Battlefield 3 Close Quarters Now Out On PS3

Playstation 3 owners should be in awe of the new Battlefield 3 expansion pack, Close Quarters, as it was released earlier today for Battlefield 3 players on that system. The soldiers on this platform now have access to the second expansion pack for the Battlefield 3 service a full week ahead of the Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC owners who have not yet purchased the Premium service.

The Close Quarters expansion pack focuses on very close and frenetic gameplay, which many players liken to Call of Duty but I think is much closer to F.E.A.R (Combat). Combat is a very tight affair with players battling over a few locations in a single building, or warehouse, in a cross between TDM and Conquest. It is A LOT of fun.

Close Quarters brings the following to the Battlefield 3 Experience –

  • 10 new Assignments
  • 5 unique dog tags
  • 10 new weapons to use on all Battlefield 3 maps including:

1.       AUG Assault Rifle

2.       SCAR Assault Rifle

3.       ACW-R Carbine

4.       MTAR-21 Carbine

5.       M417 Sniper Rifle

6.       JNG-90 Sniper Rifle

7.       L86LSW Machine Gun

8.       LSAT Machine Gun

9.       M5K Tactical Machine Pistol

10.   SPAS-12 Shotgun (YAY!)

Players can pick this expansion pack up for $23.95 on the PSN right now, for 1200 MSPoints on XBLA or $19.99 on PC next week. Or alternatively, you can purchase Battlefield Premium for $49.99 (PC), $64.95 (PS3) and 4000 MS Points (Xbox 360), which seems like it might be cheaper than buying all the Xpacs separately if these prices are any indication on future releases. Purchasing Premium will also give you (I think) a two week headstart on all expansions, which means that as a PC (or X360) player, you can be playing Close Quarters right now.

As of now, we are less than two months away from the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. Now, as many of you know, this title is all about loot collecting and turning the insides of your pockets gold, and that concept is being heavily promoted by Nintendo as of late.

Furthering the hype train comes a batch of new artwork, showing off golden versions of Mario and his many power-ups and foes. It all looks lovely, and quite unique compared to the series’ previous offerings. I know many of you are awaiting that big, bold cup of freshness to come to Mario, but this game as a whole seems to be catered to the hardcore and seems like a Mario title that will keep you coming back for more due to the whole collecting them coins gimmickry. Check out the new artwork below, and stay tuned as there is sure to be more golden coverage to come.

Introducing New Indie 2D Platformer Triangle Man!

Triangle Man is a new game from Convict Interactive that takes on the popular genre of 2D platformer, in which you have to get Triangle Man to the end of each level alive and with as many coins under his belt as possible. But it isn’t as simple as it sounds, with most levels actually requiring you to control more than one Triangle Man, you have to really focus your multi-tasking skills and take on this multiple-triangled challenge.

With a whole bunch of enemies, a range of challenges to come up against, and the serious skill that it takes to coordinate more than one triangle at a time, this game is sure to be a challenge. So long as you aren’t a rage-quit type of gamer, you should enjoy it.

Check out the trailer for the game below and let us know what you think in the comments section!

There is no official release date for the game yet, but it is going to be released for PC, and perhaps move onto other platforms depending on its reception. In the meantime, head on over to the website for more information, or keep tuned to Capsule Computers for updates on the game as they come.

If you are into getting your games by the bundle and lack three of the biggest arcade releases to grace the Xbox Marketplace, you can now feel joyous in knowing that Ubisoft seems to be prepared to release a compilation disc of their biggest XBLA hits.

A recent listing on Amazon.co.uk outs Beyond Good & Evil, From Dust, and Outland in the “Ubisoft Xbox Live Hits Collection”, which has been given an art and a release date of September 22, 2012. Not too shabby at all, as seeing BG&E on a disc again is always a good thing. The price is listed at £17.99 at the moment as well, which would put a North American version at $19.99, meaning the value is still strong for what’s included. Ubisoft are more than likely going to come out with a more official announcement in coming weeks for this outing, and if you haven’t grabbed any of these titles from Xbox Live thus far, contain yourself as a better value is on the way.

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan Manga Ending

Really what manga isn’t ending these days? It feels as though there is a truly immense shift in the manga industry happening, with many industry goliaths approaching their end point such as Naruto and Bleach. But it’s not just the big series that will leaving an impact, but also the smaller ones such as Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan.

In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump it has been confirmed what many have long expected – Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan is ending. The official announcement has been made that Hiroshi Shiibashi will be wrapping up the series in the coming weeks, with the final chapter oddly being moved into the seasonal magazine Jump NEXT! (Formerly known as Akamaru Jump). Not only will the manga be ending but apparently following the series conclusion their will be a major ‘top secret’ announcement. One could speculate one of two things; there is another anime adaptation on the way or Shiibashi will begin work on a new manga series.

This is truly a sad yet exciting time or manga fans, with many series wrapping up, there is just as many beginning. What more can I say besides: Bring on the next generation of manga!

What do you think of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan coming to an end? Let us know in the comments section below.

Metal Gear Solid 5 is in the works

In an Interview with French magazine IG Magazine Hideo Kojima has revealed that Metal Gear Solid 5 is currently in development.   Kojima revealed that it will be using the new Fox Engine, and infiltration will return.  Kojima went on to say that he liked some the features in Deus Ex Human Revolution and may implement some of the features in Metal Gear Solid 5.  Kojima was also acted about Metal Gear Rising: Revangence which is slated for release next year. Kojima had this to say.

“Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance never claimed to be a Metal Gear Solid. This is not a game on our beloved Solid Snake. It is a spin-off that tries something different. We have not yet finished with Solid Snake, despite the fact that I wanted to let him die at the end of Guns of the Patriots. ”

 

It is unknown at this time wether Kojima will be the game director for Metal Gear Solid 5 as he is busy with ” Project Ogre” , or when Konami will make an official announcement. The Tokyo Game Show is  in September so Konami could possibly make an offical announcement there.

Explosive Alan’s “Project Possum” Breaks $20K

Explosive Alan’s “Project Possum” has recently broken $20K on Indiegogo, with 24 days still left to go. “Project Possum” was announced last week, with an initial goal of $10k to allow them to create a multi-platform show pilot that they will then shop to networks. The initial goal was only $10K but that was passed on the first day, it has taken them far longer to reach the $20k mark but as a reward for making it they will now produce a fully fledged “mantler” video (stretch goal).

Explosive Alan is made up of  Dan Maher, Gareth Wild and Ashley Denton who were all formerly part of the “Inside Xbox” team before it was cancelled earlier this year by Microsoft. They originally were focussed on their online “Homework” series before announcing “Project Possum”, though they will continue to work on both.  Though in the past there has been little success with gaming shows in the UK, if anybody could do it successfully it would be the Inside Xbox team, given there past track record and fan base.

Check below the break to see the initial project video.
