Walking Dead EP3 is up now... You might have to do a "search" for it since they haven't updated the whats new section yet.

A very good read about how spec ops the line was forced to add MP. If you dont know spec ops has great reviews even making IGN''s top 25 ps3 games of all time. The only real negatives any review says was about MP and short SP story.

The multiplayer mode of the Spec Ops: The Line was never a focus of the development," Davis said, "but the publisher was determined to have it anyway. It was literally a check box that the financial predictions said we needed, and 2K was relentless in making sure that it happened - even at the detriment of the overall project and the perception of the game."

Against Davis' wishes, development on the multiplayer component proceeded and was farmed out to Darkside Studios. The result, according to Davis, was a "low-quality Call of Duty clone in third-person," which "tossed out the creative pillars of the product." "It sheds a negative light on all of the meaningful things we did in the single-player experience," Davis said. "The multiplayer game's tone is entirely different, the game mechanics were raped to make it happen, and it was a waste of money. No one is playing it, and I don't even feel like it's part of the overall package - it's another game rammed onto the disk like a cancerous growth, threatening to destroy the best things about the experience that the team at Yager put their heart and souls into creating."

Every game doesn't need multiplayer...

I have heard good things about this game and sounds like it could have been even better had they been allowed to just focus on SP.

they do to appeal to the CoD/GoW legion, so the publishers want it jammed into anything for $$$. it's sad. i refuse to play MP games, but the really good SP stuff is so few and far between now.

georgiafan · 08-29-2012, 10:04 AM

It's a tricky thing bc if you dont have any MP alot of people will say "this game has no replay value im not buying this game". Because they company want the C.O.D market for the $.

I also don't care about MP and never play it and they are lots of people like me out there. But its a risk to leave it out there espically on new IP like this or one that doesnt have the built in fan base. I even look at classic games like Uncharted and can you imagine what they would be if they didn't have MP? I think thats why I like the batman games so much bc they put all the focus on SP.

L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi, reborn after a timely buyout, has announced that its next game – ***** of the Orient – is being developed for the next-generation of home consoles and PC.

The developer's website has now gone live, revealing some new details about the game. The site contains a single image depicting a scene from a Chinese apartment and a man sweeping up in the background. And it's clear from the mood-setting snippet of prose posted on the site that the city of Shanghai will play a strong role in the game. The text reads:

"Shanghai, 1936. ***** of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace."

Brendan McNamara, writer and director of The Getaway and L.A. Noire, previously said that the team's next game will be "one of the great untold stories of the 20th Century."

Team Bondi is actively recruiting for the project which will be published by Warner Bros, with the site advertising several roles in the programming, animation, art, and design departments.

Team Bondi went into liquidation late last year, with many of the company's assets and staff being acquired by Academy award winning production team of Kennedy Miller Mitchell, responsible for the Mad Max and Happy Feet films.

I finally got around to ordering Uncharted 3. I was going to wait for the GOTY edtion but it was only $20 and all the DLC is for multiplayer which I don't care about.

I should be getting the God of War Saga in the next day or two as well, so I'm set for gaming for awhile.

O ya and Borderlands will be on PS+ Tuesday... :)

georgiafan · 08-30-2012, 06:50 PM

Uncharted 3 is my favorite non sports game of all time. It takes everything the 2nd one does with lot of big action set pieces.

I played walking dead ep 3 last night it was good but though it was the weakest of the bunch. Still can't wait to play last 2.

M.O.T.H. · 08-30-2012, 09:36 PM

$20 says that game wont be called "***** of the orient" when it's released.

Splat · 08-31-2012, 11:46 AM

Got this in the mail today.

ImBrotherCain · 08-31-2012, 11:49 AM

Nice! Ive beaten the first two and have the 3rd still in the wrapper.

georgiafan · 08-31-2012, 11:54 AM

I'm about an hour in to the first one and it's living up to the hype.

That is a stupidly good deal. I'll probably get it eventually. I've played all the PS2/PS3 titles but haven't played the ones for PSP like Chains of Olympus.

Splat · 08-31-2012, 02:18 PM

Just FYI only 1,2 and 3 are on disk they give you a download voucher for the Origins Collection.

Going to be a free PS+ game in September.

It's a new game not just a port so I'm assuming it will be HD and have trophies.

Cheesy 80's High Five FTW!

GOW is so bad ass I can't believe I'm just not playing these games. I had a PS2 and just some how missed the boat.

My biggest surprise was how good the first one looks. I knew it was remastered in HD, but still I wasn't expecting it to look this good.

I mean some of the cut scenes are a little rough, but the gameplay looks really good for the most part.

I have had to slap my hand not to play the 3rd one, I really want to play 1-3 in order.
