News::AC III DLC now available, but not for season pass holders

AC III DLC now available, but not for season pass holders screenshot



In preparation for my upcoming impressions of the new Assassin's Creed III King Washington DLC (800 MSP, $9.99), I booted up my 360 this morning to grab the download. I found that it was readily available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for all to see -- but not for me, a Season Pass holder.


Odds are the DLC will be up later today through the in-game Season Pass menu, but this is just yet another consequence of the system itself. Many Assassin's Creed fans, some of who took off of work, are understandably frustrated at the inability to access the content they paid for at the same time as everyone else.


If you're suffering from this issue on the 360, PS3, or PC, just know you're not alone, and sit tight. There's still no word on a Wii U release date for this DLC.

News::Crysis 3 review


Gearbox might have failed to reshape Aliens into an engaging videogame, but Crytek’s had better luck with Predator over the years. The Crysis series has always been enthralled by John McTiernan’s film, with the jungle-to-urban switch in Crysis 2 mimicking its inspiration’s own trajectory. Here the debt is paid. Your bow, a bit of hi-tech yet primitivistic weaponry, shares its name with McTiernan’s alien.


And the Predator bow plays a crucial role in Crysis 3′s standout multiplayer mode, which itself recalls Arnie’s struggle in the jungle. Hunters is an asymmetric gametype that sees cloaked, bow-wielding assassins whittling down a group of heavily armed mercs. The mercenaries have proximity trackers and conventional arms, but the assassins enjoy one-hit kills and near-invisibility, and any unfortunate they slay is compelled to join their ranks. It’s a paranoid game of invisible cat and gun-toting mice, where a tightly knit huddle of mercenaries can be scattered by the merest ripple of active camo in the burnt-out buildings above them.


It’s a mode that has clearly internalised important lessons from Crysis 2. Players have an auto-armour perk equipped by default now, which ensures the Nanosuit’s defensive capabilities automatically engage when under fire. It’s a neat way of slowly introducing those more used to Mjolnir armour to Crytek’s skintight, manually operated alternative. The same goes for the fizzling pop of a Nanosuit with depleted armour reserves. Toggling the suit’s crystalline defences on and off has always been key to combat, but there’s a clarity to its importance and functionality now that makes for more readable and prolonged encounters.



But the real reason that Hunters mode works is because it mostly does away with such concerns, taking Crysis’s bulging utility belt’s worth of weapons, tools, suit modes and tactical options, and rigidly dividing them up among participants. From that inflexible rationing emerges a clearly defined gametype, one in which both sides are aware of the other’s limits and capabilities. Hunters is also the antidote to Crysis 3′s singleplayer campaign, which is crippled by the freedom that it generously offers players.


Self-sabotaging feature-creep means that in addition to the Nanosuit’s cloak, Armour mode and various athletic tricks, Crysis 3 reintroduces alien weaponry, gives Prophet the ability to hack and subvert turrets, and hands him the Predator bow. There’s a game in that bow, with its satisfying thwack and various ammo types, but that game isn’t Crysis 3, which renders its signature tool irrelevant by not once contriving a scenario or enemy type in need of some Robin Hood-style perforation. This problem surfaces repeatedly across the breadth of Prophet’s skillset, stuffed as it is with options that aren’t exactly useless, but that lack purpose.

News::Gamespy- Crysis 3 Review

GS:Let's get this clear up front: Crysis 3 is a better first-person shooter than Crysis 2 in almost every way. Gameplay is more robust and varied, the storytelling is more mature, and it's often visually stunning. Unfortunately, it's also not very ambitious: it leans heavily on ideas already established by better games, and as such isn't an especially remarkable experience. Its reach might exceed its grasp in a few key areas, but Crysis 3 is still a largely enjoyable excuse to take a trip to post-apocalyptic New York.

CVG:The Crysis series has always been defined by bleeding-edge tech, each instalment a lucid demonstration of apex videogame visuals and the great pulsing brain powering successive CryEngines.

EuroGamer: "The story's over, then, and the Nanosuit's had what might be its final airing: is this the conclusion the Crysis series deserves? Not quite: that true panoramic freedom is still missing in action, the campaign's rather undernourished as it rushes you into the final act and the fiction feels increasingly forgettable. There are charms here, though, if you boot up the tactical display and stick to the shadows. There's the silent kill in glorious surroundings; there's the swish of an arrow, the creak of a bow."

News::IGN - Assassin's Creed 3: The Tyranny of King Washington Episode 1 Review

IGN - Downloadable content is always most successful when it takes a game and characters that you know well and puts them in a new, ideally implausible setting like Red Dead Redemptions Undead Nightmare, or Borderlands Zombie Island of Dr Ned. (It doesnt have to involve zombies, but hey, thats clearly been successful so far.) One-off what-if stories work best as bite-sized experiences, and DLC is ideal for that. Assassins Creed 3s first add-on looks promising, on these criteria. Its an alternate-history story, and though its set in the same beautiful snow-covered frontier that Assassins Creed 3 brought to life last October, it sees you doing quite different things.

TPG speaks to Alex Jones, Senior Producer for Capcom USA. Here is a taste: There are some who say the PC market is so small that the effort needed to make a proper PC version is a determent to overall development of multi-platform titles. Why did you choose to create a PC version which took advantage of the platform? "I would say almost the opposite: if you do your job right on the console side you can generally develop a PC version quite reasonably from both a budget and production logistics standpoint. We had the advantage of using a top notch PC development house which makes life infinitely easier. As of the reason: since we knew we would only be running the console version at 30 fps and that many super hardcore DMC players would insist on 60 fps the only option for fulfilling that desire would be a PC version."
