News::New PlanetSide 2 update improves game performance

I didn't stick with PlanetSide 2 for terribly long despite having a positive first impression. The main issue, I think, was my inability to not repeatedly die. That'll sure end your desire to play. For other more skilled players, the problem was that of optimization and low frame rates. A new update -- the biggest one Sony Online Entertainment has done since launch -- should address this.


"We focused our efforts on the machines that more than 80% of our player base had, which is quad-core or above, AMD and Intel, 4G or more RAM, Windows 64-bit, AMD and nVidia GPUs," writes technical director Ryan Elam.


"We focused almost entirely on CPU optimizations, because it's a great deal easier to lower GPU settings when you want higher FPS. We also focused on optimizations that would yield maximum benefit in worst cases, such as 100+ man skirmishes. We had many 250+ man battles on Test where players were adamant that there were no performance issues!"


Might want to try this out again on PC, huh? Elam says the team has seen frame-rate improvements of around 30 percent in 100-person battles with the update. Now this I gotta see.


OMFG! OMFG1 IS OUT! [PlanetSide 2]

News::In Defense of Dumb: Why I Love Call of Duty

Mike writes, "The argument goes like this; games like Call of Duty are terrible and damaging because they purport to make realistic and 'authentic' types of games while adhering to video gamey tropes like regenerating health. Apparently, it disrespects real soldiers because that's not what it's like over there. I'm curious about where these people stand on issues with games where you play as a police officer and have regenerating health when shot by a criminal, but I digress."

News::Review: Call of Duty: Ghosts - MKGaming

MKGaming - "Lets give praise where its due. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare pretty much single handedly changed first person shooters on consoles. It bought us unlocks, perks, loadouts and much more, whether you like these things or not you have to admit, it was a bit of a game changer. Modern Warfare came out in 2007 and every year since weve been exposed to another Call of Duty title, with development switching between Infinity Ward and Treyarch. Critics have accused the Call of Duty series of being stale with the engine and gameplay almost being identical year after year."

Zachary from Structure Gaming Writes: "Its kind of surprising just how massive video games have become when you really stop and think about it. Grand Theft Auto V recently broke records for entertainment media, as have all the Call of Duty games since Modern Warfare 2. Theyve become a cultural phenomenon all over the world and many other countries are starting to contribute to the medium. Whether its the fantastic adventure game Papo & Yo by Brazilian independent developer Minority, Ace Teams hilarious Rock of Ages and unique Zeno Clash series from Chile, or even Croatias own Serious Sam first person shooter series by developer Croteam, many developers from countries all over the world have been making a growing impact with their games. As such, Ive done everything I can to seek out games from countries without any real prior game development and try to shine a little light on some gems that might slip under the radar."

Ronimo Games has passed along a quick note that Awesomenauts: Assemble won't be ready in time for the North American launch of the PlayStation 4 on November 15 as previously expected. The 2D MOBA has officially been pushed back to "launch window" status.


On the bright side, the studio is hopeful it can have Awesomenauts finished for the console's European launch on November 29. Fingers crossed. Console gamers have missed out on the PC version's expanded content for too long. It's a whole new game these days. A fantastic one at that.

News::A Morbid Taste for Crime: Hannibal and Deadly Premonition

Videogameologists: All these TV crime dramas are the same. Dismembered victims lay waiting for genius detective to solve their murder, and all it takes is thirty something minutes to find the killer. Boring. Well a new crime drama is dicing the competition by proving its different from the rest of the slow burners. Hannibal, titled after the main antagonist of Silence of the Lambs and based on the characters of the novel Red Dragon, just got renewed for a second season after a lackluster ratings run. How can something rated so low get renewed for another season? I dont know, but NBC seems to be on roll with producing smart, quality shows while trailing behind ratings wise. A sad reality, though not for fans of Hannibal. Besides the great acting and story, something in this show reminisces very familiar to a certain game I played before that I would have never compared this great show to had I not read a certain tweet.

Laser Lemming Writes "Despite the 3D models and 2.5D perspective Mirror of Fate HD is in fact a very traditional Castlevania, with most of its cues taken from the series pre Symphony of the Night. Although there are upgrades to be found and hidden chests that boost your health and magic meters, the games focus on combat over out and out exploration, and multiple player characters make Mirror of Fate feel more like a modern day Rondo of Blood or Bloodlines than SOTN or Dawn of Sorrow. On the whole, the game is mostly unchanged from the original 3DS version, which, depending on how you feel about it, is either a good thing or a terrible thing; in short if you hated the game previously this version will do little to change your feelings."

News::Could the next-gen be the nice-gen? If so, Zoo Tycoon is a good start


Microsoft’s launch line-up for the Xbox One is awfully stabby. At a preview event in London last week, I wandered from stall to stall, checking off hands-ons and interviews with the triple-A titles like Dead Rising 3 and Ryse, but on the list of interviewees there was a game that I’m now quite embarrassed to say I’d never heard of. Zoo Tycoon? What’s that, a game about stabbing lemurs? Kicking penguins? Pulling the wings off an eagle?


None of the above, it turns out. It’s a lovely game about building a great big zoo, filling it with all sorts of exotic animals and feeding them apples with the Kinect. No-one gets pushed into an enclosure and ripped apart by Kodiaks, no-one ragdollises on the front of a zoo buggy and leaves bloody tyre tracks on the paths. The most violent thing I could do was use a water hose to spray an elephant in the face – which it turns out elephants love, the masochists.


After chopping up the enemies of Rome and ploughing through the undead on a motorbike-cum-steamroller, Zoo Tycoon was a breath of fresh air I didn’t know I needed. It’s a complete reversal of pervading wisdom on this generation that making things nastier – more realistically gory, more wincingly violent – will make me like a game more. Games like Ryse want me to like them because they’re horrible – loud, crass, swaggering things dripping blood and machismo. Zoo Tycoon wants me to like it because it’s nice.



One of the first things Microsoft Studios Studio Manager Jorg Neumann told me as I sat plonking down enclosures for my park was that the team at Frontier Developments were focussed on getting the “most beautiful animals in gaming” (has there ever been a nicer mission statement than that?). We zoomed in on a giraffe to have a closer look at its mane, all bristly and shiny in 1080p, and the giraffe twitched its ears. “We spent hundreds of hours watching YouTube videos to get the animations just right,” says Neumann. “We really geeked out.”


The team also put in the hours with animal charities and National Geographic, so that each animal’s bio correctly reflected what it eats, how it lives and how much mankind is tarmacing over its habitat – just like in a real zoo. It’s like directing your own Attenborough documentary, but all the animals get along and never die from exposure.


Finally, Neumann and his team want to use the game as tool to protect nature. “Zoos are about two things,” he says, “education and conservation.” That’s why the developers have an agreement in place whereby once a set number of players complete challenges in the game (like releasing a certain number of rhinos into the virtual wild, for example), Microsoft will make a real-world donation to the relevant animal charity or zoo. Which, as far as I know, doesn’t happen in Dead Rising.



The sad thing is, Zoo Tycoon will probably suffer from launching alongside its bigger, bloodier Day One cousins. Even at the preview event, while the triple-A titles had multiple screens and consoles set up so people could play in waves, Zoo Tycoon had a single, lonely booth. Seen on a shelf or a pre-order list, it’d be easy to assume that it was the token ‘family-friendly’ launch game – something for the kids to have a go on before they go to bed and mum and dad can get back to the grown-up business of sticking swords through people’s faces. It made me think: when did being nice become something juvenile?


It also made me wonder if I’ve ever played a ‘nice’ big budget game before. Certainly on this generation the pickings are slim: even the Lego games use death as a fail state, albeit a temporary, cartoonish one. LittleBigPlanet has spike traps. I run people off the road in racers. Even going back to childhood and my Sega Mega Drive, Simba got trampled to death in The Lion King and Aladdin could tumble into bottomless pits. I thought I had a winner with SimCity, but the only reason my ten-year-old self played that was to build a sprawling Utopia then bring on an alien apocalypse. That’s practically genocide.


That makes Zoo Tycoon the nicest (non-indie) game I’ve ever played – winner by default, champion in a one-horse race. I hope it sets a precedent. For months we have, as gamers, been asking what’s new about next-gen, and the answers we’ve had have unanimously fallen somewhere on the (slightly dull and predictable) spectrum of bigger-prettier-and-online-ier. But wouldn’t it be great if the answer was ‘it’s going to be nicer’? Not less fun or less challenging, just a bit less ‘do-this-or-you’ll-die’ and a bit more ‘do-this-because-it’s-lovely’. More fur, less dismemberment. 1080p is a hot topic for Xbox One at the minute – but what developers do with it is every bit as important as hitting the milestone in the first place.


Zoo Tycoon looks set to launch alongside the Xbox One as an exclusive.
