Get your hands on Two New Maps and New Classes on April 10th.
Hot on the heels of Bioware's announcement of the free Extended Cut DLC addressing fans' problems with the controversial ending comes more free DLC, this time in the form of extra multiplayer content.
Killer is Dead will grace the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013.
With the upcoming release of Lollipop Chainsaw, and the recent release of Sine Mora and Diabolical Pitch, Grasshopper Manufacture has been a busy studio. Their unique blend of camp and the bizarre has been turning heads for years now and their newest title appears to be no exception. Killer is Dead is Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture's latest work, and though the name seems to imply it, the title bears no relation to their past work, Killer 7.
Free DLC to provide closure to the controversial ending.
Those angered by the endings of Mass Effect 3 may finally get the closure they desire. Bioware has announced that this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC will be released to give fans “clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and insight on how your personal journey concludes.”
The new controllers feature the transforming D-Pad.
Those in the market for a new Xbox 360 controller will have a few more options come mid-May. Microsoft is planning to release a Chrome series of their controllers, which features a glossy red, blue, or silver finish. Retailing at $54.99, the controllers will all feature the transforming D-Pad, which gives players two modes of operation. In its default position it will operate just like the D-Pad on the standard Xbox 360 controller, but when turned, it does a better job of sensing the cardinal directions.
Fez Friday is coming
A rather flashy announcement (seriously, don’t click this if you're at risk for seizures) recently appeared on Polytron’s official website announcing the official release date for the long delayed Fez on what they are calling Fez Friday the 13th.
It's time to get angry all over again!
Asura’s Wrath wouldn’t seem like an obvious candidate for a whole slate of DLC, considering it’s a new IP that wasn’t aggressively marketed by Capcom. But that’s just what’s in store for the heavily anime-inspired action game. We’ve learned details for the DLC schedule, and it’s surprisingly robust.
The Xbox 360 exclusive will just make it out before the end of the month.
So what's the logical response to being tricked into eating your own parents in a bowl of chili? Well, we don’t really know, but Tenorman is handling it by stealing an Xbox 360 hard drive from the South Park boys with an army of ginger robots. If you want to help Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle get it back, then you’ll get your chance before the month is over.
Despite the retail setbacks of the first game, Grasshopper wants another crack at it.
Last year’s Shadows of the Damned was well-known for two things. The Grasshopper Manufacture game was a dream collaboration of Suda 51 (No More Heroes), Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill), and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil). It was also a colossal flop, selling a meager 24,000 copies in its first week on store shelves. Not a company to be held down by disappointing sales, it sounds like Grasshopper is eager to do another chapter in the life of Garcia F’ing Hotspur.
Dr. Ray says the team is back at work to quell the disheartened fans.
Mass Effect 3 has been out long enough for the hardest of the hardcore to have finished it. Others are still getting their crew ready to face the Reapers, but even for those trying to avoid spoilers one thing has become very clear: people don’t like the ending of the game too much. It’s caused a huge backlash among fans and non-fans alike. You can listen to our own Jason Ross talk about it on the PB & Jason podcast, and the fervor for this game has site director Nick DiMola asking gamers what the big deal is. Well, it seems that when enough people cry out, their voices get heard. Today, Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder and GM of BioWare, made a statement on the BioWare blog addressing the concerns over Mass Effect 3’s ending.
