Battlefield 3 weapon customization video

It's not an official video showing off weapon customization, but it's someone playing the latest alpha build, and showing off the weapon customization. It's a decent demonstration, the video also demonstrates weapon recoils and many more.

The customization seems a little bit deeper compared to Bad Company 2 since weapon attachments are now seperate. This is the latest alpha build of the game, and already you can tell it still needs further testing, a lot of bugs are shown in these two videos.

There's a lot of work to be done, but they still have a few months to get Battlefield 3 ready for release. Battlefield 3 will be out on October 25 for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Bioware lets fans pick the new female Shepard look

For the first time in the series, the female Commander Shepard will be in the box art for Mass Effect 3's Collector's Edition. Since their going that way, they want to give her a new look, and the community gets to help with this decision.

The voting for the new female Shepard is all in Mass Effect's Facebook fan page, just head over to the Mass Effect album and like one of the new looks for Shepard in order to vote.

Here are the designs:

Why is the female Shepard getting this kind of treatment? well it's because overall, we apparently prefer to use the default female Shepard instead of the default male. In Bioware's data, most of the players create their own shepard, but in terms of which default character is used the most? it's female Shepard.

My pic is Shepard #5, let a blonde save the world. Cast your vote now and see which Female Shepard will be in your Collector's Edition.

Sony Becomes 1st First-Party to Institute Online Passes

Oh noes. Following in the footsteps of THQ, EA, and Warner Bros., Sony has confirmed that they will be the first first-party to include an online pass with their game to unlock some, hopefully not all, of a game's online features. This is rumored to be called PSN Pass.

New copies of games will come with a one-time-use only code that can be used to access online play. What this means is much like previous games that require a pass to play online, players who buy the game used will have to shell out a fee for a new code. For now, the price point is still unknown. Sony has confirmed that Resistance 3 will be the first game to have this feature / restriction.

And there it is, so much for PSN being free. We all knew this was coming when EA copied THQ regarding this online pass business. Capcom might be starting a new "screw over the players" trend with their whole Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D undeletable save game bit to, from what I'm guessing is, destroy the used game market.

Weekend, what are you playing?

What are you playing this weekend?

Migoy: I finally completed all the missions in Gundam Memories. Aside from that I've been tackling some random PS2 titles. You can probably catch me live on the feed at our Jusin.tv channel.

Quash: Still playing Xenogears this weekend. Currently on 21 hours game time with Fei at level 33. Just got Elly and Rico and is heading to the Goliath factory.

Also been playing Starcraft 2 with some buddies doing 3v3 ladder. The difference of 1v1 to 2v2 and 3v3 are huge, it was hard to get used to, and most of my build orders need adjustment since there are like 2 to 3 armies to worry about. In 1v1, i'm currently going back and forth from rank 1 to rank 2 in my platinum league, and i can't seem to bump up to Diamond League.

Arlie: I am playing NieR this weekend. I was able to finish my first playthrough in less than 15 hours to get the trophy. I really liked the story a lot. There's still 3 more endings I need to unlock to complete it.

Street Fighter X Tekken Comic Con 2011 Cinematic Trailer

More info coming from Comic con 2011. Capcom not only revealed new characters such as Dhalsim and Poison for Capcom side, Steve Fox and Yoshimitsu for Tekken, but they also released this new cinematic trailer of other characters to join Street Fighter X Tekken.

It's an awesome trailer. They reveal Hugo with Poison, gets their asses kicked, and in the end, Guy and Cody shows up. It's pretty awesome that their adding more Final Fight characters, I bet their going to officially show gameplay when they reveal their Tekken pairs. Poor Haggar though, if he had his pipe it would have been a different story. Respect the pipe!
