WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES SPY HUNTER FOR PLAYSTATION VITA AND NINTENDO 3DS

BURBANK, Calif. – May 30, 2012 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces Spy Hunter, a reboot of the legendary combat driving series, specially developed for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS by TT Fusion. The game will be available this fall.

On the eve of the franchise’s 30^th anniversary since the original Spy Hunter was released to arcades in 1983, the new Spy Hunter races forward on its most thrilling and dangerous ride yet. The player once again takes on the role of the “Agent,” the driver of the high-tech G-6155 Interceptor supercar, armed extensively with advanced weaponry, and ready to take on a global terrorist organization set on world domination.

“Spy Hunter’s classic gameplay has been upgraded to give PlayStation Vita and 3DS players a new, adrenaline-charged experience,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Gamers now have more choice in the transformation and customization with greater hand controls, brilliant graphics and enhanced action cameras.”

The Interceptor seamlessly transforms from supercar to off-road assault vehicle to speed boat, allowing players to go where they like within the game’s branching mission tracks. Players can choose to outfit and upgrade the Interceptor’s many weapons and high tech gadgets as they like throughout the course of the game. And for the first time, the Agent will have additional support in the form of an unmanned aerial support drone, allowing players to plan their destruction when assaulting enemy agent strongholds. Spy Hunter also features thrilling crash choreography and a camera system that follows the action in slow motion to let players savor the destruction they created.

Capcom: “Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set” [PS3/X360]

By El Mundo Tech Leave a Comment

[EN]: Capcom has just released new information to the gaming press about plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Street Fighter franchise. This announcement should be making lots of fans happy, especially now that the franchise is recognized all around the world.

First, the Collector’s Edition seems like the perfect gift for any Street Fighter fan, though the one game that started it all is missing, the very first Street Fighter (known on a retro-console as Fighting Street for the Turbo Grafx 16). The package includes four of the most current releases of the franchise, including Street Fighter x Tekken (with downloadable content), Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (with downloadable content, too), Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Street Fighter III 3^rd Strike Online Edition. The set also comes with a Ryu statute, 11 music CDs of past SF games, a replica of Ryu’s belt (sweet!), a 64-page art book, a two-disc Blu-Ray of a documentary along with two anime movies and the entire anime series.

The price will not be cheap though. If you thought $149.99, then you’re right. Capcom is also organizing a tournament based on the games that will come in the package. It will take place in California, Texas, Taiwan, Japan, France, Brasil, and England. What’s awesome about this may be the award for the winner in Street Fighter X Tekken: an all-new Scion FR-S Sports Coupe. Read the following press release for more info.

[ES]: Capcom acaba de lanzar nueva información a la prensa de videojuegos sobre sus planes para celebrar el 25to aniversario de la franquicia Street Fighter. Este anuncio debe hacer a un montón de fans felices, sobre todo ahora que la franquicia es reconocida en todo el mundo.

En primer lugar, la Edición de Coleccionista parece ser el regalo perfecto para cualquier fan de Street Fighter, aunque el juego que lo comenzó todo no está incluido, el primer Street Fighter (conocida en una consola retro como Fighting Street para el Turbo Grafx 16). El paquete incluye cuatro de las versiones más actuales de la franquicia, incluyendo Street Fighter X Tekken (con contenido descargable), Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (con contenido descargable también), Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix y Street Fighter III 3^rd Strike Online Edition. También viene con un estatuto de Ryu, 11 discos compactos de música de los pasados juegos de SF, una réplica de la cinta de Ryu (¡qué chevere!), un libro de arte de 64 páginas, un set de dos discos Blu-Ray de un documental junto con dos películas anime, y toda la serie animada.

El precio no será barato sin embargo. Si pensabas en $149,99 dólares, entonces tienes razón. Capcom también está organizando un torneo basado en los juegos que vienen en el paquete. Se llevará a cabo en California, Texas, Taiwán, Japón, Francia, Brasil e Inglaterra. Lo que es impresionante acerca de esto puede ser el premio para el ganador en Street Fighter X Tekken: un totalmente nuevo Scion FR-S coupé deportivo.

[ES]: En unos meses, los fanáticos de Pokémon estarán felices al poder obtener las secuelas y nuevas aplicaciones para su 3DS. Por medio de la tienda eShop, Nintendo estrenará Pokémon Dream Radar y Pokédex 3D Pro. Y para los que quieren la continuación de los últimos juegos de la franquicia, Pokémon Black versión 2 y Pokémon White versión 2 usarán funciones específicas para el 3DS. Si eres un Poké-fan y no tienes aún un 3DS, considera lo siguiente.

La aplicación Dream Radar permitirá a que los jugadores usen diversas funciones del 3DS (el uso de la cámara, tecnología de realidad aumentada, control de movimiento) para atrapar a los Pokémon y descubrir a los que están escondidos. Los jugadores moverán el 3DS para apuntar y disparar rayos a los Pekémon para atraparlos. Los datos de aquellos Pokémon se podrán transfer a los juegos Black 2 y White 2 para que formen parte de su equipo. Algunos Pokémon pueden ser aquellos que son difíciles de conseguir.

Pokédex 3D Pro es una versión actualizada y completamente mejorada de la aplicación original Pokédex 3D. Tendrá datos de más de 600 Pokémon que han aparecido en los juegos, comparado a los más de 150 de los que se tiene ahora en Pokédex 3D. En esta ocasión, la aplicación te dejará tomar fotos de los Pokémon por medio de las capacidades de realidad aumentada del 3DS. Con el Pokédex 3D Pro, todos los Pokémon conocidas estarán disponibles desde el comienzo que servirá como información vital para las aventuras en Black 2 y White 2.

Pokémon Black Version 2 y Pokémon White Version 2 llevarán de regreso a los jugadores a la región Unova dos años luego de lo sucedido en la primera versión de Black y White. Al volver, los jugadores se darán cuenta del cambio radical en los nuevos juegos. Hay que descubrir a que se debe tal transformación después del triunfo contra el equipo Plasma.

Y si quieres tener a uno o dos Pokémon legendarios, presta atención. Cada uno de ellos vendrá según su versión: Black Kyurem en Pokémon Black 2, y White Kyurem en Pokémon White 2.

Con dos aplicaciones y dos versiones para escoger de la próxima secuela, parece que será un año muy interesante para la franquicia.

Mercenary Ops Now Accepting Closed Beta Applicants

Experience this Free-to-Play, Third-Person Multiplayer PC Shooter Before Everyone Else

SAN JOSE, Calif. – May 14, 2012 – Applicants are now being considered for the closed beta phase of the upcoming action-packed, third-person PC shooter, Mercenary Ops. For all those interested in participating, just “Like” Mercenary Ops on Facebook for your chance to obtain a closed beta key.

The first group of beta testers will be allowed in on June 20, 2012. During this beta test phase, players will be able to do battle in 6 different intense game modes and across a number of dynamic maps. Those that participate will get to experience the fast-paced action of the competitive online multiplayer matches along with the cooperative missions of up to 8 players against deadly hordes of AI controlled enemies and mini-bosses.

Mercenary Ops will be free to download and play at launch this summer. The game features an optional microtransaction system that allows players to unlock and customize their weapons and equipment through special upgrades; all of which can also be obtained through the game’s loot system.

“Balancing is always a major concern when it comes to online shooters, especially when they are free-to-play,” said Mercenary Ops Producer, Jason Sharp. “Because of this, we have committed heavily to testing the game internally and have even invited some of the world’s best professional gamers for their invaluable feedback. With the launch of our closed beta we will have the chance to garner even more feedback, this time from general shooter fans.”

Set in the near future when powerful corporations have led to the imminent downfall of humanity, Mercenary Ops pits deadly guns-for-hire against each other, as well as other hostile forces, in a struggle for wealth and survival. The game combines the tactical gameplay elements found in other third-person shooters with the fast-paced action of online multiplayer titles. Mercenary Ops puts an equal emphasis on competitive play and team-based cooperative missions, providing players with a truly action-packed and explosive experience.

Mercenary Ops was created using Unreal Engine 3. The engine was selected for its cutting-edge graphics, multi-core processor support, optimization for the PC and massive world support.
