Wondering About MechWarrior Online

To say the MechWarrior franchise is storied would be a massive understatement. Part of the BattleTech universe, the precursor to the MechWarrior brand in the gamer conscious came by way of Westwood Studios, this blogger’s favorite studio when he was worried about cooties. Fast forward to 1994 and the first MechWarrior is released to the 8-bit gaming world. For many, it wasn’t until the series headed to PCs that it made a name for itself, furthered by a return to console.



Twenty three years after debuting, Piranha Games is finally ready to begin detailing the multiple title ahead of its 2012 release. MechWarrior Online! Piranha Games allows gamers to enter the vertical tanks and unleash all sorts of carnage on one another, from powerful lasers to missile assaults. The battles in these futuristic war machines are rarely the same thanks to changing terrain. Player customization, territorial control and intel warfare round out the offerings of the upcoming free-to-play game.

Elder Scrolls MMO to be Announced in May?

According to an industry insider, Bethesda and ZeniMax Online Studios are currently developing a MMORPG based on the Elder Scroll series, which will be announced in May of 2012.



The source also stated that the MMO will take place a millennium before Skyrim, during the Second Era, which is a few hundred years before any of the Elder Scroll games. The game will have three playable factions, each being represented by an animal.
Not much is known about the factions, except each is represented by one of three animals: A lion, a dragon, and a bird of prey (either a phoenix or an eagle, we aren’t sure).
It’s been known for some time that ZeniMax and Bethesda have been working on an MMO, due to job postings on the ZeniMax website, and through court papers all the way back in Jan 2010, when Bethesda and Interplay were in a legal dispute.

As recent as Sept 2011, Bethesda Game Director and Executive Producer, Todd Howard, came out against turning Elder Scrolls into a MMO; but it now seems this was only done to throw people off the trail. If this leak turns out to be true, that means at the very minimum, they’ve been working on this for over two years.
Bethesda and ZeniMax currently have not commented on this leak.

Aion: Ascension Goes F2P April 11th

NCSoft today announced that the free-to-play version of Aion will be launching on April 11th.  Aion will be truely F2P, with no content restrictions or account tiers. The highly anticipated update 3.0, called Aion: Ascension will bring with it two new systems, C.U.B.E and the Atreian Atlas.

C.U.B.E, which stands for Customizable User Bundling Experience, is just a fancy way of saying you’ll be able to make your own item-store bundles to purchase from the Aion Store. How it works is that players purchase the Cube from the Black Cloud Marketplace, then can place as many store-items into it as they can fit. There will be different size Cubes, at different price-points, depending how many items you want to buy. Pretty clever idea by not allowing players to buy just one item, instead only allowing bundles; which obviously costs a lot more.

The second major feature is the Atreian Atlas; which acts as a guide for players throughout the game. The system will provide players with quest details on past completed quests, upcoming ones including: quest difficulty, minimal suggested level, related quests, maps, videos, guides, boss info, etc. Pretty much everything you need to know in order to complete any quest, aside from the Atlas actually completing it for you.

Along with those two new features, update 3.0 will also raise the level cap to 60 (from 55), introduce two new zones, 6 new instances, and add more housing and mount choices.

Below you can watch the Aion: Ascension trailer.

Wrath of Heroes Nears Open Beta

It seems closed beta testing for Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes is coming to an end, and sometime next week, Bioware will announce the date for open beta.

A final internal test is currently underway, followed by a final rehearsal test this weekend, and if everything goes smoothly, we should get a date for open beta next week.

A new version is going through internal test at the moment and it comes with some very interesting additions. Before we open our servers around the clock, we plan to do a final rehearsal weekend to make sure that everything is in place and working.

Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan and we’ll be able to share the exact dates next week.

I’m not entirely sure if “dates” is a typo in the last sentence, or if they play on having multiple open beta tests, but I guess we’ll find out next week.

Blizzcon 2010 Reveals New Diablo III Info

Blizzcon 2010 Reveals New Diablo III Info



For fans of the hugely successful Diablo series from Blizzard Entertainment, BlizzCon offers the chance to learn more about next instalment coming soon to Macintosh and PC: Diablo III. Although the incredible gameplay trailers have certainly whetted their fair share of appetites, it’s all in the details now: Will the game be multiplayer and in what way? What classes will there be? Etc.


New Class: Demon Hunter
Blizzard have announced the final class to feature in the epic Diablo III: the demon hunter. This class will fit in alongside the Barbarian, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard and will offer great proficiency with gadgets, explosives and traps in addition to the more traditional ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows, in combination with the old dagger and short sword.

Described as part ranger, part bounty hunter, the demon hunter will have a visually distinct look designed to be sexy yet dark. Obviously, the attire will be in keeping with the general medieval feeling but the demon hunter will wear scarves, leggings and armguards that set it apart from other classes.


Battle.net Integration
Players will be happy to hear that Diablo III will feature both single-player and multi-player modes. Although the game will obviously not be an MMORPG for Mac, linux or windows it will offer cooperative multiplayer gaming via the Battle.net network. This means that players will be able to party with their friends over the internet to work through the game universe together.

There is still one piece of information we were hoping for which unfortunately didn’t arrive: a release date. Hopefully Blizzard will get their skates on and finish this one soon, but until then at least we still have the awesome demo footage to drool over.
