MGS: Peace Walker HD supports 4-player online co-op

Ok, when I first heard about Peace Walker being included in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection the first think that came into mind "will there be online support"? Another question rumbling in my brain was "If there's no online, will they just remove multiplayer in general?" which is a big issue since Peace Walker is basically Monster Hunter and a huge amount of the game's enjoyment relies on multiplayer.

Well my worries are over since Hideo Kojima posted on his Twitter account that you will be able to play in game with up to 3 other people online. The tweet also mentions that the game will be running at a full 60 frames per second and that character dialogues will pop up at random during loading screens.

Aside from Peace Walker, the HD Collection will also include Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence means that the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 will be included as well.

Dead Island reviews are up - Some good, some bad..

Dead Island gets released this week and it's only right that reviews start showing up on the net.  Some praise it, some are frustrated by it in a technical level but so far it's currently more on the positive side. Not perfect scores, but not horribly low ones either. Here's a list of review scores so far..

IGN - 8.0

Eurogamer - 6/10

Gameinformer - 8.5

Destructioid - 7/10

Gametrailers - 8.5/10

Ausgamers - 8.1/10

Joystiq - 3/5

From what I've been reading, the game has been getting praise on what it's meant to give, some good co-op zombie slaying fun. Add skill trees, level ups, 30+ hours of game time, and a choice for a new game+ after? man I can see myself already getting lost in this game with a couple of friends. The biggest issues most of the reviews mentions are quest bugs, glitches, voice acting, and a story that I too will ignore when I start playing. I expect the story to be in the same level as Borderlands, horrible.

Reading these reviews just sealed the deal if I wanted to buy the game on day one. Interested in the game? nice! but to get the full effect of Dead Island, I suggest you find a friend or three. Dead Island is out tom Sept 6 on NA, and will be out for the rest of the world on Sept 9 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

Borderlands 2 gameplay leaked to YouTube

I'm pretty excited for Borderlands 2 and thanks to this leaked video showing some gameplay footage of the game, we now have a clear picture on how this sequel is shaping up. It's 14 minutes of gameplay showing a lot of new things like new weapons, characters,  and even a new menu interface that looks badass.

The video shows the player playing as Salvador the Gunzerker, the new version of the Berserker class back in the first game. While Brick tosses his guns and uses his fists to wreak havoc, Salvador instead picks up another gun and just starts shooting like a crazy man. Any gun can be dual wielded with Salvador's skill.They even show the new type of guns, like what they call the Wal-Mart-inspired rifle that instead of reloading, you toss the gun and it explodes and a similar gun materialize out of nowhere all loaded up.

Weekend, what are you playing?

Wake me up when September ends... HELLZ NO! video games, front and center! What are you playing?

Migoy: Most of my Saturday was spent being out at an event at Robinsons Ermita and then having a Good Burger run after with some friends after. But I had WoL (my PSP3000) with me and in it I have Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team to go with my current Super Saiyan craze. Perhaps you could catch me playing it on the feed or maybe I'll dive into an older Tenkaichi title on the Wii for some Ki blasting goodness.

Arlie: I've been playing Demon's Souls this week. I still don't get the Black/White World Tendency System, and I'm having trouble finding Scirvir on Stonefang Tunnel 2-2 on White World Tendency. I also received my early access PS3 beta key for Assassin's Creed: Revelations Multiplayer that I've been waiting for yesterday, almost 2.8GB of download + 150MB patch.

Quash: Playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The game's awesome and I've been playing it non-stop. Aside from the sneaking, hacking, fail firefights, and the constant reading of people's emails,I'm having loads of fun exploring the world of Deus Ex. I can already see myself finding a copy of the first Deus Ex.

I also tried the Resistance 3 multiplayer beta and didn't like it that much. I was never into the Resistance series. Wonder how long Resistance 3 multiplayer will last when Battlefield 3 and MW3 comes out?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer World Premiere

The first Call of Duty expo, Call of Duty XP starts now, and to kick off this 2-day event, they reveal the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer trailer.

It's pretty much showing the new perks, equipment, killstreaks added in Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer. Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer says their focus is all about balancing the multiplayer. So you won't see perks like One Man Army, Commando, and Last Stand(Yes!). Killstreaks have also been changed. You can still earn killstreak rewards by stacking the kills, but now you can earn killstreak rewards with killstreak points. These points are earned by capturing flags, doing objectives, etc. so team players will be able to earn something even though their not owning that many people.

Killstreaks are now placed in what they call Strike Packages. There's three packages to choose from - Assault, Support, and Specialist. Assault and support have a different set of killstreaks to suit your play style, but the one package that looks very interesting is the Specialist Package. The Specialist Package does not earn airstrikes or air support when you start racking the kills. Instead, you earn more perks. Starting with the regular 3 perks, as you keep killing, you start stacking more perks to keep you going. When you die though, you start from scratch again.

They also revealed their new game mode called Kill Confirm. Kill Confirm is a Team Deathmatch with a twist. When you kill an opponent, a dog tag drops on top of their body, you'll have to pick it up in order to count it as an actual kill. Now if you see an ally's dog tag lying around, you can deny that kill by picking it up.

Call of Duty XP is currently on Livestream, so if your interested in watching the rest of the show go check it out. Been watching it for a bit and so far this is what I've learned watching it at 3am. They revealed another trailer showing more  footage of multiplayer, will update the post when they release the video.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be out on November 8 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
