The Axew are coming! The Axew are coming!

During their E3 Developer Roundtable, Nintendo has revealed more information regarding the upcoming Pokemon X and Y.

The largest reveal of the discussion was the inclusion of two new battle types: Sky Battles and Horde Encounters. Sky Battles, as the name suggest, are held above ground and as a result only flying type Pokemon or those with the ability Levitate may participate. Horde Encounters present the largest change to battle seen yet, being a new form of wild battle forcing players to take part in 5 on 1 combat. It has also been confirmed that Horde Encounters are not limited to one type of Pokemon and may include a mix of multiple species. Multiple rulesets for battles are also said to make a reappearance, though to what degree is unknown.

We will fight them in the skies!

Regarding the game itself, a single save file is still present. Backwards compatability is “being worked on” and PSS (Player Search System) syncing is available for the 3DS Friend List, along with both local and global (via Wi-Fi) functions for battling and trading. This system will also split those you connect with into Friends, Acquaintances and Passerby, with continual interaction allowing for a “promotion” function. This allows you to add Acquaintances and Pass By into the Friends category, which is capped at 100. This occurs by first battling a Passerby, upgrading to Acquaintance, then interacting once more with an Acquaintance, promoting them to Friend. The music track played during battle with friends is also completely selectable. Players may also change the language within the game itself: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese or Korean. X and Y will also make IVs and EVs more visible within the game itself. The Pokemon-Amie feature is also said to possess an additional, yet currently undisclosed, affect on Pokemon.

Multiple methods of transportation have also been confirmed, both within the Gyms of the Kalos region and in the world itself. It was also revealed that Gogoat is not the only ridable Pokemon, with the reveal of Ryhorn as a transport Pokemon. These Pokemon will be usable in different circumstances, such as using Ryhorn to traverse rocky areas, and will be borrowed for the task.

Finally, three new Pokemon have been introduced. They are:

Pokemon-X-and-Y-07
Clauncher (Water)
Pokemon-X-and-Y-06
Skrelp (Poison/Water)
Pokemon-X-and-Y-05
Talonflame (Fire/Flying)

Revealed along with the three new Pokemon, were moves each may learn: Clauncher learns Crabhammer, Skrelp learn Sludge Bomb and Talonflame learns Brave Bird. Talonflame was also revealed to be the evolution of the earlier introduced Fletchling, losing Normal but gaining Fire type in the evolution, and will focus on Speed. It was also confirmed that the earlier introduced Pokemon Vivillon and Noivern wil be Bug/Flying and Flying/Dragon respectively.

For a brief glimpse at some of the new features, check out the trailer embedded below.

Neverwinter-Gauntlgrym-Screenshot-04

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios have quite a bit of news to unveil as their free action MMORPG – Neverwinter – has grown immense popularity. Coming June 20th, the online game will enter its official launch stage as the beta testing will be completed. Additionally, the same day will make the release of Neverwinter’s latest end-game content – Gauntlgrym. This will enable veteran players to unlock new level 60 PvE/PvP content in the depths of the Underdark. Beyond these coming releases, the expansion Fury of the Feywild has been revealed. Cryptic Studios Executive Producer and COO, Craig Zinkievich said the following:

“Boy, we have a lot going on. But then that was the plan from the very beginning. The feedback from players has been incredible. With their help during our Beta Test periods and our accumulated experience from having launched five MMOs, we’re confident we’ve worked out all the major kinks and can sustain the world of Neverwinter without the Beta safety net. I personally thank our Open Beta players for providing an enormous amount of valuable feedback and supporting us during every single step of the development process. As a token of that appreciation, we’re running an in-game promotional event near the end of Open Beta. Of course, alongside the launch day comes the release of Gauntlgrym, which adds more end-game content. And, we just announced Fury of the Feywild, our first content expansion for Neverwinter, which will all be, in classic D&D® fashion, Modules. Yeah, there is a lot going on. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. The game is doing great and we love working on it.”

With tons of content to be released in the near future, Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios aim to please. Check out the screenshots for the new end-game of Gauntlgrym below along with its unveiling trailer!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 E3 Update

castlevania-e3-update

Vampire slayers now have more to get their blood pumping as Konami has released a few interesting tidbits about their upcoming title, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, at this years E3. The game, which will be released for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, promises exciting new story elements revealing the secret of the “Lords of Shadow” s well as the experience of finally being able to play as Dracula, a first for the series.

Dracula has once again become the resurrected, but in a much weaker state then before and wanting to end the curse of immortality. Satan has also returned from where he was once banished long ago to bring about the Armageddon and ultimate revenge on those responsible for his defeat. To make sure this doesn’t happen, Dracula must try to regain his former powers and maybe even a pact with Devil will be the only thing that can do it. In the course of defeating his most evil of enemies, he will come to discover many things such as his connection to the Belmont clan and their bloody quest for revenge.

Konami promises that players will find the new addition of Dracula as an exciting feature, as you grow his powers.These powers are enhanced and sustained by the natural vampire urge to feed on unsuspecting humans. The game will also offer an open world for players to explore, with a modern twist to the familiar Castlevania setting that gamers should love. The game world is filled with challenging and elaborate environments to explore and massive labyrinths to traverse. The game should fill the void missing by the cliffhanger left by the ending of the original Lords of Shadow, and offer gamers a new experience from an old favorite.
