Far Cry 4 really very likely to exist, with a little help from Ubisoft Shanghai

Shanghai by night. It’s raining. Everywhere’s a film noir set in January. A slender figure, framed against neon, runs as if pulled by his nose. He reaches the postbox, thrusts something inside, and slumps; assailants close over him like a venus fly trap.

Four days later, a dossier falls across my desk. From our man in China, it spills the beans on a Far Cry sequel. The case, it is blown wide open.

Oh, alright. It was a LinkedIn profile.

Eve Online's largest ever battle is underway - because one corp forgot to pay their rent

More than 2,200 players are fighting a battle that dwarfs all previous contenders for the largest skirmish in Eve history. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are estimated to have been lost in destroyed ships since yesterday afternoon - and the back-and-forth is expected to continue for several hours yet.

The conflict began by accident, when one corporation failed to pay their station rent - and an entire sector promptly unravelled around them.

SOE’s Next Game ‘Dedicated’ To Star Wars Galaxies Fans

By Nathan Grayson on January 28th, 2014 at 12:00 pm.

Back in my day, we played the original pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies, and we liked it. No seriously, we really did, and I think the tide of public (or at least, gamerly) opinion has started lapping at those same shores over the years. Sure, the MMO was a mess when it first tractor-beamed money out of thousands of wallets, but it tried to be legitimately different. It set out to let us authentically inhabit the Star Wars universe, a brilliant vision hampered by half-finished, well, everything. But then the New Game Experience happened, everybody became a Jedi, and SWG was never the same again. SOE, it turns out, regrets that one big time, and they’d like to apologize. With a new game.

LoL Gets 27 Million Players A Day And Other BIG NUMBERS

By Nathan Grayson on January 28th, 2014 at 11:00 am.

Time for more numbers from the LUDICROUSPHERE, aka League of Legends. The MOBA with mo’ mo(nies) than any other ba is now at 27 million players per day. 27 million different people. Every day. And per month? 67 million unique human beings, each snowflakes in their own rights, all crashing blizzard-like into Riot’s behemoth. Those are impressive numbers, certainly. RPS, however, would like to announce some even more impressive numbers.

Gender Swap Is A Fascinating Use Of Oculus Rift (NSFW)

By John Walker on January 27th, 2014 at 8:00 pm.

I’ve yet to put on some Oculus Rift goggles, which rather annoys me. I imagine March’s GDC will see that cherry popped for me, but I suspect not in a way as innovative or intriguing as is offered by Gender Swap. As part of The Machine To Be Another, an ongoing experimental art project, this uses the virtual reality headset to give users the experience of being someone else – and in this case, someone of a different sex.

I Very Much Roguelike The Humble Weekly Bundle

By John Walker on January 27th, 2014 at 7:00 pm.

While the main Humble Bundle is diverting itself from gaming with a really quite splendid collection of audiobooks, it seems to have snuck out one of the best collections of games so far in its Weekly Bundle. Rather than showcasing games from one studio, this week it’s a collection of Roguelikes. (Everyone who wants to have a fight about the terminology, please do so here.) That’s Paranautical Activity, Dungeons Of Dredmor Complete, Hack Slash Loot, The Binding Of Isaac + DLC, Teleglitch Die More Edition, and Sword Of The Stars: The Pit Gold. Cor.

It's been emotional: DC Universe Online's War of the Light kicks off

Comments1

DC churns out a mind-boggling array of comics month after month, reboot after reboot, so it shouldn't be all that surprising that DC Universe Online is already on its ninth chunk of DLC. War of the Light Part 1 is the first part of a planned trilogy of expansions and adds a new storyline, a new powerset, introduces the Blue Lantern Corps (they're the chilled ones) and throws in some new mechanics for good measure. It launched today, and already the various Lanter Corps are getting all up in each other's grills.

Evil Genius creator sells AI firm to Google: Judgement Day is coming

Comments1

Demis Hassabis, computer scientist, chess prodigy and creator of the excellent Evil Genius and Republic has just made a killing by selling his AI firm, DeepMind, to Google for around £400m. The startup founded by Hassabis along with Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman brought together neuroscientists and computer scientists was exploring the potential for AI to mimic the human brain, and developed a system able to play games.

Facebook had previously attempted to acquire the firm, reports The Information, and Google snatched it up instead. This has also led Google to establish an ethics board in an effort to stop AI from being abused. The board will set up rules which dictate how Google can and cannot use this technology, hopefully stopping a Judgement Day or Wargames scenario.

World of Warcraft stats reveal that more people are still playing Alliance - this must end!

Comment

Since it started consuming lives and ruining relationships in 2004, Blizzard has been diligently collecting World of Warcraft stats on everything from the faction split (the Alliance are more popular, damn them) to how many PvE instances folk have run (900K per day). So now they've made a handy infographic so that we can drown in glorious stats, and some of the numbers are, frankly, a bit crazy. 

Poor Garrosh Hellscream has been killed 400K times, for instance, which is a lot of punishment, even if he is a bit of a douche.

The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot enters open beta February 25th - Won't someone think of the castles?

Comments1

Folk have been sitting in their castles, swimming in Scrooge McDuck style pools of gold, safe from pillaging for too damn long. No more, says Ubisoft. The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, where players will amass a fortune by raiding other players' castles and fortify their keeps with traps, is entering open beta on February 25th, and not one castle will be safe.

Broken Age Comes Out Today: Are You Going To Buy It?

By John Walker on January 28th, 2014 at 6:00 pm.

Today is likely to be one of the most interesting days for Kickstarter watchers. Broken Age, the adventure game that made the crowdfunding format a gaming household name, is out on sale today. Right now, in fact. So the question that’s left to be answered is: how many people are there who are interested in buying it, who weren’t interested in funding it?

Playdek On Unsung Story, PC Ports, And DRM Concerns

By Nathan Grayson on January 28th, 2014 at 5:00 pm.

Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians is an intriguing prospect despite its name also functioning as a dictionary of cliche fantasy words. It’s the vision of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre creator Yasumi Matsuno, who played a huge role in popularizing turn-based tactics RPGs on consoles. Its Kickstarter has already soared to nearly $500,000 of its $600,000 goal, so things are looking up. However, developer Playdek has provided depressingly little concrete information, and a cursory reading of the Kickstarter gives the impression that Unsung Story will be a mobile game first and foremost. I got in touch with Playdek CEO Joel Goodman to find out whether or not the PC version will be a port, how the Kickstarter plays into that, how much Matsuno will be involved in actual development, and whether or not we need to worry about DRM. His answers could’ve been a bit more detailed, but oh well. Early days and all that. Go below for more.

Braben’s Space Head Talks About Elite Multiplayer

By Craig Pearson on January 28th, 2014 at 4:00 pm.


Uncy Dave is back, floating in space. A new Elite: Dangerous dev diary usually gives me a giddy thrill, but ever since I had that angerous/">brief taste of the alpha, all I can see is a game that I touched and now don’t have. It’s torture. Watching the new video has only made it worse: there’s a small look at the next alpha update, and when it lands it’ll bring the first moments of multiplayer. Playing Elite with friends… I have never been this close to spending £200 on a game in all my life.

Opening The Passage: CK II – Rajas Of India

By Adam Smith on January 28th, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

I don’t think anyone at Paradox expected Crusader Kings II to spread into India with quite as much gusto as it will this March. The next expansion adds around 50% to the world map, with almost 400 new provinces, three new religions and a continent’s worth of new events, including the possibility of chained ‘reincarnation’ plotlines. As always with these generous chunks of DLC, a free patch will be released alongside the expansion and it will contain a surprisingly hefty amount of content, including the entirety of the expanded map, and Steam matchmaking and Workshop support. While it may not have the immediate appeal of the Old Gods to many (Vikings vs Buddhists anyone?), Rajas is the biggest expansion since. More details below.

anyone here used game time tracker named program?



League of Legends is monolithic with it's player counts, more active players in a day than the amount of people that live in Australia.

I bet Brandon Beck swims in a swimming pool filled with monies because of it.
