PS4 'Timed Exclusive' Hellblade to release on PC as well !

By GamersRex → Friday, January 9, 2015

Ninja Theory, best known for developing Capcom's DmC: Devil May Cry, revealed that Hellblade, a third-person action game that Sony has secured as a timed PS4 exclusive will also be releasing on PC platform.

Now five months after Sony's Gamescom 2014 press conference, Ninja Theory has also revealed its plan for supporting 4K resolution and mod support.

The studio's creative chief Tameem Antoniades says "I think PC offers us a level of freedom that we haven't had before"

"We're looking at everything we do on this project and figuring out better ways of doing things compared to how the traditional AAA console model works. And consoles are following suit with PC, but I think they're years behind what things like Steam are doing."

He further said :-

"I think we want to get to the point where we can invite players and fans to add to the game, and do things that are unexpected, and suggest ideas or add-ons that can make the game richer."

Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry was a huge success, so fans will be expecting good from Hellblade too.

DA: Inquisition DenuvoDRM crack to pop out anytime soon confirmed by 3DM

By GamersRex → Monday, December 8, 2014

Just almost a week ago, 3DM reported that they were able to crack Denuvo's Anti-Tamper technology, and with it, the games associated to it - FIFA 15, Lords of the Fallen, Dragon Age: Inquisition and others.

The current stage of DenuvoDRM crack for Dragon Age: Inquisition is not actually a crack, it is a technical processor based emulation to bypass the DRM schemes.

Some days ago, this was their message :-

"AMD CPUs is still not working, we will not release our crack until we solve it.

Our crack supports both win 7 and win 8/8.1 now.

We have collected enough cpu data which can be used on all the Denuvo protected games.

And we have made a tool to automatically analyze all the cpu data and add all the cpu support to our crack."

Some rumors were out that Denuvo dealt with 3DM by paying them for not releasing the crack. But it will remain a rumor, because of an update :-

And now here's the latest update from 3DM on 08 Dec., a Chinese hacking group :-

"Finally we solve all the problem, and now just need to add more cpu compatibility and release our crack."

The crack is reported to come out tomorrow or sooner this week !

Well lets see what happens, and how will Denuvo deal with it in the future.

The Pokemon Company

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire sells 7.7 Million Units

By GamersRex → Saturday, December 6, 2014

The Pokemon Company announced it today that Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, remakes of the classic Game Boy Advance titles for Nintendo 3DS have together sold 7.7 million units worldwide since last month's launch.

The game was originally launched on November 21 in the USA and Japan, selling over 3 million units at its launch. Majority came after the games' European release on November 28.

It was expected that it might not sell more than Pokemon X and Y's as it was just a remake of the classics. But it turned out that it sold over 135 percent of Pokemon X and Y's at its launch.

But this can't be ignored that the, "Hoenn" region featured in these two titles were very popular amongst the players and they were demanding for the remakes.

The classics Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire for GBA sold out 16.22 million units worldwide.

So the question is, will the remakes break that record ?

Ubisoft's next Assassin's Creed title - Victory confirmed for 2015 !

By GamersRex → Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Ubisoft's Next Big Release in the Assassin's Creed franchise is Assassin's Creed: Victory, set in the 19th Century of Victorian England which looks amazingly beautiful !

Ubisoft stated that Assassin's Creed: Victory will be the only "main" Assassin's Creed title for 2015 which will take us through the dirty back alleys and rattling stagecoaches of London during the Victorian era, a historical period that fans have wanted to see in an Assassin's Creed game for quite some time now.

Ubisoft will be releasing this big AC title only on the current-gen systems - PC, XBOXONE, & PS4, while leaving PS3 & XBOX360 behind.

Its the first ever Assassin's Creed game led by a new team - Ubisoft Quebec.

The seven minutes "target gameplay footage" video leaked to Kotaku demonstrates what Ubisoft's dev team expects from the upcoming Assassin's Creed game.

The video is surprisingly slick and could pass for an E3 presentation, and although it may not represent what the final game looks like, the beginning of the video proclaims that it was produced entirely in Anvil, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed engine. In other words, it wasn't pre-rendered. It seems to be run by the same Anvil engine as seen in Unity, the best looking incarnation so far !

There's no release date revealed by UBISOFT yet, but here's what Ubisoft says for the leaked information about Assassin's Creed: Victory (from PCGAMER) :-

"It is always unfortunate when internal assets, not intended for public consumption, are leaked. And, while we certainly welcome anticipation for all of our upcoming titles, we're disappointed for our fans, and our development team, that this conceptual asset is now public. The team in our Quebec studio has been hard at work on the particular game in question for the past few years, and we're excited to officially unveil what the studio has been working on at a later date. In the meantime, our number one priority is enhancing the experience of Assassin's Creed Unity for players."

Why Assassin's Creed Rogue looks better than Black Flag or Unity

By GamersRex →

Once again we have Naval Combat in Assassin's Creed Rogue.

This time, you control a smaller ship Morrigan and use it battle warships in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Naval Combat has got improvements in Rogue in several ways. New weapons like the auto-firing puckle gun and burning oil give players more strategic options.

The icebergs of the North Atlantic Ocean will make sailing even more trickier and difficult this time while battling.

As for Unity, it was just impossible to feature a Naval Combat because of its setting and focus on city exploration.

And when we move to its story and character, we have "Shay Patrick Cormac", an Assassin turned Templar who is out to seek vengeance from his own former mentor, and the entire Broherhood, for that matter.

Shay starts the game as a young Assassin. However, after a mission goes sour, he's betrayed by the Order. After surviving their attempt on his life, he decides to become a Templar. The game follows him as he hunts down the Assassins who wronged him.

Haytham Kenway a key character in the Assassin's Creed III will reportedly make an appearance in this title.

The game's story keeps you hooked up. It has strong ties to AC III & AC IV. Probably the darkest title in the series.

Assassin's Creed Rogue starts in 1751, which means it's right between the time periods of Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed 4. Ubisoft said that this new game completes the "North American saga" started by those other two chapters. It's very thick with information filling in many of the gaps between Assassin's Creed 3 and Black Flag,

Rogue allows the player to travel through the North Atlantic Ocean, travel across the frontier, and run amuck on the streets of New York City.

Denuvo DRM Protection Has Been Broken !

By GamersRex → Tuesday, December 2, 2014

3DM just reported that they were able to break the latest DRM technology - Denuvo

DenuvoDRM has been in the talk after its use on FIFA 15, Lords of the Fallen and now Dragon Age: Inquisition.

It protected FIFA 15 for almost 2 months and Lords of the Fallen for almost a month and now after the release of BioWare's highly anticipated title "Dragon Age: Inquisition", the so called "3DM" group, prove that everything can be unlocked after breaking the strong DenuvoDRM protection.

It was earlier reported that DenuvoDRM was responsible for damaging SSD drives of some users and it was also assumed to be the cause of Lords of the Fallen's performance issues.

Now its very interesting to see what will the team at DenuvoDRM will do about this whole thing and what will they do to counter-attack the attempts of such groups as 3DM !

Battlefield Hardline is a TV-style stealth game and very different from Battlefield 4 !

By GamersRex → Monday, December 1, 2014

With its overall seven game modes, Battlefield Hardline is a lot different that 2014's Battlefield 4.

Visceral says the game's brand new modes, TV-style story campaign, and eSports focus will make it stand out.

Visceral Games creative director Steve Papoutsis said the game's five brand-new modes will make Hardline stand out compared to last year's game.

"The new game modes are very unique and never been seen in the history of Battlefield series. One such mode involves high speed car chases and high-octane gunfights. Overall, Hardline will have seven modes and nine maps at launch"

About the game's setting and story, Steve Papoutsis said "Hardline offers up a cops-and-robbers narrative. Hardline's campaign will be very different than anything you've seen in Battlefield before. The story will unfold like a TV show in some respects, and Papoutsis says its cinematics, character development, and episode structure are all new elements for the Battlefield series."

He further added "While past Battlefield games were somewhat linear, players will have more freedom to take on missions how they want to in Hardline's story mode."

"Overall, I feel like what we're creating is a significant entry for the franchise, and we hope people see it that way," he said.

Ubisoft's The Crew can't be played without internet connection !

By GamersRex → Sunday, November 30, 2014

Ubisoft is all set to release its Next-Gen Racing Game - The Crew.

A Need for Speed-like street racing game with a ton of singleplayer and multiplayer options, set on a ridiculously massive map that spans from Los Angeles to New York City.

But the game is in "Always-Online" mode. You need a permanent network connection to play this game ! Whether you play on console or on PC, you'll need an internet connection to play.

Creative Directory, Julian Derighty added :-

"Our approach to that is this is a living world," Gerighty said. "We don't really see the point of offline. Did you ever play World of Warcraft? So World of Warcraft, you don't play offline. It doesn't mean you can't play by yourself—when I played World of Warcraft, I played it for about twelve months, single-player only, without talking to anyone. That's our approach."

What would happen if your network goes down while playing the game ?

"They won't be able to save the game, unfortunately," Derighty said. "All our saves are server-based, it's one of those things that this new generation… it's just like World of Warcraft. If the internet connection goes on World of Warcraft, that's it, your saved game goes. It's one of the unfortunate side-effects, but I think [we're] going to a world where the experiences demand that."

He emphasized that the single-player story can be played all by yourself… as long as you have an internet connection. "It just becomes that much more interesting if you're connected, and the world around you is living, with other drivers and potential encounters."
