Infinity Ward possibly bringing back Soap MacTavish DLC for COD: Ghosts
Infinity Ward tweeted a few days ago and are hinting at the possibilities that John “Soap” MacTavish, protagonist of the Modern Warfare games, may be returning to the series. We’re not really sure what form he’s gonna take in the DLC. The above image was the one Infinity Ward used in the tweet which shows Soap doing his regular thing- being a total badass. The “Continue YES NO” caption riffs on his ultimate fate in Modern Warfare 3. All of this is more or less rumors at this point but its only sensible to assume that Soap will appear in a multiplayer Legends Pack, as Captain Price and Vladimir Makarov have previously. In past iterations these packs provide a soldier skin, reticules, weapon camo, and other customisation options. Stay tuned as we bring you the latest news on thi...

So to start with Assassin’s Creed Comet – a second Assassin’s Creed title rumoured to be in development for release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year – may be set in Ancient Rome, judging by comments made by Ubisoft Toronto head Jade Raymond. Discussing the series success with Canadian website The Grid, Raymond attributed its popularity to letting players take on the role of “a badass assassin”. “But then there is an additional element of getting to relive and play a role in these pivotal moments in history,” she continued. “We work with historians to recreate these societi...

How to play Infamous: Second Son like a pro
While it resembles its predecessors a fair bit, Infamous: Second Son does do a few things differently than them. The game now has an all new lead character in Delsin Rowe, a Native American graffiti artist & troublemaker whose ability is to absorb the powersets of other super-powered people called Conduits. He gets a total of four powersets in the game to use against the Department of Unified Protection, the agency that’s rounding up people with superpowers. Finding ways to use those powers in conjunction with the environment is the key to success in Infamous: Second Son. We’ve compiled a list of how you can be a more super superhero & play Infamous: Second Son like a pro 😉 5. Switch things up Yeah, I know it sounds obvious. But some of the powersets feel so good that ...
Nvidia unveils the GeForce GTX Titan Z
Well NVIDIA is always willing to outperform itself and here is one more example 🙂 Nvidia is readying a version that will be priced higher than almost all PCs. Dubbed the Titan Z, it will combine a pair of GK110 “Kepler” chips that offer a total of 5,760 processing cores, along with 12GB of video memory. It will also combine all that with a mega-price tag — $3,000. You can get an incredibly high-end PC for the same amount. Built around two Kepler GPUs and 12GB of dedicated frame buffer memory, TITAN Z is engineered for next-generation 5K and multi-monitor gaming. While Nvidia played up the gaming possibilities of the new board after CEO Jen-Hsun Huang introduced the Titan Z at the annual GPU Technology Conference (e.g., 5K gaming when 4K isn’t even the norm), there ...

That is no longer just a rumor; Ubisoft has confirmed that the next game in the AC series, titled Assassin’s Creed: Unity, will take us back to 18th century France later this year, on PC,PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The confirmation comes via the trailer below, which offers no sense of characters, gameplay revisions, or how the current day setting that frames the games factors in. The earlier leak also claimed that there will actually be two AC games this year, released for different console generations. We know that Unity will be on the newer hardware and PC, while a rumored separate game, known by the reported codename “Assassin’s Creed: Comet,” could be released for...
Assassin’s Creed 2014 most likely to be set in Paris on Xbox One and PS4
Some leaked images from Kotaku suggest that this year’s Assassin’s Creed will be set in 18th century Paris. The Paris-set screenshots which were obtained from an anonymous source were of an ‘early-in-development’ version of the game. It features Notre Dame and the Seine river in the background. For now the game is dubbed Unity, though it is not clear if this is the actual title or just a codename. The word around is that this year’s Assassin’s Creed will take place during the French Revolution and feature a new protagonist named Arno. The leaked images also suggest a new feature – ‘parkour up’ and ‘parkour down’ which have buttons mapped for them. Source: Martin Gaston
God of War director leaves Sony after 11 years
The director of the well know game God of War III, Stig Asmussen has left Sony Santa Monica, and reasons as to why he did so remains to be known. “SCEA can confirm that Stig Asmussen is no longer with Santa Monica Studio,” a Sony representative told IGN. Asmussen more than just a familiar face at Sony Santa Monica as he joined the company in 2003 and worked on God of War, God of War II and God of War III. He however did not work on God of War: Ascension and was leading development on a new IP that Sony shut down last month. Asmussen is reportedly interviewing in small studios but again we’re not totally sure where. Source: Eddie Makuch
