Bioshock Infinite’s getting a season pass

February 22, 2013 at 7:45 am | 27 Comments

I love how the gaming industry is in a phase where it can sell people on a promise. That’s why we’ve got pre-orders with numerous baiting techniques to lure us in, and of course, DLC. Most DLC is a one-off affair of new looks and gear, with the occasional biiger piece of story thrown in for good measure. Joining the club this week in the land of “we promise that it’ll be rad!”, is Irrational Game’s Bioshock Infinite. And yes, using Elizabeth and those big blue eyes to sell the extra content is a bastard genius move.

DayZ standalone game will have new content every week

February 18, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 27 Comments

With DayZ going solo and moving away from the modding scene, brand new opportunities are opening up for the cult zombie apocalypse survival game. Content is one such market that is ripe for exploration, and possibly exploitation. Although in the case of this standalone, it might be a more substantial enhancement to the game that’ll have more free than paid-for content. Every week apparently.

Gamers are “blinded by the fear of censorship” says Dishonored dev

January 15, 2013 at 11:15 am | 14 Comments

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the possible link between video games and violence, thanks mostly due to the tragic events that occurred recently in the US. Whether you’re a believer or a defender though, there’s no doubt that gaming has become a tad super-violent, and the reactions towards such content has been apathetic at times. And that’s a reaction that one ex-Dishonored developer believes needs to change.

Bioshock Infinite has two games worth of cut content

December 13, 2012 at 9:45 am | 1 Comment

Bioshock Infinite has been through the ringer as of late, with several delays and some small controversy, but at the end of the day, it certainly does look a premium R600 game. It’s a single-player affair though, and after all the extra time spent on it, you’d expect a game loaded with content. And you’d be right, because right now, there’s around two entire games worth of content there…that has been cut.

Microsoft’s scary licencing patent

November 7, 2012 at 11:15 am | 18 Comments

Some time back, we pondered whether or not the motion-control peripheral sat atop your TV, Kinect, might be spying on you, which would be disastrous (for all!), because I spend most of my time gaming in my underwear. A new patent from Microsoft could start monitoring your media usage – and charge your violations of licence use.

The Secret World’s DLC delayed following layoffs

August 27, 2012 at 9:00 am | 6 Comments

As far as MMO’s go, the Secret World is a pretty good one - but we though it would only really come in to its own once it gets populated with more content, something developer Funcom has promised. It looks like the company’s been forced to renege on those promises - because its next content drop has been delayed. Mostly because it’s been hit with some restructuring layoffs.

Call Of Duty to feature “enhanced” content on a regular basis

January 5, 2012 at 10:45 am | 2 Comments

Say what you like about Call Of Duty, but last years annual iteration proved to be a smash hit with fans once again, selling millions of copies and netting Activision a tidy billion dollars in the process.

With COD providing a popular online playground filled with bullets and C4 explosives, fans have been having a literal blast so far, but it seems that Activision wants to keep the online experience fresh with some additional content that will be implemented into the game on a regular basis.

Castle Crashers Getting Additional Content

September 8, 2008 at 3:30 pm | 0 Comments

So right now, Behemoth should be fully concentrated on fixing the online issues but once that is done they are going to be releasing DLC. The DLC will have two new playable characters, the King and the Necromancer. It will also contain the much anticipated chainsaw. Something which was never in the game for those who spent their time running through the deer chase level looking for it. It would have been nice if they could include an extra level or two along with the other extras, but getting the online to work is more important than wasting time developing new levels. It has not been confirmed as of yet when the DLC will be released but according to the Behemoth blog it could be whenever Microsoft decide they want to release it. source: Behemoth Blog
