News::Batman: Arkham Origins Doesn't Feature Kevin Conroy After All

Joystiq: ''After some confusion, we've clarified Kevin Conroy doesn't feature in Batman: Arkham Origins at all. Origins Senior Producer Ben Mattes told Joystiq, "We've got Roger Craig Smith, he's our Batman. Troy Baker, he's our Joker. Kevin Conroy, he's not part of this game." Initial reports indicated long-time Batman voice actor Conroy wasn't in Origins. He then announced at the recent Dallas Comic Con that he'd been working on "the next Arkham" game. Shortly after, Craig Smith was officially unveiled as Origins' younger Batman, leading to speculation Conroy might be involved in some kind of retrospective role.''

AusGamers attended a small pre-E3 event hosted by Ubisoft and had a chance to get up close and personal with a demo of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. From their preview: " As pirates, you and your crew obviously arent aligned to anyone but your own desire for all the phat lewts, but the game does offer up factions by way of the warring Spanish and British, both of whom you can engage as you see fit, but you can also just leave them alone to sort out their own issues. This allows you to simply come in and pick off the limping winner, or enjoy the leftover spoils of battle -- either way, being a somewhat neutral party in the series does present itself with exciting opportunities. For example, you can engage in taking over island forts, manned by either of the aforementioned factions. These are basically mini-games, or meta-games, which have become a staple distraction in the series in the past few entries. And, like another recently-released Ubisoft title, taking over thes...

News::Saints Row IV: Now with more floppy cocks

So here's a funny little story. When Volition first showed off Saints Row: The Third , the male and female private parts were way more animated. Black censor bars covered the naughty stuff -- actually, it was pixelated censorship the first time we saw it before switching to black bars. Anyway, penises and boobs would bounce around freely as players would run around naked, and the black bars would bounce along in tandem. Unfortunately Volition had to cut out the bounciness and stick with just stationary privates/censor blocks due to coding issues and time constraints.

Well I'm happy to report that the floppiness is back! I found this out first hand when I stripped the President naked, wall ran up the highest building I could find, super jumped into the air, and then glided across the virtual skies of Steelport. The whole time the President's junk was flopping around like a wacky wavy inflatable tube man. Videogames!

I should note that the floppiness was back in the demo build I played. We'll see if it actually sticks around into the final game. If you're all for the flop then you should let Deep Silver/Volition hear your cries.

News::Xbox One won’t launch in Asia until late 2014

The Xbox One won’t see release in Asia until late 2014, Microsoft’s Alan Bowman told the Wall Street Journal. The delayed launch is a part of the publisher’s “staged approach” to the new console’s launch.

The delay is due to Microsoft fine-tuning the console for the Asian markets. Bowman pointed to fine-tuning the Kinect camera to work in smaller rooms, as those in cities with high population density like Singapore or Hong Kong tend to have much smaller areas in which to play games.

Once launched, the Xbox One will only be available in select Asian markets, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and India.

I've been dying to get my hands on A Realm Reborn. But, being an MMO, you need other people to really get a feel for the gameplay. It wasn't much, but we've finally had our first hands-on for E3.

I was joined by several other members of the games media in a short romp through the world of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. We jumped into pre-rolled mid-level characters (about level 35 or so) to try our hand at some of the game's new FATE battles. These Full Active Time Events have Square Enix jumping on the bandwagon with other recent MMO titles, giving players randomly generated public events that they can group together to tackle.

For example, a herd of Cactuar could invade a town, requiring all players to band together to fight them back. How great does that sound?

Yeah the environment is largely the same, but personally that's something I'm okay with as that's given Volition the chance to focus way more on upping the gameplay, adding a ton more mini-games, and creating a story as absurd and funny as you fighting off an alien invasion as the President of the United States.
