Call of Duty(R) Elite Will Unite and Ignite Gaming’s Largest Online Community

Activision’s New Service Will Offer 30 Million Call of Duty Players Innovative Ways to Connect, Compete and Improve
Will Launch With This Year’s Most Anticipated Release Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 on November 8, 2011

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The world’s most passionate online gaming community can now connect, compete and improve their Call of Duty® multiplayer experience through Activision’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) innovative new online service, Call of Duty Elite.

Developed from the ground up by Activision’s new Beachhead studio, Call of Duty Elite offers cutting-edge features that significantly enhance the franchises’ multiplayer experience and deliver a new level of social engagement that will unite more than 30 million players worldwide.  Additionally, the service will offer exclusive, high-production value, original entertainment programming designed exclusively for the Call of Duty community.

“The average Call of Duty player spends 58 minutes per day playing multiplayer. That is more than the average Facebook user spends per day on Facebook. And yet, right now, there are very few tools to unite and super charge that social community,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “Whether it’s allowing you to connect with your friends, or people of a similar skill level, people who live in your city, people who share your favorite passions, join competitive clans or social groups, or upload, view and comment on the incredible mass of player-generated content, or watch and comment on exclusive created content, Call of Duty Elite will give people more ways to connect with fellow players than ever before. Elite will also allow players of every level to improve their game with an intuitive suite of tools, and compete in tournaments for both real and virtual prizes.”

Call of Duty Elite will include several industry-first innovations, and is designed to reset the bar for what players can expect from a multiplayer experience for this year’s most anticipated game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.  Elite will offer two-way communication between the service and the game, so that the choices and decisions that players make in Elite through the mobile and web interfaces will affect their in-game experience.  The service will be fully integrated into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and will launch alongside the game on November 8, 2011.

Rumor: Sony’s NGP’s new name: PlayStation Vita?! | El nuevo nombre del NGP de Sony: ¡¿PlayStation Vista?!

Before we got to know Nintendo’s current home console (known as the Wii), the code-name “Revolution” had been stuck in many gamer’s minds. Yes, the Wii turned out to be a revolutionary product, living up to its code-name, but it’s almost Sony’s turn now to tell gamers the official name for its upcoming portable, hopefully to be revealed at E3 2011.

While “NGP” (Next-Generation Portable) may not really sound like an appropriate name for an official game console, the name “Vita,” meaning “life” in Latin, could mean not just the arrival of a new portable gaming console with new features and capabilities, but a brand-new beginning for Sony in its fight for first place. Of course, that is if this name turns out to be true.

The original post where the info was published on has been deleted, but still available on Google’s search cache: [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:7tcZnJNpwxoJ:megarockblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-secret.html+sony&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com]. Posts on other sites state the company that obtain the psvita.com URL is the same one that bought otherss for Sony previously.

We are only a week away for Sony’s Press Conference at E3. We’ll see next week (or before) if “Vita” gets to be the real name or not.

Antes de enterarnos del nombre actual de la consola hogareña de Nintendo (conocida como el Wii), el nombre criptónimo “Revolution” se había quedado en la mente de varios jugadores. Sí, llegó a convertirse en un producto revolucionario, tal como su nombre de pila lo dice, pero ahora ya es casi el turno de Sony de decirle a los jugadores el nombre oficial de su próxima portátil, a ser revelado, eso esperamos, en E3 2011.

Mientras que “NGP” (Portátil de próxima generación / “Next-Generation Portable”) quizá no parezca ser un nombre apropiado para una consola de juego oficial, el nombre de “Vita”, que significa “vida” en latín, podría significar no sólo la llegada de una nueva consola de juegos portátil con nuevas características y capacidades, sino un nuevo comienzo para Sony en su lucha por el primer lugar. Por supuesto, eso es si este nombre resulta siendo cierto.

El mensaje original donde la información fue publicada ha sido borrada, pero aún está disponible en el caché de búsquedas de Google: [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:7tcZnJNpwxoJ:megarockblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-secret.html+sony&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com]. Mensajes en otros sitios indican que la compañía que obtuvo el URL (localizador uniforme de recursos) psvista.com es la misma que compró otros para Sony previamente.

Estamos a sólo una semana para la conferencia de prensa de Sony en E3. Veremos la próxima semana (o antes) si “Vita”  llega a ser el verdadero nombre o no.

EA Sports Revolutionizes FIFA Soccer 12 with New Player Impact Engine

Major Innovations Inspired By Real-World of Football Make This Year’s FIFA Deeper, More Engaging

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that EA SPORTS™ has developed the Player Impact Engine, a new physics engine that will deliver revolutionary changes to the best^ sports videogame on the planet. Two years in development, the new Player Impact Engine inside FIFA Soccer 12 delivers real-world physicality in every interaction on the pitch. It is one of several major innovations for FIFA Soccer 12 that have been inspired by the real-world game and created by the FIFA development team at EA Canada.

“The transformation FIFA Soccer 12 has undergone is revolutionary not evolutionary,” said Kaz Makita, Executive Producer for the FIFA franchise, which has won 136 videogame awards the past three years. “To create the best and most authentic FIFA game ever, we needed new technology to deliver on our vision. Fans will see, and more importantly feel, the significance of the Player Impact Engine immediately.”

The game-changing new Player Impact Engine will drive FIFA Soccer 12 on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system. Fans will experience the way real-world players challenge each other for the ball, win possession, and test each other physically. The Impact Engine processes decisions continuously in real-time at every point of contact on a player’s body to create an infinite variety of natural and believable outcomes in every collision. Players now feel more resilient, push and pull during the fight for possession, and recover from light challenges more easily.

Revolutionary gameplay innovations inspired by the real-world sport make FIFA Soccer 12 deeper and more engaging. All-new Precision Dribbling delivers a higher fidelity of touch on the ball for attacking players, while Tactical Defending makes defending as skilful and meaningful as real-world soccer. Plus, players have been infused with Pro Player Intelligence, the next generation of player intelligence and performance, and the new Career Mode delivers real-world storylines that brings enhanced depth and realism to the experience.

All-new Precision Dribbling creates a higher fidelity of touch on the ball for better control in tight spaces, more time to make decisions in attack, and more control over the pace of the game. Innovations in attack are balanced by a re-designed defending mechanism. Defending is now as strategic as attacking with all-new Tactical Defending, which fundamentally changes the approach to defending by placing equal importance on positioning, intercepting passes and tackling

Hide Your Shirts, Hulkamaniacs! Majesco Entertainment Climbs Into the Ring With ‘Hulk Hogan’s Main Event’ on Kinect(TM) for XBOX 360(R)

Hulkify Your Living Room as the World’s Most Famous Professional Wrestler Puts the Kapow! in Your Kinect

EDISON, NJ — (MARKET WIRE) — 05/27/11 — Wrestling icon, IMPACT WRESTLING Superstar, and global sensation Hulk Hogan and Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announced today a strategic partnership to develop Hulk Hogan’s Main Event, exclusively on Kinect™ for Xbox 360® for an expected release this fall. Developed by Panic Button LLC, Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is the first performance-based wrestling game on Kinect for Xbox 360 that lets players train with mentor Hulk Hogan as they build their own wrestling personalities and learn the art of showmanship to win over the crowd.

“Hulk Hogan is much more than a wrestling star; he’s a sports entertainment icon with a huge personality, a massive following on Spike’s IMPACT WRESTLING, and immediate recognition across generations of fans,” said Jesse Sutton, CEO Majesco Entertainment. “Partnering with the Hulkster for Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is a dream come true and we’re looking forward to releasing a no holds barred motion-based experience that offers a full suite of over-the-top moves.”

“Listen up, people! You will feel the power of Hulkamania when you step into this game,” said Hulk Hogan. “Whether you are taking the damage or selling the pain, this game will let you unleash your inner wrestler as you hype up the crowd while putting the hurt on anyone that stands in your way!”

Hulk Hogan’s longtime marketing agent, Darren Prince, CEO of Prince Marketing Group, said, “When we started discussions with Majesco on the format of this game we knew it was a perfect fit for Hulk’s global brand.”

In Hulk Hogan’s Main Event, players will learn the ropes from the man himself as Hulk Hogan schools them on delivering the best show for the crowd by emulating famous Hulk poses and performing more than 30 punishing combos. The Kinect sensor tracks players’ every move; the more dynamic the motion, the more high impact the wrestler’s performance is. Players will create their own unique wrestler personality through a robust create-a-wrestler feature including many choices for face, hair, tattoos, outfit, ethnicity, body type, and entrance music. Perform in nine different venues including the backyard brawl, local gym and giant stadium in front of a massive audience. Enter tournament mode for two player tag-team and take turns delivering extreme moves. Best of all, players can wield a variety of damaging objects including metal chairs and ladders to deliver bone-jarring hits to their opponents.

Developed by Panic Button LLC, Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is expected to launch on Kinect for Xbox 360 this fall. Hulk Hogan will be making an appearance at E3 on Tuesday, 6/7/11, courtesy of IMPACT WRESTLING. For additional information, please register at www.HulkHogansMainEvent.com.
