Naar jou luisteren we dan maar niet, want een normaal mens installeert wel gewoon, al was het maar om niet gek te worden van de laadtijden. 20 gig is echt niet genoeg voor BobLeSponge als je ziet wat hij nodig heeft (behalve installs noemde DLC addons e.d. en een aantal downloadbare games, dan moet je toch echt minimaal wel voor de 60 gig gaan).

And that doesn't mean multiplayer is simply tacked on. Far from it, the scale and variety of Red Dead's environments and the sheer amount of cool stuff to do means Free Roam alone is likely to immerse groups of friends for long stretches. The core modes, while pretty standard fare, play well to Redemption's structural and thematic strengths and, over the course of half a day's play, are certainly never less than fun.

For a game tipped to be one of the single-player highlights of 2010, it can only add to the overall package. Worth taking a bullet for? We'll find out in just over a month.

Gears Of War 3 will feature a reworked cover system and underwater missions for the first time, Edge can reveal.

Developer Epic Games is set to evolve the franchise’s combat by introducing Locust foes with tentacle-like appendages which are capable of extending to player cover spots.

Meanwhile, the COG members of Delta Squad will be equipped with explosives that can travel beneath the ground to take out enemy cover positions, our US publishing source told us.

While the first two Gears games offered mobile cover in the form of objects like burnt out cars that could be pushed around, Gears Of War 3 will feature a heavy duty mech suit the COGs can utilise both for protection and to wreak havoc.

All of these new features will be present in the singleplayer campaign and multiplayer modes, Edge understands.

We were also informed that the game will be set during the summer and introduce a number of new environments to the series, including underwater locations. The end of the last title saw the COGs sink mankind’s last city, Jacinto, and flood the Hollow in order to take out the Locust Horde beneath the surface.

Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 demo at GDC in March showed off jungle or foliage-heavy areas, which could also make an appearance in Gears Of War 3 - Epic previously used GDC 2008 to debut Unreal Engine upgrades that went on to show up in Gears 2.

Gears Of War: Jacinto's Remnant, a novel written in conjunction with Epic, continues the Gears story from the conclusion of the second game. One story strand focuses on the island of Vectes, a former COG naval base sporting fertile lowlands, forests and a river. This setting could be ideal to show off the developer’s new Unreal Engine features were it to show up in Gears Of War 3.

Gears Of War 3 has yet to be officially announced. However, Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski is set to reveal a new game on Monday’s episode of US talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and it could be on the agenda. He was originally set to appear on tonight’s show - the same day we predicted Gears Of War 3 would officially be unveiled – but said that the change in schedule would allow Epic “to take a couple more days to polish” its game.

F.E.A.R. 3 PlayStation 3 Trailer - Announcement Trailer

Opmerkelijk genoeg is dit deel niet in handen van Monolith.

quote:

Edge has awarded Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction 8/10 in its latest lead review - claiming that the title is 'in reach of greatness'.

The mag is particularly impressed with protagonist Sam Fisher's ability to turn environments into 'torture chambers' at the press of a button.

'[Even] the presence of a piano suddenly fills the room with ominous potential' it reports.

It adds: 'The environments, at their best, are playgrounds for Fisher's lethal abilities, giving him every opportunity to outflank and outwit opponents who otherwise outgun him.'

It calls one particular chase around the Lincoln Memorial Ground 'heart-pumping', and praises the new, less-stealthy style of play. 'As Splinter Cell goes from covert to overt, a new-found dynamism emerges,' Edge reports.

However, the mag finds flaws in the games 'short' single-player campaign - and says that too much of the title is played in new atmospheric monocrome.

'But when Conviction hits its stride, the environments unlock the player's tactical ambitions in a way that's truly empowering,' it adds.

Splinter Cell Conviction is released next Friday in the UK.

Ze kondigen hem nu aan zodat ze veel meer aandacht krijgen voor hun game, dan tijdens de E3 waar tientallen nieuwe games aangekondigd gaan worden.

Sowieso verwacht ik dat de E3 voor de Xbox vooral in het teken zal staan van Natal-games. Natal wordt DE launch van Micosoft dit jaar dus die gaan ze mega-exposure geven.

Conviction is in reach of greatness. It's flaws stand out in the short singleplayer campaign, and it's tail end relies too much on the gunplay that the game otherwise relegates to a begrudging last resort. But when it hits it's stride, the enviroments unlock the player's tactical ambitions in a way that's truly empowering, launching you between shadow and light, discretion and aggression. In some ways it's sad to say goodbye to old, subtle Fisher, but as Splinter Cell goes from covert to overt, a new found dynamism emerges, happily driving players to return to it's vicious little sandbox battles, tempting them to obliterate enemies in ever slicker, quicker ways. And that's surely the hallmark of any true conviction: it bears repeating.

Despite limitations, the core of Red Steel 2 contains a combat system that weaves and crosses genres with all the finesse and grace of it's katana-weilding star. After the first game, the series was in need of a rethink; now all it needs is refinement.

quote:

Quote:
That's the problem - for all the spectacle of Resonance's gunfights, the game feels restrictive. It's a strategy game in which your tactical options are limited to one or two reliable strategies, and an RPG in which character development is chained to similar lines. There are some novel ideas here, but they exist within a system as strict and predictable as clockwork itself.

Quote:
In many ways it would be fitting to say that Retribution has the thirdperson shooter by the balls, but the game is too uneven and modest for that to be entirely appropriate. It's simple, enjoyable, and in wisely steerring clear of trying anything grand or complex, is an enjoyable if self-contained success.

Duality is at the heart of Tri - it is both tourism and dungeon crawl, reconnaissance and gung-ho attacks, hunter and gatherer, new and old. Full of solitary exploration, it's at it's best when played in groups. And so, burdened with Nintendo's expectations, it manages to be that rarest of things: a Wii game you've just got to try online.

Metro is at it's best deep underground, away from the demands of a modern action game and engrossed in the cultures that cling to it's tunnels, the atmosphere boosted by subtitled Russian and the writing and voice-acting creating fascinating windows into a struggling world. So it's a shame that the glimpses are fleeting, the enging seeming more at home with large numbers of stationary characters, lit beautifully and characterised by textured art design. With more to do down there in the doldrums, and a few more intimate stories to tell, Metro could have warranted a return ticket.

C&C has usually made useful, welcome changes to bridge the time-gap between core releases. With age often comes wisdom, but so too does poor memory and a dulling of the series. The latest C&C may be dressed in new age clothes, but there's no hiding what's underneath.

The new fighters slot straight into SSFIV's roster, and not one repeats what's already there. You can smash Ibuki into a corner and brutally dominate, or with cutting flurries she can do exactly the same to you. Juri's like a snake, pouncing and prowling across the stage. Dudley's got dreamily damaging target combos and endless ways to set up his super. This is brand new, yet it tastes vintage. Because it's nothing less than Capcom at it's best in the genre it defines.

quote:

Quote:
There is enjoyment to be had for those who like their games to test the mettle as well as provide escapism. Few other games, even at their most challenging, offer quite such a high as defeating one of the game's bosses. For less able players, Capcom has inserted a new easy mode. The result is a ar less stressfull experience, but a muted one, too. Without the brutal challenge it's a game that will take mere hours to finish and even fewer to forget.

quote:

Quote:
While playing with the more conventional controls (as opposed to a guitar controller) make for a more satisfying experience, they also expose the painful ordinariness of the game. Despite a visual language that borrows much from LittleBigPlanet's hand-made aesthetic, the bongo battering GameCube platformer Jungle Beat is arguably it's closest relation. Unfourtunatly, Fret Nice lacks the coherence and cleverness of both of those titles and sounds a bum note right from the beginning.

quote:

Quote:
The game is brief, and although adventures are randomised, encounters quickly begin repeating. The battles, meanwhile, are engaging despite their simplicity, and it's beatiful to watch each turn play out. You'll likely find you've had your fill of singleplayer after a few hours, but if you can find a friend to sit with you can play co-operatively or go head to head in skirmish mode. For it's low price, it's a good deal.

Epic readying TWO major announcements in April

Epic Games is to announce not one but TWO huge new games in the next 14 days, CVG can reveal: Gears Of War 3 and a shooter from EA for console and PC.

A source close to Epic told CVG that the EA game was due to be announced at the start of next week - but this has been pushed back due to Cliff 'Cliffy B' Bleszinski's delayed appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show, when Gears Of War 3 will get its first full unveiling.
