Party Like it’s 1998. Tribes Ascend Hits 1 Million Downloads

by Joseph Christ · May 16th, 2012 · 2 Comments

Well I was just sitting here listening to some Celine Dion when this email burst forth into my inbox. Hi-Rez Studios is announcing that Tribes: Ascend, the newest release in a series started in 1998, has been downloaded 1 million times within the first month of release. “We’re thrilled that over 1 million gamers have discovered [...]

Hitman: Sniper Challenge is Here, Antithetical to Hitman In Every Way

by Joseph Christ · May 15th, 2012 · 11 Comments

This week, people who have pre-ordered Hitman: Absolution have gained access to a completely separate mini-game called Hitman: Sniper Challenge. Available on both consoles and steam, it places Agent 47 in a type of bad-guy shooting gallery where he must eliminate both a central target along with all of the target’s bodyguards. It’s also completely [...]

So how about one last Max Payne 3video before the big day tomorrow? Rockstar has released a final video showing off the assault rifle weapons you’ll be using in the game. The the G6 Commando, MD-97L, FAL, and AK-47 are all shown with the proper slow-mo, falling bodies and atmospheric music to round out the Max [...]

It’s Official, Minecraft is a Hit On XBLA

by Joseph Christ · May 14th, 2012 · 3 Comments

I never had any doubts that Minecraft would do well on Xbox Live Arcade, but I didn’t think it would have done this well, this fast. Perhaps I felt that everyone who would have played the game already had it for PC, leaving only a smaller market of neophytes and curious elders. Apparently this is [...]

Mechwarrior 4 and Mechwarrior Online Comparison

by Joseph Christ · May 14th, 2012 · 4 Comments

Younger gamers might be unfamiliar with the vibrance and history that adorns the Mechwarrior series of video games. After all, its remained almost completely dormant since Mechwarrior 4, and its expansion Mercenaries, first graced our PC’s in 2000 and 2002. Instead we’ve had a number of other series attempt to fill that mech-sized hole in our hearts, with [...]

Following the lead of the recently delayed Bioshock Infinite, Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider has been pushed from Fall 2012 to Q1 2013. Darrell Gallagher, head of Cryistal Dynamics broke the news via the official Eidos forums yesterday. “A Message to the Tomb Raider Community When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider [...]

This Weekend is Battlefield 3 Double XP Weekend

by Joseph Christ · May 11th, 2012 · 6 Comments

It seems like only a few weeks ago I was asking why Battlefield 3 hadn’t yet hosted -at least to my recollection- a double XP weekend. You know, the ones that Call of Duty hosts at least once every few months that brings every person who ever even glanced at the game to crawl out of [...]

You Should Be Paying Attention to Keiji Inafune’s ‘Soul Sacrifice’

by Joseph Christ · May 10th, 2012 · 10 Comments

The list of currently available Vita games is a bit short right now, especially the list of good triple-A titles. Sure there are some really good looking games coming our way, but for a launch title it’s admittedly a little light in the breeches at the moment. That’s probably why you should start paying attention to Soul [...]

Max Payne 3 Launch Video Thickens the Atmosphere

by Joseph Christ · May 10th, 2012 · 9 Comments

Today, a few weeks before release, Rockstar has released the launch trailer for Max Payne 3. The interesting thing about this trailer is its almost complete lack of gun-play in exchange for story cinematics and tone. And I don’t see this as a bad thing at all. Rockstar has been showing off the shooting mechanics [...]

Dragon’s Dogma Continues It’s Altered Approach to Co-op With The Ur-Dragon

by Joseph Christ · May 9th, 2012 · 23 Comments

Capcom has approached multiplayer and Co-op differently in Dragon’s Dogma, allowing you to borrow other players’ Pawns to help you in your travels, instead of having the players join you themselves. It’s a good mid-point between pure MP Co-op and single player, especially since these Pawns will relay information about the world to you that [...]

Zenimax Plays It Safe With Elder Scrolls Online, And Drops The Ball In The Process

by Joseph Christ · May 7th, 2012 · 14 Comments

We’ve all heard the news by now. The Elder Scrolls Online is a real thing, being produced not by Bethesda but by Zenimax Online, an offshoot of Bethesda’s parent company. There had been whispers of this news for a few months, and I would argue that the churning of those voices began even sooner, back [...]

The Only Black Ops 2 Trailer You’ll Ever Need to See

by Joseph Christ · May 3rd, 2012 · 15 Comments

Some of you may have seen this already, but I’m posting it for those few and sorry souls who have not. Believe me, this will give you new faith in a series that many have called stale. And it may even give you a new vigor for life as well. Needless to say, if Black [...]

Saints Row: The Third Gets Expansion, Super Powers

by Joseph Christ · May 3rd, 2012 · 15 Comments

Saints Row: The Third is getting super powers. I’ll just leave that there for a moment so you can take it in. Really, I could stop this article here and not even expand on it. With Saints Row you almost don’t even have to. Simply think of the craziest thing your mind can conjure and you’ve probably hit [...]

New Dishonored Screens Hit

by Joseph Christ · April 30th, 2012 · 4 Comments

Bethesda has released new screens today showing off some environments and some first-person visuals from their upcoming assassin game Dishonored. To say that I’m really looking forward to this game would be a little redundant. Anyone who’s been here for at least a little while knows that everyone here at 4Player can’t wait to get [...]

God of War IV Shows Off Multiplayer In New Video

by Joseph Christ · April 30th, 2012 · 6 Comments

Well since it’s in everything else…why not God of War? That’s pretty much how I’m going to approach the news that multiplayer has been put into any game now. And be it far from me to view news with a certain amount of skepticism! (sarcasm) but, honestly, this does look kind of fun. News of [...]

THQ Abandons Shovelware Division ValuSoft

by Joseph Christ · April 30th, 2012 · 2 Comments

THQ has been undertaking an ongoing reorganization lately in an attempt to bring further value to the company and focus on what they have called “core gaming.” The latest appendage to be scuttled is ValuSoft, the shovelware component of THQ they aquired almost a decade ago. But do not shed tears for ValuSoft. Not only have they [...]

Skyrim Update Contains Hidden DLC Assets. Also, Crossbows

by Joseph Christ · April 27th, 2012 · 22 Comments

When Skyrim update 1.5.26 was recently released those on Bethesda’s official forum went to work picking it apart. Treating it like a dungeon located far outside Windhelm, they skulked through various folders in the hope of getting their adventurous fingers on its most delicate of bits. And what do you know? Treasure they did find. Tucked away within the update [...]

God of War 4 is a Thing. But Should We Want More Than It Offers?

by Joseph Christ · April 26th, 2012 · 3 Comments

Last week, in news that can be categorized in the “things we’re really not surprised about” column, God of War IV was leaked -and then officially announced- alongside a new trailer. Proposed as a prequel, this new God of War supposedly tells a tale of Kratos during a time that he is not shaking with anger, [...]
