The Phantom Pain officially announced as Metal Gear Solid 5
Well, that was anti-climactic.
Hideo Kojima is on stage for his presentation, “Photorealism Through the Eyes of a Fox: The Core of Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes,” at this year’s Game Developers Conference. In a shock to absolutely no one (OK, my 93-year old grandma was probably surprised), the developer opened with the news that “The Phantom Pain” is indeed the fifth Metal Gear Solid game.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain was first announced at the 2012 Spike TV Video Game Awards, credited to Moby Dick Studio. The Metal Gear touches in the trailer were pretty obvious and Kojima Productions was able to keep the Metal Gear Solid 5/Phantom Pain connection a secret for about an hour before the Internet cracked their code.
What this means for the now fictional Moby Dick Studio and their bandaged CEO, Joakim Mogren, remains to be seen.

First Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD trailer confirms 2013 release date
Square Enix has officially announced that the high definition remake of Final Fantasy X will be released in North America and Europe sometime this year. They have also confirmed that the game will be bundled with an HD remake of its sequel, Final Fantasy X-2, on the PS3. The combined package will carry the rather wordy title Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster.
The remakes will also be available on the Vita, but as separate games: Final Fantasy X HD Remaster and Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster.
Best of all, the HD remakes on both platforms will include the “International Special Edition” content, which was previously unavailable in America.

Battlefield 4 revealed with 17 intense minutes of gameplay
DICE is no stranger to splashy reveals and trailers that show the horrors of war up close and personal. Last night’s Battlefield 4 debut at the 2013 Game Developers Conference offered a little bit of both. The game will be available this Fall for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Polygon‘s Brian Crecente spoke with an Electronic Arts official after the reveal and confirmed that Battlefield 4 will be available for the PS4 as well. The game runs on Frostbite 3, the latest version of DICE’s powerful engine platform. For proof of just how powerful it is, check out the 17-minute gameplay trailer above.
The demo begins as the player – Recker – opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Panic and fear are pushed aside as Recker makes a difficult decision – take the shot and recover the intel but risk that not everyone will survive. The emotional demo features a cast of characters unrivaled in interactive entertainment. Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters.
A pre-order campaign has also launched today and EA has confirmed that all early purchasers will receive access to the Premium expansion pack.
BioShock Infinite, Army of Two 3, Tiger Woods 14, more added to PS Store
It’s another big week for the PlayStation Store as Sony adds the highly anticipated BioShock Infinite to their downloadable offerings.

WRC 3 will also be downloadable for the Vita starting today, and it is joined by the award-winning adventure game Machinarium. Finally, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Iron Triangle attempts to scratch your strategy RPG itch from its new home in the PS2 Classics section.

The PAXpocalypse List: The Best of PAX East 2013
We don’t have the PAX pox, but what if the entire convention center was put under quarantine because of some mystery illness? What would you do? What would you see? We’d endure the PAXpocalypse by spending all of our time with the 13 games (nine playable, three developer-guided demos, and one board game) below. Though it would have to be after pushing the hordes of undead off our doorstep. Because any pox affecting PAXgoers would almost certainly have to lead to a zombie uprising. (more…)

Insomniac’s Fuse will detonate store shelves on May 28
During the blur that is PAX East, it’s easy to miss some stuff. Even some big things. Like the announcement that Electronic Arts and Insomniac will release Fuse on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 28. Insomniac’s futuristic co-op shooter is their first multiplatform game and their first game not to be published by Sony since 1996’s Disruptor.
Fuse has been through a ton of changes since it was first announced under its original title, Overstrike. But the core story has remained the same: “Fuse thrusts players into the roles of four elite, covert agents – Dalton Brooks, Izzy Sinclair, Jacob Kimble and Naya Deveraux – each with their own Xenotech weapon and set of unique skills used to fight to protect mankind from a deadly alien energy source known as Fuse.”
In keeping with Insomniac’s philosophy to create the coolest weapons ever for their games, players who pre-order Fuse will receive a variety of exclusive weapon and armor downloads to enhance the game. You can check those out out after the break. (more…)
