August 2, 2013

Real-time strategy game Wargame AirLand Battle, sequel to Wargame European Escalation, has been updated with its first free DLC titled “Vox Populi”. Players will receive an auto-update the next time they launch the game.

Vox Populi includes the return of Conquest mode, a popular feature from European Escalation, for both multiplayer and against the AI. Compatible with all existing map, victory here is determined by your ability to hold more territory than your opponent.

In addition, the new dynamic Campaign is now playable in co-op mode with a friend against the AI. In Skirmish mode you can now select the type and nationality of the equipment of any AI opponent.

Lastly, Eugen Systems have added 24 new units and 5 new maps (playable in Destruction and Conquest) as a welcome bonus.

Wargame AirLand Battle by Focus Home Interactive sees the Cold War turn hot between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. With a total of 12 nations, 750 vehicles and 150 planes available to choose from in up to 10v10 multiplayer battles, this is certainly one of the largest RTS titles in recent years.

With PS4 and Xbox One releases around the corner, one question on everybody’s mind is how will games look, and more importantly; how much of an improvement it will be from the current-gen gaming. We have seen snippets of how gaming will look for the next few years, first with the original tech demo that Sony showed where the million balls dropped onto a bride, and more recently with the Dark Sorcerer tech demo.

Today, Capcom have unveiled some test footage of their new, next-gen gaming engine, codenamed: Panta Rhei. You can check out the footage below, which shows how fire will be handled in the new engine. It also offers a nice comparison with Capcom’s current-gen engine, so you can see how far something as minor as fire physics are coming along. Deep Down will be the first game developed using Panta Rhei, and if this video is anything to go by; we are in for one hell of a treat.

Check out the video and let us know in the comments below what you think of how Panta Rhei will operate. Just remember that this is only test footage, so any games that come from this bad boy are going to look 1000x better. For all the next-gen news, stay tuned to Capsule Computers.

After it was first announced that Saints Row IV was too rough for release down in Australia and their appeal on the rating was denied, Deep Silver has been able to squeak into the country with an edited version of their game which netted them a MA15+ rating by the Australian Classification Board.

The company stated that the reason for the refusal in classification centered around the use of virtual alien drugs that players could use to improve their superpowers for a short time during an in-game mission with Shaundi. The Rectifier Probe weapon, part of the game’s announced DLC, will still be included in the Australian version of the game. This means that after the removal of that mission from the game, Saints Row IV is cleared for release in Australia when the game’s release date of August 22nd comes around.

Save Princess in Cloudberry Kingdom Today

Cloudberry Kingdom, the Pwnee Studios title that originally went through Kickstarter, and found a publisher in Ubisoft, is finally available on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Steam and Wii U! A PS Vita release is planned for later in the year.

The platformer challenges gamers with deadly obstacle-course like adversity as they attempt to cross from one end of a randomly generated level to the next. Every level is a new experience due to the random generation algorithm. As you progress successfully, they will also increase in difficulty, having the potential to give you an extremely tough time – some people just love the anguish of failure and seeming impossibility. There are ten hero types to experiment with, and three different modes of play: Story, Free Play and Arcade – which includes Time Crises, Hero Rush or Escalation. Four players maximum can compete or play co-op locally (hooray!).

So what is the tale here? It’s all about Cloudberry Kingdom’s fate, naturally. Here’s an official synopsis, if you will:

As the Orb resurfaces, the classic characters return: Kobbler with his mania, Princess with her endless boredom. It’s only a matter of time before Bob, our hero, shows up to put order back to madness. Three powers struggle for victory and the fate of Cloudberry Kingdom hangs in the balance. What will become of the retired hero, Bob? Will saving Princess one last time win her love? Could true love ever stop Kobbler and the power of the Orb? No, probably not. But hey, it’s worth a shot.

Oh and, by the way, Bob is voiced by Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Andromeda). Herc-u-freakin’-les! Not sold yet? Check out the launch trailer embedded below!

Disney Infinity Features Chaotic Combat

It seems like the sheer amount of stuff you can do in Disney‘s upcoming game is almost endless. From making your own worlds and games in a detailed sandbox mode, to using the magical storytelling and characters that only Disney could come up with, it really does sound like a game that has limitless potential. I guess that is why the game is being called Disney Infinity.

Previously we have been shown how Disney Infinity’s Toy Box, Play Sets and Power Discs will all operate on their own, but today we are given quite the treat, as we get to see how all of the Disney Infinity features come together and result in a chaotic, wild and unbelievably fun experience.

Today, in the latest trailer for Disney Infinity, we get to see how combat will operate. Mike helping Mr. Incredible fight off Omnidroids by hitting them with a shrink gun. The Lone Ranger and Sully jousting one another, or even Jack Skellington sword-fighting against Razoul (the guard from Aladdin). It is all possible in Disney Infinity.

Check out the trailer below for all the chaotic battles I just mentioned, plus a tonne more. The eagle-eyed viewer will also notice that I mentioned Jack Skellington. Much like Wreck-it-Ralph, the Pumpkin King is now on the list of characters who are kinda-confirmed-but-not-actually-confirmed. So that is something to be excited about.

Disney Infinity will be launching in just three weeks on August 22nd (August 18th in America) on PS3, Xbox 360, WiiU and 3DS, so be sure to stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the news as it becomes available.
