Green Day: Rock Band Coming June 8
Written by from on March 11th, 2010 | 0 CommentsHarmonix and MTV Games announced today that Green Day: Rock Band is set for a worldwide release on June 8, 2010. The game features over 47 tracks, including “Brain Stew,” “Jaded,” “Hitchin’ a Ride,” “American Idiot,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” We expect to see a full track list teased in the coming months. It sounds like Harmonix is aiming to take a similar archival approach to The Beatles Rock Band , offering unlockable images and rare videos of interviews and performances. Unlike the Beatles version, however, we apparently won’t be seeing instruments in the style of Green Day’s own. This could be a sign that the days of large instrument bundles may be starting to wane, at least for spin-offs. Instead, the Wii standalone version is the cheapest option at $49.99, while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be $59.99. As previously reported the game supports song exporting, but it will cost you extra. The “Plus” edition is only for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and costs an extra ten bucks at $69.99. For the money, you get special packaging, the export feature, and access to six Green Day DLC tracks. From the sounds of it, these are the tracks already available on the Rock Band store, but with added visual flair.
Sony Considering God of War 3 DLC
Written by from on March 11th, 2010 | 0 CommentsGod of War 3 is due out next week, and Sony is mulling over the idea of adding downloadable content. VG247 reports that design director Todd Papy hinted at DLC at this year’s Game Developers Conference. “We’re talking about DLC, and the possibilities of it, to see if it’s worth for us to do it,” he said. “From a fan standpoint, I think it’s very worth it, but at the same time we don’t want to compromise our next projects.” If DLC does come, it may not be for a while. “We’re going to take a break, come back, look into new IPs, and at the same time we’re going to look and see if there is anything left in the God of War series that we feel is very compelling that we can sink our teeth into,” Papy said. If the team is planning to give the series a short rest before even starting development on DLC, it may actually be quite a while before any of it comes out. Papy refers to a few ideas the team is looking into, but says “we’ll see if it ever comes to market.”

EA Shows How Medal Of Honor Is Not Just Another WWII FPS
Written by from on March 11th, 2010 | 0 CommentsMy memories of Medal of Honor traditionally involve the Saving Private Ryan -esque level depicting D-Day, or highly scripted (and action-filled) gunfights-as-rollercoaster moments. So it’s pretty darn weird to see the new Medal of Honor take place in a period other than World War II, and on top of that, to see a pretty low-key (and downright stealthy) mission as opposed to a blazing shootout. Executive producer Greg Goodrich recently stopped by to show off a mission, and briefly talk about the new direction for Medal of Honor. Sure, this install maintains MOH’s core ethos of being a serious and realistic depiction of military combat — it just happens to also be the MOH that takes place in the modern day, carries an M-rating, and has two development teams working on different aspects, to boot.
