New Inversion trailer tells us about the 3G's of battle

Guns, Grenades, and Gravity is whats going to fuel Namco Bandai's new IP Inversion. Gotta love new titles trying to bring something new to the table.

Manipulating gravity during a gunfight? well that could be trippy. I'm pretty curious how multiplayer will play out with a bunch of people having the same ability to play with gravity. Hopefully with this unique concept, they maximize it by providing a lot of interesting and clever things players can do with their abilities. If not, and the whole gravity thing gets old fast, it's just another 3rd person cover shooter.

A fairly new developer called Saber Interactive is  developing Inversion. The best known game they worked on was Timeshift which was nothing great, aside from that - nothing.

Inversion is coming out on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 next year in early february. There might be a PC version, but no date yet.  

Gran Turismo 5 getting huge update, DLC also coming

Gran Turismo 5 is a game that is constantly evolving, that's what creator Gran Turismo creator  Kazunori Yamauchi said after the release of the game. Well, a huge update patch is on the way called "Spec 2.0" with a DLC coming a week after.

Kazunori Yamauchi announced via Twitter about the update. No information yet about what the update or the DLC is all about, but it's good to know that they are still working to improve Gran Turismo 5. The DLC might include more cars, but then again with their 1k car roster, doesn't make much sense.

Gran Turismo 5 is a great game, but not perfect. With a development time of 5 years, the hype definitely affected people s impression of the game. They have went a long way though thanks to constant patches of the game like online events and online dealerships, and other improvements. Keep it coming Polyphony Digital, because you have a lot of gamers playing this game for years to come.

Shank 2 announced, coming 2012

EA recently held a press conference in Vegas we're Klei Entertainment, the makers of Shank said they were going to announce a new ip, and surprisingly enough, it was Shank 2, the sequel to the 2D side-scrolling with a unique comic book look.

Klei Entertainment is a fairly new company. Aside from Shank, they also created Eets which they self-published and recieved positive reviews. With the success of Shank, and now currently collaborating with EA partners, they have been working on Shank 2 for a year now. Aside from improving visuals, combat, etc for the sequel, they will also include an arcade-style co-op survival mode. Add a friend and survive as long as you came against hordes of enemies.

The official shank website is updated with a Shank 2 blog. Shank 2 will be out for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2012.

Dead Nation gets a new DLC - Road of Devastation

Thanks to Sony's Welcome back package that serves as a sorry to the PSN outage back in May, I was able to get my hands of Dead Nation. It was a great co-op game and it certainly put back a smile in my face after nearly a month of no online service. Now I can consider running Dead Nation again with the announcement of a DLC called Road of Devastation.

Dead Nation was released back in 2010, and with Dead Nation now owned by a lot of PSN users, I guess releasing DLC makes sense. When it gets released, it will only cost you $3.99 which is not a bad deal with the added weapons and enviroments to the game. You're a soldier waking up in a lab that was trying to make you the ultimate soldier. You are given choices which will lead you to what kind of environments you'll be in and enemies you'll face.

Dead Nation was loads of fun, and with a $3.99 price point, it seems worth the purchase. You can never get enough killing zombies if you ask me.

PS3 players will get Battlefield 3 DLC first, Open Beta also announced

While Xbox 360 players get first access to Call of Duty DLC, Battlefield 3 DLC will be released in the PS3 a week earlier before the Xbox 360. A week isn't so bad compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC getting released on the Xbox 360 a month earlier.

Tommy Rydling, junior product manager for Battlefield 3 announced it on the official Playstation Blog. Whats the first DLC? it's called Back to Karkand and is said to be released sometime this year. The DLC will provide 4 famous maps from Battlefield 2. I was expecting this to happen for the PS3 since Xbox 360 is already all over the Call of Duty franchise, but this 1 week early access is honestly nothing to the 1 month early access in the Xbox 360 for Black Ops. With Modern Warefare 3, I Wouldn't be surprised if they continue releasing DLCs to 360 players a month earlier. This isn't the only news from the post, they also announced that the open beta of Battlefield 3 will be out on the PSN for download. The Open Beta starts on September 29th to October 10th.

If you actually purchased the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor then you can get into the Open Beta a week earlier. So owners of the Limited Edition can test Battlefield 3 on September 27, 2 days earlier.

There will only be one map I believe for the Open Beta, and that will be Operation Metro, the map they always use to show off the multiplayer part of Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3 will be out on October 25 in NA, 27 for Australia, and 28 for Europe. With Datablitz having pre-orders for Battlefield 3, the game release for the Philippines will be Oct 25.
