If you clicked the link to this article hoping to see what the front of a PlayStation 4 box art would look like then we should probably inform you now that this doesn’t contain that reveal. What it does contain however is a particular set of box arts that are already known to the world such as the box art for the PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360 and PC version of the game.
As for the PlayStation 4 cover, it will likely feature the same image but who knows how it will by stylized at this point. Anyways, Watch Dogs will be hitting store shelves this holiday season for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC.
You may remember that not too long ago a teaser website for something many people thought alluded to Prey 2 had been posted online. The site with the title “Alien Noire” had references to the main character of the original Prey title, Tommy, hidden in the site’s source code.
Well if you check out that Alien Noire website now, you’ll notice that not only does it have a Prey 2 logo on top of it, but the company logos for Bethesda and Human Head Studios are also on the bottom of the site. While this should be an obvious clue to those looking forward to Prey 2, it seems Bethesda may not have a hand in things.
Speaking with Joystiq, a representative from Bethesda stated that “I don’t know what that is or who is doing it. It’s not something we’re doing.” While this could mean that the company was in the dark about the teaser site, it could be them simply remaining aloof concerning the website’s origin and mysterious countdown timer until the big reveal. Time will tell.
Continuing with what has become a long running trend since December, Atlus USA has released a new trailer for Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan which shows off yet another character class. This time around Atlus has something a little different to reveal though, the Bushi class.
From what was shown in the video, which you can check out below, the Bushi are anthropomorphic beast warriors who are terrors on the battle field and deal out massive damage. What sets them apart from other warrior classes such as the Landsknecht? Well you’ll have to wait until the game is released next week on February 26th to test them out for yourselves.
Today we have some good news for fans of the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei title, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. Atlus has revealed that the official English website for the game has just launched and can now be accessed here.
The website contains not only additional biographies and information about each character in the game, but extra plot details, information about the world itself and various features that the game will contain once it is released on April 16th exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS. Also, there are a few wallpapers there and a chance to catch some of the game’s background music a little over two months early.
DeNA Co. and Runaway are taking players to the beauty of the rain forests to experience butterflies. Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary will allow players to collect and raise butterflies from around the world. Each butterfly is modelled after its real life counterpart in behaviour and wing pattern.
The developers at Runaway spent countless hours researching the butterflies that call their local museum’s hot house home. Players will be able to experience the incredible life cycle of the butterfly as they collect items to build a viable butterfly habitat. “It’s our mission to create great games inspired by nature,” said Tim Nixon, director at Runaway. “This area of focus gives us a huge world of wonder to draw upon for characters and stories, while still being able to craft a unique style and feel to our games. Flutter is our best work to date and it finds a wonderful balance between factual authenticity and the magic of gameplay.”
Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary is available fore free on the iTunes App Store here.
FromSoftware is bringing Armored Core: Verdict Day to the North American shores this summer. Players will participate in the battle for precious natural resources in squads of up to twenty members and battle each other online or in co op mode.

“The Armored Core series has continually found itself a deep and dedicated fanbase,” said Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “Armored Core: Verdict Day expands the level of immersion with more advanced customization fine tuning and streamlined multiplayer modes.”
Armored Core: Verdict Day will be released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this summer. Find out more about Armored Core: Verdict Day at the official page here.

If you’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Crysis 3 well then you won’t have to wait any longer. Out now all across the globe, this sci-fi military shooter does what pretty much every game has to do when it first comes out, release a launch trailer. The funny thing is though that this particular trailer seems to be more of an extension of the “Suit Up” promotional video with some added in gameplay sections at the end. While this is perfectly fine and the marketing certainly does say ‘this game will be fun, play me’ it is a little odd to have not included any story elements at any point throughout. Whether this is because Crytek wish to avoid giving away any spoilers for Crysis 3 or (more likely) they just wanted to focus on the most enjoyable parts of the game is undecided, but rest assured that the trailer down below will definitely get you pumped for the shooter.
If you want to pick up Crysis 3 it’s officially out now in Australia as well as around the world, available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Prophet is back in a newly upgraded Nanosuit and armed with the deadly Predator’s Bow, with players able to use his speed, strength and stealth to tackle levels in any way they wish. Sneak through, run in guns blazing or just kick a car at your enemy’s face, the choice is all up to you in Crysis 3.
For gaming nerds, this is pretty cool to witness…Will Wright, the creator of the original SimCity back in 1989, interviewing the creative director of the upcoming SimCity reboot, Ocean Quigley.
During his stay as special guest at the SimCity team’s studios, Will received the opportunity to poke, prod and tinker with the current (at the time) build of this new iteration in the series. It was also a great chance to catch up with some of his former Maxis colleagues, of which Ocean is one.
Please check out the video interview below this article to see the two talk about the history of SimCity and the ways that Will was pleasantly surprised to see this new SimCity evolve his original visions for the franchise. SimCity will be released on March 7th here in Australia and March 8th in New Zealand on PC and Mac.
