Bully sequel after Max Payne 3?

Rockstar Games Vice President Dan Houser has stated in an interview with Gamasutra that once Max Payne 3 ships they may be looking into a sequel to the critically acclaimed high-school sandbox title, Bully.

Contrary to a lot of people, we like to take a little bit of time at the end of a game before starting a sequel, so we can wait for the excitement or disappointment and everything else of the experience to shake down and really see what we should do in the next game. So we knew that we didn’t want to start doing the Bully sequel instantly at that second with those guys, even though it is a property that, like Max, we adore and might come back to in the future. There was just no impetus to do that then.”

Starhawk Beta Starts Nov 22nd

Anyone who owns a copy of Warhawk and opted in to the sequel’s upcoming beta might get a chance to check it out next week.  

The closed beta for Starhawk begins on Tuesday ,November 22nd.   To get access, you’ll need to have signed up for PlayStation’s emails (done via your PSN account) and naturally be one of several people who spent some time with the previous game.  Being a closed beta, not everyone gains access, as Sony is randomly selecting people and sending out emails with codes. SCEA Senior Producer Harvard Bonin also informed fans via the PlayStation blog that the closed beta will be rolled out in stages, gradually allowing more people access.  So, don’t worry if you don’t get a code next week, as the beta has no set end date at the moment.

People who also happen to have got themselves an early copy of Uncharted 3 can look forward to getting into the beta in January next year.  While I never played Warhawk myself, I’m very interested in the sequel, as it’s certainly looking like a fun time, what with all the cool looking sci-fi vehicles and utter madness that only comes from large scale multiplayer action titles.

Call of Duty Elite to be Fixed by December 1st

Call of Duty Elite hasn’t had the smoothest of launches, but developer Beachhead assures fans that its battle station will be fully operational by December first. Beachhead Vice President Daniel Suarez has asked fans to be patient and admitted to making some misguided assumptions based on Elite’s beta.

“It was our fault that the service wasn’t up and running the day [fans]  put in their token or the day they bought it,” Suarez admitted. “They kind of have to bear with us while we bring this all back up, but  for us it’s literally ‘Give us those couple weeks, we’re giving those to you for free and come December 1st the goal is that we’ll have  everything up and running.”

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Review

The best way to define Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is by saying that it is another Assassin’s Creed game.  One of the main questions on everyone’s mind was whether or not the amount of changes from AC2 to AC: Brotherhood would be consistent in the changes made from Brotherhood to Revelations. In both cases, the development time was about a year, but unfortunately, the changes between Brotherhoodand Revelations are not as apparent.  With Brotherhood, the changes that they made were amazing.  Brotherhood was the first game where you could recruit assassins to your cause and use them, either to take out guards or take on missions abroad.  This system worked incredibly well, and the ability to call an assassin to take out an unsuspecting group of guards never got boring.  In addition, the inclusion of a competent multiplayer mode made Brotherhood easily worth the $60 price tag.

Revelations is a
much different case.  While it does
have all of the elements that made Brotherhood
special, the changes that it makes from Brotherhood
seem negligible in comparison. 
The changes that have been made can really be categorized into two
groups: a bomb making element, and an improved templar den capture/defend
mechanic.

Finally, Some Real Hope for Sonic After All These Years.

There’s probably a large amount of people that aren’t even aware that Sonic Generations came out a little over two weeks ago. Come to think of it, there’s probably a large amount of people out there who don’t care either. It was released in the same week as Uncharted 3 and a week before juggernauts such as Modern Warfare 3, Assassin’s Creed, Skyrim and Halo. Of all the games that people would prioritise, I doubt that a new Sonic game would have been one of them. With that being said, I do want to talk about Sonic Generations, mainly because the game is actually pretty damn good and also because of the above game releases that will be hogging all the lime light.

Now first things first, I’m not putting Sonic Generations in the same league as those games, I mean it’s a much better game than Skyrim for a start… had you going for a second there, didn’t I? Anyway, the Sonic franchise has not been treated with much care since his days of glory on the Sega MegaDrive/Genesis all those years ago. The best attempts at recreating the magic of the 2D games were always the handheld titles and for almost 15 years the various 3D versions have been getting worse and worse. While Sonic Generations is not a complete return to the standards of say, Sonic 2, when compared to recent efforts, it comes pretty damn close. That being said, you don’t have to justify the merits of Generations by that comparison alone, it is still a great platformer that, for the first time since Sonic Adventure, has made this franchise feel modern. In both gameplay and presentation, this feels like a game that was released in the year it actually was.
