New Call of Duty reveal on May 1
Activision will be revealing the next Call of Duty at the start of May during the Basketball playoffs on TNT. The official Call of Duty website has been updated with this announcement.
GameInformer reports that Call of Duty: black Ops 2 is rumored to be the next Call of Duty. The information was from a french retailer showing even a release date of the game. So this could be it.
Will it be Black Ops 2 on May 1? I don't really care. What I really want to see for this next Call of Duty is a graphics upgrade really. The fact that there's always a Call of Duty title every year makes this announcement not that exciting.
New Super Mario 2 revealed for 3DS, out in four months
Nintendo revealed New Super Mario 2, a 2D side scroller Mario game for the Nintendo 3DS. What's shocking is that its set for an August release. In my experience, Mario will always come out a ton of fun, and the fact that it will be out in four months is a real treat for 3DS owners.
It's the same side scrolling Mario game we all know and is fairly similar to the latest Super Mario Bros. from the Wii and the first game. Only information at the moment was the release date and a few screenshots.
This is what the 3DS needs, but I think they need more. Would you get yet another 2D Mario game? I say why not?
EA teases you with a teaser trailer for Crysis 3
EA just released a teaser showing a glimpse of Crysis 3 gameplays. It's just 20 seconds long but it sure got me excited. Crytek sure knows how to make a bow look awesome. Check out the teaser below.
Full gameplay trailer will be revealed on April 24, so look out for that.
Crysis 3 is set for a 2013 release for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Diablo 3 open to all this weekend
Blizzard just announced Diablo 3's Open Beta weekend. If your anxious as I am to give Diablo 3 a try before its worldwide release on May 15, here's our chance. As long as you have a valid Battlenet account, you can join in on the open beta this weekend.
You can start downloading the client now and start playing Diablo 3 this weekend. You'll have access to all classes but only able to progress up to level 13.
The open beta is from From Friday, April 20 at 12:01 p.m. PDT (noon), until Monday, April 23 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
This for me is considered a demo of the game since the game is less than a week away from release.
Prey 2 not canceled, says Bethesda
With the rumors going around that Prey 2 has been cancelled, Bethesda has finally given an update to put those rumors to rest. The project is not dead, but it's currently not meeting the standards of Bethesda. Thus, the 2012 release date won't be happening anymore.
The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards.
Prey 2 was unveiled last year and has been shown to numerous events including last year's E3. During E3, they revealed a playable demo of the game which to me looked amazing. After E3, the developer Human Head went silent for months showing no progress of Prey 2. 2012, the year of it's possible release and no new content was being revealed, then the rumors starting flying of its cancellation.
Production did not go as planned and while Bethesda did not cancel the project, it sounds like it was hanging by a thread.
We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule.
Prey 2 shows a lot of promise from what was shown last year. Hopefully everything goes well over at Human Head.
With Prey 2 out of 2012, Bethesda is not focusing on they're new title Dishonored.
