Galactus unlockable in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be out on November 15th, with 12 new characters to master, better online features(doubt it), and more game modes. One of those modes is the ability to play as Galactus. Not an actual character unlock, just an entirely different mode to smack around Marvel and Capcom characters. Guess they're adding whatever mode to let every fan feel like it's worth buying the game again.

The game mode isn't there when you start-up the game, you'll have to farm 30,000 PP(Player Points) in order to play as the big baddie. There's a way around it though,  if you still have you're save file for Marvel vs Capcom 3 it will be instantly unlocked. Great, For buying the first game a few months ago, we get the Galactus game mode unlocked right away, uh thanks?

Still not sure if I want this game on day one. I'm drowning with games at the moment and I feel just about set for 2011. We'll see if my curiosity get's the best of me on release. Fighting game fans though should not miss this. Lot's of new  interesting characters and unusual ones too.

Ubisoft confirms a new Assassin's Creed for 2012

 

After the release of Assassin's Creed 2 back in 2009, Ubisoft has been releasing a new Assasin's Creed title each year. With Assassin's Creed:Revelations coming out soon, Ubisoft confirms that they will indeed release yet another one for 2012.

This is no surprise. The bigger question is if  their rushing this franchise out the door. Usually when a great game developer creates an amazing game, they aim higher for the sequel, this is not the case for Assassin's Creed after the second game. This franchise seems that they're fine going sideways - progress in the story but have small changes to the game.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed the next Assassin's Creed for 2012 during the company's earning call. "There will be another great, full-fledged Assassin’s Creed title next year," he said. "It will be a major release and we’ll be communicating more about it in the coming months."

Assassin's Creed: Revelations will be out in a few weeks and will be the last chapter for Ezio and Altair. This game for 2012 will revolve around the last story arc left; Desmond Miles.

If Assassin's Creed 3 is actually coming next year, or maybe Assassin's Creed:[insert title here], I doubt it will be the last. They could easily find different story arc's to keep the Assassin's Creed franchise rolling.

I'm not a big fan of games having around a year of development time, so I'm kinda iffy about it. Quality could suffer. Releasing a new title each year hopefully won't come as a regular for future franchises. I'm fine waiting for the sequel just like the rest.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations is still on its way and will be out on November 15 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Trucks carrying MW3 shipments get jacked!

There are some crazy people out there. A trucking carrying 6,000 copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was hijacked in France.

The story goes that two men rammed the delivery truck using a van, came out wearing hoods or skimasks armed with knives then used teargas to knock the drivers down while making off with the loot. The shipment was said to be worth 400,000 Euros. That's not the end of the story. Another truck was hijacked in France on Saturday. This time with 3 men who used a "weapon" to stela the whole truck after blocking the road. That truck was said to have 380,000 Euros worth of MW3 copies.

It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.

Phoenix Wright movie looks about right

The live action Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban) movie gets a real trailer and I stand by my claim that it looks like they nailed it.

The intensity of the court battles looks to be brought to life the right way, with powerful shouting, finger pointing, and crazy hair styles. Evidence being presented via hologram screens is a very nice touch. If you want a videogame-to-liveactionmovie done right, get a director who knows and loves the source material enough to do it justice. Takashi Miike, do not disappoint me.

I do have one gripe though. Why does Maya look so old?

Skyrim getting a day one patch

Most of the world consider this week Call of Duty week. For some(including me), its Skyrim week. Elder Scrolls : Skyrim will be out on friday and expect a day one patch. What is the patch notes for? Bethesda has not released the patch notes. Whatever this patch fixes, I hope we all get a bug free gaming session when we get it on day one. You know how Bethesda is with their games.

News of this day one patch came from a NeoGAF thread where Bethesda community manager Nick Breckon confirmed the update Skyrim will be out on November 11 and I just can't wait. With my PC not strong enough to play the latest games coming out, I'll have to play the console version. Getting the 360 version of the game, why?? because based on the thread, Xbox owners get future DLC's a month early, similar to Fallout: New Vegas. Sad yes, PC should get this treatment. Anyways,While reading about the day one patch, the thread also revealed a current bug for Xbox 360 versions.

installing the game to your HDD currently seems to be bugged. An installed version of the game will have trouble loading the game's high-res textures, whereas running the game from the disc will not. See this post for more information.

Hopefully this get's fix quick. Pretty unusual bug, if you want your textures to load properly, avoid installing the game in your HDD for now. If not, go right ahead.

Skyrim is coming out in the Philippines on time, thanks to Datablitz. When you see pre-order deals, it's a sure-ball release date for us. While I appreciate the increased number of pre-orders coming from them,  getting a Skyrim mug if you pre-order the game isn't enough incentive at all.  Playstation 3 and PC will be the preferred platform here so the number of people getting the 360 version is pretty slim. So I'm not worried that I have no reservation or such. Worse case, I'll just go on a hunt on friday. Anybody getting the latest Elder Scrolls? if so, what platform?
