Square Enix are top blokes wouldn’t you say? They make some really great games, specifically in the genre of role playing games. Their latest really great game looks to be Bravely Default: Flying Fairy for the Nintendo 3DS which is flying into Japanese stores this coming October.
That’s right, Square Enix have finally confirmed the Japanese release date for this hotly anticipated title, which will hit shelves October 11th for the price of 6,090 yen. The game is also coming in a special Collector’s Edition exclusive from Square Enix’s e-Store which will include a soundtrack, art book, poster and 3DS cover. This will come at a pretty hefty price of 12,800 yen.
What do you think of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy? Does it excite you like a giddy little child? It evokes that reaction from me. If it does for you, let us know in the comments section below.
Spec Ops: The Line may have just launched, but DLC is already on the way for 2K’s latest. This August, four co-op campaign missions will be added that that take place before the campaign, adding in a good amount of story and gameplay to keep this title as your primary shooter.
That alone is good news, but to make things sweeter, this DLC will be completely free and will feature new characters and areas that are sure to keep fans coming back for more. Yes, this is the kind of DLC we like to see, and being at no cost puts it over a lot of it’s competition almost instantly, which is a brilliant move to make for a new IP. Now if we can get other publishers to follow this type of mindset.
As of last nights maintanence, the latest version of the the Star Wars MMORPG, Star Wars the Old Republic has been launched. This brings the game version up to the long awaited 1.3 which introduces some great gameplay additions that are sure to assist players in their Star Wars adventure.
Star Wars The Old Republic Patch 1.3 “Allies” is a pretty decent update to the game with a few notable additions being introduced. First, we have the new Group Finder system, which should assist players in looking for groups to tackle dungeons with. How many of us have been going around from Carrick Station to whatever the planet is at the time that is the same level as the dungeon just to spam for more party members? We all have, This should hopefully alleviate that process some.
The second addition are the ranked warzones. Players are finally able to PvP for ranked gear and notoriety based on their skills in the ranked warzones. This also includes rank tracking, making your e-peen look that much longer.
Legacy perks are the next big addition to the game. Everyone knows how the Legacy system is supposed to affect their characters. Well now characters are finally going to be able to level their Legacy perks which are all categorized and bring unique benefits to the player character.
And finally we have an addition called Adaptive Gear. Basically what Adaptive Gear does is it allows the player to wear their social clothing options over the top of their armour whilst retaining the bonuses from having the armour on. Could this be used deceptively in PvP?
Paramount have released some more clips from the upcoming Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D movie to join the rest of the clips they have released.
The first is a clip about Katy Perry’s fans, who range from small excitable kids, to older, excitable adults. It’s sweet how warmly Katy treats them, and it is nice to see the positive effect that Katy Perry has on fans. Often singers will instill a sense of hope and inspiration within fans, and it certainly looks like Katy Perry has done this with her fans.
The second clip is about her grandma, a cute little few moments that seeks to take the grandeur of Katy Perry’s life and her performance and ground it more for the watcher. Judging from the clip, it will probably work, because like most grandmothers she’s got a healthy dose of sass on her.
Check out the videos below!
Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D is hitting cinemas on July 5. Keep tuned to Capsule Computers for more information as it comes out!

It comes with a Marcus Kincaid bobblehead doll just like the one seen on the bus in the beginning of the first Borderlands.

>Resident Evil 6 – Release Date: October 2, 2012
Last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST is the Resident Evil 6 limited edition that retails for… 1,293 US Dollars. You may be asking yourself how this is possible, the answer is this: Leon Kennedy…well, not him but his jacket. For the low price of almost $1300 Capcom will provide you with a copy of Resident Evil 6, four tablet covers (yes tablet covers) and most importantly, a real leather jacket that is an exact replica of the one Leon wears in game. This bundle is only available through Capcom’s website e-capcom.com. If you’re in Europe and $1300 is out of your price range, there is a collector’s edition that may be a better fit for you. An EU exclusive at this time, the price has not been announced but it is sure to be cheaper than the limited edition and will include a steel book case, a very interesting collector’s box, some emblems from groups in the game, an art book, a hoodie and digital extras.
Happy spending.
Wearing this jacket will not make you as cool as Leon Kennedy
We’ve all heard how the new Lara Croft will sound in Square Enix’s next Tomb Raider game, but we haven’t actually heard who will be playing her voice actress. Sure a few people could have guessed correctly, but now we know for sure as Square Enix revealed today that Camilla Luddington of Californication and True Blood fame is voicing the young adventurer.
Square Enix stated that after using international talent scouts Luddington “stood out as delivering both a depth of emotion and the youthful tone” that they wanted Lara Craft to have when the game is released on March 5th next year. Though perhaps they should have warned her that most of her dialogue would be pain filled cries as she gets the hell beat out of her in this brutal looking installment to the franchise.
Beloved name in the gaming community, Atari are celebrating their 40th Anniversary on June 27th! But instead of asking for presents, they’ve decided to give out presents to their fans which is just about the best way to celebrate a birthday ever.
