Borderlands Legends! Pandora going Portable!

Image

So it has been announced that Borderlands Legends is set for Iphone and Tablets, the game will have the four original vault hunters from the first game; Roland as the Soldier, Brick as the Beserker, Lilith as the Siren and Mordercai as the Hunter. The game looks to be played by mostly top down perspective like a strategy game and is also said to have a new cover system, randomised missions and  it will also have fight for your life mode, perks and of course plenty of weapons!

So what are your thoughts on this game? do you think it will play well? How do you think they will intemperate game play with touch screen? Put your thought in a comment for me to check out 🙂

I’ll post more news on this when I find out more so I’ll keep an eye out!

Thanks to all who read, comment, follow etc its all much appreciated!

Happy Gaming!

As all gamers should know the Golden Joystick Awards start shortly, I voted myself and I was wondering who else voted and what they voted for? Some categories I couldn’t say much about like driving games as I don’t play them often. With the voting now closed a live stream will take place on the Friday, 26th October from 3pm BST (4pm CET, 5pm EET, 7am PDT)

The timing and date information i received on the website:

http://www.goldenjoystick.com/#null

www.computerandvideogames.com

Also both links above are where the live stream will take place, I myself will miss it due to work which is a bummer but ill sure to be catching all the highlights from it the next day@

I voted for Skyward Sword and Skyrim quite a bit as they are the best games this year in my opinion, I can’t quite remember my other votes. Anyways leave a comment telling me your votes and what was you ultimate game of the year? Was it one not mentioned in the voting poll?

Any feedback you give and any likes, comment, follows etc are very much appreciated!

Happy Gaming!

As a gamer and as a sort of game designer I’d like to start posting about concept art, I love concept art and appreciate the hard work that goes in it, I just wish I was good at it myself but as they do say practice makes perfect. I will post as much as I can on concept art so i’ll start planning to see what I can say about it, I may even upload some of my designs!

So what are your favourite concept art designs? Post a comment and let me know! So to kick start i’v put up one of the first pieces of concept art for The Legend of Zelda! A great game but primitive concept art, not that I could do much better lol I found this in Game Masters Legend of Zelda Special Edition Magazine some months ago and I found it interesting that such an amazing game can come from such art works, just goes to show that with enough will power you can come up with amazing ideas! 

Thanks to all who read, comment, favourite and follow it is all very much appreciated!

Happy Gaming!

The Legend of Zelda – WiiU – Rumours and Potential


So by now I’m sure everyone’s seen the tech demo given a while back at E3 (pictured above) which was used to show the graphic potential of the WiiU but I recently read news about a Zelda game which will start production soon and is due for 2014. Very exciting news as this is my favourite game franchises ever.. All news came from a source that have accuretly predicted WiiU achievements and WiiU social network. The news I heard about was about this being one of the biggest Zelda games ever and has the biggest team they have ever had working on a Zelda game, I can’t remember the exact number but I think they have over 100 people working on it (that I’m not 100% on though apologies) and they also said one dungeon alone will be as big as Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time for the N64 which for one dungeon is rather impressive! Other news includes the art style, they have stated that they were going to stick with Skyward Sword type graphic style but will have a HD style take on the art style which I think will look very impressive. Other things said included online gameplay or multiplayer.

Now for the controller, in a Zelda game the main uses for the controller will be for aiming and other gimmicks that are in Zelda games. other obvious ones will be a inventory screen for equipting items which was also shown in the old tech demo but i’d like to see them try doing something like using the controller as a shield, just one of my crappy examples but i’d like to see it have a more perminent use rather than just to aim it every now and then.

I’ll update or re-post this if I’ve missed anything but it is late and I best be going!

Mechromancer released today! – Borderlands 2 News!

Image

The Mechromancer has finally been released for Borderlands 2 today when it was originally set to release on the 16th October which is good news. The Mechromancer is a new character which has a new skill called the Deathtrap, a robot who is sent out to do big damage to enemies. Deathtrap has a 60 second cool down rate which seems quite long shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The Mechromancer comes with 3 new skill trees; Best Friends Forever, Little Big Trouble and Ordered Chaos.

All new skill trees are bringing differences which could change the way Borderlands 2 is played, the one that will bring the biggest difference is Ordered Chaos as this skill tree gives negative effects as well as giving positive ones such as the Anarchy skill which gives you better gun damage but takes away accuracy as you kill or reload a fully emptied magazine, this effect can stack 150 times giving the potential  for close up combat dealing a mass of damage! This skill tree will put some interesting gameplay for the class as it will change the way I play borderlands and will most likely change the way others play too giving fresh gameplay to the game.

Best Friends Forever gives the chance for new FPS players to play the game as certain skills allow people to regenerate health on full magazines and if the player isn’t very good at shooting there is a skills called Close Enough that allows miss aimed bullets to bounce of walls allowing damage to be done even if you’re not the best at aiming. This skill tree also has a great skill for the Deathtrap in which he will gain additional melee damage and duration time for every kill he makes which will carry on stacking with no cap until all the enemies are dealt with. A good idea for a skill tree in my eyes although personally I don’t think I’ll go for this one.

The next class is Little Big Trouble which focuses on the Shock element which is interesting as Borderlands hasn’t had a shock based character before, skills include giving out shock blast novas whenever you reload, killing enemies increased you burn, sock and corrosive damage. Other skills include killing enemies with critical hits gives out shock damage to nearby enemies which also works when Deathtrap kills an enemy.

Anyone who pre-ordered Borderlands 2 will get this update but for those who haven’t can buy it separate for around £7.99, if you’re in the US $9.99 and if you’re on Xbox it’ll be around 800 Microsoft points. Most info I got from the IGN website http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/10/09/borderlands-2-mechromancer-available-today

Thanks to all who read and also thanks to those who follow, like, comment and leave any feedback it’s all appreciated!

I’ll update the post or do a separate post with more information when I’v had the chance to play the character.

Happy Gaming!

A new Slender game! Slender: The Arrival Coming Soon!

A new Slender game is currently in development by Parsec Productions and Blue Isle Studios, the game is going to be called Slender: The Arrival which will have improved visuals, more levels, a story line and will hopefully be even more terrifying. A release date hasn’t yet been set all the website says is coming soon.

I personally will definitely get this game as I enjoyed Mark Hadley’s original Slender: The Eight Pages. Below is a snapshot of the new Slender game. Hopefully it will give many scares and I’m also looking forward to seeing what kind of storyline they will come up with.

Check out the website: http://www.slenderarrival.com/

I’ll keep this short as I have work to do!

Happy Gaming!
