Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising – 2nd DLC Pack In Development

Posted in Codemasters, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , , on November 27, 2009 by Chris Hawke

Despite communication problems meaning that the first piece of DLC for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising isn’t out on PS3 yet, Ian Webster, Codemasters’ Community Manager has confirmed that the 2nd piece of DLC is in development for consoles:

“Just to keep you in the loop with what is happening this end, we wanted to let you all know that we currently have a 2nd DLC pack currently in development for the Xbox 360 & PS3.

Can’t give out too many specific details at the moment, but the pack will include amongst other things additional MP modes, as we realised that this was something the community were very much asking for in any new DLC.

As soon as I can release the full content of the upcoming DLC, I will be sure to let you know.”

Good news, then. You can read the full post here.

New Ubisoft Game Soon To Be Announced

Posted in Ubisoft on November 26, 2009 by Chris Hawke

The is the gift that keeps on giving. Taking a break from revealing male nudity in Heavy Rain, they’ve left this tweet;

“Ooh interesting news from Ubi about a soon-to-be announced game that a) isn’t too far off and b) we definitely want to play.”

Isn’t far off? Definitely want to play? If we’re excluding the recently leaked Far Cry 3, then Driver 5 or a new Prince Of Persia are our best bets.

2K Games Announces Borderlands DLC

Posted in 2k Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , on November 25, 2009 by James Love

2K Games announced today that the first game add-on content for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, is now available for download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network for 800 Microsoft Points and £6.29, respectively.

Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned does his job a little too well, creating flesh eating zombies and other ghastly abominations that now run rampant in this region. Players will have to work alongside Dr. Ned as they embark on an explosive journey to cure the decaying inhabitants of Jakobs Cove in this expansion filled with new formidable enemies, new grueling quests and rare loot drops.

“We are very excited to present fans of the highly acclaimed Borderlands with the first expansion,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned presents a bold new storyline that entertains and excites, and simultaneously ensures that fans still receive the same great gameplay experience that made the original game a success.”

WE CALLED IT: Dead Space 2 Reveal Coming on December 22nd

Posted in EA, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , on November 25, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen

We called it. Never forget that.

We called it the other day with OPM, but now it’s official: Xbox World 360 has literally blown off the doors to Dead Space 2.

The teaser page of the magazine shows Issac’s suit, a big fat 2 and the quote:

“One of 2010′s Biggest Sequels.”

It really is official then. The only question is will them two get the jump on the reveal, will the VGAs get a tease before then, or will Game Informer get there before both? Only time will tell.

The issue goes on sale on December 22nd.

New Star Wars Title to Be Shown at VGAs

Posted in Lucasarts with tags on November 25, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen

Keighley’s just the next reveal for the VGAs in a couple of weeks: Star Wars.

“Next Star Wars game to be announced at the VGAs on December 12th on Spike.”

What could it be? BioWare working on Knights of the Old Republic 3? Maybe even Battlefront 3?

The teaser Keighley linked to is here. Not much is there though. Just stuff from The Force Unleashed (we think) and The Old Republic from BioWare.
