While Japanese currently explore with their sword the city of Cocoon as well as Pulse’s world, the rest of the world can only drool with envy in front of the videos to be found here and there on the web… Hence, in order not to enhance this already great frustration, we won’t be dealing with Final Fantasy 13 but rather with… Final Fantasy 14! Announced by Square Enix during last E3, the future videogame seems to tackle with MMORPG’s. Indeed, this 14th episode from the legendary saga will turn towards online multiplayer, in the manner of episode 11.
The game will enable you to travel along with worldwide players all over Eorzea’s kingdom, well-known for its wild and dangerous countries in a fantasy world that mixes “magic” and “technology”. But before you see the first video extract, let’s shortly recall the various races you will have to play with. First of all, the basic race is the Huyrs, which are sorts of humans living on top of Eorza’s land. Then comes the Migo’te, catlike women divided into two tribes (one hunting only at night and the other during daylight). Lalafells are highly intelligent dwarfs that should become great allies whereas Reogadyns sailors have an incredible strength and thus will become more action focused. Finally, the mysterious Elezens are a very ancient race that used to reign over Eorzea before Huyrs arrived. So come on dear readers, take a good breath and sweat it out… as no precise date has been mentioned yet by Square!
Only one month to go before we can meet again with major Shepard and his turian friend the warrior Garrus in their space adventures. Following to the first episode, this Mass Effect 2 will thus send you straight back into space to achieve new missions in an even nicer and smoother game than its predecessor. Still conceived by Bioware’s Canadian team, this role playing game with a strong focus on action will be available on PC and Xbox 360 by the end of January. Beware dear terrestrials … the Normandy and his crew will soon need your help!
Long-considered as a reference as far as football videogames are concerned, Pro Evolution Soccer saga was beaten off in the past few years by main competitor Fifa. Hence, the Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 wishes to reverse the deal and gain back PES’ initial credibility to avoid being once more considered as “not as good as Fifa”. To do so, Konami has decided to revise upwards all graphics (finally worth of HD consoles), rework on the game play compared with the previous episode, and to adapt the artificial intelligence to ongoing game phases. Available on PS2, PS3, 360, PSP, PC and Wii, this new simulation now leaves it to virtual soccer fanatics’ decision!
This clearly arcade-looking racing game (sorry for simulation fans) called Split/Second, definitely isn’t for girls! Developed by Black Rock Studios for PC, 360 and PS3, the game will put you into a reality TV show where your task is to survive…and finish first, whatever it takes! To do so, you will be aloud to put spokes in your enemies’ wheels by bumping into their car or dangerously changing the track (when rushing into the various settings for example), no holds barred. Expected during 2010’s second semester, Split/Second promises to be perfectly de-emphasizing!
