[PC, X1, X360] Game Informer app leaks Respawn's new game, Titanfall
Respawn Entertainment, founded by staff who experienced a rough split with Activision, is working with EA to create a new game. That used to be all that we knew about the game until today.
Game Informer's Google Play app has leaked the next issue a little bit early; so early in fact that it has revealed the mysterious new game that has been kept under wraps at Respawn. I genuinely feel sorry for those at Game Informer because this leak has certainly ruined their day.

Titanfall is the name of Respawn's first game and it appears to be in development for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. You can get the full scoop over at NeoGAF in a thread where users have picked out a lot of information from the cover story. However, the key nuggets of information concern Respawn's plan to use Microsoft's Cloud for dedicated servers and physics/AI calculations. It will be a first-person shooter that also includes mech combat; these mechs are known as 'Titans' (hence the name) and will feel fast.

According to the piece the game is aiming for a Spring 2014 release. Respawn are working on the Xbox One and PC version; another studio is developing the Xbox 360 version.

Titanfall is exclusive because Respawn thought it'd be easier to start off their first game by focusing on a single platform; they are open to multiplatform after this is completed.

Keep your eyes out for this game during Microsoft's press conference; I bet they would have liked it to have stayed a secret as well.

[PC, PS3, X360] Assassin's Creed 3 gameplay details leaks

[PC, PS3, X360] Assassin's Creed 3 gameplay details leaks

So yeah, we don't officially know anything about Assassin's Creed III besides the fact that it is set during the American Revolution but now some additional details pertaining to the gameplay and world from the April issue of Game Informer.

The main character is half English and half Mohawk Indian, he is called Connor / Ratohnhake:ton. Yes, he'll have hidden blades as well as having the tomahawk and knife constantly equipped to allow for multiple takedowns and chain kills. There will also be no more target locking in the third main installment, with counter and defense now being attached to the same button. You'll be able to use a number of context sensitive actions, such as using people as human shields. A new dynamic camera will track the action to make the combat and gameplay look even more cinematic than previous entries.

Assassin's Creed III will allow you to experience Connor's childhood on the frontier. The Mohawk clash with white colonists, who in the end burn down their village causing Connor to dedicate his life to confronting injustice and tyranny. Don't fret about the overall story though, it is still focused on the Assassins versus the Templars.

It is set during the years 1753-1783 around the areas of Boston and New York. Some of the main characters you'll meet include George Washington, Ben Franklin (who plays the role that da Vinci in previous Assassin's Creed titles), and the mysterious Charles Lee. You'll see the great fire of New York and you'll visit the Valley Forge when it is occupied by Washington's forces.

This time the world is centered on The Frontier, the area is 1.5 times larger than the world of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. By the sounds of it you can expect the gameplay to feature some very Red Dead Redemption-like qualities, such as hunting and pelt gathering. People wondering how climbing and parkour will work in this game needn't worry, there'll be cliffs, trees and ledges to allow you to set up kills and select opportune moments to enter combat. Also, Connor will have hidden blade, a lot of people had been fretting after not having seen them in any art.

Assassin's Creed III is due to release on the 30th of October for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Make of this what you will, but this little snippet of footage has leaked out onto the internet.
God of War 4 has been swirling the internet in several different CVs and causing plenty of rumours to surface but nothing solid has been confirmed yet. This trailer is far from confirmed as being official, but God of War 4 does seem like something that will become a reality. What are your thoughts?

[PS3, X360, PC] Mass Effect 2 Patch Leaks 'Arrival' Trophies

[PS3, X360, PC] Mass Effect 2 Patch Leaks 'Arrival' Trophies
A patch that was released today has injected some new trophies that give us a hint of what might be next for BioWare before we get Mass Effect 3 later this year. When gamers patched their games, a new trophy set was made available.

It is titled 'Arrival' and contains three bronze trophies. They are The Ultimate Sacrifice, Last Stand and Covert Action. The one that provides the biggest hint is the Covert Action trophy which mentions Dr. Amanda Kenson, whom you have to rescue without alerting hostiles to your presence. Here is what a recent entry about Kenson from the Cereberus Network had to say:

Quote:Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus. Her team claims that by testing the dust trapped in the gravity wells around a mass relay, and comparing its composition to that of dust clouds in the same system, scientists can create a timeline of when the relay passed through the dust. Her conclusion?

"Only a small fraction of the mass effect relays date back 50,000 years," she writes, "The majority are far older, indicating they were created by a species predating even the Protheans." Dr. Aurana T'Meles of the University of Serrice met the information with skepticism: "While Dr. Kenson's methods appear sound, the asari tried a similar procedure centuries ago and discounted it. What civilization could have spanned the galaxy for not thousands, but millions of years? If this were the case, we should have found mountains of evidence of their passing. Where is this species now?"

We don't know when to expect this new DLC pack, but it could be what bridges the gap between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 (which is due to release late 2011). What would you like to see from it? And do the Ultimate Sacrifice and Last Stand trophies give you a bad feeling about what is to come?
