be a Wizard for Diablo 3.

Arlie: I've been exploring the Province of Cyrodiil this weekend. Yes, I'm playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PC using my Female Nord Knight named "Arya Stark" (from Game of Thrones). I already finished the faction quests for the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, Thieves Guild, Knights of the Nine and I am already halfway on the Dark Brotherhood quests (I already have my loyal steed, Shadowmere). As some of you might know, I've been streaming my TES IV: Oblivion gaming session live on our JTV channel. You can watch my previous game sessions archived there so please feel free to visit anytime, you might catch me or anyone of us play live and chat with us while we do fucked up shit like the video shown below.

I also played Brink, but I haven't tried multiplayer yet and the AI is just plain suck (could literally go around an AI enemy, clueless mofos). I already finished the Resistance campaign and already started with Security campaign. Overall, I like the game (it reminded me of Team Fortress 2) with better gameplay (PARKOUR BABYYYY!) and I might enjoy playing it online. You can also watch my Brink gaming sessions on our JTV channel.
