Breaking: Lizard Squad contacted American Airlines over bomb hoax on SOE Presidents flight.

24/8/2014

By Matt Taylor

A little under two hours ago the hacking group Lizard Squad, who have taken credit for the DDoS attacks on the Playstation Network, have contacted American Airlines over a possible bomb on the President of Sony Online Entertainment’s flight.

Through their Twitter account, Lizard Squad direct tweeted to @AmericanAir and tagged John Smedley, current SOE President. In the tweet they mention the flight number Smedley was travelling on and reported that there may be “explosives on-board”.

As with all bomb threats, it appears that the airline has taken serious steps, with Smedley tweeting that his flight has been redirected and grounded.

From cyber crime to real life, national security threats; Lizard Squad are kicking a pretty big hornets nest.

Sony’s Playstation Network goes offline. Hackers taking responsibility.

If you can’t logon to Sony’s Playstation Network today, you may not be the only one, with multiple server’s apparently on the receiving end of a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack) attack.

The attacks started earlier today, by a group of hackers going by the name of Lizard Squad. Since the attacks multiplayer gaming and access to the Playstation Store has been affected.

The group have kept everyone updated with updates from their Twitter feed, which fifteen minutes (at the time of writing this) ago wrote “THE FEDS ARE HERE SHIT”. If Federal Agents are involved, it may be a short time before service is resumed.

Sony are not immune to cyber attacks, with the company landing in hot water in 2011 after their security was breached and the details of 77 million accounts were stolen. At the time this was one of the largest cyber security breaches history.

The Swapper is out today on PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita & here's the trailer to prove it along with Matt's review.

After meeting the creator Olli Harjola at a Curve Digital event Matt decided this game would be his and so it was and you can read his thought's below.

CALL OF DUTY: ADVANCED WARFARE BOOSTS FRANCHISE TO NEW HEIGHTS ON THE NEXT GENERATION

3/5/2014

The power of the next generation of advanced soldier. The power of a gripping performance from Kevin Spacey. The power of all-new, exoskeleton gameplay mechanics. Power changes everything. Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare delivers an inspired new era of Call of Duty®. Published by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), and developed for next gen consoles and PC by Sledgehammer Games, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare delivers a breathtaking, new vision for the blockbuster franchise.

“We’ve made several key decisions with an eye towards creative excellence on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. We’ve really approached this game differently,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “This is our first three-year development cycle. It’s our first time with Sledgehammer Games at the creative helm. And we’re shaking up the formula in several ways. New core gameplay mechanics with the exoskeleton suit. A riveting new story. An iconic new character played by one of the world’s best actors in Kevin Spacey. We’re having a lot of fun making this game, and we think the world is going to have even more fun playing it.”

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare jolts players forward in a groundbreaking experience that’s ripped-from-the-headlines-of-tomorrow, envisioning a future where both technology and tactics have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Set in the year 2054, a private military corporation (PMC) has emerged with the power to rescue humanity from a devastated world struggling to rebuild after a global attack on its military and infrastructure. You are the advanced soldier. Empowered with new, cutting-edge exoskeleton abilities, technological advancements and high-tech gear, players join the ranks of a highly-trained, specialized unit committed to restoring order in a state of advanced warfare.

“It’s been a lot of fun working with the team to bring Jonathan Irons to life. The technology is truly remarkable and unlike anything I’ve done before. I’m excited to see where this goes,” said Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is being developed specifically for next gen consoles and PC. This is the first iteration of publisher Activision’s expanded three-year development cycle allowing the debut lead title from Sledgehammer Games an added year of studio development. With the expanded production capabilities, Sledgehammer Games is able to create an astonishing new, next generation experience, featuring an array of technical advancements from the sights and sounds that create a near photorealistic world unlike any Call of Duty before, to new performance capture and facial animation technologies that deliver lifelike characters, to a rich and immersive story that brings the fiction to life.

“This is an opportunity of a lifetime, and an honor for Sledgehammer Games. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the most ambitious and creative project we have ever worked on. From the endless research and thousands of production designs, to our incredible focus on the narrative and amazing attention to detail – we’re taking nothing for granted,” said Glen Schofield, co-founder and game director of Sledgehammer Games. “Call of Duty connects with the fans on such a deep level, and crafting a new vision for the next generation has been so inspiring for us.”

Michael Condrey, co-founder and studio head of Sledgehammer Games added, “Glen and I created this team with the singular vision of delivering the best work of our lives. We know we’re stepping into some pretty big shoes, but every day I’m amazed at the talent and focus at work here touching everything from the story experience to multiplayer. We’re excited to lead the next chapter in this great franchise, and we can’t wait for November 4th.”

Starting today, fans can begin pre-ordering their copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare at retail outlets worldwide. The title is scheduled for release on November 4.

The Swapper jumps to Playstation

30/4/2014

By Matt Taylor

Almost a year since it’s release on PC, Facepalm Games’ critical success, “The Swapper”, will be released on Playstation with help from London’s Curve Studios. I also had the chance to interview developer Olli Harjola which you can read here

Returning to the lonely space puzzler, players will be able to use Playstation’s Cross-buy system to download The Swapper on their Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and the Playstation Vita. As well as transferring between platforms, save games will also share between the systems and allows players to continue their journey through the desolate space station from anywhere.

From the opening sequence The Swapper does it’s best to make sure you know that you are on your own. Landing on the deserted research station, Theseus, on far off planet Chori V, players are given control of a lone space traveller who quickly discovers a device that clones the user. The clones that you create move in time with the original character and it’s not long before you discover that you can “swap” between clones. The puzzles throughout the game revolve around the ability to replicate and jump between replications, resulting in some of the smartest platforming puzzles I’ve ever played.

Puzzle games usually walk a fine line between boringly easy or frustratingly hard. The Swapper never falls into either category and manages to stay smart. Instead of overly complex and frustratingly hard solutions the game asks the player to think about your surroundings and use the tools given to you. In the whole time I played the game I have never felt cheated by complex or obscure puzzles, or felt that the game was holding my hand. It’s the perfect puzzle game, and it’s coming to Playstation.

I visited Curve Studios to check out the Playstation version of The Swapper. Walking into the dark office lined with couches, empty beer bottles sitting on the coffee table, the first thing I saw was The Swapper on the TV screen in front of me. I’ve played the game on my MacBook Air, which is admittedly the wrong platform to experience the game, but I’ve managed through on a trackpad and thought the game looked great. Then I saw it on Playstation 4. I could instantly see the difference in quality, with the colours bright and accurate, and the higher level of detail revealing Facepalm’s elaborate and beautiful design.

After seeing both the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita version of the game first hand, Curve Studios should be proud of what they have achieved. Both titles looked amazing with only minor differences between them. Playing it on the Vita I found that the only part that felt off was the slow targeting and slowdown effect during a “swap”. Fearing the worst, I pressed start and found that the speeds could be adjusted through the games settings. But both of the changes made sense when you leave the world of keyboard and mouse, and were well implemented on the Dualshock 4 and Vita’s button layout.

With the game already seeing success on PC, Mac and Linux, joining the growing library on the highest selling next generation console is an awesome opportunity for Facepalm, Curve and Playstation players who are aching for more titles on the Playstation 4 store.

The Swapper will be available on Playstation 4, Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita from the 25th of June.

DISNEY AND MARVEL TEAM UP FOR SUPER-POWERED SEQUEL - DISNEY INFINITY 2.0: MARVEL SUPER HEROES

We all knew it was coming at some point and with Disney owning Marvel it was only a matter of time before the crossover was announced.
Today we saw our first glimpse of Disney Infinity 2.0 and to say it looked impressive is something of an understatement. The gameplay that you can see below shows the evolution of the title of course this may be due to the fact the game will be appearing on the XboxOne and PS4.
The first figure/characters shown are the Avengers who appeared in the recent film. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk were all shown and you can see them in all their glory below.

@curvestudios 2014 line up; Hands on Impressions - MouseCraft by @CrunchingKoalas

30/4/2014

Last night Curve Digital held a little event to showcase three of their upcoming titles. Matt and I both managed to get some hands on time with each of the games. Of the three games which are The Swapper. Titan Attacks and Mousecraft, my favourite by far was the last on the list Mousecraft. We will be bringing you impressions of the other titles but here I will concentrate on a game that's "Development is going grate!"

Okay to get things rolling why Mousecraft?
I am a puzzle fan I may not be the best at them but I love the challenge of trying to outsmart a level. This comes from my early gaming history with the monster that was Lemmings. Mousecraft as the developer mentioned was part of the inspiration for this title so immediately I was intrigued. However instead of copy and pasting the team at Crunching Koalas have put their own stamp on their title.
First off are the actual mice although they are autonomous rodents but they are capable of tricks like jumping single blocks this pretty simple mechanic gives the puzzles an extra dimension The real star of the game though is the way the puzzles are solved, instead of controlling the mice you actually alter the level in order to get your mice to the cheese (the end point). The trailer below gives you some idea of the gameplay although it is rather sped up from the actual way you will play.
I played the game mostly on the Vita and found it to be the best way to play the touch-screen integration worked really well and the game felt perfect for the handheld. Of course with most titles that Curve have a hand in the game will be Cross buy on the Playstation platforms.
Overall this is looking like a great addition to the Curve line up and we will hopefully be bringing you more news and a review in due course.

Playstation 3 swan song The Last of Us coming to Playstation 4

9/4/2014

By Matt Taylor

Screen grab from Twitter

After months of speculation and rumour, Sony have let slip that they plan on re-releasing The Last of Us for the Playstation 4. On a preorder banner spotted on the US Sony Entertainment Network site, The Last of Us: Remastered was shown to be priced at $59.99. The banner also displayed the Day 1 Digital stamp which would normally point to a retail version of the title also being available, with the pricing being inline with full cost retail titles in the US. No date was shown on the marketing material.

Originally released on June 2013 for the Playstation 3, Naughty Dog’s action-adventure survival horror title is considered the last great Playstation title to be released on the previous generation console. The game enjoyed critical and financial success and has since sold over 6 million units since release, with the game going on to win over 200 awards.

Those looking to play though the post apocalyptic masterpiece for the first time, or like myself, want to go back for seconds, now we have our chance.

Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut takes flight and goes mecha on next-gen consoles in March

20/2/2014

By Steph Dumont

Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut is coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One next month.

Originally released on PC platforms last year, the space combat game puts players into a transformable mecha starfighter and allows you to engage in some serious space combat featuring dozens of intersteller units. The Director's Cut boasts updated graphics, a restructured campaign, previously-released DLC and extra ships to pilot.

Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut will be released digitally via the Playstation Network and Xbox Live and is looking to be priced at £14.99 with a PC release for the Director's Cut coming later.

I don't know about you but I haven't engaged in any space combat of this kind since Dark Star One and Project Sylpheed on the Xbox 360 which really didn't do much to sway me back to this genre. With No Man's Sky and Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut in the pipeline, can space combat be making a big comeback on consoles perhaps? I hope so.

Check out the trailer below. Those visuals and that soundtrack! Much wow. You have my complete attention.

Titan Invasion Lands on PlayStation 3 / 4 / Vita This Summer

19/2/2014

The Titan Invasion collection will include two action titles from UK developer, Puppygames: ‘Titan Attacks!’ and ‘Revenge of the Titans’.

Titan Attacks! is an arcade action title inspired by games like Space Invaders and Galaga, but with many modern features including a full ship upgrade system, online leaderboards and stylish, neo-retro visuals. Revenge of the Titans keeps the frantic action and the distinctive visual style, but expands the game into a unique mash-up of Real Time Strategy and Tower Defence including over 25 different types of buildings and a deep upgrade system as players progress for 50 challenging levels.

Titan Invasion will be available on all PlayStation consoles this summer. Curve Digital has also announced puzzle-platform MouseCraft and Stealth Inc: Ultimate Edition this month, with one more announcement to go.

War Thunder developer Gaijin Entertainment hosting first ever global e-sport event.

18/2/2014

Gaijin Entertainment, the developer of the free-to-play PC and Playstation 4 title War Thunder, have announced the first global e-sport event, Gladiators.WT 4x4.

In an effort to boost the popularity of e-sports, the Russian developer invited the War Thunder community to compete in the world wide event, which will feature over 300 teams from over 30 countries around the world.

“The Gladiators.WT 4x4 iteration marks the first time that fans can watch the tournament live, making it a true e-sport experience. We’re looking forward to seeing which squad will be crowned a War Thunder champion.”

Kirill Yudintsev - Gailjin Entertainment’s creative director.

The Gladiators.WT 4x4 will see teams of four man squads fight for a number of prizes, with first place netting all four team members a MSI GE60 gaming laptop. Other prizes include a GeForce GTX 780 graphics card, iPad Mini’s and in-game goodies.

The structure for Gladiators.WT 4x4 is made up of three rounds, with all four team members simultaneously duking it out in first round in 1v1 duels, the second round pairing the pilots into 2v2 fights, and the third round seeing both teams facing off in a 4x4. Gaijin Entertainment will broadcast the tournament through the WarThunder forums and through the official international steam at http://www.twitch.tv/metagamingtv.

The tournament will be running everyday until the final at the end of March.

E-sports have yet to make it into the mainstream conscience, but it’s great to see the developer support a tournament where the main goal is to expand the audience and help promote e-sports. I’ve been to e-sport tournaments, but they always seemed like fringe events. Games like Valve’s DOTA 2 have done well to build a community from online tournaments. Gaijin Entertainment look to be aiming for something similar.

Battlefield DLC packages are finally seeing the light of day.

15/2/2014

Matt Looks into thIs weeks DLC news from BF4

DICE have finally announced that they are releasing their second and third DLC packages for PC, Xbox360 and Playstation users.

Second Assault has been available to Xbox players since the 22nd of November last year, but after a long wait Playstation and PC players are finally seeing the revamped maps from Battlefield 3 come to the latest Battlefield title. This should be available to members of Battlefield’s paid service, Premium, on the 18th of February with the DLC available for separate download in early March.

DICE have received a lot of pressure from the community for holding off on releasing Second Assault for PC and Playstation, with some asking if the wait is due to the problems with the game and the focus the developer has put into updates to attempt to fix issues. After the release of Second Assault on Xbox the game had a lot of work put into it to improve the overall experience after poor post launch stability and multiple gameplay issues.

The third DLC package, Naval Strike, will be available sometime in late March for all platforms. Initially only available to Premium members, the pack will include new weapons, new gadgets and a new multiplayer game mode. The new game mode, which DICE are calling Carrier Assault, is a revamped and modernised (instead of futuristic) Titan mode, a fan favourite from Battlefield 2142.

In this expansion, you’ll experience intense water-based combat as the Chinese armada takes the fight to the sea. You’ll have access to new weapons, gadgets, and amphibious vehicles, and four all-new maps – Lost Island, Nansha Strike, Wave Breaker, and Operation Mortar. Offical Battlefield Blog

Things might not be going according to plan for DICE; after almost three months for the content to go multi-platform, only to get a double up only a month apart.

Putting all this aside, I’m genuinely excited for Titan mode. Attacking objectives to weaken a central target followed by boarding and destroying an enemy aircraft carrier: Battlefield bliss. Lets hope they can pull this off.

More information will be available from DICE as we get closer to the release date for Naval Strike.
