Latest Gaming and MMORPG Updates


Warface (CN)

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 09:28 AM PST


After being tormented previously by the buggy launcher, a fix was found and I was able to get into the Closed Beta phase for Warface. Developed by Crytek Korea using CryEngine 3, Warface is the first online title from the studio and aiming to crack the China market first, with the help of the country’s biggest publisher Tencent Games. Once again, I am a total noob at online shooters, so do spare me the taunts~

I actually did introduce the game before (link), so I wouldn’t touch much on the basics. There are 4 classes (I am playing as Assault in all footage), AI PvE maps, PvP maps, weapons customization (not available now) and some pretty new moves, for example the sliding attack.

There are certainly more maps, for example the AI PvE one fighting against a giant mecha, but due to the lack of players at this phase, it is really hard to find a room with enough players.

So, how did the game felt for me? Overall, it is just slightly above average due to mechanics such as needing 2 players to reach some platforms or to push heavy objects out of the way, but much of the credit goes to the visually stunning graphics Warface has to offer. I feel that the game shouldn’t really be judged so early at this stage, I shall wait for more content to be added before going more in-depth.

Yeah Dead Space 2 did come out this year

I loved that game. I guess this might be one of the reasons why devs wait for there games, so they won’t be forgotten.

Nintendo Direct Event Scheduled for Next Week

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 03:21 PM PST

3DS special edition systems

Much like it did in October, Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct broadcast with only a few days’ notice.

The official Nintendo Direct Ustream page has been updated with a date and time for its next broadcast. The event is set to take place in Japan on Tuesday and, like last time, it will be conducted in Japanese. For those in the United States who want to watch along, language barrier or not, the stream will start on Monday night at 10PM Eastern, 7PM Pacific.

October’s event was focused entirely on 3DS. We learned some early details on the system update that was delivered earlier this month including the ability to record 3D movies and updates for some of the built-in StreetPass games. Nintendo also announced some special edition, Mario-themed 3DS systems (pictured above) available in select quantities to those in Japan, as well as plans to release a 3D Classics version of Kid Icarus.

Next week’s event promises to feature more than just 3DS news, but you probably shouldn’t count on seeing anything new on Wii U — with the company’s CES presence only featuring what was seen at E3, Nintendo appears to be content with waiting to show what Wii U stuff it has been working on.

Nexon becomes world’s 5th largest game company

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 03:21 PM PST


With Nexon officially now up on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company’s value has now sky-rocketed, now occupying the top seat as Korea’s biggest gaming company. But that is not all. On a global scale in terms of company value, Nexon is now only behind companies such as Nintendo, Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts. GREE, the Japanese social media platform now occupying in 4th, is poised to relinquished the position to Nexon in just a few months according to analysts.

What about its biggest rival, NCsoft? Nexon is now worth about 15% more, with Nexon’s CEO now the 3rd richest man in South Korea, just behind the bosses of Samsung Electronics and car maker Hyundai. Overall, Dungeon Fighter Online is currently Nexon’s biggest money maker, contributing to 30.9% of the revenue and MapleStory at 26.3%. Global wise, revenue from China contributed 37.5%, Korea at 32.7% and Japan at 14.3%. There is apparently no numbers for North America given, which is included in the rest of the remaining percentage.
