SimCity Six-Hour Challenge kicks off February 27th in Sydney

SimCity is launching soon, but don’t think EA are going to let the franchise return without a celebration. This Wednesday, six teams of two players will be put in a glass box and instructed to take the new game through the ropes, making a perfect city in the process as part of a six hour challenge.

So how do you get to view this in action? Well, just show up at the Customs House in Sydney and you will get to watch this event unfold, where players will be tested by the real-life events of the final version of SimCity. This glass box team building event will take place between 8am to 2pm, at Customs House courtyard, Circular Quay, and will feature Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Big Brother’s Stacey Wren looking over the festivities. Quite an interesting way to kick off SimCity’s launch, so if you are in the area, check it out for yourself.

Remember that studio called Respawn Entertainment that was formed not that long ago by members of the Call of Duty 4 team and other groups? Well it seems they may have something coming soon… maybe… or not… who knows. Anyways, Respawn Entertainment’s co-founder Vince Zampella took to Twitter to let fans know that the team will be at E3 2013.

Of course whether they will be announcing an actual game, or announcing a publishing deal with a major studio, or simply walking around looking at how Activision has moved on without them since the studio formed two years ago, has yet to be seen. Guess we’ll have to wait until June to find out whether Respawn Entertainment can bring something new to the table.

Diablo III for PS3/PS4 can be played offline in co-op

Always on DRM is becoming a common practice for most PC games and consumers widely agree that when Diablo III required a constant online connection to be played, things were getting pretty ridiculous at this point. However with the game making the trip to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, will that feature remain active?

Doesn’t look like it. In an interview with GameTrailers, Sony’s John Hight stated that “You can have four people on the same screen. No split-screen, we just zoom the camera out. Or, you know, if you’re offline…” This means that gamers will at least be able to play local multiplayer on Diablo III without connecting to the internet and will likely even be able to play the single player without being online, because it’s an amazing world we live in.

Important news has sprung concerning the old school version of RuneScape. The community has spoken with an overwhelming amount of users wanting the 2007 version of the title brought back but on its own server. Jagex Ltd has enabled the public to vote and will determine how much attention the server will be given from the community’s voting response. Here is Jagex’s voting criteria:

Currently over 400,000 votes have been compiled nearing close to the 500,000 requirement. Voting will continue to be open until 00:00 GMT on March 1, 2013. Hopefully the community can raise enough votes (750,000) to have the 2007 version as an additional free-to-play server which will receive weekly maintenance and consistent polls for new content.

Need to cast your vote? Look no further –> HERE <–
