Over at the action MMORPG combat orientated TERA, the unoriginal named Summer Event is starting soon. The event adds skimpy clothes and douchebag outfits for all the races in the game. There are also new achievements, prizes and a beach party. Which is just what you need to make you feel even more of a loser.
The developers of The Secret World revealed during an official live stream yesterday that The Secret World will be open for anyone to play next weekend. From 3rd August at 4pm GMT until 6th August at 7am GMT. This is to celebrate the games one month anniversary (seriously?), Funcom will be doing events, giving players fireworks and other rewards for completing a series of missions. However more importantly people who want to know more about what the game is about or try out The Secret World will be able to do so over the weekend without paying a single penny a part from a bit of your soul.
So you might be wondering what the feck is City of Steam? Is it some sort of Steam city building game? Well no its a free to play browser-based MMORPG similar in visual style and gameplay to games like Neverwinter Nights, Runescape, Baldur’s Gate with a bit of Vagrant Story. However what makes it different to these games is that it based on architecture and style of a steam punk universe. It is a pretty interesting take on the whole fantasy RPG theme.
As I mentioned the other day the Path of Exile public stress test weekend has now started one hour ago. This means people who aren’t in the closed beta can now try out Path of Exile for free and see if the game interests you in any way.
Overhaul Games have announced that the remake of the classic Baldur’s Gate is coming to PC on 18th September. Versions will be available for iPad and Mac OS X and they will also come out sometime in September while a version for Android will come out later.
Next week on Tuesday precisely you will be able to purchase Grand Theft Auto III through the PlayStation Network. The game will cost $9.99 (£6.35) and will not feature any new additions such as high-definition visuals or trophies so why bother?
Reminds me a lot of Windows 8 and the Xbox 360 dashboard.
General Manager of OnLive Bruce Grove has recently announced that their streaming service will be available on the OUYA Android games console. OnLive will be available on day one of the new consoles release.
A PC player and PlayStation 3 player walk into a bar…
Bethesda Game Studios marketing boss Pete Hines dampened hopes for a quick PC and PlayStation 3 release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dawnguard DLC.
Pete Hines said on Twitter: “We have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I’d tell you.” Is that your final answer?
