Brutal Legend Free DLC Coming

Posted by Ronald Tillmon II aka R2 Deuce On October - 30 - 2009

brutal-legend1


PSU writes;


Double Fine Productions and Electronic Arts announced today that the PlayStation 3 version of Brutal Legend is getting free DLC on November 5. This exclusive content is available free for two weeks exclusively on the PSN.


The content will include two multiplayer maps – The Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord. It will also include the Blade of Ormagöden axe, coming to you thanks to the folks at Double Fine, Sony, and EA.


Here’s what Tim Schafer said in a press announcement: “I play Brutal Legend online every night, and I need more maps! Circle of Tears is named after the crying of my vanquished foes on the battlefield, and Death’s Fjord is obviously a tribute to my Nordic ancestors, and their love of fan geysers and… Well, actually I just thought the name was cool. See you online!”


It sounds like this is only the first of multiple downloadable packs.

RUMOR: Wii2 To Embrace Blu-ray Offering 1080p Games & Movies

Posted by Derrick Smith On October - 29 - 2009

wii2bluray1080p

If you’re new to the gaming industry you will quickly learn that throughout the industry rumors run rampant. Nevertheless, many of these so-called rumors never ceae to amaze as oftentimes they are actually true.  


Of course this latest rumor isn’t something we at Thevolution Network are signing off as bonfide or factual, as no word from Nintendo has been expressed on the validity of this rumor. However, it does sound quite interesting.    


According to MAXCONSOLE, some news on the next Nintendo console (Wii2) has been leaked speculating that the console will support a blu-ray formay enabling the system to offer both 1080p movies and games.


Check out what is being noted:


- The Wii2 system will feature a Blu-Ray drive with a secondary aim of stopping piracy.
- 1080P and lower resolutions will be supported, for blu-ray movies and games.
- The release date is scheduled for third quarter of 2010.
- The release will be worldwide and on the same day for all countries.
- A scheme will be available in which it is possible to trade in the original Wii for a cheaper price on the new Wii 2.


Let’s play with the possibility that this does happen for a minute. Today the blu-ray format is much more afforable to manufacture which could be advantageous for Nintendo as they could enter the HD gaming arena not only offering great looking games and blu-ray movie playback but they could introduce this new console at a competitively affordable price point.


Another point to consider is how this could positively affect the blu-ray market. It’s no secret that the blu-ray market is ever-increasing as the format of choice for more and more consumers looking to upgrade their home movie experience. In addition this would also provide more money in the pockets of Sony in the long run. Based on the possibilities this move could also force Microsoft to adopt format as well.


With more than 50% of the current marketshare during this console generation this rumored move by Nintendo could be a great way for developers to bring over their AAA titles at a low cost with the potential of great financial reward. If this does happen don’t be surprised to see many PS3 and Xbox 360 multiplatform titles being offered on the Wii2.

As you look over this list of trophies for Assassin’s Creed II from the link below for the PS3, there really is no reason not to believe these trophies are not the real deal. Of course this is not a confirmation article with Ubisoft references however, we’re pretty much sold that more than 90% of the trophies revealed are legit. 


Ultimately the true confirmation will definitely take place when we finally get a chance to wield Ezio November 17.

Naughty Dog writes;


Hitting the PSN today is UNCHARTED: Eye of Indra – a four episode Motion Comic – it’s an original prequel story to UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune. We’ve been working on this baby for the past year and it’s been brutal not being able to talk about it.


For those unfamiliar with them, a Motion Comic is essentially an animated comic book – you watch it like a movie. Characters move, there’s some 3D effects, and cool panel transitions. Expect some of your favorite characters and voice-actors from the UNCHARTED universe to show up throughout the story. Other than Nolan North reprising his role as Nathan Drake, I can’t announce who else shows up in the story as that’ll spoil some of the fun.


We’re launching the first episode for free to whet your appetite and the rest of the episodes will come out in November. Be on the lookout for an upcoming announcement about an awesome pack-in that we’ll include with future episodes.
