Gaming Thread 11/3/2013Yesterday kicked off Extra Life 2013, where people get to the Twitch for gaming marathons to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. Can't believe how fast this thing has grown in just a few years. Will be interesting in seeing how much they raise this year, hopefully $5 million plus. Find a stream, watch and donate stuff below • Paul Allen's Vulcan Capital wants Microsoft to spin off Xbox and Bing. • Since they deferred profits from GTAV, Take-Two's profits are down. • GungHo's (Puzzles & Dragons) revenue drops. • Would you like a new game in the 7th Guest series? Well, they're asking for money on kickstarter • South Park: The Stick of Truth gets another delay. Now it's has a release date of March 4th. • A teaser trailer for The Walking Dead: Season 2. Apparently you play as Clem. After finally playing 400, I dunno if I want a season 2 to be frank. • Long time coming but upcoming FPS Puzzler, Reset gets it's teaser trailer. It was worth the wait, it's a pretty good trailer • Anyone else remember the under-rated SNES game, Blackthorne from Blizzard? Well, they're now giving it away for free through Battlenet. • Peggle 2 is missing the XONE launch, will be out in December • New Sony rewards program. Spend $6000 for $60 in credit. • New Privacy Statement for Xbox • This isn't really gaming related but this is just cool • New trailer showing off Orchid and announcing Spinal which makes 7. They also let it out that the eighth character will be *surprise* Fulgore since the stream on Friday, all of Orchid's winning quotes dealt with Ultratech which is Fulgore. • No, I don't understand why they bothered with a Heavenly Sword DTV movie either. Still have a Ratchet & Clank movie trailer to come....oh joy • Steam hits the 65 million users milestone. Didn't know there were that many TF2 botters. • If rumors are correct, AMD won't be holding the crown in GPUs for more than a few weeks as the leaked benchmarks from a few places puts the 780ti above it. Also, it's rumored that there will be 6GB and 12GB variants of it. And to top it off, there might be a special edition of it dubbed Black. A 12 gig version is totally overkill at the moment but man, so much epeen • Out of the FAQ, we finally get an actual launch day lineup and not this nebulous thing. Physical releases: Digital: Wish I saw the footage from the XONE (720p) and PS4 (900p) before I started playing BF4 on my PC to have a more forward opinion as frankly, I think they're both pretty fugly in that comparison. As for it being on consoles, I don't think either are that bad looking, especially since I expected a bigger gulf considering the hardware disparity. Though that might have been rare optimism from me as you're still looking at two low budget PCs (more so than any other next gen comparison). Guess the adage that has been true for the last 10 years stands, buy a console if you want exclusives and sports (outside of the Football Manager and OOTP series) games, if you want eye candy, buy a PC. Some reason though with the launch games looking that they are, I don't even know if we will get a year out of launch before people start bitching about consoles holding back graphics on the PC. As for COD Ghosts running at 720p on the XONE and 1080p, your guess is as good as mine as what they've shown, that game doesn't look good on any platform (PC included). I totally agree with Richard Leadbetter though: "Microsoft itself has made the story about parity with the competition, when highlighting what makes Xbox One unique in terms of exclusive games, services and functionality - along with more effort in returning some of the magic to Kinect - may have served Xbox One more effectively in the run-up to launch." Call of Duty: Ghosts (everything under the sun) - Another year, another Call of Duty game. Considering how hard this game has started to slide on sales, this should be interesting. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collection (360, PS3) - Well, you can play two of the worst Castlevania games (it includes a Lords of Shadow 1 and a HD remaster of 3DS game, Mirror of Fate). God I really miss Iga. The Guided Fate Paradox (PS3) - Like Z.H.P for the PSP, this isn't exactly your standard SRPG as it's more Roguelike than a typical NIS game. It's not supposed to be super hard but I'm a sucker for these type of games. XCOM: Enemy Within (PC, 360, PS3) - With the advent of cutting up expansion packs piecemeal to be sold as DLC, it's kinda refreshing to get one again. A bunch of new stuff is being added. If you wanted more of everything, you're getting it. Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies (iOS, PC) - Though a bit limited in mission variety, I really dug the first game. More stuff to blow up, this time set in the Pacific Theater. They've said that they dropped the IAP so it's just a single price for everything. Avadon 2: The Corruption (PC) - This totally came out last week but I don't care, I'm mentioning it anyways. The games that Jeff Vogel and company makes are rare releases these days and it's a shame. I'm only a few hours into this one but it pretty good and so far you don't need to have played the first one to not be lost (though you should since it's good and the history in the world will be deeper). And it's only $10 retail.
