Ubisoft Planning Far Cry 3 Already (LINK)

August 28th 2008 00:22
far cry


Far Cry is synonymous with lush forest settings, and if the rumours are true the third installment is due to stay that way.
Coming out of the Leipzig Games Convention, Ubisoft’s Patrick Redding let loose that the teams plans are already in “preliminary stages”. Redding went on to say that the entire team loved the African setting (And who wouldn't? All that combustible material and massive wild game animals) and think there is scope to stick with it for some time.

Of course, that's the PR side of things. The practical side is that the team could put together the next title quite quickly and easily and "save time" due to the work already done creating a virtual Africa. As Joystiq have assumed, you would expect that that time could be used to flesh out a storyline and create some great sequences.

Fallout 3 MA15 and coming October 17th!
11/08/2008

Today is a great day for Australian Fallout fans! After recent news that Fallout 3 had been refused classification by the OFLC, many of us were worried that we wouldn't see one of the biggest game of the year. But fear no more - the OFLC has just awarded Fallout 3 an MA15 rating for Strong violence, drug references and coarse language.

Not only that, but the new release date of October 17th has now been confirmed by RedAnt, as well as the EB Games exclusive Collector's Edition!

So get pre-ordering Fallout fans! Numbers of the super-hot exclusive Collector's Edition are limited, and it's not something you want to miss out on! You can check out more details of this EB Games exclusive Collector's Edition by clicking on a pack-shot below.

Fallout 3 Receives MA15 Rating For Australia

August 11th 2008 13:38
Fallout 3 rating


Australian Gamer have been kind enough to confirm the GamerChip story regarding the edited version of Fallout 3 hitting Australian shelves. The OFLC has decreed that fifteen years and older gamers will have a very similar version to that released around the civilized world - the one with the 18 rating. Details will come to hand soon as to the exact nature of these changes, but it would seem to be fairly cosmetic, such as drugs being renamed. The sexually explicit content, not having been raised as the cause of the ban originally looks to remain intact.

This cannot be a good situation for the developer or customers. Development time would be extended, and the cost associated to that and the loss of sales over a watered down version is just not sustainable. At least the debate is getting airplay, perhaps it will only be a matter of time before this ridiculous state of affairs is sorted out. If I were only thirty years older I would write the newspapers.

Fallout 3 Confirmed For Australian Release

August 1st 2008 04:28
fallout 3


Fallout is an apt name for upcoming game. The Australian media has been whipped into the closest thing to a frenzy we have here for the gaming industry over the ban on the upcoming Bethesda title Fallout 3. But according to EB Games and GAME representatives, Australia will be receiving the game, albeit in a modified format. The new, friendlier version, will have the drug use removed that saw the game banned in the first place. Both EB Games and GAME are currently taking pre-orders for the title. One representative from GAME, contacted this Thursday night, (after hammering home the "do you want to pre-order?" spiel) said that he had read on their internal communications only an hour before that Fallout 3 would be released this year

EndWar And The Future Of RTS

July 2nd 2008 02:23
Tom Clancy Endwar


The future of the RTS will be redifined by the PC and console wars. It has been the electronic evolution of tabletop gaming up to this point, where it is taking a life of its own. Many aspects remain the same, such as the top down view and dice rolling in the background, while now the lines are blurring between RPG and FPS. With the acceleration of technology and broader gaming audience, RTS is set to change in the future

Diablo 3


Blizzard have put us out of our collective miseries by finally revealing Diablo 3 will be hitting shelves in the foreseeable future (although being Blizzard that time will be when they decide it's the right time). And in a questionable departure from the tried and true formula that has rarely been successfully repeated since, Blizzard says RPG elements will be heavily featured

Ubisoft Fix Vegas 2 By Cloning COD 4

June 29th 2008 01:54
fan pack


One of the most disappointing releases of the year has to have been Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Fans has rightfully blasted Ubisoft for releasing a game that was nothing more than an expansion of the original title. It it were half the price the fans may have accepted it, but with very few new gameplay innovations and ported maps from the original Rainbow Six, most gamers just felt ripped off. Sales have reflected this, turning the much loved franchise into a turkey
