Board 8 > Today's gaming news -- 9/2/11

(+) Yeah! (+)

- Call of Duty XP is going on. MW3 multiplayer is debuting and there's a big tournament for a $1m cash prize. They're just doing press conferences and short movies right now and it's already above Evo for viewers. Take that, fighting game scene. You can watch it here - http://www.callofduty.com/xp/ Also there's a multiplayer trailer here - -- the Battlefield dorks are downvoting this trailer to hell. ha ha. Some kind of embargo is up in 30 minutes (probably multiplayer impressions) so there'll be news on every game site under the sun soon.

- Dragon Quest game being revealed on Monday in Japan, Sunday overnight in America. It'll be streamed by Square-Enix. This is probably DQ10 but it isn't confirmed. dqx.jp is now a legit website so it's probably going to be the official one once the announcement goes live. I think this could be really interesting - do they keep it on the Wii even though it's a quickly dying platform? Do they switch it to 3DS? Do they go with real-time battles or stay with the old stuff? If this isn't out in the next year then it's going to be a platform that hasn't had a real game out in a long time. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/09/02/dragon_quest_press_conference/

- Ridiculous UC3 trailer #4 here - http://www.giantbomb.com/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-cargo-plane-demo/17-4821/

UC3 trailer is pretty awesome, but I saw that thing a few days ago, actually.

SFxT has so many damn trailers

--
xyzzy

SFxT best trailers (worst teasers)

--
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I feel like they could increase the development by 3 months if they stopped teasing itself over and over

--

Ono pretty much gave it away what SF character it was.

LOL!!!! I hope that's a joke....names don't get more n00bish than that

If you were to tell me this was simply video footage of a new Black Ops map pack, I would 100% believe it. It seriously looks like they've changed nothing.

Worthy news - ACR beta starts today for PS+ users, or people who got a code from Ubisoft.

what's the beta? multiplayer?

I kinda hate how betas have turned into timed demos, but I don't know why I feel that way

--
xyzzy

Yeah, multiplayer. Runs from Sept. 3 - 11, then everyone will have a few days to try it.

--
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I am loving this COD XP press conference.

"Call of Duty Elite -- only 49.99 a month!" whole crowd boos.

Some Jeep guy on a partnership between COD and Jeep -- "We think Call of Duty and Jeep fit, and fit like a glove." This really happened.

--

So you first you buy XBL membership, THEN you buy CoD subscription

--
It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

everyone's doing DLC season passes now. this is no different, really. it's only a matter of time until you can buy a special edition that includes all the future DLC for like $100.

"Eh, I'll wait for the GOTY Edition" is a phrase I'm hearing more and more

wait, is call of duty elite seriously $50 a month?

--
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

four map packs in there -- that's $60

--
xyzzy

oh, $50 a year, my bad

--
xyzzy

Oh, okay, that's better! That seems like it'd be very popular with the people who play COD all year long.

And finally, subscribers will get to watch "Elite TV," a service of "premium episodic entertainment" themed around Call of Duty. None of that content is yet created, but Hirshberg suggested that two shows would begin the service: "Friday Night Fights," produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, which will pit real life rivals (like Democrats and Republicans or policemen and firefighters)

I want to see this. I want to see Presidential candidates in a COD match.

I want to see this. I want to see Presidential candidates in a COD match.

Obama: "And I'd like to conclude tonight's presidential debate by challenging Rick Perry to a friendly game of COD."

Newcasters: "The election could hinge on this match. Rick Perry could really swing opinions with the 18-25 male demographic if he can beat Obama here tonight."

--
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Haha. Greatest ever.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

CoD is a good game for presidental candidates to duel in because it plays to the lowest common denominator of voters.

It's F-Zero. F-ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO!

COD bah. I'd have much more respect for a candidate who played Timesplitters.

50 bucks a month? HOLY ****

--
A hare like me couldn't catch up to Black Turtle.

Tranny corrected himself, it's 50 a year.

--
Yes, I laugh at my own jokes.
http://lparchive.org/Metroid-Prime-3-Corruption/Images/1-sitandspinumos.gif

I think it's $50 a year.

As CoD is one of the few series of games I actually play anymore, I may consider the 50 a year.

Honestly, seems like the kind of thing to buy if you're gonna be playing the game for hundreds of hour/several months anyway. I'm thinking baout buying the GoW season DLC that's $40 bucks, because I'll probably buy it anyway, and now I get a 33% discount

Preorder your DLC today!

DLC: The Game looking more and more likely now.

I don't want a situation like Halo 3 where its like, "Oh you didn't buy the maps? LOL good luck getting into half the f***ing ranked playlists, b****!" There's a good way to fracture your playing base.

PS+? As in Playstation Network Plus?

Cause I has that and I love Assassin's Creed.
