In response to many people telling them that their game is either too hard or too easy Creative Assembly have decided to add 2 new difficulty modes in the newest update for Alien Isolation.
Alien Isolation now has a Nightmare mode which will pit you against a smarter and faster Xenemorph more durable androids, and no HUD meaning you will never know how long your flashlight has left or how much health you have after a close encounter.
However like many of us you thought the game was already hard enough the novice mode may be a better option. This makes the Xenemorph a lot less adaptive making it a lot easier to hide from or deter, it also give Amanda a lot more health making the encounter with other humans and androids a little less intense.

The PlayStation Experience has now ended and there has been no news of a release date for Planetside 2the game did still get its time in the spotlight.
We got both some amazing first footage of the game playing on the PS4 along with a long awaited beta signup. The signup is like a usual game, you will sign up and your registration will be thrown into the mix of plenty of other names and you will have a chance of being sent an invite from the developers.
Despite the fact the Planetside 2 beta sign up is live the PlayStation 4 release date is still unconfirmed but it is unlikely we will get news concerning this until we enter 2015.
Metal Gear Online has just been confirmed to ship with Metal Gear Solid 5, Konami confirmed this on Monday just after the game’s official gameplay showcase at The Game Awards.
Metal Gear Online will not require a subscription or an upfront payment which is always great news. The game will pit two teams against each other in various different objective based modes.
In a press release, Konami announced,
“METAL GEAR ONLINE is a dedicated multi-player mode that segues into elements of the main game and will be included with the single player campaign in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN at no extra cost.”
Metal Gear Solid 5 will be available in 2015 for PS4, and Xbox One, it has been confirmed that a PC edition is in the works but a there is no release date for it yet.
It’s the cartoon spaghetti-western third-person shooter you never knew you needed, until now. Secret Ponchos.
“Secret Ponchos takes place in a dramatic Wild West setting, full of tension, stylization and attitude reflective of a graphic-novel. In a town crawling with bandits, murderers and bounty hunters you are an outlaw with a bounty on your head and everyone is gunning for you. In order to survive you must be the best and to gain notoriety you must defeat your opponents–claiming their achievements as your own. How many you kill and the rewards you collect define your legacy.” – secretponchos.com.
The first thing that strikes you about the game is the art style. Put shortly it’s awesome, and Switchblade Monkeys have definitely got this right as it fits the setting and makes Secret Ponchos very nice to look at.
But how does it play? The answer is quite good, actually. You play as an outlaw of your choosing, each with their own style, which you can customise to some extent as you then set off to the saloon/desert for an 8 player scrap to see who truly is the best in the West.
You have control of your outlaw from an overhead view and can rotate 360 degrees as you traverse the map. Gameplay is hectic, fast paced and requires quick reactions if you’re going to win gun fights. Personally I prefer ‘Phantom Poncho’ who makes use of his bullwhip to knock players down and his phantom dash, which coupled with the shotgun can be a deadly combo.
Available games modes are:
A single player tutorial
Domination – 2vs2, 4vs4
Deathmatch – 1vs1, 2vs2, 4vs4
Free for all – 8 Player
The only real let down with the game is that it has no ‘story mode’ and there is potential for one, but you’ll probably be too occupied with gunning players down in the PVP arenas to really care. The ultimate aim is to become a legend, one that strikes fear in your opponents whenever you pop up in the lobby.
Secret Ponchos is out now on PS4 and delivers a fun yet competitive experience just in time for the holidays, and it’s free for PlayStation Plus users. PC Users can get into the Early Access via Steam.
The Witcher 3 was scheduled for release in February 2015 however the creators of the game CD Projekt RED have now decided to delay the game 3 months making the release date May 2015.
CD Projekt RED have released a statement regarding the delay.
Dear Gamers,
Ever since we started working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we knew it would be an ambitious game. We wanted, and still aim, to give you an incredible experience, an epic adventure in a vast, completely open fantasy universe.
The sheer size and complexity of The Witcher, key features of the title, have had a decisive impact on production. Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio’s history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly.
With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks, so we are shifting the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to May 19th, 2015.
We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily. It’s a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologize and ask for your trust.
Thank you for the all support you show us on a daily basis. We truly do appreciate it. It has fueled us in our passion since the start and will continue to do so.
Insomniac Games have added some enticing new information to their official site that reveals the games new DLC pack for Sunset Overdrive is named Mooil Rig. As the name suggests the DLC takes place on an offshore rig that is infested by the ravenous mutants which are the water alternative to the OD.
Considering the game takes place in the middle of the ocean, traversal of the map will be a difficult thing to do so Insomniac have added a few new attacks that revolve around water traversal.
The Sunset Overdrive DLC also comes packed with a new weapon called The Rivet Gun which will be available in the full game and in the multiplayer mode once you have purchased the DLC. The DLC will be available December 23 and will be included in the season pass but no other information on the games pricing.
