Dust 514 confirmed Exclusive to PS3
Sony and CCP Games announced yesterday that the long awaited game Dust 514 is planned exclusively for PS3 ONLY. This announcement has been met with a lot of apprehension from the Xbox community and many articles have sprouted up slamming CCP for their decision.
I can only agree with there decision however because the PS3 offers a robust networking setup that can allow for an extremely wide range of connectivity to the PC brother EVE Online. CCP are brilliant and they know what they are doing and what they need. I don't doubt for a second that they made that decision because it benefits DUST and will allow it to be a much better game. Not to mention that the graphical quality will be outstanding since there will not have to be any ports.
For more information on DUST 514 head over to this website and check out all the details!

Hitman 5: Absolution details revealed!
So its finally upon us. Hitman 5 is on its way. Square Enix revealed today the teaser above and also some minor details.
“Hitman Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the centre of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth.”
“For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman® fantasy,” said Tore Blystad, game director, IO Interactive. “This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world.”
Thanks to the wonderful people at Gamersmint it can now be confirmed that Hitman 5 is on its way.
With IO's new proprietary engine "Glacier 2." This game will boast a more cinematic feel with a deeper more personal story.
There is a more proper reveal scheduled for tomorrow so I'll throw the details up as I get them.
Expect a full showing at E3 this year!
Bungie's Next Game Leaked!?
I was doing my normal sweep of the interwebs and I've stumbled upon this interesting site...
http://www.bungieaerospace.com/
This site has hinted to the new game Bungie is producing obviously. Now during the Activision/Blizzard conference, the title of said game could have accidentally been slipped:
"Bungie Universe"
Now this also works because if you look at the site referenced above, the latin on the left "per audacia ad astra" directly translates to "by the daring to the stars" (thanks google translate).
Now obviously that can be then taken as daring to venture to the stars or venturing into space. Sooooooo, if you put two and two together. I have a feeling Bungie's next title has to do with space whether it be commanding a ship or simply being in space. Its a step in the right direction.

Lucas Arts Big Reveal?!
After calming down from getting over excited about a new Star Wars Battlefront game, I decided to just blast away at websites and googles queries trying to find as much information as possible. I shot over to Game Informers website and wouldn't ya know, there on the front page is an article about the big reveal from Starwars.com.
As I was reading the article Game Informer has fallen to the speculation of so many like you and I. This time however, this speculation truly has potential. At the end of the article, GI stated that
"Curiously, though, we were actually sent the image by LucasArts, the video game publishing branch of Lucasfilm, making some of us wonder if there might be a game-related announcement coming."
See, I totally overlooked that subtle but very important hint. After reading the article I skimmed my trash box in my email and lo and behold, I received the same image from LucasArts as well. NOT just Lucasfilm.
So people, are we to expect Star Wars: Battlefront 3? The future is looking just a little bit brighter. I will keep everyone posted with up to the minute news as I find it.

Star Wars: Battlefront 3?
I recently came across this video and I gotta say, It's rather convincing. I'm praying that this game comes out soon.
Seeing how Pandemic was bought and then swiftly shutdown. I don't know the fate of this game. But, one can only wish right?
What are your thoughts?
----------------------------UPDATE---------------
I did some digging and that was an actual game in the making by the developer Free Radical. It however was passed on and sadly, the tech that allowed you to fly into space and back onto the planet stayed with free radical.
Hopefully something comes of this at this years E3 or even better is announced tomorrow at 6AM.
May the 4th be with you... Countdown website
To top all that off, there is also some chatter coming from a venue of different devs. Spark Unlimited has a "AAA" title in the works and could be moving towards BF3 because of the recent hire of Longo.
Crytek UK has something "the people will be happy about" that is planned to be shown at E3 this year. Crytek UK used to be Free Radical before they were bought.
I guess time will tell. All this information has been building up so lets see if Lucas Arts and a very ambitious dev team can rise to the challenge

E3 Around the Corner
Hey all,
As you know E3 is swiftly approaching us, with ground breaking news coming from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, this is sure to be one of the best E3's to date. As always, I will be covering every ounce of news I pick up and it will be delivered to you. So make sure you check back frequently for all your up to date gaming news!
Now as far as news is concerned, Nintendo is expected to announce their new next gen console at this show. There is a ton of speculation as to what it could be. Michael Pachter from Wedbush Morgan Securities, called the ball on this way back and now Nintendo has followed his prediction.
So what do you all think its gonna be? A larger DS that utilizes 2 screens (your tv and one on the controller), or perhaps a powerful performance based console to compete with Sony and Microsoft?
You tell me! Leave a comment or shoot me an email and let me know what you think Nintendo has up their sleeves.

The Future of EVE Online
I just got the new EVE Online newsletter today and one of the main stories on it was a video that showed the combined vision of both EVE Online and Dust 514. What the video shows is pure video game bliss.
If CCP Games can solidify a game that ties the consoles and the computers in and can deliver a universe that is experienced by all and enjoyed by all then we are in for a treat.
That demo video made me so excited! I have been a long time EVE player and can honestly say that if that is the future of EVE, sign me up for life!
Check out the vid below and leave your comments. Enjoy!

Crytek Embarassing IGN? I think not.
Ok so get this, IGN called Crytek out on the very crappy demo that was distributed over PSN. I've seen it, played it, and sorry Crytek, but graphically, there is much to be desired.
I just read the article from Console Press and they go on to say that Crytek embarrassed IGN. But I feel that Crytek should be embarrassed for releasing such a shoddy demo.
IGN stated:
“The performance of the PS3 version is pretty underwhelming. The framerate is frequently low and choppy. There are jagged lines everywhere, and shadows are especially messy. There’s a muddiness to the graphics that’s hard to stomach in the wake of the PS3′s other flagship showpieces, and worse, the variable framerate really hurts controller response.”
I would have to be in complete agreement with that statement. I wasn't truly impressed with the demo at all. It definitely needed work.
The demo has been pulled from the marketplace and hopefully there will be an updated demo that will address the current issues.

To Be Or Not To Be A "+" Member
I never really put much thought into Playstation Plus until now. I mean, I have subscribed and used it's features, but to me it doesn't really hold that much value. I would be willing to pay if there was cross/party chat along with a more comprehensive buddy system, allowing a player to ignore specific people and block them. The reason I bring this up is because recently, a friend of mine on PSN, SonsOfMonroe, sent me a message talking about the lack of Cross chat, Cloud, and why we haven't seen those and other features.
He went on to state:
"If Sony gave us Cloud storage in April, then gave us Cross Chat in June for E3, That'd cause massive revenue for Sony Overnight."
Honestly, I would have to agree with that statement. It would be amazing to have cross chat and party chat for members on PSN, regardless of whether you had to pay. It would also be nice to have Cloud storage, but if that were the case, seeing how Sony has captured the universal vibe, I would expect Mobile Me to be right next to cloud for those non PC users like myself. But, in the same breath, one of the most attractive features the Playstation 3 has under its belt is the ability to play online for free. If only plus users were to have cross chat, it would cause a major outcry for support for the rest of the people not paying. Its a huge selling point that cannot be overlooked.
SonsOfMonroe then went on to say that:
"Now that Plus is here watch the new exclusive features start coming slowly. People don't want to pay for good stuff, they think members will just get to try new features first, then every one will get it later. Exclusive features is a reason to buy Playstation Plus."
Again, I agree that it's worth paying for exclusive features, but until Sony can bring everything to the table like Cross chat and the use of Cloud Storage and Mobile Me, then it still does not hold enough value for me, and again I'm still on the fence when it comes to paying for cross chat. If Sony can boast such an amazing online experience now, and offer it all for free, I'm sure cross chat can and should stay as a free feature.
I suppose it comes down to what each individual thinks about Plus, so if you have an opinion, want to rant, or have any other comments, feel free to put them in the comment box or send an email to svrmediachannel@gmail.com

New Elder Scrolls V details
This information is coming from the new issue of Playstation Magazine(French).
Details
- ‘Magnetism’ is used to prevent friendly fire in combat, by slightly ‘pulling’ your attacks towards enemies
- Some, apparently unique, enchanted weapons will have “concealed” effects. You won’t know what those are until you try the weapon.
- You cannot block if you have a sword in one hand, and a spell in another. Only players wielding two-handed blades or sword and shield can use block.
- The Spell Shield effect returns.
- Taverns will play a large role in the game. You will be able to overhear people’s conversations, start quests, acquire information, and much more.
- They mention breaking and entering to find out more about people – “Because of the open world set up you can even progress by snooping around – following people, looking out for strange behaviour and even some light breaking and entering”.
- Quest givers can give you more or less information about their quest depending on their disposition towards you.
- Several new spell effects, including “Ice Trap” (only triggered when an enemy walks over it), “Circle of Protection” (push the enemies in your vicinity away), “Fury” (make enemies fight each other), and so on.
- One of the finishing moves involves “plunging your sword into your enemy’s chest”, coupled with gurgling death noises.
- The ‘free-form’ activities you can perform include cooking, woodcutting, mining and metalwork.
- A Dragon Shout that slows down time (a la Bullet Time) is mentioned.
- Some Dragon Shouts are found in dungeons.
- There’s a city called Riverwood. It is described as ‘A smattering of timber buildings, including a sawmill’.
- Radiant Story is in part inspired by the random encounters in Fallout 3.
- The game apparently looks amazing in motion, with great environment effects such as the wind making the water swirl and making waves.
- It is possible to raise all skills to 100 but not possible to get all perks.
- Dragon encounters aren’t scripted. If one comes across a town in its travels, it might decide to attack it without warning. This may or may not involve setting it ablaze.
- Magazine talks about the improvement of NPC’s and Radiant AI.
- Every big settlement is unique. The city of Markarth Side, for example, is set into “dramatic stone cliffs, with buildings teetering on the end of sheer drops.”
- Haarfingar is said to be home to the largest trading port in Skyrim.
- The game apparently includes ‘meteorogical effects’: clouds gathering around mountaintops, etcetera.
- The glorious return of the Dwemer ruins is once again confirmed.
- One of the cities in Skyrim will apparently be heavily inspired by the Dunmer (Dark Elves), and may even be a full-fledged Dunmer settlement.
- They’re trying to go back to the “eccentricity” of Vvardenfell. Every Nord faction will have their own customs, colors, and so on.
- The economy of the game is better developed than in Oblivion. If you destroy a city’s means of income (for instance, their crops) they’ll need to buy crops from another nearby city, and prices in the city will go up.
- Archers can ‘hold their breath’ while aiming. This consumes stamina, but gives the archer a better chance of hitting the enemy.
- A wounded dragon has a chance of crashing into the ground.
- You can cut dialogue short by walking away from the NPC.
- Dragon Shouts are assigned to the R3-button on the PS3 gamepad.
- Not every NPC will have a complete set of dialogue like in Oblivion. It’ll be more like in Fallout 3, where only the ‘important’ NPC’s have anything substantial to say.
From Todd Howard…
- Quests can influence each other. Quest A may be changed for you because you completed Quest B beforehand.
- Quest givers now give more detailed instructions, in a style that’s apparently akin to Morrowind. They might even escort you to the road, to show you where to go.
- The game has 120 unique dungeons, worked on by 8 designers.
Potential spoilers
- One dungeon is called ‘Bleak Falls Barrow’, and it is inhabited by the Draugr (the undead Nord warriors we first met in Bloodmoon). As you proceed through the dungeon, you’ll eventually encounter a ‘ghostly dragon priest’, and eventually the dungeon boss, a giant ‘Frostbite Spider’. It is said the dungeon is ‘terryfing’.
- The quest to Bleak Falls Barrow is given to you by a shopkeeper called Lucan, whose priceless Draconic family heirloom (a golden claw) was stolen recently.
- The death of the King of Skyrim has sparked a civil war in the country.

This picture surfaced on the internet, and even though Saint's Row 3 has not been announced it looks plausible?

New Military Game On The Horizon?
I was browsing about the web and came across these two videos on youtube earlier this morning. These videos show an outstanding tech demo brought to you by the great people at RealTime Immerssive Inc.
Using Cry Engine 3 these people have developed some of the best looking military graphics I have ever seen. Lets hope that some developer takes advantage of this and makes a stellar Military Simulation game on par with ARMA 2 but for the consoles!!!
