The wonderful world of 'reals'

Remember kids... Warfighters fucking rocks!!!!

For those who have not played "war day" with us before, check the guns man....Yeah! Not long now!
A whole page of info on www.codday.co.uk about the day, be sure to check it out!

CODDAY Big day out tee-shirts are here!

No pic as yet, PAWNk1NG has picked them up from the printers...no doubt there will be a picture on the blog within the next couple of days! Oh and I am told the orange is fucking bright, so "in-your-face" all those who were worried about looking like a can of Tango.... orange it is! LOL.

180 ollie to face-plant shin grind

well that's how i skate anyway..... but this looks cool, or I hope it is, there is always a chance it will suck a hell of a lot. Let's hope the people who make "Tony" have learnt alot from what EA have done with the "Skate" games, which, are light-years ahead of the Tony games and are games for skaters, not gamers..... if you know what I mean?

Modern Warfare 2 blown wide open

Modern Warfare 2 takes players to the snow-capped peaks of Russian mountains, across the deserts of Afghanistan and into the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and introduces a new co-operative Special Forces mode to back up the single-player campaign.

That's all according to a 10-page cover feature in the latest issue of US magazine Game Informer, which says little about the game's online elements but details plans for various missions in the story mode.

"The gameplay is wide open and has a lot of variety," Infinity Ward president Jason West told Game Informer. "In terms of the story... well, any good story is on rails." The game is set against the backdrop of continuing Russian instability, with a new baddy, Makarov, using Zakhaev's demise as justification for naughtiness.

Players will have to deal with the realities of flawed intelligence, however, and missions will evolve as a result. In one example, the player and a computer-controlled version of "Soap" MacTavish assault a mountain base in a blizzard with the intention of blowing it up, but then the player spies a satellite in a building and has to nick some information about it before escaping.

Rigging explosives involves creeping through the blizzard, which dramatically reduces visibility, and using a mixture of a heartbeat sensor and MacTavish's thermal vision to either evade or neutralise guards. Once the jig is inevitably up, there's an escape on snowmobiles.

Other missions include hunting down an arms dealer in Rio, which evolves into a running gunfight with militia among fleeing civilians, and traipsing across rope bridges through hidden valleys in the vast open of Afghanistan, which is all rendered at the game's requisite 60 frames-per-second. Then it's back to Russia, apparently, to try and disable AA guns interfering with UAV Predator targeting.

Special Forces mode, meanwhile, is "in the spirit of Mile High Club", according to West, who told Game Informer that it will use tricky scenarios that didn't make it into the single-player game and thus have no relationship with the difficulty curve.

"[Co-op] made a lot more sense here," West said, explaining that the levels were designed with two players in mind. Co-op tweaks include an on-screen arrow pointing to the other player, and a mini-map highlighting your relative locations.

There's no word on competitive online multiplayer, or whether Special Forces is playable over the internet, but West did tell Game Informer that the studio likes "making people famous", and that it hopes to convince Microsoft and Sony to let it tweak variables like spawn logic without issuing a full patch.

Finally, West addressed a couple of criticisms of COD4, saying the team is "actively trying to eliminate" the issue of endlessly respawning enemies, which was based on the way scripting responded to your movement through the level. He also said he was "very happy with Modern Warfare 1 and the length of it".

All you need is Rockband

Some kit revealed, looking awesome!


Renders of DJ Hero controller


The Twitter account @DJHero has posted what are allegedly the first images of the DJ Hero controller.

Joystiq are currently following up with Activision to confirm the authenticity of the account and the images. In the meantime, feel free to give opinions on the design.


Update: Although we've yet to receive official word from Activision, a recent press release from Activision's UK PR firm included the images.

Weapon Specs

Simply put we have the most advanced simulated laser system available. Don't be hoodwinked into what other operators may tell you, they lie!Our gun frames are very realistic and expensive, they weigh and function in very much the same way as their real steel counterparts.

Ammunition:
Ammo is loaded using real magazines. This feature is really cool as the magazine itself remembers how much ammo it's holding. So if you use half a mag and then throw it to your buddy the ammo inside will not change. Ammo is reloaded for every game and it's free of charge.

Loading The Rifle:
When you insert a loaded magazine you will need to charge it. This is done by racking back the charging lever, just like the real deal. Once a round is loaded you can fire it. If you remove the magazine there will still be a single round in the barrel which can be fired. After that it's that nasty dead man's click!

Firing:
There are 3 fire settings that are controlled by the fire selector switch
Safe - this will prevent the trigger from working

Auto - This will fire all the rounds in your magazine whilst depressed
Semi - Single shot mode

Aiming:
Each rifle has a basic sight attached. Your Ghost Leaders will teach you the basics just before your game. Upgrades can be hired on site so you can pimp your rifle and improve your reaction time by fitting a reflex sight.

Range:
A massive 1,500 feet has been our maximum shot distance to date during medium daylight conditions. Range is always influenced by the weather. Rain, snow, mist and very bright sunlight will have a direct effect and reduce the range. But never to a degree that will hinder the game play.

Laser:
There's no laser in them, so the product is 100% eye safe. The system uses a special optics tube to transmit a coded signal. This is a direct beam so no knowledge of windage or elevation techniques are required. Good marksmanship on the other hand is a must to be able to hit a target at great distance.

Freedom:
Each rifle is 100% wireless. No stupid cables are attached between you and your rifle.

Hits and FX:
When you hit another player their life allocation is reduced. When you get shot your life is deducted. The guns play loud sound samples to mimic the real deal. When you get killed your weapon system shuts down until you can be re-spawned by a Ghost Leader.

Near Miss:
If another player fires at you and misses the shot will generate a sound sample of a bullet (lead wasp) flying right pass you. Makes you keep ya head down!

Mission Overview , what we should be up to on the warday

09.30 for 10.00 am Arrival at site
After registration you will be given a short tour of the gaming facility.
This is followed by a Health & Safety briefing to ensure every player understands the rules.
Each player will then be issued with their tactical kit.

Mission 1: This is generally a warm up game to get you familiarised with the weapons. Normally it will be a Force-On-Force mission.

Mission 2:
Escort a VIP.
Your team will have to deliver an important package in the form of a human being. Get them through enemy lines and protect them at the extraction zone until the game times out.

Mission 3:
Capture the bag.
Rather like capture the flag, but with a bag instead.

Mission 4:
Team Elimination.
Track down and destroy the other side

Mission 5:
Sniper Hunt.
A team of snipers have been deployed. Your mission is to hunt them down and frag em before they get you or the game times out.

Mission 6:
Destroy and Protect.
A damaged Armoured Personnel Carrier needs repairing. Can your team locate the repair kit and hold off the enemy long enough to fix it?

Mission 7:
Ghost Leader Hunt. Time permitting your teams get to take on the marshalls and play them at their own game.
Normally it's 2 against all.

Website bach up and running

Dude has got the www.codday.co.uk site back up and running, and looking good.

Sony grabs Ghostbusters from Atari

Sony Computer Entertainment will now be publishing Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters title in a surprise deal signed with Atari today, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

The game is set for a June 19 release alongside the Sony Pictures film, but only on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 platforms.

They will have a period of exclusivity lasting several months until the PSP edition is launched.

It is unclear exactly what will happen to the Xbox 360 version of the game, although GamesIndustry.biz understands that Atari may look to publish it later on.

This will be the third publisher within a year for the Ghostbusters game. The former Vivendi title was dropped by Activision in the merger last summer, before subsequently being picked up by Atari.

"Wow! Talk about telekinetic activity, look at this mess!"

ALL I CAN SAY IS BUGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft targets Gears of War 2 cheaters, resets their Gamerscore


Major Nelson drops word that Microsoft has taken some very awesome steps toward those glitching Achievements in Gears of War 2.

Microsoft was able to target a specific group of people who unlocked Achievements in the game using a specific hack and, as you read this, is in the process of resetting their Gamerscores.

Yes, folks, they're having their Gamerscores reset back to zero.

Is this too harsh a punishment, to have all of their Gamerscore reset? Should Microsoft just erase these individuals' Gears of War 2 Achievements? ..... in a word no!!!!!!!!

Dead Rising 2 First Full Trailer

ya baby!!!!!!

1 vs. 100 free to Xbox Live Gold subs

Microsoft has said that Xbox Live Primetime quiz game 1 vs. 100 will be free to everyone with an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Based on the TV show of the same name, 1 vs. 100 pits a single player against a mob of opponents, and the object is for "the one" to get enough answers correct to outlast the others, who are eliminated and therefore thinned out somewhat if they get their answers wrong.
Players will be represented by Avatars, and according to IGN there are real prizes to be won, including Xbox Live Arcade games and Microsoft Points.
1 vs. 100 is due out this spring for Xbox 360.

Wearable Achievements for Avatars?

Microsoft is asking Xbox 360 owners what they want for their Avatars in the future.
The survey (reproduced on Kotaku) spills some interesting ideas, like special Avatar clothing handed out for in-game Achievements.
There's also talk of a virtual world for Avatars to interact in (a place they can call Home) as well as the possibility of pets and vehicles for the virtual clones.
Other suggestions include using Avatars more in games, whether people are controlling them or not; one idea has the AI use your friends' Avatars to populate your games with.
Clothing and animation creation tools are mentioned, as are ways for your Avatar to express your current mood. There's also an intriguing suggestion for an automated make-it-look-like me Avatar-creation tool, plus another automatic feature to make Avatars wear game-themed attire such as pirate costumes.
Integrating Avatars for use on Facebook is another idea on the list.
Microsoft also asks how keen people are on buying items for their Avatars, or if they want to be able to look like celebrities. Kotaku's list "strongly disagrees".

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

VERY gears of war-ey so no bad thing there... looking great!

new things coming to warfighters (hope we get them in june)


Re-AX tm is underway.


The RE-AX kit is an intelligent sensor and emitter system that can be adapted to all kinds of interactive gaming elements.


The system will do the following


Take hits and judge the damage severity based on what type of weapon is used against it


Warn players with audio samples and visual displays


Emit a "dice roll" or total kill from the sensors and remote box Can be attached to anything, Tanks, Land Rovers, buildings, boxes, players.


Oil Drum


Imagine what it would be like to fire at enemy players who are near oil drums with RE-AX attached. The drum would explode and frag any player within 20 feet.


If you shoot it with a standard assault rifle it may take 3 well places hits to ignite, yet if you use a .50cal sniper the whole thing will blow with one shot. Other drums with RE-AX within range would also ignite to cause a chain reaction.


Building


Peeps inside need killing? Fire at the RE-AX. The players inside will hear the rounds hit the outer wall. A visual indicator will let them know how many more hits the wall can take before it goes.


Again assault rifles will have little damage, .50 will blast through and a RPG will blast the thing to mars. Player inside get fragged, players outside within 20 feet get the dice roll.
