Namco Bandai “hasn’t started” Tekken X Street Fighter

Posted on May 12, 2011 by John Scalzo

Here’s a bit of a surprise. With Capcom hard at work on Street Fighter X Tekken (the publisher is targeting an early 2012 release date), Namco Bandai has revealed that they haven’t even started working on Tekken X Street Fighter.

Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada talked to CVG yesterday at the company’s Level Up event, where he broke the bad news:

“We really haven’t started on Tekken X Street Fighter. Things are going well with Street Fighter X Tekken and we’ll have more on that at E3. We hope you look forward to that.”

So I guess we got that going for us. Which is nice.

Rumor: CoD Modern Warfare 3 boxart revealed

Posted on May 11, 2011 by Warp Zoned Staff

Kotaku is claiming that they’ve gotten their hands on some leaked boxart for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The image has also appeared on the Electric Hydra forums.

Activision talked about the next entry in the Call of Duty series during their quarterly financial report on Monday. But aside from calling it “awesome,” company executives were extremely tightlipped about the upcoming game. As of right now, we don’t even know who’s developing the game, let alone if it’ll be a new entry in the Modern Warfare series.

Also popping up is the logo for something called Call of Duty: Elite, which may be that Beachhead-helmed online platform for Call of Duty that will “support in-game integration and bring online experiences and console play together.” You can catch this and the MW3 logo after the break.

So what do you think? Is this just an elaborate Photoshop job? A hoax? Or something else entirely? Sound off in the comments. (more…)

Posted on May 11, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Game director Daishi Odashima promised us last month it was coming, and now it’s official: Soul Calibur V will be launching on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. At Namco Bandai’s “Step Up Dubai 2011” event earlier today, producer Tago Hisaharu took the stage to debut the first trailer for the game. The story takes place 17 years after Soul Calibur IV, which was released back in 2008. The official website currently has a teaser countdown, which will end in a little over four hours, as of this writing.

Stay tuned for the official trailer of Soul Calibur V, as well as more details on the game as they trickle down at E3.

A few more Hitman: Absolution details

Posted on May 10, 2011 by John Scalzo

After releasing a teaser trailer this morning, Square Enix has revealed a little bit more about Hitman: Absolution this afternoon.

Scheduled for release in 2012 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, Hitman: Absolution that developer IO Interactive is calling a “familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games.” The game will be powered by the all-new Glacier 2 engine, which is an enhanced version of the company’s proprietary engine last seen in Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. We’ve also learned a few storyline details:

Hitman: Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted — and now hunted by the police — he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world.

Hitman: Absolution will make its worldwide debut at this year’s E3 Expo, which will be held from June 7-9.

Crysis 2 Retaliation Map Pack coming May 17

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Crysis 2 was far from perfect, but you can’t deny that it had a strong multiplayer component. Well, that component will be getting a little stronger come May 17 when the Retaliation Map Pack drops for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 (hopefully). It’ll cost you $9.99 and come with four new maps: Park Avenue, Transit, Shipyard, and Compound. While most of the footage above contains the awkward character animations reminiscent of Halo (which is probably why Bungie always used live action to hype up their games), the first-person gameplay looks glorious as ever.

I might actually have to grab this when the PlayStation Network gets back up.
