Along with this little nugget, they also came out along with Sony and announced that this would be coming to the PS4, and not only that, but that they are building it for Project Morpheus as well! So this would make it the first official Project Morpheus game to be announced. Along with the announcement they also released this gameplay video as well.

The game has you the the player, playing either a man or a woman stranded on a an Island called ARK that is inhabited by all sorts of dinosaurs and other primitive creatures, and you must use your wit and cunning to create tools, tame some of the dinosaurs and learn to survive.

The player will be forced to hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements, while teaming up with or preying upon hundreds of other players to survive, all while trying to escape.

They have also stated that the game will be coming for PC/MAC on Steam as well as Xbox One, no word on whither or not they will be supporting Occulus or the HTC Vive on PC or not, but here is hoping.

No Official release date has been given yet, but they are doing a Steam early access release on June 2nd for anyone interested in getting in a little early.

Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 5 Announced

On May 7, 2015May 7, 2015 By AnjelIn Game Videos, Games, News, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox OneLeave a comment

It has been more then a decade since we have seen a new Pro Skater, but it looks like Activision has decided it is time. They have announced the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, PS3 as well as Xbox 360.

Robomodo, the developer of the previous Tony Hawk: Ride, Shred and Pro Skater HD is at the helm, and they are claiming that they are heading back to the roots of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series in this, which mean missions, power-ups and all sorts of ridiculousness.

They are hoping to create a seamless online world were you can be online and playing with friends and then be offline and have the transition be invisible to the user. They are also saying that players will be able to create and design their own skate parks and share them online.

Activision has come out and said that the game will be 20$ cheaper on Xbox 360 and PS3, and that some of the “seamless” online play may not make it onto those platforms.

No release date has been announced yet

Canadian Game Prices on the Rise?

On April 28, 2015 By RicoIn Games, Games, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One3 Comments

Game prices

I’m not one to start blazing any trails when it comes to real journalism however I feel like I’m the only out there that seems to have noticed that Canadian gamers are going to be paying more for their games starting this Fall.

When browsing Eb Games website I happened to noticed the homepage was advertising the pre-order for Black Ops III, at first glance things seems pretty normal. I then noticed the price, $79.99 CDN and this wasn’t for any special edition. This was for the regular run of the mill standard edition, no extra bells and whistles except maybe some BS day one pre-oder downloadable crap. So, I started digging and noticed that Star Wars Battlefront was also marked up to the new low price of $79.99. To be clear since the Canadian dollar started slipping over a year ago game prices immediately went up $10 to $69.99, however the dollar has stabilized and to be exact actually went up recently. So, why the price increase? Does Eb Games know something we don’t, will the Canadian dollar crash this Fall and we should all invest in US currency while we still can? or are we getting f*cked? My money is on the getting screwed part. This leads me to wonder if our American friends have an ugly price increase coming their way? To be fair the increased prices have been spotted on Amazon.ca as well and I’m sure other retailers are following suit so Eb Games isn’t the only guilty party. I just thought it was strange that nobody has seemed to notice or made a stink.

My suggestion is that you please refrain from pre-ordering any titles and letting the retailers know that this increase isn’t OK. Hopefully I haven’t stumbled onto the future price of admission for gaming, as it is already an expense hobby to begin with.
