Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 is full of basterds
There’s a thin line between “delightful homage” and “copyright infringement” and Gearbox’s next game, Brothers In Arms: Furious 4, dances right along it. Furious 4 brings the Duke Nukem Forever developer back to World War II with a squadron of soldiers who use some rather… unorthodox… methods when fighting Nazis behind enemy lines.
The game will offer a four-player co-op allowing you and all your friends to play as Stitch, a crazed guy who employs a tazer; Crockett, a Texan who carries a six-shooter and a cattle brand; Chok, a Native-American who throws a mean hatchet; and Montana, the big bruiser with the minigun (every game’s gotta have one). Their mission is to track down Hitler himself while battling a “secret” army full of Nazi “experiments.”
So yeah, it’s basically Inglourious Basterds: The Game.
Ubisoft will release Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.
EA @ E3 11: Battlefield 3 to get tracking/social service, multiplatform open beta incoming
Battlefield 3 is the arguable centerpiece of EA’s E3 press conference, and it’s certainly getting the star treatment. DICE has revealed that a service similar to Call of Duty: Elite will be launching for the game, where players can track their statistics and organize into squads, even launching the game from the service. We’ll also be able to taste the game’s sweet multiplayer soon, as an open beta will begin soon and continue on until September.
Battlefield 3 will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 25.
EA @ E3 2011: Insomniac’s mulitplatform title is Overstrike
Insomniac Games founder Ted Price has taken the stage at EA’s press conference and revealed Overstrike, the company’s first multiplatform title. After serving up PlayStation fans since Sony’s original console, Insomniac will finally bring its wacky weapons, humor, and storytelling to Microsoft fans. The four-player co-op game follows an elite anti-terrorist group known as the Overstrike 9 as they attempt to stop an attempt to wipe out humankind.
Overstrike is in in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
EA @ E3 11: Need For Speed: The Run takes you out of the car
That’s right. For the first time in the series, Need For Speed: The Run will have sequences when players actually exit the vehicle. These segments complement the characteristic chase sequences of the series well, as they look mostly like action-packed cutscenes where quick time events determine whether or not you get away safely (and into another car). At EA’s press conference, a live demonstration showed the player getting out during a crash, running through stairwells and across buildings before commandeering a police vehicle. Later on the player had to kick his way out of the car’s window in order to escape an oncoming train.
In order to bring the action to life, The Run will also be utilizing DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 engine, the powerhouse currently running Battlefield 3‘s impressive visuals. Expect more info on DICE’s latest military shooter as EA’s press conference continues.
EA @ E3 11: Mass Effect 3 dated March 6, 2012
After a couple of delays, Mass Effect 3 finally has an official release date: the game will be launching on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 on March 6 next year. Mass Effect 3 will be the last game in the trilogy, featuring scale not seen in the previous games, as well as the previously detailed Kinect support.
Ninja Gaiden III E3 trailer is bloody awesome
Tecmo Koei has released the E3 trailer for Ryu Hayabusa’s next adventure and it looks like the ninja will be emerging on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2012. This is the first time the series has debuted on both HD consoles at the same time.
Oh, and this trailer is not for the squeamish. Tomonobu Itagaki may have left Team Ninja, but the trailer is full of blood and guys and some absolutely awesome ninja action.

MS @ E3 11: Halo 4 announced, coming in 2012
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary isn’t the only Halo game Microsoft was ready to announce at this year’s E3 Expo. The publisher has just confirmed that Halo 4 is in development at 343 Industries and will be released near the end of 2012.
The teaser trailer is short, just a few seconds of Cortana waking the Master Chief from cryostasis before his ship explodes. Halo 4 is described as the “dawn of a new trilogy for the Xbox 360,” so you can be sure the Xbox 360 will be around for a long time. And, if you think about it, this is also an announcement for Halo 5 and Halo 6.
But that’s the end of the show. Hope you enjoyed the 2011 E3 Press Conference from Microsoft.
