Ubisoft confirms Watch Dogs resolution and FPS for next gen consoles

Excited for the Watch Dogs release this May 27? Awesome. Getting the next-gen version? Well, you better sit down for this, Ubisoft confirms the resolution and fps for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 

It was weird enough that no word was given earlier on  the specs with a game already a few weeks away. But Ubisoft has finally confirmed that Watch Dogs will run in 900p on PlayStation 4 and 792p on Xbox One, with both version of the game running at 30 fps.

Is this an issue? Not really, resolution and Frames Per Second is only a small chunk of what makes a game. But when we see advertising seen below, people will start flipping tables. Oh Sony...

But they have taken back their claims of the game running on 60 FPS and on 1080p resolution. With all this confusion to make the game sell, it's about time Ubisoft has given the official word.

Watch Dogs launches on May 27 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC. The Wii U version of the game is still coming but will be released on a later date.

Is it disappointing to see it not run on 60FPS? Will that affect your buying decision? Or the resolution? Sound off on the comments below.

Humble Bundle releasing a new bundle everyday for 14 days

We all know how crazy Humble Bundle is right? The game bundle that allows you to choose how much you would pay for the bundle, all the way down to a measly $1? Well, they are going all out for the rest of May. Ready your wallets, because Humble Bundle will be offering a new bundle everyday for 14 days. Can you resist the urge? 

We thought their Spring Sale was an amazing sale for the Summer, but they really want your money. This bundle is of course for the developers and charity...is it? The first bundle in the Humble Daily Bundle is a re-bundle of Deep Siver's Games. You know, Dead Island, Saint's Row? Those games. If your on the cheap side, you can get 4 games for as low as $1, go a little higher like $6 will add five more games to the bundle, pay more than $9 and you get Dead Island and everything else below. Great stuff. Again, it's for charity, so think about that as we pile up our already crowded backlog.

Check the Humble Daily Bundle here. And if none of the games listed interest you, check back tomorrow or the day before that for a new bundle. Heck, check their Spring Sale at the Humble Store, you might find that game you've always wanted at a discount.

Heroes of the Storm officially launching in four South East Asia countries

Blizzard's upcoming MOBA Heroes of the Storm is officially coming to South East Asia. Asiasoft in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, Inc will be in charge of operating and marketing the game in Thailand and Singapore while Asiasoft's subsidiaries, CiB Net Station, will handle the game in Malaysia. For the Philippines, well, we have Level Up! in charge of the game's operations...great. 

So what does that mean? Nothing is clear at this point, we have yet to hear the details on what makes it different from  officially launching the game in respected countries rather than simply logging in through Battle.net through their Asian servers once the game goes live. But official releases in South East Asia for highly anticipated games are always welcomed.

As of this posting, distribution of Heroes of the Storm is still download-only. We'll have to wait to see what are the launch plans for each country.

"Heroes of the Storm will bring together many of the most popular heroes and villains from more than 20 years of Blizzard games," said Paul Sams, COO of Blizzard Entertainment. "Our focus on team combat and map-based objectives make the game accessible to new players, while offering depth for competitive gamers as well. We believe gamers in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines will love playing Heroes of the Storm."

With the sudden rise of the MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre, it's only fitting to have Blizzard finally entering the fray. It's currently crowded thanks to games like League of Legends, Dota 2, and Smite, but from what we see in the early stages of the game's beta, their sole aim is to retain the team-play aspect while providing something completely new.

Heroes of the Storm is currently on Alpha testing and no release date has been given. For the mean time, watch Raynor battle Diablo, while Kerrigan dog fights Tyrael in the air in this trailer. God those cinematics...
