Read up on your warped American History and look out for that Songbird because Bioshock Infinite has officially gone gold! Announced via Irrational Games’ blog, the eagerly awaited next instalment from this award winning series will be coming to a store near you on March the 26th.

Creative Director of the game, Ken Levine spoke of the achievement: “Today, I’m happy to announce that the game has gone gold. What that means is that it has been approved by both Sony and Microsoft (and the PC Gods, natch) to be sent to the manufacturing guys to load up fleets of trucks with BioShock Infinite and be driven to a store near you on March 26th.”

Bioshock Infinite places players in the role of Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former agent who is sent to Columbia to “rescue” Elizabeth and bring her back alive in order to clear his many debts. Things are not always as they seem however and players will be rapidly plunged into a world of chaos, where gamers’ own moral compasses will be broken and you’ll need to figure out just who your friends and enemies really are.

“Nobody has ever built a game quite like this. It’s a shooter, but a shooter that brings you to very uncomfortable and dangerous places. I can’t demand that you play the game; I can promise you, however, that once you have, it will be an experience you won’t soon forget.”

Following similar tones from the previous two games, Bioshock Infinite will allow players to combine guns, a handy gadget called a Sky-Hook and some incredible powers of control, destruction and confusion; adding up to some very fun signature gameplay.

“Who is Booker, and what is the debt that drives him to Columbia? What are Elizabeth’s powers and why has she been locked up since she was a child? Why does Booker have the letters ‘AD’ branded into his right hand? And what, in God’s name, is the Songbird.
Columbia is a city teeming with mystery. I’m glad to say that one mystery is over: On March 26th, you will be able to play BioShock Infinite.”

Fans the world over will be able to get their hands on the game on March 26th, with the title arriving on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Square Enix announces new Final Fantasy news at E3 2013…

Today during Sony’s PlayStation Meeting where the company had earlier announced the PlayStation 4, Final Fantasy brand director Shinji Hashimoto took to the stage. The crowd quieted as fans of the Final Fantasy everywhere began whispering of what the news could be. Could it be Final Fantasy XIII Versus? Final Fantasy XV? Final Fantasy XIII-3? God help us Final Fantasy: All the Bravest 2?

Well it turns out that all that excitement was for nothing, because Shinji stood up on that stage and said to “please be excited for E3 this year.” He could have saved himself some money on a plane ticket and just did a video recording or a satellite broadcast from Japan but hey, least he got to see New York City. Oh well, E3 2013 will see the announcement of a new Final Fantasy game of some sort…

Blizzard and Sony have announced a strategic partnership, seeing the gaming giant returning to the console market. Chris Metzen told the audience that Diablo III will be coming to the PS4 fully optimized for the new controller.

There is a huge leap from the complex menus and controls to a console platform but Chris Metzen ensured us that this port will be focused making Diablo III user interface more friendly than the PC version. In particular he highlighted the frustration some PC users indicated they had with customizing your character’s avatar.

Without going into detail Blizzard also announced that the game will be 4 player cooperative without the difficulties of a camera squeezing all characters in the one shot. How this will be achieved was not described in detail but they seemed to be pretty confident that one player could go to town without ruining game play for everyone else. Blizzard is using the tagline ‘One Couch to Rule Them All’ to describe this achievement.

Whenever a console is released, they require a lot of third party support or else consumers will move away from the system. You see, without multiple titles worth playing from everyone’s favorite developers and series.

As such, during their PlayStation 4 presentation Sony decided to toss up an image of a large collection of company logos such as Activision, EA, Square Enix, Namco Bandai, Ubisoft and more huge companies. Also found in this list are a number of smaller Japanese companies such as Gust, Nippon Ichi, Atlus and more. So expect to see plenty of games in the future for the PlayStation 4. No big surprise but hey why not show them off early.

PlayStation 2013: Watch_Dogs on the PS4

Yves Guillemot, CEO and Chairman introduced Watch Dogs creative director Johnathan Morin to lead us into a live Watch Dogs demo, although as mentioned immediately after the conference on GameTrailers, the demo was actually on PC, but the game will look/run very similarly on PS4. We have video of the demonstration to show you below, courtesy of Ubisoft.

The demo was very impressive and showed off many new abilities of Aiden Pearce (not Superhuman of course) as he hacks his way across Chicago. Aiden’s first course of action was hacking an ATM machine to gain some cash before he decides to follow a girl who may have been under threat. Witnessing a potential crime in-action, Aiden could see the chance in percentages that the offender would actually commit a crime above his head and decides to intervene at around 80% as the assailant holds a knife to the girl’s neck.

As he moves on, even more functionality and mechanics are shown. It suffices to say that Aiden truly has control over the city. Check out the video below to see how the demo progresses. For all future Watch Dogs news, stay tuned to Capsule Computers.
