 Playstation users in the U.K and other countries can now access the Playstation network via a PC or similar web connected devise. These features will soon launch for North America we just do not know when yet . This means that you can access features such as the store from a web connected devise and buy a game that will be ready for you to download as soon as your on your PS3 or Vita .

What Happens When You Reset Your Stats On BO2

If your wondering what happens when you choose to reset your stats on Black Ops 2 well then I have the answer . I decided to reset my stats on third prestige ( you can only do it on prestige ) not only for a fresh start but also the cool eraser calling card you can only get for doing so and therfore can never truly unlock all emblems unless you do a full reset which is why I decided to do it before I got even deeper in the game ranking system.
  When and if you decide to reset your stats EVERYTHING is lost . No more prestige , weapons , kills , score ,emblems . You start back with nothing from level 0 and this also holds true for any league ranking you have earned because all league is deleted also. It takes some real backbone to do this so make sure you know what it means if you are going to choose this lonely path...... but hey , I can show off my cool eraser emblem nobody else seems to have that I have seen . Good luck.

Why All The Stupidity Towards The Vita ?

I keep seeing it over and over ..... this next game might be the " savior " of the unfortunate Playstation Vita handheld . I'm about to rave about this so just a warning before you read farther along. Without naming any names; but, lets just say "big mainstream " websites are keeping to their guns about the "lack of good material ' for the vita and that just maybe this next crap game( supported by the same website via their ads ) that was rushed , pushed on a sub-par developing team by bankrupt Western developer companies will "save" the vita . Well let me go ahead and just crush these wild allegations . In case you have not been paying attention Mr Big Time gaming news source Persona 4 Golden ( only for the Vita ) holds the highest ranking score of any game released on any platform in 2012 and probably before that to be honest with one of the highest metacritic score of all time . Sorry your missing out on all the Japanese good stuff ( Sony is Japanese after all ) but I already dropped 40+ hours in P4G and play my Vita more than my Ps3 or anything else for that matter . Lets not forget Gravity Rush ..... but I doubt you could understand a good handheld game if it slapped you in the face, or what about BlazBlue ? You probably hate BlazBlue considering it takes work and dedication to become good at the game that has some of the very best visuals on any handheld and most consoles for that matter . Maybe your just mad that we can play Metal Gear Solid HD collection anywhere we feel the need to and that games also considered one of the best games ever made and that's a fact look it up ...... oh and did I mention Metal Gear is always a Sony exclusive ? I just did . So while your sitting back on your 10 year old console Xbox360 or Ps3 ( both around 10 years old lol ). I'm playing Ragnarok Odyssey on the new next generation handheld devise while your still writing articles about the Vita needing saved when the only thing that truly needs saved is your taste in video games and hardware .

Hold On To Your Current Consoles / Reason?

Sales of video games on tablets and smart phones continue to grow at break neck speed representing a new direction of gaming . Portable gaming is outselling console based games by a wide margin and will only continue on this path . That being said it would probably be good idea to hold on to your current gen console as these are a dying breed according to industry analysis . Next gen will launch in 2013 but how successful these will be is anyone's guess but one thing is for sure .... the industry follows the money and for the very near future ( and present ) portable gaming is the money maker .

Far Cry 3 Releasing Soon And Looking Great

December 4th something special is being released in the form of Far Cry 3 . The more I look into this game and watch the new video's the more exited I become. Its refreshing to know that something original is coming that was not rushed and took awhile to finish. The graphics look cleaner than ever and the open world is larger than ever even filled with wild animals that present the same threat as human enemies . This is one of my most anticipated game releases of 2012 and will bring you a full review that will come in the form of GameSplatt's first video review on our new youtube channel. Stay tuned for more information and the review  that will be posted here and on youtube around the 6th .

Sony Patents New Move Controller

 Details have emerged of a very strange and somewhat odd Sony patent for a new detachable move controller . Well this could have something to do with the next gen consoles slated to hit stores holiday 2013 as already confirmed my Microsoft . Sony however has been slow to announce anything at all about when the new Playstation will be released . In my opinion this controller looks like a gimmick and I cant imagine console gamer's using this and I must ask the question ....... Sony what the hell are you doing ?

Hideo Kojima Looks Beyond Metal Gear Franchise

 Hideo Kojima has recently said he's looking beyond the Metal Gear series widely believed to be some of the very best games ever made . He also said he does not want his legacy based around being the Metal Gear guy ( not a bad thing in anybody's book ) and is working on different games in the future . His new Metal Gear game is also in development using the insane Fox engine that will make for yet another triple A title by the master himself. I think he's right in the fact that his top notch game development skill should be utilized towards different games and we look forward to what he brings because whatever it is ..... I'm positive it will be great .


Note PS Vita Owners :
Metal Gear Solid HD collection for the Vita is one of the best titles ( even though a remake) on the handheld and is highly recommended .

Call Of Duty In Decline Every Year

 As predicted here in former articles or should I say complaints... the Call Of Duty franchise is facing a steep decline in sales contrary to what mainstream media would like you to beleive and heres the proof .http://www.gamespot.com/news/call-of-duty-beginning-to-slow-says-analyst-6400782 Black Ops 2 sales started off well during launch before begining to decline and could not hold the numbers compared to Modern Warfare 3. Call Of Duty has declined on average 15% year after year in what is ultimately the consumers reaction to paying $60 for ports every year using the same old outdated graphics engine and screenovers . I know I'll be trading in my copy of BO2 before its worth $7 at gamestop very soon because this game will NOT hold any value long.
 On a brighter note however the PS3 sold 525,000 units and 160,000 PS Vita systems on black Friday..... a welcome boost to the financially hurting Sony empire . Microsoft enjoyed better numbers with around 750,000 xbox360's proving that consoles are not dead just yet even though Call Of Duty has one foot in the grave.

Square Enix's Next Gen Luminous Engine

 Square Enix has taking game development into its own hands with its new next generation graphics engine Luminous Studios's . Make no mistake Square Enix created a real beast with this new engine and after seeing it in action luminous Studio Video / GamesRadar its hard to imagine others creating a better engine to compete . Square Enix stated with authority that they do not want to be held back by the vision of others and thus the new engine that represents their vision and the direction they would like to take next gen gaming. The first game on Luminous Studio is already being developed and we can only now guess as to what it could be because they are not saying much . Trust me , click the link to the video because you will be blown away by this new engine and its capabilities .

Black Ops 2 Rage Hits The Internet

 Everywhere you look on forums you can find nothing short of hate filled rants from the players of the new Call Of Duty series Black Ops 2 . Numerous gaming websites ( including this one ) are reporting this phenomenon including the best quotes from disheveled consumers ( including one from this site ) in an apparent attempt to confront this growing revolt among fellow gamer's . It seems that all these mainstream 9/10 reviews landed on def ears as players are confronted with the reality of trying to master a flawed multiplayer . GameSplatt has covered these issues in past articles and now it seems that a majority of real life gamer's are experiencing the same problems including but not limited to horrible lag , terrible hit detection , connection problems and constant console freezing issues . Any competitive online multiplayer that requires 16 rounds of FMJ bullets from light machine gun to drop another player has some serious issues that need to be addressed but dont worry you could always use the shotguns that kill players from 40 yards away and slings their bodies 10 feet in the air .

Wii-U The End Of An Era

The Godfather of American video game consoles and founding father of the Atari Nolan Bushnell gave Nintendo a verbal beat down today when he said the following about the Wii U "I don't think its going to be a big success " then follows up with "I am actually baffled by it " and then the final smack down on the new console " feels like the end of an era " . Ouch .

Gamer Breaks Record / 135 Hours BO2 / Look At His Face

 I know this is old news ; but , come on look at this guy's face after playing Black Ops 2 for 135 hours non-stop . Forget massaging his shoulders scan this mans legs for blood clots .

Breaking : Sony Stocks Downgraded To Junk Status

Breaking News Update

 Tucked safely away from the public eye is a report that Sony's stock worth has been downgraded to "junk" . For those of you who know little about the stock markets this is very bad news for the tech giant. Junk status stocks effect a company in many different although all negative ways because it tags the stock as risky. Sony is not the only tech giant however with Panasonic also being downgraded to junk. Now the question is how this is going to effect Ps3 and Vita owners in the future ? Sony will have to try to bring in more money and allot of it . This is just a feeling but this could lead to measures like charging for Playstation Network access . Its hard to even imagine Sony's financial woes considering the amount of money I drop in my PSN store wallet ever month.

Xbox Black Ops 2 Patch Released While PS3 Suffers

 This is just amazing ...... Today on GameSpot there is an article about a new Black Ops 2 patch update available for the Xbox360 . Whats the problem then? Well the problem is the PS3 is the console that has been suffering the most problems with freezing ect . Why would they release a patch for the Xbox 360 when record numbers of PS3 users are suffering constant freezing problems , connection problems and hit detection problems ? Its starting to look official ...... Microsoft and the COD franchise are workinh together under a better "deal" than Sony . Let it be said though that all players of Black Ops 2 are ripped out of $60 anyways however you look at it . With sub-par multiplayer that hardly works , no leaderboards or kill streaks that made COD what it is today we are all ripped off $60 dollars and hate me all you want but its the truth . Have fun playing your game thats going to brick your console from freezing and corrupted files just in time for the next generation consoles .....suspicious? Yup.

Ragnarok Odyssey Review

 Ragnarok Odyssey is one of those games that has received mixed reviews. Mainsream gaming websites like IGN gave the game horrible reviews as usual ( see biased review article below ) and others even gave it a 10/10 . What some people fail to realize is that Ragnarok Odyssey has a different vision for the game on the vita than some would expect and that vision comes to life and fruitation . Some complained the the RPG elements were not "deep" enough ; however , Ragnarok is deep in its own original way and strives to be what Vita owners want it to be ..... a game thats fun to play on the go and easy to put down after spending what time you can spare on the handheld. This works well because Vita owners sometimes need and crave a game thats fun and original without being overwhelming and Ragnarok Odyssey does this perfectly. The gameplay is addictive with lots of missions and side missions and even online and co-op .
 You can choose between different classes that can be changed and switched up anytime during the game .... a welcome change compared to other RPG's . The ranking system is different in that you need to kill monsters and loot cards that you can equip to your clothing for dfferent abbilities and you have to choose which ones to equip ..... choose the wrong cards and you fail that simple. Boss battles are very fun indeed and these offer the longer and more difficult aspects of the Ragnarok gameplay for the more hardcore gamers and the more casual can always use multiplayer for help defeating a boss if thats whats needed . Graphics are great on the Vita's screen and even though you do play some erea's over and over there are always different monsters and things to do making it not so bad but still effecting the overal score of the game in general.  In true monster hunter tradition you will face many different species of monsters to battle with and the combat system is simple yet welcome because it works flawlessly ..... besides who need too much complicated procedures in a game that makes the simple attack system as addictive as it is? Replay value is also a plus as you can play through as many other classes sometimes using swords and other blunt instraments and magic and arrows in others .
 Alltogether Ragnarok Odyssey does what it sets out to do and that is to keep you addicted to the simple yet fun gameplay thats easy to use on the Vita and fits the handheld like a glove. This is a game that should be purchased because it will bring you many hours of fun in an original way . The artwork style alone makes the game a must have ( something few gamers still appreciate ) for both hardcore and casual gamers alike .

Plus

Great graphics and original artwork
Deep gameplay without getting too deep
Original creatures and monsters
Great boss fights
Replay value
Multiplayer and co-op
Original

Negative

Map repetition
Strange rank system

Verdict

8.2 / 10   Great

Next Generation Playstation/Xbox Explained

It does not take a genius to figure out ( my reliable inside source helps also ) that the next gen "consoles" coming out in 2013 are not really consoles at all. As a matter of fact you will never buy or see another HD and/or Blue Ray disc again after you say fairwell to your current PS3 or Xbox360 . If you think this is all hearsay do your own research and you will easily find the fact that developers already have this hardware and are in fact developing new games for these new "consoles" as I write this. Farther research will also net you the knowledge that game producer after game producer have been closing up shop recently ....... the reasons they give for these actions... and I quote " steep decline in console game demand " uttered by both Eurocom ( 007 Legends ) and Nihilistic ( Black Ops Declassified ) right before they both moved into portable gaming ( iPhone ) moving forward . Needless to say these are a very few exapmles of very large video game producers going under and fast . Most game sales now are almost all on portable devices like Nintendo DS / 3DS , Sony PSP/Vita , tablets and phones . People are simply not willing to dish out $60 per game anymore and its starting to take its toll on the software corporations .
 Next generation consoles will be cloud based and without disk slots or trays . Video games will be purchased from the cloud and the cloud only . Blue-Ray movies , music and everything else will all be digital . The consoles will be very small ( no disk drive ) and most likely playable also as a gaming portable tablet on the go that can also be plugged into an HD T.V if and when you desire a "console" experience and not like the Wii-U where you have both the tablet and console ; but , a tablet that can itself be converted for home entertainment purposes. Dont believe me ? Go ahead and tell me so I can rub this time and dated article right in your face next year .

Persona 4 Golden Review

 The Playstation Vita started off with very limited games to choose from and lacking any kind of "system sellers" so with the re-release of an updated Persona 4 Golden is a God send for Sony's handheld . How can I even begin to explain how brilliant this game really is without sounding like a zealot ? Impossible to be honest. Persona 4 Golden is a re-mastered version of the original Shin Megami Tensei series of persona 4 released on December 9, 2008 for the PS2 .
 The game is a complicated and addictive mixture of life simulation and dungeon JRPG amongst other things. Your a new transfer student to a new small town in Japan and find yourself juggling a complicated murder scenario and high school social life with everything you can imagine related involved . The story is one of the greatest ever told on any video game and the voice acting stands as some of the finest voice acting ever achieved in gaming . Every time you think you have some of the story figured out the twist's and turns just keep coming and do not relent until the very end . While playing this game you feel as if you are actually living this boys life and become so involved with the other characters you will be hard pressed to set the game down for bathroom breaks.
 The original game is widely considered one of the best games ever made and now with the game remastered in HD with tons of extra's like music video's , animations from every persona game ever made , older and new trailers , ect ect , on and on it goes. The game feels like it was always meant to be played on the vita and that somehow the Atlus developers could see in the future and made this game with the future Vita in mind. Software updates will not be needed here as this game is perfection and anything else could only soil what is already a masterpiece . The visuals are amazing on the Vita's OLED screen and the dungeon's look as though it could be 3D with the glasses. Turn based battle scenes jump out at you with every shining detail splashing against your retina's in a grand display of awsomeness and when you perform a group attack you will almost soil yourself in excitement . You will get lost in over 100+ hours of gameplay like none other and could still play through again using different choices and persona's . Persona's are formed with social links you create from interacting with other characters in the game and the more your friendships build so does your combat ability and rank.
 With a metacratic score of 95/100 Persona 4 Golden stands as the most highly rated game in 2012 and with similiar score's in the past with the older version Persona 4 Golden trully is one of the finest games ever made and if thats not a system seller I dont know what is . You dont have to be a fan of JRPG's to enjoy this game because its different than any other RPG you have ever seen or played . With tons of new content like characters , music, video's , voice acting and HD graphics ....... anybody who does not get this game for their Vita does not deserve to even own one.

  10/10 Masterpiece

PS Vita Really Is The next Gen Console

With all the talk about the new next generation Sony and Microsoft consoles on the way very soon ( Wii-U should be considered current gen after playing it ) people are overlooking the fact that there allready is a next gen console available in handheld form .... the Playstation Vita . As a owner of a PS3 , Wii-U and Vita I can say that the Vita gets the most use out of me. What makes it next gen ? Well the fact that you can have a full HD console experience on the go is the answer . Sitting next to the television for hours should be a part of the distant past . I cant see myself sitting in front of a television and console for hours all day and its refreshing having a powerfull handheld on standby whenever there is time to kill like at the doctors office waiting to get called back , in the office on slow days, in the car during traffic jams ect , ect . Now that allot of great games are being released for the next gen handheld its only up from here on out . Show me a next gen Playstation , Xbox that you can bring along with you everywhere you go ........ never going to happen and thats why PS Vita trully is next gen .

Bias In Mainstream Video Game Reviews

 It is very obvious now that mainstream video game websites are in bed with certain game developers and its starting to show in their game reviews . Time after time big time video game networks and websites are giving out false and bias game reviews to guide game sales in certain directions for corporations . Websites like IGN use complete bias in their reviews and fans are now begining to wake up to this fact and ignoring these reviews . I dont know about you but I'm sick of reading reviews from people who have no idea what a good game is and the history and art behind them . They spend their days playing FPS's of little significant importance to gaming besides the money they generate from the masses they rip off year after year and when something truly original and great is released they give it horrible reviews as to keep the major players in their un-deserved spots untested and safe away from change that would test them .
  An example of this would be the review recently of Ragnarok Odyssey that received a horrible review from IGN and IGN only . Most people who have played this game realizes its a great game for the vita and that IGN must have something against all games Japanese for some reason ...... most likely out of bad taste on top of promoting the games that "contribute" the most to the income of the said websites and networks. This is only a small example of such reviews that have for so long hurt sales of great games by manipulating their readers into believing in their bias gaming views . I stopped reading these reviews from mainstream networks and get all my reviews from smaller and independent video game news sources and have not been let down yet as I have on the major players . Always remember when reading or watching reviews that these come from a single person who in all reality enjoys a different gaming experience than you . Good luck in your quest for un-bias reviews and your future of playing great games .

Persons 4 Golden Vita Launch Today

Persona 4 Golden for the Vita releases 's today 11/20/2012 and is considered the vita's first true system seller after the game sold allot of Vita's in the Japan launch . I'm leaving right now to pick up my pre-order ( you get a fancy Persona Vita screen protector with pre-order ) now . If your not a fan of JRPG's thats ok ...... Persona 4 Golden has received mostly 10 out of 10 in almost every single review not only in Japan but also in the United States . Thank you Atlus for bringing Vita owners something truly amazing .

Activision Removes Nuketown 2025 From BO2

 Now its just getting bad ( see last story below ) ...as if the rest of Black Ops problems were not enough ( freezing , lag , ect ) now Activision has announced that they have decided to permanently remove the map everyone was waiting and pre-orderd the game for.... Nuketown 2025. Why Activision would punish loyal customers who invested in Black Ops 2 is simply beyond me . Then again .... after playing Black Ops 2 online ( or trying ) now I understand ...... they want us to be in pain .

Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Is Bad

 Ok so I had the audacity to break down and say it when nobody else would . While other "mainstream" gaming websites and blogs kneel before their master and deliver great review's I think I'm going to keep it real whether fan boys and girls alike approve of it or not . Dont take me the wrong way and keep in mind before you stop reading thinking I'm just another COD hater... lets take a fast look at the facts . I have been playing COD before the online option was even available yet and have continued to play since and allot as a matter of fact . So just hear me out and decide for yourself .
 Dont get me wrong the single player campaign is great and so is the new and original zombies : but , we are talking about the multiplayer here for this story . I understand that a new game on launch is going to suffer some problems and thats fine : but , Black Ops 2 fails ( even after the second update ) in almost every possible way . Launch night I waited in line at midnight to get my copy of Black Ops 2 and it was not very long after that I found myself banned for four hours . Why you ask ? Well the game is notorious for freezing on the PS3 and every lobby I got into I was the host only to find my game freezing on me ....... three times in a row. The second time the game froze and I rebooted I recieved a message saying I would be banned if I did not finish the matches . Needless to say after two games the game froze again mid game and I was forced to reboot and upon returning to the menu found to my dismay that I was banned for four hours . I understand this is done to keep people from ending the game but I cant help but to ask .......... after all the money and time spent on this game they never thought of this scenario ??? Well I took the ban like man and proceeded to bed for the night . The next morning I woke up and was happy that now I could enjoy some of my favorite series . Nope : the servers are messed up and now I get an error saying that I could not join a lobby and this lasted at least 24 hours and the entire time all my friends where online playing except one other person who was suffering the same constant error as me. After the error nightmare and after 2 days of being banned for their defective software and being unable to connect to online matches finally I was in a lobby and ready to play . This is when I seen that an update was required and I was very happy thinking this will fix the bugs and lag ect , ect . Nope : Even after the update I was connecting fine ; but , then I realized that it takes an entire clip to drop another player . I have a very good connection at my house and thats why I was always getting host when the freezing got me banned for no reason . Now I'm second prestige and its the same thing ...... empty an entire clip to maybe get a kill  then reload and repeat over and over .
 The fact of the matter is ..... mainstream gaming websites are all in bed with COD . The same very old and outdated graphics engine ....terrible server network , horrible lag , constant freezing and to top it all off a mostache crosshair for your scope . Wow .

Are Trophies Everything In Gaming ?

 Trophies are something special to gamers .... nothing quite feels as good as the sound a trophy makes as the achievement is unlocked. Not so long ago there were no real trophy system in games instead we worked for in game unlocks and such and that never stopped us from spending countless hours tapping away at our controllers. So what else compels gamers to go mad over trophies ? Now its a way to show off to all your friends and now the world by having all your achievements there for all to see . Its like having an expensive gold watch on in a club with diamonds blinging ...... its simply to show off .
 I got the idea for this article after something special occurred to me just this night whilst playing an older Ps2 game I purchased from the PSN store . I myself  had fallen into the trophy vice and would turn the other cheek to games unless they were packed full of trophies ; thus , turning my back on gaming in its earliest and truest form..... that is of course until it hit me this evening . Lately I have been real big on Japanese games ( just love em ) and cant stop playing them until Black Ops 2 of course. I happened to purchase Persona 3 Ps2 version from the store and was horrified to learn that there were no trophies . Nonetheless I began to play the game and all of a sudden I was having more fun than playing most games with trophy support . I will almost certainly put 60+ hours of gameplay on this title trophies or not proving to myself that trophies .... even though they are fun and we all love to unlock them... are only a small part of the entire gaming machine.
 I know people and have one on my list who has over 200 platinum trophies ..... are they all legit? No of course not .... there are ways to cheat everything but it goes to show the great lengths gamers will go thru to have the prestige of having allot of trophies ...platinum in particular. Some of the greatest games ever made never had trophy support and even if they did nobody would see them anyway.. I mean come on those old systems were not even hooked up to an online connection ..... we played games because they were fun and we enjoyed them and appreciated them for what they were .... art.

BO2 Can Download Textures To HDD Drive On Ps3

PS3 Exclusive Update :


 It has been confirmed that PS3 owners who purchase the title Black Ops 2 will be able to download from the disk to the hard drive . This is only for PS3 and the reasons stated was that this will prevent wear and tear on the Playstations Blue Ray Drive over extended use. I dont know if they are trying to say that the Blue ray is not as reliable as the HD drive on Xbox360 but either way I could care less .... I get to download to my HDD .... Yes.

Wii U Pre-Orders Getting Crazy

UPDATE:

 Analyst's are surprised as stores across the United States and the UK are reporting Wii U pre-orders are coming in at a rate of 500 orders per hour in some locations . At the same time the United Kingdom is shocked as pre-orders are flowing in way beyond what was expected . Well it looks like all those doomsayers about the inability of the Wii U to attain success ........ epic fail on their part. It looks like buyers purchasing the new console off store shelves on launch will be in for a big surprise . If your looking to get this console for the holidays and have not yet placed a pre-order ..... well good luck.

Update : Halo 4 Finished

UPDATE :


 Frank O'Connor franchise director of the coveted Halo series has announced that the popular Xbox360 exclusive sci-fi shooter is now finished and heading to Microsoft for certification.

Is Black Ops 2 A Huge DLC ?

 Before this question can be answered with some sort of authority first we must look at some of the facts that cannot be denied then some facts that can be argued from different angles .
  Not a whole lot has changed since the first revolutionary COD Modern Warfare . One can even argue that the original Modern Warfare was the only revolutionary COD game , but lets look at the facts first before we get ahead of ourselves. Sure things change from game to game like the kinds of maps and the perks , weapons and attachments but wait a minute ...... was there ever a different engine? No ...... in fact all COD's are made with the same engine for some reason . Sure the first Black Ops was different in many ways from the traditional COD series but even in that game the weapons , perks , attachments , ect are still all basically the same minus some tweaks to the same old engine graphics wise but an engine can only be tweaked withing its limitations and since Modern Warfare those limitations have remained the same.
  Taking into the fact that its all always on the same engine with the same guns , perks , attachments and kill streaks with only small additions to all those from game to game ...... hmm kind of like a DLC .... you purchase extra content thats adds additional maps , guns , attachments and perks at the most . I know what your thinking .... well the map packs only give us new maps not new weapons and attchments and such-right? Well if a map pack is only 10 or 15 dollars and comes with maps then why is a " new " game 60$ and thats not even considering hardened editions or even Call Of Duty Elite for that matter and they are only screen over's with new weopons , perks , attachments and kill or point streaks and keep in mind when I say new I mean the few new additions added to the new releases .
 Now I love Call Of Duty and will always play it and placed top 100 for kills on most games so I'm just being reasonable here and trying for the life of me why they cant just sit down and create something new and revolutionary while still keeping that familiar COD feel? Its the 21st century why not use a new improved engine( there are plenty out there ) ? Why not greatly enhance the graphics and gameplay beyond new maps and guns ? Lets just face the facts .... as badly as we all want Black Ops 2 me included we are only getting a 60$ Black Ops DLC with new maps ect . Wait ... look in the preview -dogs- looks like there's not going to be a whole lot of change in reality . Right now all we can do is sit back and wait and hope that I'm wrong .... maybe Black Ops 2 will be more than a glorified DLC . Maybe it will change the way we see and play the COD series . I really do hope I'm wrong.

New Vita Colors Picture : Japan

 Japan will soon be able to purchase PS Vita's in new color's : Cosmic Red and Sapphire Blue . No word yet if these will be released in the West yet ; however , gamers here can still purchase a white model soon . After fighting non-stop against fingerprints on my shiny black model I would advise future consumers to buy a Vita in a different color because it realy is a full time job keeping the black one clean and fingerprint free.

Breaking : Sony Removes All Game Release Dates

BREAKING NEWS :

Not a whole lot of information is available on this subject at the moment and it being Sunday does not help any considering most gaming websites do not update over weekends . Speculation about the reasons for this move remain at this moment just that - speculation . I will update this story as more information comes in and if you know something about this please let us know in the comments.

Vita 6 Month Definitive Review

I know what your thinking. Isn't it a little late for a PS Vita review ? There are thousands of reviews and its been out since its launch on February 22 , 2012 . Well the way I see it is a true review cannot be made after only a few day's or weeks of casual handling of the handheld device. I purchased my Wii-Fi version of the Vita just around the launch of the system and have played on it like a true harcore gamer . I have played most games on the system and seen it through all the updates ; thus , this will be a true definitive review of the Vita for those who are still on the fence about investing in the next-gen handheld. I will skip all the specs because thats easily found and well known and just fill you in on the stuff that truly matters to the consumer.
 
OLED Vita Screen

 The screen on the Vita is of course its biggest asset . Earlier reviews complained about the accuracy and sensitivity of the touch screen . This is only because some of the early launch titles did a bad job incorporating touch controls in the game software itself and therefore was due to software and not hardware . I have played games ( most games on the Vita ) which the touch controls operated beyond what one would expect . The touch controls are exact and flawless giving the software is developed correctly . The visuals on the OLED screen are simply mind blowing and colors explode and dance of your face as you grind away at your favorite titles. To sum it up .... smaller than a pc tablet and bigger than an iPhone . Just perfect for gaming , tweeting , skype, facebook or whatever you wish to operate.

Dual Analog Sticks

 Now these are special for a handheld .... the only handheld on the market with true console quality analog stick controls . At first I was worried about the life span of the sticks and wondered if they would be the first to go since I have replaced 3 Dualshock controllers because the sticks wore out but on close inspection one finds an engineering stroke of genius involved in the design of these sticks showing that the developers thought about this . There is a small ring around the bottom base of the analog sticks which prevent you from moving them in ways that will harm them ....... nice. On top of that great news is the fact that they are flawless in sensitivity and accuracy even after around six months of hardcore play.

Triggers

Not much to explain here .... simple triggers that are effective but in all honesty feel a little cheap after prolong use but nothing to really hinder your gameplay other than worry about them breaking or becoming ineffective in the future ( six months still working fine ).

Software

When first launched this was a problem ( why early reviews are irrelevant ) . The launch Vita was in its infant form with hardly any of the capabilities now present on the devise and very few games were available even though some that were boasted very deep and long gameplay like Disgaea 3 which I'm convinced is endless . Now the games are rolling out ( the best coming in November ) and truly great games if that like LittleBigPlanet and HD collections like Metal Gear .
 Sony has been constantly updating the Vita adding new features like youtube , skype , cross play , remote play, playtasion plus amongst others which make the Vita an entirely new animal from the launch operating system. Playing God Of War on your Vita via remote play or using the vita as a second controller or playing true multiplayer on a handheld feels great and makes the devise worth the money invested.

Hardware

Minus the specs as stated above the hardware runs perfect . I have had no problems with the Vita hardware at all and it never gets or feels hot after extended gameplay. Back touch pad can use some work for sure and seems to me just something to hit by accident while playing ( you can turn it off on most games in the options ) making it irrelevant in the end. Charging time is real fast and the charge can last a long time with continuous play and backing up your files to a PC or your Playstation is a breeze and a welcome one since your data can never be lost this way.

Conclusion

 Probably not the best investment at launch but after the constant updates that keeps improving the devise and proving that the Vita is capable of so much more because its only an update away ...... this is truly a next-gen handheld that every hardcore or casual gamer alike should own if finance allows. After the boot up updates for new Vita's you will be holding a true gem in your hand that can be played at home or anywhere on the go. Lets just say if this one should ever break or stop working I will purchase another ..... its that great.

 

The Winner Of The Console Exclusive War Is ?

 I for one never understood specific console exclusive games .... I know , I know... its all about money and selling the hardware but as gamers we could care less about this corporate manipulation because for us all games should be on all consoles and everyones happy no matter what kind of hardware you decide to own . Unfortunately of course these are simply gamer's dreams and the reality of the situation is ... unless you dish out and purchase thousands of dollars worth of hardware for both consoles with the related software included ... we are missing out on great games . So now lets take a look at the top exclusive games on the Xbox360 and Playstation 3 and reveal for the first time ( in my opinion ) who the winner of this brutal exclusive software war really is once and for all .

First lets take a look at three of the most notable exclusives on each console.

XBox360

#1. Halo Series
#2. Gears Of War Series
#3. Forza Motor Sports

Playstation 3

#1. Uncharted Series
#2. Metal Gear Solid Series
#3. LittleBigPlanet Series

 Now with this list we see some really good games on both sides and in my opinion just about even ( excluding the gamechanger ) and could fill volumes with arguments back and forth .... so to simply skip all that lets just reveal the gamechanger and thus , the winner of the exclusive games war.

Mincraft for the Xbox360

 Yes thats right .... and you can argue all you want but the fact is Mincraft is big really big and has millions of hardcore fans on the PC and all around the world and is a real thorn in the eye of PS3 owners who cannot get a console version. Needless to say that in my eyes this is what won the exclusive war for Microsoft and was a stroke of genius on their part .

Zelda : The Holy Grail Of Games

  I do not have a crystal ball but if I did I already know what it will show me about the future of gaming . I can see Nintendo Wii U : Zelda bundles flying off of Wallmart shelves faster than the employees can stock them back. Zelda goes way back and any hardcore (or casual for that matter) gamer will remember endless hours of playing this epic franchise and getting lost in its vast worlds and secret passages . The release of this game in full HD on a revolutionary gaming console is a true game changer for the new console and Nintendo is privy to this fact . Nintendo's been playing it off talking about a few "console sellers " but have yet to even mention Zelda as one and I'll tell you why. Zelda Wii U is Nintendo's secret weapon that it will only pull out at the best stretegic time.
 So while basically everyones scraching their heads wondering about how the Nintendo Wii U will sell ...... the people at Nintendo are sitting back with smirks on their faces popping open bottles of crytstal champagne knowing fully well this ones already in the bag . Looks like a bright future for Nintendo ( no big change ) thanks to their genius planning and superior gaming market insight . Nintendo my hats off to you .... well played , well played .

Is The iPhone The Ultimate Gaming Device ?

 After seeing some gameplay on the new iPhone 5 I can understand why some are saying its the ultimate handheld gaming devise. With a bigger screen and 2x the processing power and new multiplayer applications and better designed and higher quality headphones that deliver headset quality sound it very well might be every gamers dream . I'm the owner of a PS Vita so its hard to imagine a phone taking its place as a gaming handheld solely because of the triggers and dual analog sticks present on the Vita and not the iPhone5 .
 More and more it seems as though high end smart phones and tablets are taking the place of home consoles and strictly gaming handhelds that are falling more into the " hardcore " gaming category . It is also now known that gaming super centers like Japan the base and home of Sony's Playstation are filled with more people who game on the go than at home. What does this mean for the future of home console software developement and gaming handhelds like Vita and DS alike ? Well it very well could mean that software developers will be forced to create more content for mobile devises like the iPhone5 and tablets taking away quality time needed to create great and inovative games on home consoles and gaming handhelds.
 As soon as I get my hands on an iPhone5 I will review it and also review the gaming capabilities but until then send me some feedback on your take on this subject and if you own an iPhone5 tell us about your gaming experience.

Metal Gear Rising Only On PS3 In Japan

In a strange turn of events Metal Gear Solid was first slated to release for the Xbox360 then suddenly the news breaks that it will only release for the Playstation 3 in Japan . Looks like Sony tries to take care of its own at home ( Sony=Japan Microsoft=America ) by making a highly anticipated game made for multiple consoles exclusive to the Playstation 3 at home . Maybe they are just looking after their own best interests in hard economic times but what does this mean for Xbox360 owners in Japan? Surely they will be horribly upset because the Metal Gear Series is one of the best in the history of gaming some will argue . Fortunately this move is limited to Japan but could signal the start of a larger software war in the future for all consoles and thats just bad for gaming period.

PS Vita Gets Playstation Plus In November

Playstation Vita Owners will be happy to hear that Playstation Plus service will be coming to the handheld in November . Whats so great about this you ask ? Well for starters if you for an example buy Playstation Plus for your PS3 you will also get it for your Vita and vise versa but the real bonus here is that both your Playstation 3 and Vita will each get the 1GB cloud storage offered with the PS3 now . Thats great considering the price of the proprietary Vita memory cards so all the extra space we can get is welcome. Will this be enough to sell the service on the Vita ? We'll have to wait and see what features Sony will launch with the Vita Playstation Plus before we can tell but hey if you already own a PS3 like most Vita owners its free to download to your Vita if you purchase it for your PS3 console .
 Looks like Sony has big plans with the Vita and this might very well have something to do with that mysterious Vita 1.81 update on the 18th as to allow Playstation Plus to operate on the handheld and patch some security holes as well. As a extra bonus to the story Japan has announced that the Vita in that country ( No word about North America yet ) will sell Cosmic Red and Sapphire Blue Vita models starting November 15th . Thank you Sony ...... what else can we say .

 

New PS3 Super Slim Model Next Week

Sony is releasing a new " Super Slim " Playstation 3 model to be in stores sometime next week. The new unit is 25% less in weight and volume and comes with up to 500 GB's of memory . Few details have leaked about the new console and here's what I know thus far . The new console still does not come with a HDMI cable for some reason but thats ok we all already have one anyway ; however , if your new to playstation 3 and plan on picking this up you will need to purchase a HDMI cable for HD output .
 Unfortunately the unit is still not playstation 2 compatible which also makes no sense . Gone are the front disk loading days because the PS3 Super Slim top loads Blue Ray disk's from a plastic sliding top panel ( not a flip open ) that sounds and looks cheap . It will still have 2 USB connections in the front like the the slim models . It is also said that it runs a little louder because the disk runs directly on top of the console unit .
 The new system looks and sounds cheaper than its older cousins but thats because its exactly that ...... cheaper.... as far as price goes . Someone looking for something smaller for limited space applications and less money then this is for you ; however , on the other hand if you already own a PS3 Slim then your good as gold because the slim looks , feels and sounds better than the Super Slim Console. Unfortunately I do not have exact prices per GB unit but will update as soon as more information rolls in .

Wii U Pre-Orders Selling Out Across U.S

UPDATE

Its confirmed that the new next generation Nintendo hardware Wii-U is selling out all across the United States . All premium models are reserved with only very few lower end models available at a few Wallmarts across America. Numerous stores and retailers confirm that pre-order stock is fast disappearing . Looks like the Nintendo Wii-U is going to enjoy the same success as its older Wii which sold more than any other console and was the bonifide winner of the console wars for the last generation. Those who may have doubted the Wii-U are in for a big surprise as Nintendo will once again find itself hard pressed to meet demand in the production of the new console. With games like Super Mario and Zelda confirmed for the console its no big surprise to me.

Wii U Launch Titles

#1. Bayonetta
#2. Tekken Tag Tournaments 2
#3. Super Mario bros U
#4. Nintendo Land
#5. Obstacle Arcade
#6. FIFA 13
#7. ZombiU
#8. Call Of Duty : Black Ops 2
#9. Mass Effect 3
#10. Trine 2 : Directors Cut
#11. Toki Tori 2
#12. Raymen Legends
#13. Nano Assault Neo
#14. Ben10 : Omniverse

I will keep the list updated as new releases are announced . If you are aware of any additional titles for the Wii U launch please let us know in the comments .

Valve Working On Next Gen Console

Well its now confirmed that software company Valve who has brought us such great games as Portal and Half-Life is now working on a new console for next gen . Valve has made it clear that they are fed up with current restrictions on the hardware offered by Xbox and Playstation and plan on making thier own with vast improvements which will allow better games to be created . Some people have argued that this means computer hardware ; however , this is very unlikely considering computer gaming has no limits and can always be upgraded and built upon at will . Valve is most likely talking home gaming consoles here and probably have some very interesting games being prepared soon for this hardware .
 Taking into consideration that Valve has released some of the greatest games of all times to rave reviews one can only imagine whats in store for us with Valve created hardware . Obviously Valve wants to look outside the box when it comes to video games and are now working to make that happen . With the new Wii U being launched and plans for next gen Xbox and Playstation consoles slated for 2013 we can now add one more far more mysterious addition to the mix and I must say I'm exited to see for myself what Valve has in mind. Like a current former post here at gamesplatt ...... it seems as though the console war's have truly began in earnest and this time around there will be many options .

The New Console Wars

Well the official new generation console wars has now started . You can see the fear in every gamers eye's as they grasp for their wallets and credit cards ( or their parents ) with cold clamy hands because they know this time around its going to cost them . I remember when the playstion 3 first launched and I put down $600 to play on the new console not including $60 games and other items of ridiculous price . With the soon ( weeks ) launch of the next gen Wii U and the already available next gen handheld Playstation Vita we are just seeing now the beggining of something big and very expensive coming our way.
 Sure the Wii U is priced at $300 which is not bad for a next gen console ; but , what if you need ( or want) a second or third controller ? Wait a minute ..... there is no Wii U controller ...... its a full blown computer tablet ..... good luck getting more than one Nintendo fans . Playstation Vita is only around $50 less than the new Wii U ( core price) but you will need expensive Sony memory cards , $40-$50 games, ect , ect ........ all this and Playstation4 and Xbox720 has not even been released yet . Yes my gamer friends this ones going to get ugly and even if your well off in todays economy its really going to hurt after the dark clouds of the next-gen console war have passed .
 I can imagine since the Playstaion 3 cost around $600 at lauch and games are around $60 now then the new Playstation mind machine will run close to that $600 mark and games will run around $70-$80 and who know's about the strange controllers we are in store for and how much those bad boys will cost .
 Either way you look at it the war is upon us all and we will have to pay ...... the question remains . What console , which handheld and what games ? I'm confused right now ... I own a Playstation 3 and a Vita ( my Xbox broke ) and until I see what Xbox and Playstation have to offer I sit and wait and count how much money is in the bank.

Wii U Black Ops 2 Confirmed

We all know about the soon to be released Wii U console from Nintendo and with it comes an impressive line up of games including Black Ops 2 . For those of you who laugh and think that this hardware is anything at all like the original Wii will be in for a bit of a surprise. The Wii U's new hardware is very impressive including a tablet like controller . With games like Black Ops 2 and many other great games coming to the new console it should be interesting to see how it sells .
 Wii U will launch November 18 2012 and will cost around $299 ( just $50 more than the Vita ) . From what I have seen so far the games look amazing , original and next-gen to say the least . It should be very interesting watching the youtube gameplay video's of Black Ops 2 on the next-gen console and to see how it differ's from the software on Playstation3 or Xbox360 . These video's are sure to get allot of views because allot of people are interested in the new way of playing hardcore games the way the Nintendo Wii U brings it .
 Are you getting a Wii U at launch or will you wait to see how it all play's out if you even decide to get it at all? Let us know and share your idea's and/or any additional information you may have on this new console.

Call Of Duty Demise Imminent

Allot of you will flame this story before you even read the entire article because that is just how the COD community has proven itself over the years . I have been a hardcore Call Of Duty fan and player since the first Modern Warfare until present so dont even start calling me a fanboy of battlefield ( i dont play any BF ) or any other franchise because its simply not true . So now lets look at the facts .
 Black Ops was the first addition to the series that began to really hurt the franchise and I know about the units sold ; but , I'm referring about the future downward spiral thats imminent . Why you ask ? Well the answer is quite simple . Infinity Ward , treyarch and acttivision have over the last few years turned their back on the core Call Of Duty community to cater more and more to the casual COD gamers for more sales and money which has worked so far ; however , over time they are losing more and more original hardcore players because of their shady tactics and connections to 3rd party websites like boosterbusters.com that resulted in thousands of harcore players being banned and reset simply because of false reports from these 3rd parties since being declared by activision amongs others as fake and huge numbers of false reports ; but , by this time its too late to say sorry for the thousands of loyal followers whom had their stats reset all because someone reported them in anger after getting beat in an online match . Now it seems they are catering even more to the casual gamers by introducing the "point" streek system in Black Ops 2 instead of the time tested and loved kill streak after all it is a war game and war is about killing . The first Black Ops was even brave enough to release the game without true leaderboards ; but , score per second ( or minute not sure ) thus making the true nature of playing the game for extended periods of time worthless plus the traditional leaderboard by kills and wins ect was the biggest selling point of not only COD games ; but , all online multiplayer games I mean come on its all about who's #1 right ( If your casual at the game dont answer please ) ?
 Lets now look at the negative impact of such horrible desisions . First and foremost casual gamers will pick up the copy thus boosting sales record ; but , in the long run its the hardcore COD community that purchases all the extra map packs , COD Elite subscriptions and more . The hardcore COD community also invest more time playing , buying special editions and much more bringing in huge sums of money compared to the casual COD player who plays for an hour or two switches to campaign mode and trades the game in later after beating the limited campaign mode . So ask yourself ..... In the long run who really keeps Call Of Duty games afloat ? Yes thats right the hardcore COD community thats who you know the ones who are going to have to face endless "point" streaks in Black Ops 2 from players who simply complete a few simple objectives even though they are going super negative and ruining the game for everyone else before pulling the plug and ending the game for everyone.
 Recently in reliable gaming news scources it is estimated that gaming lost 12 million gamers in 2012 . Well I hate to be the doomsayer here but if the Call Of Duty franchise keeps on this path in a few years everyones going to playing that "new" franchise thats gives hardcore shooters what they want . Who's going to make it or what is that game going to be? We dont know but one thing is for sure its coming and with classic's like original 123 leaderboards and hardcore competive action without being banned for being good ..... allot of gamers are going to pack up and leave and COD will be left with all the casual gamers who spend next to nothing on extras and spending most of their time reporting others for being better than them . Oh yea one last thing before closing this article . COD the game states clearly on the front "mature" so why are little kids getting mature players banned for using mature language on a mature game? Yea thats what I thought . Get it together .

Sony's Plan For Wii-U

After the latest Sony Playstation Vita update I sat back and got myself comfortable for a long session of God Of War Saga remote play on my vita when I noticed something . Beside the option for remote play was an option for cross play which means that now the Vita can be used as a controller although with some restrictions ( to be patched later I'm sure ) then it became apparent in my mind at least what in fact Sony has been planning for the Vita .
 As you all know the new hardware from Nintendo under the name Wii-U will release this year and includes a controller that is a tablet and interactive with games and what you see on your t.v screen. Its now only a matter of time until a further patch is done for the Vita making it basically the same thing on par with the Wii-U idea of an interactive touch game controller . So expect very soon after the release of the Nintendo Wii to see Vita game developers making games that are interactive with the Vita as the main controller for certain games .

Dark Souls / Hardest Game Ever Made

After putting in around 20 hour's of gameplay and realizing ..... hey I havn't got very far and I have died around 1,372 times . Every step you take death awaits you and behind every wall and in every dark corner the dead await to slaughter you as you pass . Every 20 or 30 yards gained during this game feels like a great accomplishment . Just when you destroy a boss or hard enemy and think you have won and earned safety for at least awhile ..... no just around the next corner death awaits .
 Gathering souls to level up is agonizing and after losing an untold amount of souls before reaching them again after dying the realisation of the pain and agony of sludging through this game became horribly apparent . No words can even describe the mental anguish as you die over and over sometimes by the simplest and stupidest things you can imaging. I still have at least 30 or more hours of gameplay ( dying ) left in this game assuming things work out ; but , in this game nothing works out besides constant grinding and replaying of the same erea's over and over agsin for souls you need to just level up one thing one point .
 Dark Souls goes down thus far as the hardest and challenging game of present memory and if you of one harder please explain lol because I doubt you really do . Even with the constant death and dying something about the game keeps you in its grips and is a great game ...... just dont by it if your on medication for depression because this game has been known to cause random madness in humans and animals near the disk itself.

Medal Of Honor Warfighter

After the free map Terminal on Modern Warfare 3 I realized just how similiar the game is to the last installment of the series Modern Warfare 2 . Sure it was fun for a while because it is a classic map ( and free of course ) but it opened my eyes to the fact that the Call Of Duty series is running short on fresh idea's . Why not give us a new map pack? Why are both games almost the exact same minus the change of maps and a few new kill streaks ? Allot of questions for sure ; but , questions that need answered before I keep dropping hard earned money on these so called "new" Call Of Duty games .
 That brings us now to Medal Of Honor Warfighter and I must admit ( like allot of others ) this game looks very good and most importantly ..... original and fresh . From what I have seen so far this game promises a great single and multiplayer experience that just maybe different then the same old , same old and a welcome change if that. Dont get me wrong I love Call Of Duty and I will by all these games ........ which ones I will play the most and drop the most money on is still up in the air . What are your thoughts about the coming Medal Of Honor Warfighter and do you plan on playing this game?

Killzone 3 vs Black Ops Declassified

Well I been looking into the comments of many a story about both Killzone 3 and Black Ops Declassified for the Playstaion Vita handheld and I must say there are allot of opinions out there about which game is better or better yet , which will be the Vita system saver that Sony is looking for to boost sales of its new handheld device . As mentioned before in an earlier post BO Declassified is picking up much heat for its sub-par reveal trailer that showed us ..... well not much at all compared to the Killzone Vita trailer that showed all the good stuff Vita owners are looking for .
 In the Black Ops Vita trailer we see bland envirenments and sub-par graphics and to the bewilderment of many ..... no zombies . Then like a cold sweaty hand smacking us across the face the Killzone 3 Vita trailer showed us great graphics , original gameplay and a more polished looking game in general from what we have gathered from the preview trailer. No I'm not taking sides I will purchase both games myself because thats just how I role . The real question is ..... Are you going to purchase the BO Declassified in November upon release or will you hang in there until Killzone is released in 2013 ? Maybe your just like me and will get both copies ..... only time will tell and until those review's hit major game networks online I dont see a game changer in one of these games . What are your thought's ?

Far Cry 3 Looking Better And Better

The Far Cry series has always been ahead of its time in the world of closed world games. When I first started playing Far Cry 2 I was simply amazed at not only the great graphics ; but , the complete open world and free play . Unlike other games of the time where gamers are usualy led down a chosen path to kill enemy's in closed spaces and corridors Far Cry 2 injected players into something completly different . You could choose to go anywhere at all and do whatever you wanted to in a huge sandbox of jungle , rivers , roads and much more . The depth of that game alone with the huge amount of gameplay involved ( depending on what you decided to do ) made that game worth every penny and then some .
 Far Cry 3 is soon to be released on these same consepts promising better graphics , more enemy's ( including wildlife like tigers ) and the same open world sandbox play we all love with some insanity thrown in for good measure . The only bad thing about Far Cry 3 is the release date sometime in 2013 which has allot of us gamers biting our nails for a long time ; but , at the same time comfortable with the fact that this game was not rushed and the end product will be polished . With the equally promising and fun looking multiplayer this game might just be what many gamers have been looking for .
